CD NOT FINISHED!!! EMAIL FROM RICHARD!!!!

[jabba2]

Dont worry Gypsy. I have a keyboard and im now applying for the prestigious 2nd keyboard position. You will never know what a true synth sounds like until you heard mine wail without caution on Welcome To The Jungle.?

[Axl4Prez2004]

Oh man!  Nobody else got a kick out of the "Captain A." reference?  I don't know, it just struck me as hilarious.  I got a visual of Axl growing out the beard ala Captain Caveman!
Either that or an inside joke amongst the fellas, Captain Asshole.  Who knows. 

[brianmoore24]

Doashk  if you dont believe its legit, ask jarmo. hes been forwarded the email and he knows its legit. as far as the spelling if you READ you will realize my name is zachary so i spell it both zack and zach at times but believe what you want and if u dont want to take my word for it ask jarmo

[Eazy E]

Doashk if you dont believe its legit, ask jarmo. hes been forwarded the email and he knows its legit.

Meh, honestly who cares if it's legit or not... it doesn't tell us anything we don't already know.  "CD isn't finished"...  We're all shocked!

[Doc Emmett Brown]

Oh man!  Nobody else got a kick out of the "Captain A." reference? 

I thought it was funny 

[brianmoore24]

Well Eazy E apparently some do care and i just dont want to be bashed and called a fake when something i post is real and legit and even jarmo believes it to be.
i mean yeah CDs not finished oh well not mind blowing news but its news to some. also it may be news to some that the band is indeed still intact and? basically my feelings are i dont want to be bashed when people dont believe the truth

[killingvector]

Wow, it may very well be true that Slash and Duff are delaying Chinese Democracy. Damnit

[jarmo]

Well Eazy E apparently some do care and i just dont want to be bashed and called a fake when something i post is real and legit and even jarmo believes it to be.

I did get an e-mail forwarded to me (without the headers though) and Richard does answer e-mails, so it's possible he wrote that. But this is the world of GN'R, you can never really be 100% sure....

WoW
Hey this is good news for me,  ya' know, comin' from Richard and letting us know the others r' all still there!!
n' that he cant wait for us to have it is good enough for me!!!!                         for now

estranged33, I think there has been news and "chatter" these past few days because GNR(or those close to GNR) felt the need to let people know a little early that this is not the year. I'm surprised at how little attention this thread is getting. Apparently there's alot of people here in a huge state of denial. This is the first real news we've had all year. People are all over that lawsuit thread, and thats just 'more of the same'. Richard has the balls to let the cat out of the bag, and nobody gives a fuck. Strange.

Out of anything said over the past few days, point out somewhere that someone has said, sorry 2005 is not the year. Certainly not in anything I've read. I'm not saying '05 will or will not be the year CD is going to come out, but it's unfair to jump to baseless conclusions.

[Litti10]

I agree with Richard cuz if a record takes this long to put together i would too make sure its perfect so the time spend on it wouldnt go to waste. I'm just conserned about the fact that do the people who organize those tours have the fait to put money on that band cuz they never know if there will be cancelled shows agen as i read somewhere that those tours doesnt come cheap and they require, least the 2002 tour required year n a half of planning before they could do it

James mate, no one knows if the album is coming out this year or next or whenever, apart from Axl and those closest to him! We dont know if this e-mail from Richard is even fucking legit! I for one do not believe for a second that Richard would e-mail somebody with that sort of info, when the whole process of Chinese Democracy has been shrouded in such secrecy! Not a fucking chance! I havent given this thread that much attention purely because we dont know if its official! Can you imagine Axl letting Richard e-mail some random dude to tell him that the album that is so secret is not finished? Yeh right!!! In my opinion, the chatter that has come about in the last few days is because something is about to happen!

well i don`t think it`s impossible for richard to say that chinese democracy isn`t finished yet. all members said that countless times and it`s quite obvious... i mean everyone could say it.

Hi Zack,
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. Man, wish i could give
you more answers. ChiDem is not completely finished.? However, it is
close.? Trust me, I can't wait for you to have the cd in your hands
either!? It will be worth the wait.? Yes, i am still a member of Gn'R
(as are Tommy, Brain, Robin, Diz and Capt.A).? We can't wait to get
back out on the road, but we've put so much time in to this record, we
really want it to be perfect.
thanks for your continued support.
richard

i know this is my first post but i am now wondering why it isnt finished?? if 05 is the year it should be done! well at least they're all still together

Even if that's true that not news at all. This fucking CD has been "Close to being finished" for 6 fucking years. Basically it means it's no closer to being released than it was in fucking 2002. Wanker.

[PhillyRiot]

The old GNR seemed to be able to release great songs a lot faster.  Hmm.......

Yeah everyone could say it but this time Richard says it for the first time.
As I said earlier, when it comes to CD His answer has been stereotyped as "It(CD)'s done" like, since...2000? 
Tell me if anyone heard another version from him before.
If not, It seems that things are moving anew.
I hope this mail is legit. I'd take it as a good Omen.

Yeah, his not mentioning Chris is a worrying bit.
Capt. A might have found a new synthe wizard to make another extra step.

When CD is in the stores, I`m not sure I`ll believe it then! I`m so used to waiting for it!

You mean you don't believe your own eyes anymore?

i think we hadn`t the change to see if our eyes are still working for a long time now...

and chris pittman...   he was just a useless guy for touring. some kind of replacement for teddy zigzag bigbag andreadis. hopefully we won`t see him again. i mean at the moment i`d be happy to see him on stage with gnr...

and yeah ppbebe richard always said it`s finished since`04                   (or whenever) and now he says it`s not finished. hopefully it`s a good sign. splat said in their newest article that axl was seen driving to a studio, but since it`s coming from splat....  i think there`s definitely something going on in the gnr camp, but we`ll see...

[Thorazine Shuffle]

In Chris defense, he could be very valuable to the recording and touring process IF CD will be released.
