Can we blame AXL???

He signed that contract because most of the money deals with the BACK catalogue.

....But also for "newly recorded material"

[jameslofton29]

Yeah, thats true. But there's more money to be made in the back catalogue, for obvious reasons. Even if CD is a good success story, I doubt that they can make as much money as past albums because "new" GNR isn't likely to do as many albums as "old" GNR.

? Seriously, think about it.? You're kicked out of your house at the age of 16, so you go to California to follow your dream of making it big.? You slum it for awhile just scraping by, when all of a sudden at the age of 25 your album sky-rockets to the top of the charts.? Another album released ensures this is no 1-album wonder...the big time sets in at the age of 26.? You do some touring, living the high life, great women, great whatever, and at the age of 29 the UYI's are released, even MORE touring, and MORE money.? You are now a multi-millionaire at the age of 30.? You release TSI to appease the record company at the age of 32...then...from the age of 32 to 40...almost nothing.? Why tour???
? I guess what I'm saying is that there are alot of people who would pretty much quit their job if they won the lottery.? In a way, I feel like Axl's done that.? He's been puttering around the house like an old retired guy...starting a project here and there, but not really following through on anything.
? This is not a hate thread.? I am 31 years old, and I'm trying to imagine what it would take for me to pretty much leave my profession for 11 years starting at the age of 32.? It boggles the mind.? Can anyone here picture doing something similar??? I wish Axl the best.?
? This wait is making me go crazy.

He makes it pretty hard to blame anyone else....

Can we blame Axl?

Yes.

[Axl4Prez2004]

Wow, since I've made this post, the news doesn't make it easy to defend Axl.  It's almost as if Axl wants everyone to hate him.  I'm baffled by this whole thing.  On the spectrum from Axl loyalist to Slush and Daff loyalist, I'd consider myself on the Axl side...every day that goes by without a word from Axl's mansion makes it tougher to justify though.  Now with more legal wranglings underway, we'll hear even less.  Oh well, S.O.S. Axl...
Same Old Shit.

Yeah, and dont expect things to change anytime 'soon'. Also, some major shit's gonna hit the fan as people now find out that 2005 isn't the year.

Good point, perhaps if CD is a overwhelming success story Axl will make a larger percent of the royalties from Sanctuary's percentage of interest.

Its all bullshit, Chinese democracy will never see the light of day. If we have waited this long already, there is no chance of it happening. Odds are that an original line up reunion will happen before Cd will ever be released. I honestly believe that CD no longer exists, Axl once said that he almost bought the November rain video off the record label before its release so that it would never be seen but he couldnt afford it, It is possible that he bought CD from them before its release for unknown reasons.......... fuck this im going to bed.

Axl is a very self centered selfish person.  No two ways about it.  He will do what he wants - when he wants. Otherwise we would still have Slash, Izzy, Axl, Duff and Matt together - one big happy family...  But then agian - we wouldn't have Velvet Revolver, Slash's Snakepit, Blues Ball etc etc.  So maybe Axl is doing us all a Favour??
