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..

That would have been tacky and predictable, not to mention expected.  Three things that WAR never sucumbs to.

yeah it would have been a disaster, I mean riots cancelled tours waiting forever for one album keeping a band going with no members is all good, but god forbid he mentions the date in an interview

We get it Mike, it was a huge mistake not to use that awards show.

 

Just wait until next week, then you can start complaining about the setlist again.

I can maybe understand a pinch of scepticism, but why would he say this year if he didn't mean it? The man is obviously not afraid to be the barer of bad news. If it wasn't going to be this year, wouldn't he have just said 'soon' again?

I don't know why you guys get so mad because of my opinion... of course I bitch about the set list, the band is new but they play mostly old.. If they start playing less and less old then I'll be happy..  I see no reason for a new band to play ten afd songs.. That's just me though..

Ofcourse your opinion is yours and you are entitled to it. Not to speak for Jarmo, but I think the point was that we're all aware of you opinons on more then a few subjects.

yeah bro we're all a bunch of characters, I know what people will say before I even get into the topic..  true we're one disfunctional family...

[the dirt]

A family is what we are 

I'm sure some brothers and sisters hate my viewpoints on how Brain drums YCBM.

We are all happy that GNR is making some noise now though. Better than complaining that nothing is going on. I'd rather hear complaints about activity rather than complaints about no activity.

If I remember right, Axl has said "this year" several times in the past.

1999
"Loder: When do you think we will actually see this album? Is it possible to say early next year?  Rose: We're hoping. Yes, definitely, everything seems to be going well."


2001
"Although this, the performance at Rock In Rio was the target of some criticizism from Axl. According to him, his voice was not at his best because of lack of sleep and the band needs to adjust the sound to these great shows. The expectations of the band turns now to the new album, 'Chinese Democracy', which will be released in June. The leader guarantees his fans that they will be rewarded for the long wait."

2002
"'Our plan was to have the new album out this year,' Goldstein said."

2006
"People will hear music this year."
"Axl was asked about Chinese Democracy's release and he said 'it is this year'."


In other words, don't believe a word until an official announcement is made by the label.  And even then, don't believe it until you have the album in your hands.  What the hell is he supposed to do, say "No, it's not coming this year.  I don't know when it's coming."?  Then he would have to face all sorts of other questions--  When will it be done?  Why has it taken so long?  All sorts of questions there he would have to answer, and immediately public opinion turns against him because he can't get an album out, or won't get an album out, that Velvet Revolver is better, all that sort of crap that people already love to believe will just get more and more widespread.

Better to say it's coming soon and have to delay it than to not say it's coming at all.  "It is easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission."

[DoubleTalkingJive]

This is the first time we have had 2 statements made by Axl about the release date.   "This Fall" on the Trunk Show and "It will be out this year" on the VMA's so I'd say that's the difference then all these years that have passed.  This is the first time without giving a date, Axl has been so positive to say anything.  I am going by that.

[Irish rose]

I think they are waiting to see how axl behaves on the american tour, maybe a few shows in a solid date will be given.....Maybe the label want to gauge the reaction of the fans aswell

[KillKurtzKids]

I think those 'Axl quotes' would be worthy of a FOX news broadcast.

people are also forgetting when Axl gave us that press release about Buckethead leaving and said that the he hopes to announce a release date "within the next few months", what year was that? 2003 or 2004?

So you're helping me re-confirm that Axl has never said "this year" before.....thanks!

[russtcb]

We have "this year" from Axl and "during the tour" from richard, therefore it'll be released this year during the tour...that's the most detailed info we've ever been given.

We will have the album in under 4 months. Period.
