Perhaps Sanctuary is wanting CD to be released in the first quarter of 06.  Hell 05 is already a loss, might as well start planning for next year.

If they are then they are stupider than we all thought. I for one wouldn't bet a cup of coffee on them doing anything.

While it probably wasn't a deciding factor I'm sure the obscene amounts of money that have been thrown at this album didn't help the label's financial situation one bit.

Chinese Democracy isn't going to do the out of this earth, record shattering numbers that everyone seems to think it will. I will gladly eat my hat if Guns n Roses can release an album and single handedly pull it's record label from Chapter 11.

Why would that be stupid? NOTHING is gonna bring Sanctuary out of the gutter this year.  Write off the losses for 05 and start fresh in 06. It's Economics 101.

I'm just saying that betting the future of your company on the release of an album that for all intents and purposes doesn't exist (and don't argue me on this, an album not on the shelves moving units doesn't exist to any record company) isn't the smartest move ever. They need a sure thing, and if my history books are correct, GnR is far from a sure thing. You're talking about an album that has been in the final stages since around 2002, and has consistently failed to be delivered year in and year out.

Who's to say that Axl isn't going to turn around and go 'well, fuck...you don't have any money, how do you plan on promoting my album?', take his album and go back into hiding? And don't say that it couldn't happen, because anyone who knows anything about our man Axl knows that he can be a hair difficult to work with.

Sanc. isn't the label, they are the publisher.

Sanc. isn't the label, they are the publisher.

And management.

Chinese Democracy would help Sanctuary.

Though, I'm not sure if anything can save this company.

So who would manage GNR then?

 

[michaelvincent]

Either way...management with no money isn't going to get a whole lot done.
