Day before the tour

[badintentions]

The news of a release date will not come in the form of stage banter. This is wishful thinking.

You'd think that would be obvious to every living being, but no.

Yeah, I mean I try not to be too critical. People are excited and all but yeah, use some common sense ya know? It's like the people that thought he was gonna drop the release date as part of announcing the killers at the VMA's

what ive noticed is gnr fans have been so deprived for information, they hope any minor/major event will lead to something. like there was a thread saying "do you think something could happen on halloween" like wtf. like - Hey, its thursday! i wonder if we will get a release date! When you have been waiting for 10 years, you look for every possibility.

Axl is going to announce the release date in an instant message to a microsoft live assistance operator at 3pm on October 25th, because 2 and 5 add up to 7 which has special significance to Axl because he was seven once. During October. You heard it here first.

I remember the press release from 2002 was right around the start of the tour...and it was a GREAT read.  Nothing about the album in the entire article though, hopefully this time its different.

Yeah, we can only hope

I don't know if this has been suggested or not......i think they should have listening stations of either small clips of several songs on the album ....or a few of the full songs like IRS,Better, Madagascar etc. This will help people to feel connected to the new music and may hype up the shows and encourage people to come to the shows with the hope of hearing new material first. What do you think?

i had a hunch that was it

[jmrgnr]

People already know what most the songs listed sound like....plus it would be on headsets....maybe just a 30sec. clips. Let people do the advertising for them. Concert goers could spread the word that new material is ready to go. After a kick ass show most people would be very positive about what they hear and the future of the band.

Yes. But isn't the same effect achieved by playing the songs live, in full? Why go to the expense of carting listening stations from place to place when you can actually play the songs in person. I mean, if all those people have come to the concert to hear you play anyway. . .

. . . has the whole world gone mad, or is it just me?

[flickn]

hmmmm has anybody ponder that the whole album could be played live ?

I KNOW that everyone hates it when this is said....but it would really suck for the casual fans who are in the place if they did that.  No one would know what they were listening to!  In fact, a casual fan that I work with was asking me about the Worchester show...she was WORRIED that the album wouldn't be out yet, but they might play it at the show.  I giggled and told her I don't think she has to worry about it

I realize the diehards like us would  just about die of happiness, but for the majority of the people there....not so good.

[flickn]

welll I have heard and listen to Iron maiden doing this real real recently , So it has happened I am sure their die hards were pissed cause non of their old stuff was jammed on.

[The Legend]

People are gonna expect songs like Jungle, SCOM, PC, & NR to be played, but other than that. Everything in their current setlist is interchangeable.

Personally if they cut SCOM & NR, I wouldn't shed a tear. Getting kinda bored with them...

[guns_n_motley]

ya, but the fact is management is handling this poorly... the tour is starting,, all they say is 10weeks until the end of the year... well damnit, I want an album...


if they are really getting the single for better this week,or the commercial we cant speak of is airing, I expect an announcement soon...

Do you even think that is a remote possibility?

How do you know management is handling it poorly?

You an insider or something?

[flickn]

Everything has to be considered a possibility with this band

[jimb0]

There hasn't been this much speculation on a date since the second coming of christ

because, how hard can it be to give us a release date??? the tour is starting and no news of a cd... ever wonder why the venues arent selling out??? people arent sure whether or not to trust axl... if the cd is coming out give us the date.. no need to be secretive..
