Reuters, article - Fans' appetite for new Guns album is undiminished

[dboyd13]

 Im not dissapointed other then Gun's has not been thru Dallas,Tx on the tour. I just think the media and fans should be giving a offical update from Gun's on the C.D. It has been a great year for Gun's, keep it up guys in 2007 with a release of the new music.

Am I the only one who is concerned that Merck has declined comment on a release date from both Entertainment Weekly and now Reuters both wide read news outlets?

I don't know that concerned is the word I'd use, but no. 

Frankly, however, it doesn't take Dick fuckin' Tracy to figure out why he would refuse to comment ... those of you still expecting a 2006 release would be well advised to prepare for a serious letdown.

I agree CD aint coming out this year but Merck could make a comment to the 2 media outlets in regards why it wont. They went to the effort to write and research their articles, Merck could say something. I feel that most fans would be cool with some news that an early 2007 release would happen. Axl and Merck have run their mouths to the media this year about the release in 2006. They should save face to the media and fans.

Yeah, he certainly should say SOMETHING, but it just doesn't seem to be GNR's modus operandi, unfortunately.

This tendency to say nothing is (IMO) the underlying cause of most fan unrest.  Seems an easy enough problem to remedy, but I guess the band just doesn't give two shits.  What can you do?

I agree, Ill buy the album when it comes out. Ill go see Gun's if and when they come to Texas in 2007. I just think the band should offer info about the possible delayed Release date. If C.D comes out in the next 2 weeks, I will beg Axl & Merck for a 1000 pardons and enjoy great music!!!!!

Santa Claus Starts Now!!!

I wonder what the fucking problem is with releasing the album now???


More legal issues?

My guess would be that the band wasn't ready to launch the album before the start of the tour and Universal isn't willing to launch the album in the middle of the tour.   It makes sense, it just sucks that we are left in the dark.

So a reasonable plan would be to finish off this leg, prep the album's release and start another leg of the tour.  Of course in 2004 they "hoped to announce a release date within the next few months" and in 2005 it was "the year of Guns N' Roses" and in 2006 Axl stated "it is this year"... So all you can do is sit back and watch really.

Well I'm not a disappointed fan.

Just for the record neither am I..............

neither me....

i want that album, but i want a european tour even more

It pisses me off when these guys write articles that talk about Axl firing all the original members. It's clear to everyone that Slash, Duff and Izzy all walked away on their own two feet. The only guys fired were Matt and Steven. Sloppy reporting if you ask me.

Anyway, if CD drops this year great! If not, it's just one more broken promise. No big deal. The guys in GNR are big boys, if they want to look like fools for touring under the Chinese Democracy banner with no album, that's their choice. At least there are some really great concerts being played.

Haha, I'm being quoted. Hilarious


First RS and now this. We can expect an announcement soon people. The negative news are beginning to gain momentum and GN'R has to respond to keep themselves alive.

The only announcement we can expect is for another cancelled show. I wouldn't hold my breath for an announcement about the record.
