-- Finally, this story about the potential release of Chinese Democracy by Guns ?N? Roses should remind you that anything said by Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash should probably be taken with a full-blown salt lick, never mind the grain. March? Really? My opinion: closer to March 2018.

Then you should disconnected yourself from GNR. Sleep in your coffin and don't wait.
Why are you still in this forum anyway...

That's two fucking albums. After all the talk of "there is no album" and "He can't finish a song"

Great point. That is actually the best thing to come out of this Axl sighting. It finally nails the coffin shut on the 'album doesn't exist' theory and the 'two songs finished' theory. With those theories now buried, I think you will see more positive thinking around here in concern to CD. There was always that thought in the back of peoples' minds that it could be a fraud/hoax/ joke, and that fog surrounding CD has now been lifted.

led zep stretched out musically as they got older..... after led zep IV the music was a bit more complex as well.  i cant wait to hear it.  also it does seem like the original line up will someday be back... axl needs to release this music first.  it's cool to hear them talking nicely about each other again.  So cool Axl and Izzy are

[ppbebe]

The W8 is over!  almost.
Hey ppl, don't be halfassed!
Let's support the band 100%!!!

Im not gonna read 15 pages!!

Me either.

And don't forget to give us the beer when the time comes.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

THANKYOU for telling me about this thread!  I love you.

I am so freaking pumped now 

No problem i didnt saw you looged in
Its great that he talked with Izzy at least that would mean that Axl can appear as guest in a Izzy album or I dont know lets just stick on Axl talkin to the press. 
beautiful day Indeed

I never forget a promise     

[highend88]

what does he mean by''Some of the arrangements are kind of like Queen''.

 Operatic orchestrations-think "The Prophet Song" from Queen's 'Night at the Opera' which included some weird harmonizing and use of bizzare instrumentation. That's my guess.

'Prostitute' is likely to feature as one of the strongest tracks on the
new Guns n'roses album. Although the roots of the song go back to the late
1990's, the meat of the song was actually only recorded in the last
two-three years. Paul Buckmaster who did orchestration for the song told
us "Prostitute is a mid-up, kind of biting, aggressive rhythm section; the
way I wrote for the string section (32-piece, consisting of ten 1st Violins,
eight 2nd Violins, six violas, and eight cellos) gives the song another
dimension of, ice and fire, kind of powerful". Buckmaster also told us
that 'Prostitute' was a 3-5 minute song

'TWAT', an acronym for 'There Was a Time', so is likely to feature on the new album. The song itself features orchestration by Paul Buckmaster.

Taken from sp1at last year.

Only read my posts in the thread. That should keep you well informed!

And soon Axl, Izzy, Duff and Slash will collaborate and create GNR 2 

[Bridge]

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

Haha, yeah, we may hear music this year, but Axl didn't say it would be his.? ?? Always gotta watch the wording when it comes to Axl.

Remember in 2001 when he said the album would be out in June?? Everyone assumed June 2001 but Axl never said what year.? ?

That's two fucking albums. After all the talk of "there is no album" and "He can't finish a song"

BTW, when you say "26 are almost done", usually means you've completed a load and you've got some finishing touches on a few more to do.

Meh, whatever.  An album isn't COMPLETE until it's released in stores.  Anything can happen before that time.  A few years ago we kept hearing that Axl had 70 songs done, and that was all bullshit.  Now we hear 26.  Four years from now, it could be 30.  Take it with a grain of salt, like everything else Axl says.

[madagas]

 Bridge, wrong-wrong-wrong. Axl NEVER EVER EVER EVER said he had 70 songs done. Don't exaggerate. He said they were working on 70 songs which means they were ideas at that stage. Now, it is 32 which is good-26 nearly done (two albums already-but "nearly" is a little alarming!). He is beginning to focus on what he wants to release.

[GnR-NOW]

besides these can be a completely different 32 songs hes working on, i mean we dont know what version of the blues is going to come out, and we ve known the song name of there was a time, but we never heard it so who knows how many variations he has or worked on.
 
oh and not to bash axl, i think its great he broke his silence, but to say hes like an average guy is a bit of stretch, i mean average guys dont buy the cars he has lol, but that has nothing to do with him releasing CD

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Damn!  Just got into work and saw this thread.  This thread has made my month.  2006!!!

[Lord Kayoss]

YES! Finally!!!

Things should start rolling sooooon!

"People will hear music this year" could mean anything. ?It's only January. ?It could be December before anything happens. ?Or worse, at the end of the year either nothing will be said or we might get a press release concerning events slated for '07. ?

While I'm glad Axl has spoken, don't get too jazzed up just yet. ?This year is a long way from over. ?And things change in the GN'R camp seemingly at the drop of a dime.

[madagas]

does the "nearly" done not alarm anybody?

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Yep as someone said before time for axl is different than the time for us...

[joaoalberto]

Axl appears and speaks on the friday 13th...
about 13 songs...
that took 13 years....
and 13 millions...

for the supersticious ( not my case) 13 is a good luck number...

by the way is good to hear the news from Latigo Canyon...

[jameslofton29]

does the "nearly" done not alarm anybody?

No, not really. His whole vibe concerning CD seems to have matured. He could have said something much worse than 'nearly done'(soon still isnt the word, it'll be ready when its ready, I'm not concerned with that right now,etc.). It was very interesting how he actually said how many songs would be on CD, and also naming a song title we hadn't heard before. Those comments were obviously aimed towards us, because the general public doesn't give a fuck about how many songs are on CD, or what he thinks about Izzy and Slash.

[Anguro]

Axl.... Axl..... you made my day........... my week.... my month.... my year................ and with your music, you've made my fucking life..............

Gn'R forever, man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

[ppbebe]

james today, finally you sound realistic to me.

YES! Finally!!!

Things should start rolling sooooon!

While I'm glad Axl has spoken, don't get too jazzed up just yet.  This year is a long way from over.  And things change in the GN'R camp seemingly at the drop of a dime.

Nytunz's no different than usual. So am I. we're our natural selves.
