8 Weeks to Go

[slashsbaconpit]

I think Axl likes to build suspense.?

That's obvious. He's been doing that for years. What he doesn't apparently like to do is release albums named Chinese Democracy. 

Seriously, I'm excited. At least he committed to letting us know as soon as possible a more concrete date.

[slashsbaconpit]

I think some people would not be happy unless there was hourly updates from Axl on the state of the album?

That would be nice!

[robd788]

I know I am new here and you all probbly think my opinion means nothing.  As far as Axls letter goes he stated that he will let us know if their is a delay.  As there has been no update we must assume everything is on track.  Just because their is no date on Universals website and some spokesman in Canada has no info doesnt mean that axl hasnt submitted CD to Universal for all we know he may have already.

 And even though you are the king, the fans and posters here are all people too who deserve the same respect that you wish to be treated with.

This is actually a pretty good and fair point and observation.

Perhaps /jarmo needs a self-induced banning/vacation for a week or two???

You know, get some sun, drink some beer and live your life.

Forget about this shit for a bit and come back here fully re-charged.

I don't know why... but I have a feeling that it will be turned in today...

[ppbebe]

maybe yesterday maybe tomorrow

I think some people would not be happy unless there was hourly updates from Axl on the state of the album 

I doubt it.  I can see those people still finding something to whine about in the content of each update.

I bet they are happy to moan.

I run a GN'R fan site because I enjoy doing it.

Most of the time, it's fun. It's just certain moments that's not as fun as the rest. I don't like banning people. But I know I have to in order to keep some kind of order.

If I didn't enjoy doing this, I'd stop.

Simple as that.


I went to North America in November and had the time of my life. Last year was amazing and it's all because of this site and the band it's dedicated to. I saw new places, new faces, old friends and had a great time.

I don't really think I want a break from all that....

Axl does what he likes to do, and most of the times, it doesn?t match with what other people likes..

If Axl wanna jump down in the crowd and punch a guy..He does it

If Axl wanna ?wait a little moore to finish the album, he does it...

When it comes, it comes...And i really hope that they cnacelled the tour to work on the album, and i hope they made good progress..Because the reason the tour stopped was lame..When your?e going on a tour...Don?t make other plans while beeing on the road !

Here, here.  As far as I'm concerned, activity on the boards supports the other activities you do regarding the band - Going to show's, enjoying the music, meeting other fans etc etc.  I think some people have the priorities in the other direction

2006 was amazing and full of positive things for GNR and us too.

Toronto was a kickass show for sure.

And, I'm sure that you don't like banning people as it must suck the dog-bone pretty badly.

All I've been trying to say to you and everyone on here is that it's really not worth getting bent out of shape over any of this shit man.

You are included in that sentiment /jarmo, even though it's a necessary evil for you to have to maintain law and order around here.

I just wish everyone would calm down a bit and relax as Axl said what he said and all we can do is believe the guy and wait and see what happens.

Like fuck man, if Axl doesn't live up to what his letter stated (and who really gives a flying fuck if Beta drafted it up for him anyway??? That's her fucking job, as Axl's aide. ) there'll be plenty of time afterwards for all the lame-ass negative fucks to complain and complain and bitch and whine and moan. Right???

I must admit this last two months has been painful and slow and i predict another month before the activity starts up, what i am looking forward to is a packed out summer and actually being out following the band again whereever thay may be this time

[ppbebe]

How could the last two months, dec and nov of 2006, of the shows and the news including the axl letter be painful and slow for a fan who had gone through 2003 to 2005?

[Disco Volante]

"We do hope you can hold on just a bit longer, and if not, please take a break and we?ll be more than glad -- if you so choose -- to see you again later."

because i had just come off a big high with everything and then i knew i wouldnt be seein them live again for 6 months see for me my little tour started 7th June and Ended 13th November with obvious breaks between but knowing i would see them very soon, now its a wating game again

ah fuck it i know what i mean

You mean you're spoiled.

This is why Axl's letter doesn't make complete sense if you were take him literally as he has explained matters.

In his 'open' letter, Axl outlines how the final four remaining shows are to be canceled for the sake of Chinese Democracy.? He then says that it takes 8 weeks for an album to be given a proper launch.? But if you look at when the last concert was to be played, it's Jan. 16th, a full week after the needed date to hand in the album for it to be out for March 6th.? Why would they cancel the remaining four shows if most of the loose ends were going to be done by Jan 9th?? Of course, this is all under the assumption that it takes a full eight weeks from album submission to retail sale.?

Actually, it does make sense.  Just because an album is finished doesn't mean it's finished.  Once the album is handed over ot the label, a lot of other things need to be done like artwork (for the album and publicity shots), promotion photography, video, singles and b-sides.  Axl will more than likely want to sign off on everything, hence the extended availibility to do so.

You mean you're spoiled.?

What because i spent my hard earned money to follow a band i have loved since the eighties and through my childhood past all the silent years to be treated to what happend last year. Err No 

[ppbebe]

To me, as a current GNR fan the last year was the most fruitful one ever. What more wonderful is that the more beautiful things are ahead of us. 

Adler_Sorum_Brain, People tend to think everything is on axl but I think otherwise. I guess the record company whatever label it might be, has its own agenda that can oppose that of axl/the band.

[bringbackadler]

I wonder when Bach said " I know when Chinese Democracy is coming out",  if he also was told that 3/6/07 is the "tentative day".

If I were a bettin man I'd have to go w/ closer to June, possibly right around the beginning of summer. Maybe a single in late March/early April.  But, that is just my opinion, guess, or hypothesis. I, along w/ the rest of you, really have no clue.

But, here's to praying that 3/6/07 is really the day !!!

[Joblow]

WoW, what a bunch of tools we all are to this man... he says a date and everyone here automatically says "but it will probly be another 2 weeks after this date". If the man says something he should stick by his word.
