Can ANYBODY please copy and paste the whole article from the site? i cant get in.

Chinese Democracy before 2007
September 6th, 2006 at 4:47 pm (Rock)

Baz is now signed to Sanctuary management - just like GnR.

Again, this comes from inside Interscope: Jimmy Iovine (head of Interscope) has heard as many as 6 finished tracks off of Chinese Democracy. Interscope would like to get this album out soon? hopefully before the end of the year. ?? Quote from insider, ?It is really happening.?

Axl told John Norris the other night at the VMAs that it is coming this year.

My co-host on Talking Metal, John Ostronomy, was with Axl the other night - see news here. We will discuss this in next Monday?s episode of Talking Metal

Check out the RnR Geek show episode 190 for an intervew with Sebastian Bach. The Rock N Roll Geek show is my favorite podcast.

Also, A couple listeners of Talking Metal are starting their own podcast called ?The Right To Rock!? - check it out.

The new Maiden rocks!

I am traveling non-stop this month? Indiana, New Mexico, California, South Jersey?. Checking out from midtown Manhattan.

badass...

If this is true it is NOT good news for us.  I mean he heard just 6 finished tracks?  If CD is really coming out this year then he would've heard the whole album by now.  This worries me a little.

If all the things were done, they would want to release the album now and not wait a couple of months.

[Steel_Angel]

maybe the 6 songs were so badass that he didnt have to hear the rest? ;P

What could there be left to finish, it has to be done by now . . . . . hasn't it 

[pasnow]

An album has 5 singles off it MAX!! That's all he was probably concerned about. Plus this guy does have a multi-million dollar company to run. Myb he's not much of a fan either.? I take this as positive news.

not worried a bit but I'd lean toward GNFNRAXL's opinion,
if these are true
Interscope "still has not ruled out a 2006 release date for Chinese Democracy. "
                  "would not be surprised if it comes out before years end"

in contrast
Axl             "'t this year! "
                 "absolutely! "

Shouldn't they be surprised if it doesn't come out before years end. nay?

I urge all Guns N Roses fans to check out this fall?s tour. This is a new GnR era. You have to see it to believe it.

This is true.

I wonder if Iovine thought it was good 'house music'.

[pasnow]

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "would not be surprised if it comes out before years end"

Shouldn't they be surprised if it doesn't come out before years end. nay?

That's the same thing, your just changing where you put the negative.

If memory serves me correct BBF had to go to the record company before the tour to listen to (and rehearse) the studio tracks, and he was only allowed to listen to the songs they planned to perform. So its likely they had these kicking around before the tour, and the rest of the album tracklisting was to be decided.

Sanctuary also confirmed that the 6 new tracks played live on this tour were on the album.

Hopefully talking metal will reveal more of the story!

P.S. I would want to hear all of CD if I was the head of Interscope. $13m is a big investment and its one of their high profile names

When Sanctuary confirmed that those 6 new tracks were on the album?

there's a nuance.
the first sentence sounds like the album may come out this year while the second one says it must be coming out this year.

In a press release after the NY gigs or after the tommy hill-something incident  I think. let me find it.

Correct me if im wrong but isnt this quite an old piece of info. I remember a couple of months ago someone came on here with an account of a conversation that took place over lunch between Iovine and others in which he said he had heard finished tracks. Does this jog anyone elses memory?!

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.

To be fair and I'm quite shocked the second vegas night hasn't sold out but why are tickets 153.00 dollars face value and goin for more on ebay.

this is not significant news, Jimmy Iovine hasn't even heard the finished album yet

[robinfinckfan]

nice, thanks alot.

Haha This is looking like good news, roll on CD!
badass...

I said finished album. not finished tracks

[oneway23]

That "hopefully" qualifier throws a wrench into my optimism

[MikeD]

Who cares if this guy has heard six finished tracks off the new album. Practically everyone on this board has heard six finished tracks from the album.
