It looks like our friend from Talking Metal is in a lot more optimistic mood than most of us.

Everything seems to be pointing to Chinese Democracy coming out now!!! - I believe we will see it this month.  I have no proof and I have no source?  just small clues.

Consider this time the calm before the storm.  Buy 2 to 3 copies of this album!  Support the new Guns N Roses by buying the new music and by going to see them play live.  The new lineup is amazing.

I sure would love it if his optimism turned out to be true, but I just don't see it at this point.

I remember they said "November 21st something big is happening" I wonder what it is, and if it doesnt happen, if they will tell us.

He's already confirmed that it is NOT happening. Check this out:

I had heard that GnR might be doing something cool in NYC on 11/21? a small performance. I am now told this is NOT happening so please chill out. They have since booked a show in Canada for that night anyway? They won?t even be in NYC.

Once again, I have no clue when Chinese Democracy is coming out. A bunch of you seem to think I know. I don?t. I swear it. Matter of fact, no one seems to know.

I am looking forward to tomorrow?s show in New Jersey.

Unless they are still planning that surprise show, it looks like nothing is happening on 11/21 that Strigl knows about anyway.

Oh ok, that's what it was about. Thanks man.

He must have received some pretty good clues because from the recent Talking Metal Podcast, he was less optimistic about the Nov 21 rumor.  He had been predicting a mid-Dec release date.

speaking of clues, all this speculation gives me a raging clue.

and if you don't get that, too bad i guess.

My raging clue is pointing over there...

[GNFNRAXL]

Did it ever occur to you that his so called "clues" could be coming from the boards? ?Just wondering out loud.

Do I hear one of the Hardley boys?

LMFAO...so true, so true! He's probably just talking about the Rolling Stone article and that other deal that got posted by another site (and taken down) about a quick blitzkrieg marketing campaign and a 21st release date.

the thing that gets me excited as someone said above is that in one of his podcasts he said he didnt think the record would get released until dec 26th
 

so i wonder what made him change his mind

Read my post.  Maybe he gets his info from this board or other boards.

It's good to see people being optimistic. 

[GNFNRAXL]

It's good to see people being optimistic.?

Yep!  Doesn't make me optimistic as far as seeing the album this year but it is refreshing.

Yeah, same here. That was actually the main reason I posted it. I may not agree with his sentiments myself, but it definitely is better to read his optimism than a bunch of rumors being re-posted over and over again about it being delayed.

Mine is super hard...let's follow it...

[gokken]

Well I guess the Talking Metal have good sources of their own, for example Bumblefoot etc. And they were the first ones who knew about the HD-thing and ofcourse they gets some info from HTGTH, they have said that themselves many times so.
