According to my auntie's cat, Caesar tastes better. That suggests the saying the die is cast. Now that google search put it back to February?.

A Sure thing

[Deez Nuts]

At least someone made an token effort with this rumour!

Stardust Tears sounds a cool name for a song!

somehow when i saw "stardust tears" it reminded me of an alternate title for "the blues" cause of the "stardust on my feet"

[Dust N Rose]

good notice...
although "the Blues", seems it will be called just "Blues".

[norway]

i think thats another song than the blues we heard,?
and got a funny feelin that the blues we heard won't be on cd?

I bet he or she is a fan and read that on the net.

Me to my fellow NorthGunner!
Har en sterk f?lelse av att vi f?r h?re noe VELDIG snart!

NIN has confirmed a May 2, release for theyr new album! So i guess a GNR pressrelease is right around the corner! And Tommy said that something should happen, in the begining of the year!

[grog mug]

How do you figure it's around the corner?? It's been that way for years now....right around the corner, a hair's breath away, all the dumb shit the other band members say.? I'm just ready for the album, at least give us a probable explanation of what's going on.

[Scabbie]

do anyone anticipate it soon? i do

I'm waiting for a sign for it all to kick off...you know somethin simple like Tommy or Dizzy wearing a CD T-Shirt. Until then its difficult to anticipate

[Saul]

The words "chinese democracy" flashing on your TV set .. just like when Gabbo came to springfield on the simpsons. 

[One in a million]

A swedish newspaper, Expressen, has a list of 2005 hottest releases, CD is listed somwhere between July - December, Will 2005 be the year for Guns N Roses?

Trent Reznor is also listed with NIN, "The man who broke Axl's confidence".

[plasmabeam]

geez i hope i gets released betwen July and Dec.

[killingvector]

I will settle for any date in the Christian Era.

[Is he struggling?]

Perhaps the 'expected February 2005' notice on the google search refers to when the official website will get a proper update, in preparation for the release of C.D. 

[R. R. Dadfield]

I have a few things I'd like to say about Chinese Democracy.  I reckon the whole delays thing started out as an illogical process - caused by the breakup of the old (real) band, Axl's 'creativity problems', and the label's conviction that the whole thing was going nowhere.  By now it's become a LOGICAL process - that is, a marketing strategy designed to whip up interest ahead of release.  It strikes me, you see, that there's been a huge build-up of interest in the past 12 months, which have totally changed the situation:  the Greatest Hits, VR, Axl's unexpected apprearance in GTA.  Consequently, there has been huge coverage - unprecendent for a band that's basically done nothing for 10 years.  Here in the UK, every almost major rock music magazine has had a GNR article in the last six months - even the Beatles don't get that kind of coverage.  And there was even a picture of Axl on page 3 of the London Times, anticipating a 2005 release.

Of course, if I'm right, and the whole thing's become a way of building anticipation, then the album must be coming out at some point.  Which is obvious really, 'cause we all know it actually exists.  But what changed things was the massive success of Greatest Hits - since this as shown how well any new material would sell.  Now, in other words, Geffen (or whatever they're called) actually have a motivation to get the thing out.  Before, it was a risky project, and I guess the onlt reason Geffen kept Axl on was the profits from AfD could cover his studio costs.  but a success is cast-iron certain.  Before, based on the lacklusture sales of Live Era, and the new band's erratic concert reliability, the signs of a major profit were hidden; now it's worth pursuing Axl and making him finish the album.  Ironically VR have raised his profile too:  even in mutual contempt, he and Slash's careers are locked together.

So if it's coming out, it HAS to be this year:  public awareness is at the highest for a decade (more even that for the live shows), the material has been recorded, the record company knows it will sell big-time:  in other words, all the pieces are in place.  Leaving it longer would be pointless:  2006 would push public awareness, and board-room patience down again.

Don't expect a tour though:  that's another matter.
