No hope for 2005?

[Spirit]

I mean, since Richard now has added the new dates with Nena...

It was speculated during the summer that if Richard decided to do the November/December dates, it would not be likely to see Chinese Democracy this year.

I think it will come out in dec for xmas presents hehe...then axl will spend jan feb march resolving lawsuits and by may, he will kick off the tour and old n new fans will know all the new songs and will go to watch the performance excitedly in the millions hehe...

Well, I really don't know how things work, but if CD is to be released in 2005, how long would it take for them to start touring. I mean, could there be a chance of this happening, and the band start rehearsing in January?

[chineseblues]

Chinese Democracy is more likely to be released early next year (between Jan and May) then by the end of this year I think.

[nesquick]

I think (and hope) we will have the record by the time of Rock in rio 5.

I wouldn't say that your idea is more likely but CD won't come out this year for sure. Only some reality-free persons believed in a late 2005 release after the summer.

[MeanBone]

let it be, we'll be having the same discussion next year this time around...

[pilferk]

Little hope, I think, for a '05 release....very little.

Its not happening this year. I'm surprised that there's still a few people who believe it is. There's always the possibility of some sort of an announcement this year. But there is a zero percent chance of the album's release this year.

The way a record company likes to do something, for example a single, is start issuing promotional versions 6 weeks before it hits the shops. As this is 19th of October, there are 6 weeks until the end of november and other 4 weeks then in december. !0 weeks, even if they dont start pushing promos for single in 2 weeks, there is still time for both. They wouldnt want, to much of a gap between both.

It is highly unlikely, but at least there is a miniscule chance.

Before anyone doubts my time scale, i know this having dealt with record companies on a personal and professional basis.

Nesquick, please drop the fuckin Rock in Rio bullshit, it's old and tiring. It is one concert out of a million possibilities. The only semi official thing we have is Tommy's statement, and we all know how reliable his statements are. We simply know jack shit. Also, please don't tell me that if it isn't released next year, then it is over. It is already over and has been over to the record buying public since 2003. Nobody cares anymore because the new band is simply 100% completely irrelevant to the music industry in 2005. That is a simple fact. They will become a force again when Axl decides to let go. Until then, he is a relic from the past......

Well, of all the concerts/festivals next year I would say that Rock in Rio 5 is one of the more likely ones we'll see Guns N' Roses... I mean the 'launching' of UYI at RIR 2, the comeback at RIR 3 and they were scheduled at RIR 4..

[madagas]

and at this time next year we will be hoping for Rock in Rio in 2007. The launching pad is near...

and it this time next year we will be hoping for Rock in Rio in 2007. The launching pad is near...

Well.. there shouldn't be anything wrong about being optimistic!

[Luigi]

I suppose were just a bunch of fishermen waiting for the big one (Axl) to come to the surface

[jameslofton29]

Axl's waiting for the olympics in Beijing 2008! He will perform 'Jungle at the opening ceremony, and will close the olympics with Paradise City! A rehashed AFD in China starts in 2008!

[jameslofton29]

Luigi, you're absolutely right. But what you dont realize is that we're fishing in a bathtub!

[Luigi]

lol, yea! your right james and I feel like I'm stuck here with a string tide to my finger (In the dark)

I wasnt hopeful of a 2005 release (although it would be a fucking amazing end to the year for us Guns fans). What I was hopeful of in 2005 and still am is the announcement of an official release date. These silly little things like "Richard adding more nena dates" I cant understand why they are relavent. They surely dont need all the band present to make an annoucement and even if they did I'm sure he would just pull the plug on the German bird and fly back to the nest!

[darknemus]

I still say March 29, 2006.  We'll see.  I doubt we'll see it this year.  Maybe a single announcment previous to the end of the year, but we probably wouldn't hear the track itself until January or possibly early February.

Keep in mind, this is all pure speculation on my part.. time will tell.
