[greendog]

[Will]

Thanks Will... I guess it will be like 4 or 5 AM in London, but who knows... Mr. Rose i usually awake at that times

11PM-2AM in NY will be 4AM-7AM in London and 5AM-8AM in Paris, Madrid, Rome, etc.

Does anybody else find the lack of CD news alarming?
I am all over the US tour, but you would think there would be a mention of it. If it is not out during the tour, I would love to know what this is a tour for? To promote what? The gold re-issue of AFD?

Not alarming, but kinda weird for sure. Of course, it will be out when it's ready, but I think it's very, very risky to go on tour in the US without an album, or at least a single out on the radio or a confirmed release date...

[madagas]

Even announcing the US tour without album news is going to be a big disappointment.

[BLS-Pride]

Yeah. Even if he said something like "CD is still on track for fall" or something to that nature would be great. But silence when it comes to CD at this time with the tour gearing up is just dumb. They could use this time for a major marketing attack.

[jkruk88]

I agree with Rancid Punx. ?This is ridiculous. ?If hes there for an interview about the tour, take the next step and ask him about the album. ?Dont be scared of him, but the longer we're all left completely in the dark the worse off its gonan be. ?Great to hear theyll be adding more shows but come on, throw us a bone here.

[philspectorshotme]

no offence to rhiad, but have we got a second source on this yet?

[Voodoochild]

If they add TWAT, CITR and Rhiad on the setlist, it would be the newer songs he talked about?

I agree. ?That would be a disappointment. ?However, I'm guessing that in this interview, Axl answered what he was asked. ?If they didn't ask him about the album, he wouldn't have any reason just to bring it up on his own. ?That's not his job to steer the interview.

But, I say wait until if and when there is an announcement on the tour in its entirety. ?Then, if there is no mention of the album, then I think it's fair to be disappointed after what Axl said on Trunk's show.

Or he could have told them no CD questions.

[EFISH]

Just so ya'll know.. I'll record the stream of Trunk's show tonight, but someone else should probably do it too, incase i mess it up. i've recorded a stream once before, and it worked.. but u can never be too sure.

IF he does do Trunk, i'm sure trunk will ask him about CD.. seems that guy knows how to ask the right questions...

[DunkinDave]

Why would Axl be on Trunk tonight?

GNR's not coming to the Eastern US any time soon, he was on KROQ to promote the West Coast shows.

[Voodoochild]

Nobody else heard it? Can anyone confirm it?

[Ali]

Or he could have told them no CD questions.

That's true, but either way, no questions asked about the album means no information on the album is divulged.

Why not? (What else to say? There is always hope... Last time he was at KROQ few days after Trunk, so maybe this time he will be on Trunk after KROQ, whatever... maybe he will announce East Coast dates at Trunk. Who knows?)

[Origen]

Maybe Trunks show just has nothink to do wit this. And also can anyone else confirm this, so far (no offence) only 1 person claims to have heard this

You would think he would bring it up himself. Isnt he suppose to be excited about his work? Wants to share it? I mean your touring again.. Usually touring is for promoting something.. hmm like an album. He should be talking about it and if Axl Rose starts openly talking about CD the buzz will start.

[downzy56]

This whole "an album needs to be released for a tour to be valid" line of thinking seems flawed to me.? If the European tour proved anything, it's that GNR does not necessarily need a new album for a tour to be successful.? I know a lot of you want to think otherwise, but a GNR tour means one thing: money.? GNR can still successfully tour and make money without a new album.? People will still pay $90 and up to hear the hits and could care less whether they're not playing TWAT or Better.?

If you think of GNR as a corporation, as a brand name, you can understand why Axl and co. would continue to tour without an album.? I love it how GNR fans seem more concerned about Axl's career than he seems himself.? It's not your career, so what do you care?? Let's be honest, this isn't frustration over GNR touring without an album release.? This is more about frustration about the album not be released period.?

Bottom line: it's his career, let him worry about it.? Go live your life and stop obsessing over his.
