AT WHAT POINT DO WE GIVE UP WAITING....

[zakas80]

i was thinkin the inland invasion as well, even if he doesnt give a release date then they can at least announce the 1st single (considering its one of the biggest radio stations in the US) im keeping my fingers crossed

[WhatIsItMan]

I'm getting real close...

[pilferk]

Ummmmm.....

Did I miss something? ?Does "waiting" actually require some sort of effort on our part? ?Because all it means to me is living my life until the album comes out. ?Either it will, or it won't. ?If it does, great, I'll buy it and get to listen to some great (hopefully) music. ?If it doesn't...I have more than enough GnR material, as it stands, to fill my 6 disk changer in my car...and life will go on. The sun will rise, my kids will wake me up at the crack of dawn, and I'll toil away another week in the salt mines earning my paycheck.

See, I just don't understand the sentiment. ?Give up? ?You make it sound like it's an effort to draw breath every second the album doesn't see the light of day. ?What is there to "give up" exactly? ?Why would someone stop doing something that requires absolutely nothing on their part...literally? ?It just requires you to exist until something does or doesn't happen.....

Edit: And I wonder just how long it takes the mods to move this thread to "Dead Horse"....??

I think "waiting" means being on the HTGTH message board 24/7.

Well, that's not "waiting", that's "posting".

And even if GnR sent out a PR tomorrow saying "Chinese Democracy is as dead as the idea of REAL Democracy in China" or "Chinese Democracy Release Date: Hell Freezes Over", I'd still continue to post here.   I'd post less in the GNR section, I guess, because there'd be less to talk about concerning current GnR.  But still.......

Thansk for posting that - I would say the same thing.

The use of "we" is a problem for me as well - people keep making posts saying "when do we stop waiting;" "if a single doesn't come out soon, we're in serious trouble" etc. Who the hell is we? Speak for yourself if you want, but please don't extend it to me, the rest of the board or the band.

If CD doesn't come out by Thursday, April 23, 2019, I'll probably give up then.  Probably...

[Mikkamakka]

Alright cool.

You know, I hear the word noob a lot on gaming boards...but never here. I don't really even like using urban talk anyway but, that is the first word to come to mind.

LOL. As far as I remember you are chanting 'this is the year' - for years. Once you'll be right (hopefully) and you'll act like you've been one of the 'realists' unlike the vicious 'haters' who don't even deserve to hear the 'magic', the 'best record of all time'.


Back to the topic. I gave up my hopes in 2002, but right now I strongly feel it can happen this year.

[dodger girl]

I've been thinking of this too.. time is going fast.. geez we might get the new "supernova" (or whatever name they will use now) before Chinese Democracy.. 

I guess there's times I'm more optimistic.. but 3 months will go by in front of our eyes fast, so it's either gonna be an amazing 3 months full of surprises or 3 months to forget and bury deep in Gn'R fans memories..

[kyrie]

You're basing this on something in Entertainment Weekly?

Get help.

[Mandy.]

Why give up now when you can do it first thing after breakfast tomorrow?

[The Prez]

Actually, the time has past that I don't really give a damn anymore about chinese democracy. They had to released it few years ago! Few years ago, also the non-GN'R fans were waiting for the album, or at least were interested in it. (also the media)

They (GN'R) have reached a point that the album will never be a commercial succes because it has become a joke. If it will really see the daylight then it will be soo critisized (or how do you spell this word?) that a success album is out of the question. I hope of course the Guns can prove me wrong, but I don't think so.

The band in 2002 also sucked big time. Be real!! At this moment they are quit ok (not as super as they once were): better voice, better attitude, etc...than in 2002 but it's like too late now.
Of course, I do not exclude the fact that I will be wrong and that CD will be "an historial album", but again, I doubt it. I strongly believe it will be out without real big media attention. Only the real Gunners like us will be excited with the release (if there ever will be a release....).

Basically, I gave up my hopes about my favorite band to be the best fucking rock n' roll band again.

OH MY GOD, can someone MOVE this Thread to the BS section???

It's worse than you think.? He's basing it on something that was NOT in Entertainment Weekly?

i was just browsing the entertainment weekly fall/winter music preview..saw over 100 upcoming release dates....NOTHING ON GNR.......

The same post again......?!!?!

Is there a sleeping emoticon - I can't seem to find it.

@#$%Funker

:*sleeping: (leave out the *)

[ScottishGunner]

If you mean - sitting around twiddling my thumbs waiting for it , that ended years ago.

But that doesn't stop the anticipation - it'll come out, but my world wont alter if it doesn't come out in 2006 - however Axl said this year , and if there's a man who knows when it's due it'll be Axl.

It'll be out, when it's out and we can all enjoy it when it does.
