The CD release date rumor / speculation thread

[Backslash]

I'm not going anywhere near a store on December 24 (too many people), so Edward, I hope your theory is wrong.

Yeah but you could just wake up early and be the first in the door. problem solved?

and 4000 other people share my logic. ?

MTV.dk(Denmark) reports:

Guns N?Roses udskyder album endnu engang
Heller ikke 2006 ser ud til at blive ?ret, hvor det l?nge ventede Guns N?Roses album, ?Chinese Democracy?, ser dagens lys. Albummet, der efterh?nden har v?ret p? vej i tolv ?r, kan s?ledes tidligst ventes p? trapperne i for?ret 2007. ?rsagen til udskydelsen er uvis, men dog skulle b?de bandets pladeselskab, Universal Records, og Axl Rose v?re enige om, at der mangler en udgivelsesdato. Men vi venter p? den (og pladen) kan det konstateres, at de personer, der har haft mulighed for et gennemlyt, i fl?ng kalder den et mesterv?rk, heriblandt Sebastian Bach fra hedengangne Skid Row.

It basically says that we earliest can expect CD in spring 07. They say that they dont know why its been postponed.... And Seb Bach had heard the record and it should be a masterpiece...

This is the exact same story about "no indication of CD" recycled from Universal Canada.  The Bach part comes from a non-existent Rolling Stone article.

ditto to velimir. Why some are so unstable?

Merk says:

- "...there are ___ Tuesdays left..." (But he doesn't say it will be released on a Tuesday, does he. Furthermore, why do? we to assume he's talking about the U.S. schedule of releases?)

Didn't he say it would be released on one of those tuesdays somewhere? And common sense would say he was referring to the us. (and well maybe to the talk having been around about the release date .)

You're quite right ppbebe, he said at one point theres x tuesdays left in 2006 and the album will come out on one of them?

I think Merck is wishing he never said that...

[ppbebe]

Do many record stores open on sundays?

You're quite right ppbebe, he said at one point theres x tuesdays left in 2006 and the album will come out on one of them 

cheers for backing it up, AL.

[inho]

ever feel like you've been had?
 

[sjgotnitro]

Come on guys lets not lose hope yet. 12-19 is the date.   

[Lara]

The album will not be released this year.

The album will be released this year.

That's the confirmation I was talking about 

[ppbebe]

absolutely.

Maybe I'm an optomist and maybe I just want to believe...but I still hold out hope for 2006.

Just like a lot of people held out for November 21.  Sorry, but youre setting yourself up for dissapointment.

[damnthehaters]

GNR isn't going to have a huge promotional push.  Therefore, there is still plenty of time for a 12/5, 12/12, 12/19, or 12/26 release.  I honestly don't think Axl really cares or needs a big promotional push because GNR will "eventually" make there money as the album (if good) will "eventually" sell.  Yeah, without a huge promotional plan, they may lose out on some money right away, but they will eventually get it.  I think coming out on the top of the charts is worth more to Axl then initial album sales, and this is why I believe that the album will be released in December during one of the slower weeks.  I believe Dec 19th.

My lucky EIGHT ball said it will come out this year on 12/19/06

I would rather remain optomistic...until at least after my show.

It must be than!!!

 

[nesquik]

They need to move on. release the album, and move on. Either it's the silence before the storm (wich I hope), or something is wrong and the record won't be out this year... again.

[polluxlm]

What I wouldn't give to know what's been going on behind the scenes all these years.

It's Bold and the Beautiful, Falcon Crest and Melrose Place all at the same time

haha, yeah, just about that bad indeed.
i don't understand why they can't at least just TELL us the status of the album.
or even just a ONE SENTENCE post saying "yes the album is still coming out this year"

so many people have Merck's email address, one email is not going to kill him
i know it's not the end of the year yet, but people are getting really freaked out
for the sake of the fans and out of respect to them, it's not going to be a sin just to send one email asking for further clarification

[polluxlm]

Don't you think he would have if he was sure it would happen?

Anyone else get the feeling that the reason we hear songs like IRS, Better and TWAT at the shows is because they leaked?  If they hadn't leaked, we might have never even heard them.

I think one of them said that since they had leaked they decided they could just go ahead and play them. Can't remember if it was Ron or Robin. Most likely ron.
