AXL SPEAKS!!!

[metallex78]

I think everytime Axl makes a statement to the press, it's true to what he believes at the time, but he is no way gonna rush to release this album to please someone else, he'll release it when HE wants to, and that could be another 10 years away, who knows???

[dolphin]

I guess that 3 album theory was bullshit after all eh?

Well that came straight from Axl's outh didn't it? I guess his plans changed...

After all, before he lends his talents to others' projects, Rose has one of his own to finish, and he says it's getting there. "We're working on thirty-two songs, and twenty-six are nearly done," he says. Of those, thirteen are slated for the final album. Among Rose's favorites are "Better," "There Was a Time" and "The Blues."


sounds like 3 albums to me...or at least 2.

why have 32 songs with 26 done only to have 13 on one album


or unless CD is 2 discs with the remainder of songs on a follow up album?

[AxlFink]

getting chinese democracy will be like fucking a hot chic that you've been in the friend zone with for a bunch of years!!!!! nothing will be better!  GnR fans will still want to keep fuckin her! 

[GnR-NOW]

i would like to see CD come out sometime between April and June, I think it would be awesome to have it for the summer. ?Hopefully it ll have a good mix of rock and ballads on it. I just hope Axl is taking is comments seriously and CD actually happens this year

For some reason, I hope that the album title has changed.

Me too. I think there is a good chance that when CD comes out, it won't be called that anymore.

[Genesis]

"People will hear music this year"
I think that sez it all.

What makes you think that?  There could easily still be 3 albums.

At this point in time I'd settle for a 5 song ep.

Just an aside, how much different would Axl's comment have been if he had said, "People will hear THE music this year. " I think this comment would have convinced me that 2006 was the year for the album.

[axlsalinger]

Awesome news. On the 2002 tour, he seemed defensive about CD, when asked if it was coming out soon he said "Soon is not the word", then there was that radio interview in Tacoma or Seattle when he was asked about the album and immediately changed the subject.

Here, he sounds much more positive. We have been burned so many times that I will reserve my judgment until I hear more, but for now it's just nice to finally hear from Uncle Axl again.

"We're working on thirty-two songs, and twenty-six are nearly done," he says. Of those, thirteen are slated for the final album.

I take this to mean he will release Chinese Democracy with 13 songs, then another album within a year after (as someone mentioned earlier, a little like Load and Reload, except with good songs). The rest can either be saved for a 3rd album, used as B-sides or scrapped.

[grog mug]

WOW!! This makes me wanna come back and post away!  Great news...reminds me of the Rio letter he released.  This is the FIRST time Axl has actually said we'll hear music, but still no sign of a release date.  If it does come I'm thinking summer after a few dates in Europe...COME BACK to the U.S Axl...damn man!

[younggunner]

I'll just be glad to be able to go buy it , hear it and have this all OVER with , cause never again will I put as much into waiting for an album of music like I did this one. Constant trolling of GNR boards at all hours of the day for any tidbit of info , the work you put into trying to convince people the new band are cool and the material will be strong and axl still "has it" ... it's really comical when you stop and think about it.

and that my friend is why all of us th epeopel who have been here for quite some time, believing and riding this roller coaster will be in pure joy on the day we have that album in our hands. It will be totally unmatched.,,,

Does this mean that Axl reads the internet?


He visits this sight, I know it!!!!!!!

I think he asnwered that question in his last press release....he mtions the "support group"...to me hes talking about us the die hards....who ask any1 and every1 in connection tot eh band about the album, etc

I agree with that statement.  I don't think he has ever intended to mislead his fans (although one can certainly argue that he's never lead us).

Have any of u actually went to www.rollingstone.com?


DO U SEE HOW FUCKIN HUGE THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS?


Tell me Axl has been forgotten YEAH RIGHT!


I was expecting a little title in the corner or something and in fuckin blinking lights u see "AXL BREAKS HIS SILENCE"

GNR will be the biggest band again watch and see.

[SLCPUNK]

After the 2002 tour (half empty arenas) do you really believe this will be the case?  Yes it is big news, but they already toured with this lineup and it had disaterous results.  Yes I know Buckethead is gone now. 

[GypsySoul]

IMO this article shows that those creative writing classes Mr Baltin took really paid off.

All I got out of it is that it appears Axl confirmed that there will be a GNR song on that movie soundtrack.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Damn D, thats BIG!  It goes to show you that legends never die.
