rumours of the bands whereabouts / Axl in Vegas

[jarmo]

also, i agree that it isn't just up to the band regarding a cd's release date. however, if a band gives a date for a release and then someone says that it isn't just up to the band regarding the release date, then giving a release date is meaningless unless the band knows that everything is done and ready to go. any business owner (in this case, axl) should be held accountable for the things he says about his company.

Obviously a band wants the album as soon as possible. But maybe the record company says "sorry, we need more time".

Are you gonna blame the band if that happened?

There's a lot of things that are outside the band's control. That's why there's record companies.

On the bright side:

Axl is working and playing.  Health is important.  The "muse" must be sticking around.  All systems go.

im not looking to blame anyone. my point just had to do with bands/people making statements about whats going on within their band/company. if a band/company comes out with a statement about when a product is coming out, it should be reliable so we can trust them and count on what they are saying. if they continually say something and nothing happens, we begin to lose faith and trust in what they have said. its sort of like the boy that cried wolf story...

The record company also wants CD out as soon as possible to start recouping some of that bread.

dont know why people are upset. this is the exact thing axl talked about in the letter they would do. do we really know if hes laying down vocals?? the article says so, but what do they know really.

March 6 was always sort of unrealistic. I always expected them to get in the studio last week/this week finish it up.

the release date will probably be around March 20 like merck said

According to blabbermouth, the Las Vegas review is reporting Axl is in town laying down vocals at a local recording studio-maybe someone can provide the link here-I'm no computer person-sorry-good or bad news-he's still laying down vocals? More new songs?

[pilferk]

IF IT'S TRUE....

It's probably the "very minor additions" he talked about in his open letter.  The timeline would work out, too.

[Fingers]

Agreed-I think it's the work Merk was talking about also-I think he said 3 days worth?

[badintentions]

If he's actually just now doing that, the album won't come out on March 6th.

After it is all recorded, they still have to mix the thing. Granted it is probably already pretty much mixed, but they will have to tweak the songs with the new vocals at least.

They will also need to master it.

That is unless the "muse" decides not to show up again as it didn't all last year when he was trying to make these "minor additions". Then mixing and mastering would be the least of their concerns.

This is absolutely right. Tell me, whats wrong with just waiting until the cd is released or until we hear otherwise?

Mixing in backing vocals on a track can be VERY quickly done.  Mastering it, once it's mixed, can be pretty quick, too...

Given the dates in the letter, and the info we've gotten from "other" places (which can't be discussed here), it sounds, to me, like they're pretty much on schedule if the report is true.

To give you the benefit of my supreme calm.

Agreed, this week and last was always going to be when he headed back to the studio if the March 6th target is to be reached. Right now I think were exactly at the stage we should be. We just have to hope it gets finished this time.
