What's the Chinese Democracy release date?

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

because it has been said by merck and fortus (i think)

[MikeD]

Sometimes I feel like I"m beating a fucking dead horse . . . .

[grabaraxl]

because they want people to buy them for xmas. it's always a bad idea to deliver any new product between dec 25th and the end of January. it's commercial suicide.

[Steel_Angel]

There is NO Chinese Democracy release date.

Be quiet guys, i don't know the date, I only want to know your toughts about a possible release date in this year 2006. Do you still think it's possible? only three months to leave this year and I think an album like this should be announced at least, two or three months before its release. I Think that the only chances are on a Christmas date but don't hope that. If this album is really comin' with this tour I think it will be released durin the first half of 2007 and a single comin' out at christmas or january-february. What do you really think about?


P.D.: Axl, if you read this, The only thing I hope (and i think Everybody hope) is that the next album won't take so many years to release, More than ten years again would be terrible !!!

It was released yesterday in secret. However, Chinese military intelligence officials intercepted and suppressed it, fearing the title would provoke unrest.

If it's not in stores by November 21st we aren't seeing it until at least March/April of next year.

Releasing it anytime after the 21st of November or before March is the quickest way to tank sales and make sure this album has no commercial success. For the amount of time and money that have went into the project, I would certainly think the label would make sure they put the album in the best position to prosper commericially.

[Skinflick]

WHAT THE HELL WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HEAR WHEN THE ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED???

Well, not this week.....maybe soon....maybe later....don't be so angry...

[PrettyTiedUp763]

Don't you know? It was released last Tuesday! We all have it.  No, really. This year. That's all anyone knows. Just take Axl's word for it. Why do we keep repeating this discussion?

[shoup]

There are 13 Tuesdays left in 2006. Stay tight children....

While I get what your saying about long term success, GNR needs more of an immediate impact for this to take off the way we would all like. Since it is a debut album of sorts, and Axl's big comeback, it needs to have the best chance to commericially succeed immediately.

I think we can all imagine the number the media would do on him and the band were this album to have mediocre sales in the early going, and releasing it after 11/21 does not give it the best chance to make an immediate impact commercially.

Let's face it, whether we like it or not if this album doesn't sell well and generate the type of response we all would hope for that is probably the first and last GNR album we are seeing from this band. So to give them the best chance to build some momemntum, it would only make sense to  make sure the album is in stores for the biggest shopping day of the year.

[SkiX]

It would be cool if they released it on Chinese New Year... but then again, thats next year, so NO! I'll go with November

[BluesGNR]

Tuesday before thanksgiving..... you'll get the black friday sales.  It'd be genius. 

[FunkyMonkey]

According to Answer.com

The release date is currently rumoured by many to be November 13th 2006.

I would be curious to know who the "many" are.

"As for Guns N' Roses forthcoming "Chinese Democracy" album the only comment at this time is that there are 13 Tuesdays left between now and the end of the year."

Could this mean or lead into that whoever said this, Chinese Democracy could be released on the very last tuesday of the year as a Christmas present?
