Head of Interscope has heard final tracks?

Not sure how true this is, but thought i'd post it.

I believe it 100%. On the VMA stream, you could see Axl talking to John Ostronemy (sp?), who is Mark Strigl's friend and working buddy. I'm curious as to what they'll say about that conversation next Monday...

Well Bach is now signed with Sanctuary, so that part is true

Interscope would like to get this album out soon? hopefully before the end of the year

Not exactly sure are they. They need to get this album out at the start of the US tour because if they can't even sell out the second warmup show then how do they expect to do a full tour, they need the album now just as much as people want to hear it if they want to sell US tickets.

i guess interscope is quite sure it`ll come out this year, but they don`t want to make any firm announcements, before everything is 100% sure...

THAT

Axl is making amazing music without Slash. To be fair, Slash & Duff are making great (i would say "amazing" here) music without Axl.

SUMS EVERYTHING UP. END OF ALL STUPID DEBATES.

Is this even a proper reply to anything?? Anyway, it's good to hear at least from another source that this year may very well be "the year."  I do agree this album needs to be coming out or they should at least have a single out and starting promotion by the start of the tour. It would be horrible if this was just another '02 tour without an album.  For the first time MAYBE ever though, it seems like the odds are more for the album coming out this year, than for it NOT coming out.

EDIT: Does anyone else think that it's slightly odd that the "higher ups" of Interscope have only heard "some" of the tracks? Why wouldn't they have already heard the whole album by now, if it is indeed coming out soon??

Why would he only listen to 6 songs? He's that busy? Or are the other 6 presumed to be 'fillers' like on most albums.

The Talking Metal stalker was with Axl on the VMAs? I didn't know about that...

But the info seems pretty legit to me, IMO. Since Axl said its really comming out this year, why wouldn't someone from the company got a bunch of tracks to listen to? You know they will eventually...

Why would he only listen to 6 songs? He's that busy? Or are the other 6 presumed to be 'fillers' like on most albums.

Because maybe there's only six finished songs? Because to prevent more leaks? Because they needed proof of the finished songs?

Great. No one brought this debate here in this thread, tho.

it is odd, but who knows what is true and what isn't maybe only 6 songs had been mastered when he walked into the studio that day

another thing...exec's prolly don't give a rats ass what it sounds like as long as it sells and makes top 5 in billboard charts

That's an interesting news... probably  the most important piece of news on the album over the last few weeks.

yeah    more important than axl saying "it is this year himself"

[Voodoochild]

He really said "it is this year himself"?

I'm taking this with a pinch of salt, although it is indeed a credible source.

I think we should try and keep a cap on the hype, if this is true, just so we don't get disappointed if nothing happens this year.

As we always should.

The heads of interscope wouldn't give a shite about hearing the whole album.  They are concerned with the $$$$ not the songs.  When you get that high up the chain, they wont care.

30 days has September,
April, June and November.
All the rest have 31
except the second month alone,
To which we 28 assign,
'til Leap Year gives it 29


Edit: before anyone reads too far into the above statment....I mean just hold your horses.  We'll either have a release date or we won't.

  yeah i was like WTF is he on about? I say less than a month between announcement and album

[Gargh!]

I read that as meaning he has heard six completed songs, he may well have heard the "works in progress" as well.
