NOT TRUE: CD Out November 21st?

[Saul]

I'm guessing the album is finished though?

I don't know, I don't think anybody here knows.

All that matter is that we've been told it'll be finished and released before this year ends.

What kinda reaction do you expect on the boards if the album doesnt come out this year and managment doesnt offer any explaination? I honestly DONT see this happening as I'm sure neither do you. But given that situation I think there would be major chaos and flaming.

I could see the album being "delayed" until jan or feb 2007 but I think with any delay would come some form of an explaination of why ... do you think if an 06 release becomes impossible that we will get a statement as to why?

[Nytunz]

Who are these "people"?

It's not 2002. Axl never claimed the album was coming out in 2002. Huge difference.

Then why was it called the "Chinese Democracy World Tour"?

Well, they did play a song called Chinese Democracy, and maybe they planed to release the album soon thereafter, but something changes.. shit happens..

It will be out.. dont stress with all this "we gotta have an announcement soon" thing. Things will happen. Just like the official website popping up. Remember what we had last year at this time? Nothing interesting. Things are happening now. But everything needs its time..

or shortly thereafter.....

As far as I know nobody in the GNR camp said anything to that effect. Yet.

Not officially.....

But with the latest changes to the tour in the last few days, the plan may have changed radically yet another time. Hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later..

If GNR wanted to release an album on a Wednesday, Friday or Monday...they could do it. ?In recent years, 50 Cent and Eminem have dropped albums on Saturdays to dissuade illegal downloading. ?It's rare but GNR is big enough to pull it off.

GNR will need promotion. ?This is not the Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, collaberation that was on the tip of everyone's tongue in '91. ?"Patience" was a huge hit in '89. ?That was a mere two years prior. ?Also, "You Could Be Mine" was all over the radio and was featured in the number one move of the summer (Terminator 2). ?

It's been about 12 good years since GNR has had substantional airplay. ?GNR's original audience are now all married and with kids. ?The high schoolers (thought some are Gunner fans) are more into Ashley Simpson and Emo. ?The label needs some time to get the news out there so everyone knows it's going to drop. ?

Limp Bizkit tried the "don't tell anyone a new album is coming out" release. ?And it tanked.

Remember, labels care about one thing...making money. ?If promoting the album with 6 weeks notice gives them a greater advantage to make money...they are going to do it. ?Especially since Axl has spent close to 20 million making this one...they're going to want to play this safe instead of taking a chance with a "surprise" release.

We will hear news Friday. ?It is destiny.

Wasn't it around this time last year Merck said 2005 is the year of GNR? ?

Or was that 2004?

I could give you a list of differences between these two tours but you wouldn't care because you're too busy looking back instead of forward.



/jarmo

Do you always need to be sarcastic, Jarmo?

I think its fair enough to compare the two tours.

i dont see how you can compare the two tours.. By Axl words back, then, and what he is saying now. Things seems much more on track..

This time it doesn't appear that Axl feels "pressured" to tour, so that's good.

[Neemo]

they played more shows in all of 2002 in 3 months...lots of interviews and public appearances...it hasn't been like this since 1992

Yes, things seem more on track now, but still - that tour was called the "Chinese Democracy" tour - why was that? If the album was nowhere in site, why not call it the "Guns Reloaded" tour or something else?

My main point is that Jarmo doesn't have to be sarcastic everytime someone tries bringing up a point or making a statement - that's what has me more frustrated at this point.

If was interested in looking back instead of forward, I wouldn't have gone to the Hammerstein in May, and I sure as fuck wouldn't be going to MSG in November.

Also, "You Could Be Mine" was all over the radio and was featured in the number one move of the summer (Terminator 2). 

That's a good point... Do you guys think GNR will release a single before the album for promotion sake?

i would say yes but you never know what's gonna happen with this band

I thought so 4 years ago, now I don't.

well I guess we're running out of time for a single.  I bet he releases last Tuesday of the year just as a half ass joke

[the dirt]

Is there one good reason this thread is open? The album isn't coming out on Nov 21st......locked.

This thread has pretty much become "CD out before end of year" thread. Have to contain it somehow.

That would be pretty funny.

[the dirt]

? I bet he releases last Tuesday of the year just as a half ass joke

I'll take that joke. At least I have something that way.

It would be better than the "there are only 13 Tuesdays left in the year" joke, that's for sure.

Well. I think there has been going on alot in the GNR camp, that we dont know about. Spess back in 2002. I know the tour was called Chinese Democracy tour. And i guess that was because there was a "nearby finishd" version of the album. But as we know. Something happend during the tour. And everything was cut! I dont think Axl wanted it to go like it did. Im sure there was some disturbens that made it go like this. My point is, that the different between GNR 2002 and GNR 2006. Is that we have alot better picture of the band now, then we had in 2002. We know GNR was gonna do shows back in 2002, but it was alot of silence around the band. This time around, there has been GNR hysteria all around europe. Axl been more in the media, on parties, on tv presenting awards. He have said in several ocations that the album will be released in 2006. THey have played for an awsome audience in europe. Added a big North America Tour.. which will start in a week or so. I see big differences. Theyr officeial Website is up, and i guess that means they have hierd a webdesigner.

So i guess that things seams alot more different now... The album will be out. And there is no reason why it shouldent, with this great Buildup! This is not the end of a GnR session, this is sure the beginning.

11

what if they release it under a different band name

but it has been said on numerous occasions by axl that it'llbe out this year and merck has said as much as well...and the response to the rollingstone claim was that "They picked the wrong tuesday of the 13 remaining" or something...i  still think it's coming out this year

You're damn right it didn't go like Axl wanted. He didn't even want to be out there in the first place!!
