2006 or 2007?

[1badapple]

I'm not saying that i'll be done with GnR, that'd be crazy. I've loved this music for far too long to just walk away from it. However, I won't be buying  ANY GnR merchandise, including concert tickets, until the cd comes out.

2005 is the year of guns n roses

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.

erm... did you not have that in 2002?

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

2007 sounds good to me.

[creepingvines]

i'd be content with either.  be it the album or a date, and i mean an actual specific day on the calendar, in plain english, in 2006, i'll be thrilled.  otherwise, i guess i'll just keep waiting.  what else is there to do?  getting to see them in 2006 period was cool.  even without an album or so much as a peep in regards to a release date from here on out, best year for gnr fans in quite a while.

I'm still hoping that Axl had the sense not to say 'It's coming out this year' unless he was absolutely 100% certain, considering the damage to the band's reputation that all the previous false starts have caused.

You're not serious are you? There is ZERO possibility it will be out a week from today.

I'm going with the 5th of never.

[GNFNR_UK]

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

Rush it out??! Are you serious??! If it comes out tomorrow it has not been rushed in any way shape or form, this album has been in the making since 1999 for crying out loud! That really is more than enough time to get the songs to 'where they need to be'. I'm sorry but we can't make any more excuses for Axl on the delay, he's just a perfectionist to the point where it is obsessive it would seem. Also while there is no album Axl is still considered a 'legend' rather than a 'has been' in the eyes of the media, I guess he likes it that way, who wouldn't? What I mean is if the album flops (Which is highly doubtful) he would lose A LOT of credibility, so naturally he is being EXTRA careful! I've been a fan of Guns since the late 80's and have been waiting to hear something from Axl since like '93 so of course i'm gonna ride it out and I have no doubt in my mind that the album is going to be EXCEPTIONAL, but my prediction for release date -

Summer/Fall 2007 (Let's face it they've waited this long, why not capitalize on the 20th anniversery of AFD?!)

you wanna bet on CD is NOT going to come out in Nov.

[GeraldFord]

12006

[Grass]

2008

If we're lucky.

My prediction: we'll get the record a year or two following Axl's death.  However long it takes for the lawyers to sort the rights out with his estate.  Morbid but realistic. 

[supaplex]

i don't care anymore. whenever they decide to put it out i'll buy it. until then i'll come here waiting for any piece of news. i remeber everybody was sure about a release in march 2006 like slash said. maybe he got the wrong year. i don't care.

[Meanmachine22]

give me a date and i stop bitching
Pretty simple

I said egzactly the same thing in summer 2002!
Back then I said, Summer/fall 2003, and people were "ROTFL-ing" becuase they tought that 2002 was the year.

if not released in december 2006, I have no idea when it might be released since its obvious that there's no logic behind it all.



And to all the people who say that the record company is holding the release...
How many times did we hear that the record company is actually rushing the release, and is threatening the band to release the album already.

I think the record company is just as eager to get CD out of its hair since its been nothing but trouble so far.

[Janabis]

If it doesn't come out in 2006 like Axl and Merck claimed it would, then I really doubt it will come out in 2007 either.

[russtcb]

Good thing for you it's coming by the end of the year then huh?

[guns_n_motley]

Ill still buy it whenever it comes out, but I could care less about GNR if axl doesnt put the cd out this year, 2006... Im done with following this band.. theres tons of other bands who put out cds when they say they do, and talk to their fans..
