The CD release date rumor / speculation thread

[hpantazo]

seriously, I am sure it will be out when there will be no way for it to jeopardise Guns N' Roses future... it is Axl's & new band vision and there is a reason it is or it is not coming in 2006. listen to some other good music, watch a good movie, make love or just enjoy life... ?

? You realize how sick us fans are of hearing this reasoniong? We have been told to wait,wait,and wait some more we have been out to there concerts alot of ppl more to one this past year we have supported axl and this band.Axl is the one who was on mtv saying out this year merck is the one who posted and said out this year.I personally am sick of excuses I am sick of hearing be patient do something else.If the CD is not ready not good enough or whatever the hell else then cancel the tour carry your asses back into the studio and get it finished.

That's a good point. Why are they touring if the cd is not finished?

[demonscars]

I can't wait until many years from now someone decides to write a book that actually tells us everything that went on during this whole CD ordeal.  It'd be a good read.

Seriously though I see no chance of a 2006 release and I'm doubting 2007 already.  I don't doubt that we'll hear rumours about it coming out in 2007 though, probably directly from management.  I don't think the whole tour has been a stunt.  I do think that they had intentions of putting it out very late this year (late November/December) but something or maybe a few somethings happened and everything ground to a halt.

when and who ever told you to wait? 

Merk and Axl when they said it was coming out in 2006 and that there were only x number of tuesdays left

Then only this year. from may? They didn't even tell us to wait tho. You are waiting because you decided to do so of your own accord.

If you are not waiting then why do you keep visiting this thread and posting in it? Is merk paying you to do this?

[Mysteron]

Here?s a little rumour I heard. The source is reliable to me, but obviously to any of you it?s just more internet gossip. I live in the UK and work in the city. I know someone who works for a multinational law firm and got to talking with them. I?ll cut a long story short here (or try to). The person I spoke to is engaged to a US lawyer who works for a lot of showbiz clients. I won?t say anything more than that about my source, but here?s the scoop:

There is a significant section amongst the material that is intended to be on Chinese Democracy that was originally worked on by now departed members of the band. This doesn?t just refer to people who have been part of the ?new? guns n roses as Axl?s henchmen (eg Buckethead). This refers to the original band members, specifically Slash, who contributed to material years ago that Axl is now proposing to include on Chinese Democracy, including some of the tracks that leaked.

Now obviously Axl has been working on the album a lot himself, but the reality is, much of what has been done over the years has simply been a constant reworking of the same material, over and over again. Some of the riffs, solos etc are therefore either traceable back to Slash, or at the very least, based on material that Slash came up with.

This is causing significant problems for Axl because, although there are no court papers relating to this yet, once the album moves towards going gold, Slash?s lawyers will come down on Axl like a ton of bricks, either demanding significant remuneration from sales, or more likely, delaying the release of the album pending any court case. The bigger problem for Axl, of course, is the possible publicity, in particular, sections of the press coming to the conclusion that he can?t create on his own, and he has to rely on old material by Slash to get by.

Anyway, like I say ? take it for what you will.

Nonsense

you can be naive as you like, they said this year, that means we (the fans) are waiting, let not get into a debate on who can turn something someone said into something completely different.

it's seems like all issues such as this should've been worked out legally by now...i mean, they've had 10 years to do this shit...

but this is gnr, so i wouldn't be surprised if there is some issue with former band members wanting more money from CD...

in that case...............we're back to square one..............it'll be another 15 years before all of that gets worked out, if at all.
