Splat can reveal that Guns N'Roses forthcoming album, "Chinese Democracy" was handed to Sterling Sound on 17th November, 2005 for mastering.

Senior mastering engineer, George Marino, is the man who will master "Chinese Democracy". George has mastered previous GN'R releases.
 
from the guys at splat? ?


Edit: It's not CD according to management. /jarmo

[Wooody]

it's been mastering for years now 

[Pandora]

I have a hard time believing that. It would mean it was handed over 2 months ago, and mastering doesn't take that long, just a few days.

[Cocaine__tongue]

Even Axl said the record was not done!! I also don't buy it.

U got a piont there

Anyway, just checked Sterling sound's web site and if you check George Marino's work, in the heavy metal section......a new unreleased album by gnr is listed, with this date: 2005-11-17.  Maybe he mastered "greatest hits 2" ??.

Curious at least.....

GUNS N' ROSES Bassist Hopes New Album Will Be Completed This Fall - Sep. 15, 2004
GUNS N' ROSES bassist Tommy Stinson recently told Canada's Chart Attack that the group's long-awaited new album, "Chinese Democracy" is nearing completion. "I would imagine they would start mastering it some time in October, November, somewhere in there," Stinson said. "I just wanted to make sure I got my two cents in so I couldn't look back and go, 'Dudes, what's up?' And they go, 'Dude, where were you? You didn't say anything!' So I got my two cents in on it."

And what was Stinson's two cents?

"My two cents was very much like a cent and a half," he said. "It's like, all the stuff I heard was phenomenal. I didn't get a chance to listen to all of it, because I was pressed for time. But also I wanted to hear the things I hadn't heard yet. Some of the stuff had been done a while ago and hadn't changed much; I didn't really bother with that. But I wanted to hear all the new stuff and I heard about six things that I hadn't heard finished yet, that were really mind-blowing. A few of the songs are pretty epic in length, but that's always been GN'R's thing, hasn't it? I don't think it's a particularly long album, but I think the six I heard are pretty epic. I mean they are just... fucking huge, you know [laughs]. I think pretty much all of us in the band have some songwriting credits on just about everything. The undertaking was pretty much a large collaboration between eight people, even a couple others who aren't around anymore, but maybe started with pieces of the old band or whatever. But yeah, there is probably a lot to go around with that one."

So it's being mastered again . . . if only we hadn't heard it all before 

So Axl says that there is STILL some songs not completed (god knows how there not done) and Richard went back to record more parts late last year, then how did it go in for mastering ?

Maybe it wasn't CD that was put in to be mastered in November just simple GH 2 like a few people have said.

the rumour also does?nt make sence compared to Axls recent comments at the Korn Party

[jarmo]

Maybe he's mastering one song from the album..... For a soudtrack.

Or maybe there's some finished tracks to master.

I agree. That party would have been the perfect opportunity for Axl to leak some really good news.

[Morley]

Same engineer, George Marino, is mastering a Bon Jovi record since september/05.
So, I think that time is not the big deal here.

Maybe "music not finished" means "Not mastered yet"? ?

[DizzyReed63]

Well, Mastering isn't the end of everything.
It could go through rounds and rounds of mastering. And if he has lots of pieces connected, that would explain why bandmates would have to go in and add more parts, to put things in-synch.
The album has probably been mastered before, and he just keeps messing with it, once he hears it outside of studio speakers.
But it's good news that it's in the "final" stages at least.

George Marino is the one who mastered The Use Your Illusion I and II

[GunnerRose]

26 songs of 32 are complete.
13 completed songs will be on CD
additional songs on additional album
This means CD could be complete

[WARose]

did the sp1at guys email george marino about this or did they just interpret what was written on his website???

[grabaraxl]

26 songs of 32 are complete.
13 completed songs will be on CD
additional songs on additional album
This means CD could be complete

"nearly done" isn't "complete". watch for the words. "nearly done" is Axl's time might mean 1 year to go! you never know...

[Neemo]

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, (26) thirteen are slated for the final album. Among Rose's favorites are "Better," "There Was a Time" and "The Blues."

Nearly done = not completely finished (grabaraxl beat me )

Maybe they are Mastering them that's why they are not done

maybe 2 albums of 13 songs are being mastered right now, who knows

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Pandora is right.  Mastering an album is not like mixing.  Mastering takes a few days at the most.  I'm thinking CD is done, and perhaps Axl is trying to complete the follow-up.

[erose]

Pandora is right.? Mastering an album is not like mixing.? Mastering takes a few days at the most.? I'm thinking CD is done, and perhaps Axl is trying to complete the follow-up.

i hope you're right about completing the second album!

can someone please enlighten us on the process of mastering?
