What will be the 'tone' of the next statement?

[jimmythegent]

Lets for a minute consider that an announcment of some kind is coming soon. (I'm thinking any week now)

Given some of the previous 'announcments', do you think that Axl will be the guy who'll announce the release or would it be a better idea to leave it to the record company? I'd say there'll no doubt be more popshots at ex-members, i wonder how far he'll/they'll go?

Are we going to get a 'straight' infromative announcment, or are we in for another serving of 'dive in and find the monkey', 'burning hills' and/or bizarre, overly self-conscious ramblings?

As always, I'm really looking forward to it. I find Axls media releases fascinating.

I don't think there will be an announcement until after the November trial.  Depending on the outcome, it should at least be hopeful.

I say we should hear something around late November of a mid 2006 release,  only because there's way to much happening in the world today, that's just my opinion..

[erose]

so you think the hurricane is setting back CD?

i doubht it, bad shit happens in the world every day every year...

I guarantee that the suit affects the licensing deal with Sanctuary which covered the publishing for the old and new catalog. I would bet that those legal issues would need to be ironed out before the album would proceed.

Something to the effect of "Chris Pittman has left the building"? I hope not. It'll be... "Well, the album is still being mixed and we've finally got the art work and...." The same thing we've got from Stinson and Mantia. I figure the next Merck or Axl statement will be a regurgatation of what we've already heard.

yes it is now the hurricane's fault for the delay of cd.... I can't imagine the tone of the announcement if there ever is one..

I'm at a point of such disbelief that I can't imagine axl ever making a statement with a set date for this album...

I see a lot more dizzy tommy brain not knowing what is going on before anything offical comes out

The next statement will be along the lines of............

Axl-----

I was not aware that i was supposed to be making a new Record, management did not inform me that i have a new band and that we did a tour under the banner of `chinese democracy`. There are no new recording that i am aware of and how come the band i play with has a new lead singer and goes under the name of `VR` .................and an even bigger point is.................how come the dates on my computer and newspaper says its 2005! where the fuck have i been for the last 10 years!!!???

I can see the next statement being the people who footed the bill suing his ass to get this album out...

wow such postivity from someone known for their cheerful outlet on all things GnR. 

[jimmythegent]

I have a feeling we're all in for another serving of "burning hills/dive in and find the monkey' style ramblings personally

[rainX]

I don't think there will be a statement anytime soon, and i also don't think we have even one concrete proveable reason to believe there's a chance it will happen soon.

lawyers speak at trials....Axl can move forward all he wants to - this will not be a reason.. this isn't the OJ case - he won't be called to give testimony - null factor at best

[Luigi]

   that's the tone of anything happening soon.

please live in reality something has to give eventually.. Someone needs to make money on this album after a great amount of money was put into it.. What do you people know me about 2 years?? You people know nothing about me as a gnr fan from the start.. People are way to optomistic, any other band doing this would be persicuted by gnr  fans

Was it not Zak wylde who said that he wished axl would stop thinking he was a lawyer and start being a rockstar again? I think there wont be a annoucment till all this shit with slash and duff blows over which could be years off.

he said something like that, i forget really.. I really feel for the guys in the band, they must had though there would be a career with axl and be able to create killer music and be able to support it by touring and being  a band... Must be tought to be apart of something so big but never be able to let your music be heard..

In november... About RIR5 and hopefully a release date...
