Album to be released next month?

[ckniker]

According to a World Entertainment News Network story that was posted on a Clear Channel radio station in Battle Creek, MI the new GNR album is slated to drop next month.? After going to a few different Clear Channel affiliates it appears that they use this London based news wire for content.? If Clear Channel is contracting with this company for news it must have some level of credibility.?

This is just speculation on my part but perhaps the GNR camp and label have been so tight lipped about the album coming out to help prevent it from being pirated as long as possible.? The longer they wait to service press, radio, and regional sales reps with advance copies of the album the less likely the album is to leak prior to the release date.? ?This may be a possible reason as to why we haven't seen the long sought after press release.

I also found the same story on Denver's KBPI (Clear Channel) at: http://kbpi.com/script/headline_newsmanager_alt.php?id=464652&pagecontent=MusicNewsClassicRock&feed_id=25?

though it could be true, a release date could get leaked out to someone just like the demos, its hard to keep things a secret forever in the information age, but i wont hold stock in it until i see it show up on more sites, in more radio programs.

actually, i dont beleive anything unless i see it here.

this actually makes sense but if the album is gonna drop next month then that would? mean we would hear some rumblings about a single soon... [crosses fingers]

[kunzerd]

maybe thats what the march 28th date that was a rumoured cd release date was really all about.

did you add those other links after your initial post? i didnt see them the first time.

Yes I did.

i cant find a definite link between this cc.com and http://www.clearchannel.com/

are we sure they are affiliated? the only reason why i ask is because all the websites look exactly the same. just doesnt feel right.

I have a feeling that the demo's were released to sidetrack us, and others, prior to the release date. There's a reason Axl is hanging out in NYC.

Anyone heard of this?

www.cc.com is Clear Channel's concert website to promote their sponsored tours and venues they own.  www.clearchannel.com is the company's corporate website.

i just wasnt sure because in clear channels other businesses section of their corp. website it makes no mention of cc.

No worries.  Clear Channel spun off their concert promotion company (Live Nation) into its own entity in 2004.  If you click on the privacy policy on cc.com you will find this:

I hear ya.  This doesn't guarantee they're accurate on this one but at least its not like "Joe Blow's Fanzine" floating a rumor they heard from a friend of a friend of a cousin.

Blah. I'll believe it when I see it.
