What has Axl actually said?

[jbenzz]

I'm kinda getting tired of all this speculation on what's going on with the band and everyone seems to have a very different opinion on what has been said by the band and management about the album, tour, etc.  It seems that the only person that has any clue what is planned for the band is Axl, so why don't we compile everything that Axl has said (with quotes and references) in the hope that we clear up the (IMO) misconceptions about the release of the album.

Sorry if this has been done before....

^good idea, but I'll let you do all the research

"People will hear music this year"

---

"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.'" He then smiles and adds, "But you'll like at least a few songs on there."

---

"We're working on thirty-two songs, and twenty-six are nearly done,"

---

"Every time there's a big festival announced, we get rumored to be on there," he says. "But we'll see what happens."

These are the exact things that I don't want...
Axl has never said any of this stuff.  Things like You'll have CD in the next 4 months are often attributed to Axl and the media especially loves to say that Axl has been promising CD for years and I'm pretty sure the last time he gave a release date was before 1999 (I could be wrong though).

If im honest i dont think this guy was directly quoting Axl as saying 'Axl likes sports cars, Axl does not like leaked tracks'

Yes, I did go off topic, I apologize. I also do know that Axl likes hot chicks as well.

Yep, about the same time there was an original album released by GNR. Coincidence? I think not.

Wow! You have all the insider information, don't you?

[A Private Eye]

I definately read a quote on this board either yesterday or the day before from Merck saying something very similar to 'Axl hopes to have the album out by the end of the year' IIRC it seemed reasonably official. Sorry there's no link I can't find the thread now.

That's the problem with most of these rumors.  Someone says they heard Merck say this or Dizzy said that and they assume that is the band's official position.  I don't trust Merck at all, because it's his job to deflect attention off of Axl till the album is ready and he'll do what he has to so that he can do that.  But at least he's not as bad as whatever his name is that booked the European tour without Axl knowing.  The only useful information that we have right now is that they are playing dates (which we don't really have 100% confirmed by a press release) and a couple comments from Axl that Jarmo basically summed up.  That's it as far as I can tell.  Even if we look at what Sanctuary has said officially, there isn't much there.

I agree but as I only read this a day or 2 ago and is 'supposedly' from Axls manager I thought I'd post it, but it did seem like an official quote. Anybody else see this?
