An open letter to the fans from Axl - Discussion

[GnFnR87]

This is fucking awesome. i love Guns N' Roses. i love Axl Rose, i love all you guys. CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS....IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS!!!

[brock]

So who is managing the band now??

Is Axl gunna be like Pete Rose? ?Player/Manager? ?Do they really need a manager?!

[Axl4Prez2004]

I am fuckin blown away. ?Nobody, I mean nobody anticipated this. ?I am glad the band is together. ?In the end, that's what matters.

What I wouldn't give to know what the hell has gone on behind the scenes with this band. ?Long live Guns N' Fuckin Roses!!!!!! ?

[Chief]

HELL YES!! Finally some news from Axl, this is great stuff right here folks. Our wait is soon coming to an end!
what a surprise!!!!

[killingvector]

Is Axl leaving Sanctuary b/c he does mention management in general.

He did license the new songs to that group....

[KillYourIdols]

Anyone know how to make a countdown on Myspace?? I must have one counting down to March 6!

[SterileEyes]

This YCBM thing where someone put the file up saying he's bitching about Merck - he's bitching at the soundman, cause in case you didn't notice, his vocals sound fuckin TERRIBLE while he's actually singing. He prolly couldn't hear himself cause I've never heard him fuck up that bad ever - this is worse than the '02 VMA debacle.

But hey - that definitively dispells the 'backing track' rumors, and I'd rather hear some bad notes to prove that anyway.

[Eazy E]

It takes approximately 8 weeks for an album to hit the shelves once it has been turned in to the record company.

That means the album gets submitted by January 6th for the release date mentioned.

but my point is, is that march 6th is not official and just like this whole "fall, late fall" thing, could end up being pushed back again. ?That's my point.

It's the first time a date has been said instead of a year or season. ?Anyways, come off it... Just enjoy the news with the rest of us.

I dunno about that. We had a whole thread about this issue in which it was believed the target was Merck.

[badobessionwithaxl]

YES! Jarmo for manager!

I am in shock, yet extremely excited to the point of peeing myself.

MARCH 6th.
Finally, a date to look forward to.

So that gives them a little more than 3 weeks to submit it.

That wasn't even Axl singing at the end, it was one of the band members singing for him while he was off stage.

[badapple81]

The YCBM clip I think he's directing it at the sound man.

At the end of that show he says something to Merck like "wow you told me to go off stage that's about the first thing you got right tonight".

dude the album hasnt even been worked on for 15 years. Shut the hell up already.

The process for this album started in '98. So if you can do math, thats 8 years

Why does this thread have to turn into people attacking each other back and forth?

This part of the letter may be just as important as the tentative release date:

we hope you would please feel free to take a break and we?ll be more than glad (if you so choose) to see you again later.

 

[flicknn]

grammys are on febuary 2 nd !

What do I need to take a break for. I've been to 3 shows this year and have always believed in Axl and the band. I have never once bashed anyone in the band for any reason. If you dont believe me, check my posts.

As for others...hmm....well.

[Lara]

So...?

[PrettyTiedUp763]

Wow!  This is a suprise. It's nice to have an actual date. Thanks Axl!

[russtcb]

Getting us back to being positive and excited, I'd like to ask if anyone else was excited about the reference to "videos" being made to support the album??

I believe that is the first official mention of a video as well, is it not?
