well the statement has always been, we'll announce it when there is something to announce.   i would guess that means that, if there is substance to multiple festivals, with CD being thrown in somewhere, that we'll get an announcemnet soon

[gav]

Maybe now an album release confirmation.? PLEASE GOD PLEASE? ?

Big Boss (Sp1at) says we'll get one in the next few days

I've had a quick look at the site and couldn't see this info. Could you point it out??

Guys, buckle in, because the rumors are going to start flying fast / furious, I think.? (And no, I dont think this is a rumor - but the signal to noise ratio is about to ramp up)

The next 24-48 hours is going to be a fucking roller coaster ride.? But hey, those are always fun

its in Italian.  Newsletter from the show, itself.  I've also copy / pasted BigBoss from sp1at's comments as a partial translation.  (Note, this Newsletter did go out, as I got my copy in my inbox about 20 mins ago or so.)

he Gods of Metal organisers have just officially announced that Guns N'Roses will close the festival on the 4th June 2006.

Rather interestingly, they have also added that a GN'R Greatest Hits album will be out in March, and Chinese Democracy will be out in May. In Italian, here is the newsletter;

GUNS N' ROSES al GODS OF METAL 2006!!!!!!!!

... e poi KORN, DEFTONES, MOTORHEAD !!!

L'attesa ? stata lunga, ma crediamo che ne sia valsa la pena perch? per l'edizione del decennale Gods Of Metal raddoppia. La prima novit? infatti riguarda la durata del festival che sar? di quattro giorni, e non pi? due. Si svolger? il prossimo 1, 2, 3, 4 Giugno.

La seconda novit? sar? la location: si torna a Milano. La cornice sar? quella dell'Idroscalo.

La notizia pi? attesa, quella che da ormai tredici anni tutti aspettiamo, riguarda il ritorno in grande stile dei GUNS N' ROSES che chiuderanno il festival domenica 4 Giugno. Axl Rose si ? finalmente deciso: il nuovo attesissimo "Chinese Democracy" sar? nei negozi a maggio, e la band intraprender? un lungo tour mondiale che avr? la sua unica tappa italiana al Gods Of Metal 2006. L'album sar? preceduto da un "greatest hits" in uscita a Marzo. GUNS N' ROSES saranno headliners in tutti i maggiori festival europei, compreso il Download in Inghilterra, Nova Rock in Austria, il Rock in Rio di Lisbona ed il fatto che abbiano deciso di esibirsi al Gods per il loro ritorno sulle scene ci rende particolarmente orgogliosi.

Arrivano inoltre le conferme ufficiali anche per KORN, DEFTONES e MOTORHEAD.

GODS OF METAL 2006 avr? una durata di 4 giorni, dal 1 al 4 Giugno. Si tratter? di un totale di 40 bands (10 al giorno).
