2006 or 2007?

[25]

A lot of people on the board have been commenting that if CD isn't released by the end of the year then they're done with GNR, CD, the wait, etc.

Bearing that in mind, how would we feel if sometime in late December we get a concrete release date? For January or February? Given that no new information has materialized relating to the album being released this year (or even handed over to he label, or even finished) and taking into account the rumors of CD being pushed back to 2007, isn't it possible that whatever plans were in place when statements were made about the album coming this year have hit a stumbling block?

If so, this opens up a new possibility. Could we see a release date announcement and a normal promotional campaign for CD in early 2007? An end to the speculation and guesswork, replaced by the steady metronote beat of the countdown to Chinese Democracy?

At this point, which would you prefer; the possibility of CD popping up at short notice in order to make the 2006 deadline or the certainty of a definite release date (and therefore a definite amount of waiting time)?

2006 how much notice does it really need. Honestly

If GNR themselves officially  one day said the album will be released in one week or some close date. It would be all over the radio and newspapers, net etc. Any official info from the band will travel like wild fire. Trust me on this. They do not need the conventional build up.

So you're asking us if we want the album any day now or sometime in 2007...?

Gee. Umm. 

I want the album yesterday.

No, I'm asking you if you'd rather have an indefinite wait or a definite release date (even if it meant knowing for sure that you'd be waiting longer)

[Rocksteady]

A concrete release date would be great even if it would be around 2010... ?This wait and see game is getting tedious and doesn't really seem to go anywhere. The fans deserve some information even if it's gonna be bad. I really can't see anyone benefiting from this whole secrecy that surrounds this album.

The former. The quicker this CD is in my stereo the happier I'l be.

MAYBE IT'LL BE PUSHED BACK 2 SUMMER AND RELEASED ON AFD'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY

[ppbebe]

whether it's December or January I'm easy.

However, I believe in the 8 and as 2 and 6 make 8, I guess 2006 is preferable.
It's just a number tho. the luckiest one in chinese way.

[Lucky]

as long as they give a fucking date, I dont care.
give us a fucking date!
even if it's 2006 in muslim calendar...
give it already.

[2007what!]

it's funny to see these so-called fans make "threats" about being "done" with gnr and all this non-sense when you know and i know you will all come crawling back kissing axl's ass the day the record drops so just stop pretending and find something else to fill your days with in the meantime like a life, i've been a huge gnr fan since '91 and ive been to two shows with them and have waited for chinese democracy since 1999, but as much as i want the album to come out, i'd rather axl takes his time with it to make the timing perfect that rush it out and the album suffers as a consequence. axl has big plans for this new band and we as fans should support him, not threaten to stop supporting him if you don't get the record by the end of the year, like some 3 year old throwing a fit over not getting his favorite toy for christmas. keep supporting gnr through thick and thin, that's what true fans do and we gnr fans are known to be unusually loyal, we should all try to live up to that reputation.

i see post like this every day why don't just wait  i mean you will need to wait anyways so it is no diference is you or others made this silly posts.

A concrete date would be nice so you have a day to look forward to instead of wondering will today be the day

Oh God, please no.

[Adler_Sorum_Brain]

I?ll put it like this...if they give us SOMETHING this year...i?ll be please..single..a promise...something...but the album should come out this year..Christmas....All the songs are done..and soon to be mixed...If not...they are some slow motherfuckers on the GNR - camp !

[quarky]

Would love to see it this year, but I don't think it is going to happen. I guess Axl has OCD or something (seriously) and so we are unlikely to see it for quite a while.

I would of course still buy it if it comes out in 2008, 2009, or 2010, but would love to see it out tomorrow.

Given the impact of AFD and UYI, I can understand why he desperately wants to avoid a flop, but come on. The record will have to face the world/critics one day, and the longer it drags out the more expectations rise.

Hell, for me, this could easily be both the best and most dissapointing album of the year (whatever year that is).

The world needs another G'n'R album.

[JimMorrison4]

A definitive release date is impossible because there is no album. I'd just prefer that they'd stop with the bullshitting and stop trying to cause "chaos and confusion" on this board.

Didn't Axl cancel the first two shows to put the "finishing touches" on the album? What ever happened about that?

[newgnr]

2006. count on it.  unless it is officially stated by someone in the band, i.e. axl or merck, it will still come out this year.

That's a really good point, but 2006 still isn't over.. we should all just relax and wait... like someone said earlier: If it comes out next year, the year after, or whatever, we're still going to stick around, so we might as well ride the 'Chinese Democracy' rollercoaster and see what twists and turns are ahead..
