Being axl said this year why not give a release date at the vmas?

[mikegiuliana]

Maybe I'm missing something being it's already september.. WHy do you think axl didn't get a litte more in depth about cd and maybe a single..? Why do you think he would waste such great media to not give a month or date?? This year ends dec 31st... I mean there's no way there's no date set already.. I just don't see the point of wasting the 50 times viewed played 24-7 vmas during an interview to not get any deeper about cd.. Cool he said this year as well as oct 24th for the tour but I never understand the reasons for wasting such great publicity.. if he mentions that at the vmas now you have every write up about cd with an official date.. Just never get the point of his lakc of info on key moments..

I think we're all wondering why he passed up this opportunity to give a release date. But I think Axl just wanted to get his face back in the public eye. I mean its good because he reassured fans that it is this year. It's a shame he wasn't more specific though.

I don't know why he had to show his face but not give the date, this year is rapidly ending.. Sure things could happen late october but why waste the biggest mainstream media for music that's rerun a million times seen by as many people.. I hope this year means anything in 2006

He wouldn't mean the school year or the new TV season, would he ? This could take us to Spring 07.

Why don't you wait for Tuesday or Wednesday. Has anybody called n' asked the radio stations of any possible upcoming GNR news?

[Scabbie]

Fuck knows, I wander now how the actual date is going to be finally announced. Would be lame if it was by businesswire after all this time.

[BurningHills]

A label rep has been assigned to the album and tour..don't worry!

Because its TIME!!!! If October is the New Offical Tour , what the hell is he touring, I'd say the new Album, am I right?

We hope! Its just if Mysteron said there's no date been set and Axl didn't announce it, maybe they're waiting on dates from the folks mastering the album or the plant where they will press the cds, in which case it would be unlikely so short a period after the VMAs

[jarmo]

Does artists usually make release date announcements during an interview that's only shown online?

I think using the VMAs for this announcement would've been a bad idea. It would get lost among the "who was wearing what" articles.... It might've been mentioned like "by the way, Axl announced the release date for their new album"....

I think once the announcement is gonna be made, people will know.

Agreed. To think GN'R won't make a unique spectacle of THE announcement everyone's been waiting for after all these years is ridiculous. When the date is set and they're ready to announce it, they will...and they'll do it on their terms and in their style. Period.

and also there might a million of other reasons we don't know... record label reasons, leak preventing reasons, personal reasons and so on... also, most of the thread around are why did axl do this or why didn't axl do that... because he did or didn't, why is it so important?

[Mutherfunker]

Am I right in thinking that we almost have the release date already. Surely it must be one of the following:

Tuesday   03/10/2006
Tuesday   10/10/2006
Tuesday   17/10/2006
Tuesday   24/10/2006
Tuesday   31/10/2006
Tuesday   07/11/2006
Tuesday   14/11/2006
Tuesday   21/11/2006

Won't happen within the month, and surely not after thanksgiving, so you're down to a 1 in 8 shot.

One of these dates could be the day!

I think we are down to 3 dates in November, but lets not start the rumour ball... 

[lastroots]

I expected him to act like that, as I stated in another thread.
My guess goes for late October / early November, which makes most sense.

[benchiefjr]

in that case, soon IS the word.

14/11/06 - im telling you thats the date

[WARose]

as jarmo basically said allready, it wouldn`t have been such a great idea to announce it at the vma?s, given he just did a small backstage interview, which was shown in the internet only (i guess)...  when i watched the interview and the guy asked axl for a month, i instantly thought "of course not"... and that`s what axl said...

mayber you`re talking about the vma`s in general, but giving a date during the norris interview wouldn have been a bad idea. and i don`t think it would`ve been cool to announce it during the vma`s either....
