Could we get an "official update" doing this!?

[usurper]

I dont think shutting down all websites and forums for a few days is a good idead, well because I think asshole got his internet connection taking away.

[Luigi]

Your wright, he don't care cause,  A) he's not planning on releasing this year,  or B) were just a bunch of impatient fucks or C) there rehearsing new gutairist and new songs albums finished they'll be releasing in June. pick one

[*Izzy*]

I'd pick B) or C)? ?

  Izzy?

Jesus Christ, what you all tend to forget is that there is nothing to report. If there is important news, you'll hear it. If the album is ready to roll, you'll hear it. What do you people want? An update right now??? You will get something close as. "where working on it people, there are much issues going round yet to solve before we can get this fucker started". Or this "well, I'm now busy with working on The Blues, still some tweaking to do on the volume of different occuring instruments, but right now, uncle Axl goes to the toilet to take a dump so I can think about it while doing my thing".

Will that make you happy?? Wouldn't such statement be kinda obvious? We know more then enough for whats going on now. They are working on it, they are still busy with all kinda things before they can effectively bring out CD. Tadaaaa, there is your update. Axl doesn't need to tell you that coz we already KNOW that. So why bitching?? He does not owe you a fuck.

This hasn't got ANYTHING to do with Axl not giving a damn about his fans updated or anything. Just fucking wait. And if you can't wait, then don't wait. go on with your lives but don't take your frustration out on Axl.

How old are you? 12? "I want a statement right now or otherwise I don't like Axl anymore". Thats how some of the boardmembers sound like. Childish and plainly stupid. You know why Axl doesnt give us a statement. Because it could bite him back in the ass if it doesn't happen. Would you then be happy? He is just as frustrated as all of you. To make this all work takes allot of time. Time you all wouldn't even imagine it would take. And noooo not the supposibly 10 years in the making. That is bullshit. The bandmembers are kinda roulating aren't they? When did we first saw Richard Fortus? 2000 or something? Get my drift? Ohh and isn't buckethead gone? Wouldn't that take time to sort it out.

YES AXL Does owe a fucking explination.... He owes a fucking explanation about why he didnt fucking show up in Philly or the rest of the tour....

To just fuck your fans the way that they did is fucking bullshit.... .. Bands dont do that... schedule a tour and then in the middle just pack it up and go home quietly and never say another thing untill thier next "show" is OHHH my god!! CANCELLED!!!!!   coz the fucking guitar player quit...

Axl owes alot of explanation about why he gets peoples hopes up and then fucking cancels after everyone has made plane ticket and hotel reservations...

He has some of the most die hard fans in the world and all they fucking want to know is what is going on with thier favorite band......  he owes.. he owes lots.....   

STFU!

I agree that he owes back those cities from the '02 tour, but I don't think he needs to speak up until the album is completely finished. I'm come to accept the others giving us the, albeit very ambiguous, updates. Axl hasn't changed a damn bit, and some things never change. Ironically, that's in a sense comforting.

Because all we need is just a little patience. Hmm hmm, yeah.

[*Izzy*]

But I've got "no more patience, man.... you dig, what I'm sayin"?

  Izzy?

This really sucks ass... Still no official word yet. I am so sick of hearing news about VR and reading random fan speculations and rumors. I don't think taking sites offline would do the trick... But I understand the logic because torture drives people to do dumbass things.

Fuck Merck by the way. That asshole can update anxious fans of other artists he is involved with, but he doesn't say shit besides the usual "no news yet" to GnR, I mean Axl, fans. Your beat Merck. As exciting as the news about Sanctuary was... there hasn't been a single official announcement regarding the future of CD. Only the "future" recordings bit. This is seriously agonizing. I guess I'm just not used to this horse shit since I took a break after the original band dis-banded. I can't believe some of you people have been coming here and waiting so patiently this long.

Every day I come here and see the same lame as fuck ass Axl vs. Blah, Remember When..., My GnR wetdream, VR, etc. And every day I get pissed off and say to myself, "self, you should stop checking for updates everyday, your only going to be disappointed." But I can't fucking help it and I keep coming back... I'm fucked.

My understanding is that the tour was cancelled by Clear Channel, not the band.  The reason we haven't heard anything from Axl is that he's most likely still in litigation w/CC and can't speak about it at all.

As far as being owed:

Did you get a refund for your ticket to the shows?  Then you've gotten what you're owed.
Did you exchange currency of some kind for existing Gn'R music?  Then you got what you were owed.
Have you given Axl money for the upcoming CD?  Well, THEN you might have a case.
The only way Axl owes anyone is if they personally handed him some form of currency as prepayment for Chinese Democracy...and that's Universal/Interscope/Geffen and nobody else.

Not to be a hardass or anything, but I have a hard time with anyone...from a homeless guy to a lottery winner to a CEO to my family...saying they are OWED anything they haven't already paid for.
