I don't think CD will come out this year :(

"People will hear music this year"

Not

"Chinese Democracy" will come out this year.

Axl was very careful with the words he chose.

I just hope the band don't re-recored all of BH's parts with a possible third guitarist. 

[You Gonna Eat That?]

My thoughts from the beginning

[supaplex]

i'm not holding my breath but i'm hoping it will come out. if it doesn't at least we can say we had a lot to talk about in the gnr camp this year.
and i don't think they'll re-record buckethead's parts, they kept brian may on citr so there's no reason to get buckethead out of the album

Yeah,but Brian May wasn't in the band, he was a guest guitarist,right?

[supaplex]

^at the moment he was in the studio with axl he was recording songs for chinese democracy and buckethead also recerded stuff for chinese democracy so why shouldn't his parts be kept on the album as a guest musician??

[Nighteyes]

But was Brian ever a member of the band?

[supaplex]

was buckethead ever a member. there's no album or official gnr released song that he's part of. as far as we know he could've been a hiered musician

[Nighteyes]

Ok, I see what you mean 

[Backslash]

was buckethead ever a member. there's no album or official gnr released song that he's part of. as far as we know he could've been a hiered musician

Even if he was on an official release, he could be listed as a studio musician.  He's only in the band if credited as a member of the band in an official release.

I think we will hear a couple of songs, or the worst thing I can imagine is that the concerts that GNR will do are the music we are going to hear

of course he was in the band, axl introduced him as part of the band at countless shows and even in the 2002 pre-tour interview with del james, when he mentioned who was in the band at the moment. buckethead was an official member.

well, buckethead is kinda like gilby was in the early days. he toured with them but never recorded official stuff.
anyway we were talking about buckethead's parts. if they would keep them or not. and i think that they have no reason to re-record his stuff

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it isn't out this year.  Honestly, I'd be more surprised if it did come out this year.
