2 french radiostations announce CD for this summer

[nesquick]

2 of the biggest french radiostations, NRJ and RTL2, wich have a very serious reputation, announced this afternoon that the album "Chinese Democracy" is going to be released this summer. Take it for what it is: either they picked-up their news on the internet (like us) and it's nothing new, or they had news from the GN'R record company (wich would be pretty serious). I have just e-mailed them, I'm standing for their answer. I don't know much more for the moment. Maybe Will can confirm all that story because that's what I was told.

hmmm...
I guess the first place we should find news like this, would be on Interscope.com er something. im pretty sure they just read some of this dirty rumours on the internet.!

In the february issue of Mojo it says that CD will probably be released this spring.... What is that based on? Have you read it? There is nothing really new in the paper otherwise, just Mick Wall writing about the good days and a short article about the newer days.

I think in this day and age everyone gets their "news" from the internet and we all know how reliable that is...

NRJ and RTL2, wich have a very serious reputation,

Please tell me you're joking. NRJ has been playing bubblegum crap for ten years now, they have absolutely no credibility giving GN'R news. I'm even surprised they talked about them since they never play them.
Most DJs are incredibly misinformed and ignorant about music. Sometimes I can't believe what I hear coming out of their mouths (be it about new bands or old).
I bet they just took their "news" from the web. Therefore it should be taken with a huge grain of salt just like any other rumour.

[Assman]

You're probably right, but in that case we should stop buying the papers that don't have credible sources!

It's one thing if we read something for free on the internet, but if we pay we should get real articles, by real journalists who get their information from solid sources.

[mikegiuliana]

sounds like bullshit, guess if you say enough dates one will be right eventually..

[Cocaine__tongue]

I also think they just take the news from the internet without researching. for example, if you search at this exact moment for news in google news, one of the news says: "guns n roses album finally set for release".

If you go inside and read the article, it's just based in tommy's recent comments.

Beware of the "big garbage can".

well I suppose radiostations have contacts with record companies...and it's also weird that nrj and rtl2 both shared the same news, the same day about gn'r while they haven't even talked of GN'R for about 10 years. I don't know maybe it's BS but...we never know.

[norway]

because of recent events and the members interviews it could like this from their angel?

[Will]

They probably took their news from the internet, like almost everyone else nowadays concerning GN'R.

[Izzy]

Chinese Democracy starts now!

[Nytunz]

Sounds abit strange to me, that only the French radiostation knows about it. (if it should turn out to be true). So im Seceptical about its something to put your trust in.
 But, i guess no one on this forum will belive it when it finally happen. So.. we never know...

Really? That's actually strange.

Maybe the two of these incredibly misinformed and ignorant DJs are friends and had a lunch together at some internet cafe.

[jarmo]

NRJ? We have that here in Sweden too.

Must be the worst radio station there is. They only play commercial crap over and over again. The only listenable band they'd ever play is U2.

I wouldn't call those DJs reliable.....

They have contact with records companies when they get promo CDs or stuff like that. But as far as news are concerned, they most definitely know less than us, especially considering GN'R dont exactly fit in their format.
My guess is that Tommy's comments were reported on some music industry forum such as the Velvet Rope and that the two DJs saw it there.

[fesxine]

i think the announcement is based on rumour, hopefully a good rumour

[WARose]

i believe in nearly nothing what the press says about gnr and axl since i read this kerrang(?) article about the new gnr songs in which the journalist told about the new songs and with the new songs he meant crash diet and just another sunday etc. ....

Oui fm talked about the CD release too ... I think it's finally a good sign something might be happening. I know NRJ is not reliable while talking about a rock issue but it's the first time in a decade they speak about gnr and this on the news just behind the students' strikes. The thing I found extremely curious is that Oui fm spoke about a release on BMG records .... ?
