Has Axl stopped working?

[Mattman]

Seriously, how long has it been since we've had even the tiniest bit of real news regarding Chinese Democracy?  Even back in the 90s, Axl would occasionally surface with some new recordings or something.  It's been so long since the band actually did anything, and 2005 looks like another year to be written off...I wonder if Axl is even still doing ANY work on the new album.  I mean, you'd think by this point, even if he was working on those songs all the time...wouldn't he get bored after spending 12 years working on the same bunch of songs?

I do hope so.

he said he could work on the lyrics like forever or something along those lines.

[coldenim]

yeah well hopefully he has had enough time to put down lyrics as good as coma.

[busngabb]

He hasn't worked since about 2000 I don't think.

Personally I'm starting to believe he's put himself in a cryogenic freezing tub so his genius can be released upon a more deserving generation.

Another interesting theory I have heard from a friend is the one about how people see time. People who have an regimented daily and weekly routine like working 9-5 and getting the kids ready for school and picking them up etc see time in a very different way to people who are not tied to any specific daily routine.

I believe it was he could write poetry until he was blue in the face

Cheers. Guess I'm a bit lazy lately. 

BTW, your (wrong) version is the best, I think.

We do know that the band members have not worked on the album in quite some time. When was the last time richard or dizzy were reporting working like late 2003. So maybe axl is working on vocals still? maybe he is adding the layers of studio gloss like he did to the illusions (extra sound effects, keyboards, layers of back up vocals)

I think he probably works in tangents. Loves it, leaves it, comes back and hates... repeats the cycle.

Maybe he's just bored of music and decided that life is more fun spending millions of dollars and annoying his former fans

After all he has his place in history and his diamond album - what more is there to do?

I would suspect the creative end of the album is probably done; He still maybe recording songs as a distraction from other unpleasantries in his life. Things will pick up in three weeks.

to please n amaze the present GNR fans as well as the future fans.

hes gotta release that shit soon... my boys gettin kinda old(er)

 I was told by a journalist that no major work has been done on the album since 2002. I believe it, but I've been told by a few people that it isn't true. I guess there's really no way to prove whether its true or not. The journalist heard it from someone in the GNR camp, but that person could have been lying to him I guess.

some say I'm lazy, others  say its just me.

[Litti10]

Just because you dont hear about it it dont mean they ar not workin on it. just wait n' see<<<<<<<<<<<<

[mikegiuliana]

axl works

Axl's christmas holiday started a few weeks back. so he should resume the work on the album around march-april sometime...depends on the mood.

An artist is a slave to his own mind, he never escapes the feelings and the need to create. If your an Artist and your unproductive for to long you've got to answer to the pulse of gilt. I'm sure Axl has not stopped working. In some fucked up way I think if the lawsuit isn't settled were in for a long wait and we need to support Axl on this issue. Find out the next court date in November. There out ta get Axl. He needs our support, be positive.
