AXL SPEAKS!!!

[Smoking Guns]

Chinesblues, Slash was originally on This I Love.  I hope he still is.

[killingvector]

...so Slash was right...he knew something...

uh hello, Axl never said the album was coming in march. So slash was wrong

come on, nobody believes it's coming in march...the album is not even redy yet, Axl said it himself...
but it's coming!

Some music is coming; he didn't say the album was coming.

I predict a soundtrack song, like dave said. An appetizer to tide us over.

[Smoking Guns]

Oh shit, disregard what I said. ?I got TWAT and This I Love mixed up. ?Disregard my previous post.

[Chief]

we didn't get that many details so we dont know how close it is to being done. i had a feeling it was very close over the last few months and i think they just have a little bit more left to do.
i'm just happy he came out to a party and told us a little bit about what's going on.
i always figured we wouldn't know anything concrete (dates, etc) until it was completely finished and ready for mass distribution!
wooo hoo!!

[MATT-A-REAL-FAN]

 YOOOOOO!!!

 Halle-fuckin'-lujah!!!! ?Man,this is awesome!! We're "gonna hear music this year"!! ?

 I was excited just to see him in those pics from the party. Now this!!! Hell yeah!! ?

 It was soooo cool to hear him talk nice about Slash,wasn't it? And he's been talkin' to Izzy

 too! Gotta love this guy! I agree,I couldn't care less about a reunion,it's just great to hear

 him compliment Slash and not say anything negative.

 It's for real this time. I don't think we'll see a reunion any time soon

 but,we will have Chinese Fuckin' Democracy in our motherfuckin' hands!! ?

  ?: ?ok: ?

 I agree,our wait is coming to a close...............

 ? ?GNR FOREVER!!

 ? ? ? MATT

[MATT-A-REAL-FAN]

I like the way he's approaching the final analysis, the line "But you'll like at least a few songs on there." speaks volumes to me.

Seems as though he's not trying to change the world or seeking universal acceptance.

Yeah, I agree. Or the part where he says "I'm trying to do something different. Some of the arrangements are kind of like Queen. Some people are going to say, 'It doesn't sound like Axl Rose, it doesn't sound like Guns n' Roses.'"

I think he knows there will be a backlash from those wanting another PC, SCOM or YCMB. I think CD will be an arty album and he is letting people know that now.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I wonder if it's gonna be a double release like the Illusions, or he's gonna release it bit by bit. ?It would make more sense to do a double, cuz all the pieces to the puzzle will fit. ?And imagine, Axl, the only artist EVER to do a double release twice, wouldn't that be something.

[horsey]

things are looking for the better this year.

[RichardNixon]

He could do what SOAD did and release two albums, several months apart.

[Grouse]

It's good to hear from the guy I really liked the things he said about slash and Izzy


And would you look at the people who are viewing this topic! there are so many lol, it's insane

[NickNasty]

"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."

 My guess is he probably (hopefully) has his A-listed tracks down that will be on CD and the others might be for the next release---you heard it from the horses' mouth folks- we'll hear something this year! My God!

[Sukie]

Oh my god! ?Seems like that's everyone's reaction. ?

One question: ?"Of those, thirteen are slated for the final album. " ?Does this mean the final album of the previously planned three? ?Or what? ?Anyone?

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Yeah that would be cool cuz i just re-read the article, and only 13 will be on CD. ?what bothers me is that he said 26 songs were NEARLY done. ?I hope Axl has revised his lexicon.

[Smoking Guns]

Newbies about to be coming out of the woodwork. ?Release in 06 with current lineup, release in 07 to commemorate the 20th anniversy of Appetite for Destruction with the original line up...................BRILLIANT!!!!!!

[damnthehaters]

This is great news but it doesn't mean that an album will be out anytime soon. ?I personally think it's awesome that we atleast heard from him, but don't expect an album in the next few months. ?When he says that we will "HEAR MUSIC THIS YEAR", that could mean anything. ?It could mean a song on a soundtrack, or GNR playing new music live. ?This doesn't suggest anything about Chinese Democracy, but it is good that we heard from him and he complimented Slash. ?

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Axl showed us that he's matured a lot over the past 3 years.  Kudos to you Axl.   It's great he's saying nice things about his old mates.

[RnT]

Now we know in what stage the album are, how many song will be on the record and if this year will be as "empty" as the 2004,2003,2002... ( I guess not, because of the "you will hear music this year" )

that?s all we ALWAYS wanted him to do.... was that hard King Rose?!
 

[Cornell]

Most promising news in YEARS! ?Maybe I won't be dead before CD comes out! ?

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

I'm trying to figure out the math here...32 songs, 26 nearly complete, and 13 will go on the final album. ?Why only 13? ? Does that leave 19 songs for a subsequent album or possibly some of these songs will never be released? ?

My prediction is a Davinci Code release this summer, followed by a festival or two, then the album release come November which will be followed by a world tour starting in the spring of 2007.
