Gunsnroses.com updated with CD update

[freedom78]

It says the new "Better" was pulled due to management...who is the management?

[PigeonOfSh!tMetal]

Yeah the place that hosted the leak also said they were contacted by management.

[Crowebar]

CD is beginning to feel like the biggest hoax in the music industry...next to Milli Vanilli.

"I think that's a bunch of bullshit, ma' self..."    to quote Jim Morrison.   

The album is obviously going to be released at some point and it's ridiculous to think that way.

And before anyone slams me for this, I've been a GNR fan since day one. I've waited a long time for this.

I think this album's going to end up being something very special and will surprise TONS of Axl Rose naysayers.

[Mustapha]

Save your money to Xmas 2007...

[Krispy Kreme]

Let's summarize what we know.

The album is finished being recorded, which is good news, as in: a finished recording is better than a non-finished recording.
The mixing and mastering could take anywhere from one day (!) to one year (!).
The album will not be out on March 6th.

Everything else is idle speculation.

Thus, the update is good news, but really did not tell us that much.

[RageNirvanaNIN]

lol 1 year of mixing? you're getting crazy... 

A decade of recording YOUR GETTING CRAZY hahahah.... Honestly with Axl niche of wanting everything perfect the tentative release date is out I see a summer or pre-christmas release..

[CAFC Nick]

I think that they can tour without CD again, as long as CD has a definite date thats set in stone.

[Sober_times]

I see them going on this part of the tour without cd being released. Than after this leg they take a break, release the album and tour the U.S. again just after a summer release of chinese democracy.

I just noticed that the title of this thread is "Update on official WEBISTE regarding CD status:


That's funny.  I love it when this big threads that alot of people are reading and commenting on have a mis-spelling in the title like that.  Priceless.

The mixing and mastering could take anywhere from one day (!) to one year (!).
The album will not be out on March 6th.

I might add that Axl said it takes about 8 weeks for an album to hit the shelves once it's been turned over to the record company.

I assume the album will be mastered before it will be turned in.

Taking that into consideration, the minimum amount of time needed for the release is x + 60d, with x > 1d.


Therefore, the album won't come out in March, period.

[bazgnr]

All these media sources need to start using some current pictures.  If I see one more VMA's-era Axl pic alongside a new story about GnR or the album...sheesh.

I think x = 14.

Well, I'm just going to be Negative Nancy.  This is bullshit.

How many "delays" and "scheduling conflicts" and excuses do we have to hear about? 
If it's done, then get it out. 

I think it's wrong for them to go on tour again and make more money off the fans without any definitive plans for the release. 

As for those who thought it would actually be out in March; I told you so!

[JimMorrison4]

Delayed again? I'm shocked.

[Axlfreek]

I will always support axl rose and the decisions he makes. if he needs more time to put this thing out, then so be it.

good things come to those who wait.

What a special moment this must be for you. 

[BBF Rocks]

Well, I'm just going to be Negative Nancy.? This is bullshit.

How many "delays" and "scheduling conflicts" and excuses do we have to hear about??

it's "fans" with opinions like this that make me feel sick. instead of seeing it as guns n' roses are finally out there again rocking for the fans, you see it as they are trying to take our money. disguisting...

[Perfect Criminal]

We went from a tentative release date to no release date.  The news sucks.     Prior to finishing recording they could give us a tentative date, right?  Now that the recording is done they can't give us a new date (tentative or otherwise).

Don't you guys see Axl is setting us all up again for another nostalgic act cash grab tour.  It's amazing we keep falling for the same thing over and over again.  Sickness.

In principal I agree with you. ?But was it not Axl who suggested the album was dangeled as a means to promote the last tour, and that was insane to do to the fans? Merck also hinted at a cash grab to keep the band "alive" . So I don't think that idea should be as repulsive as you suggest, since both Axl and Merck hinted at it. 

As for me, I don't see it as stealing....if GNR is playing in my area, I am there and Axl would not be stealing a dime from me!!

the only thing that is SICK, which makes me madder than anything else, is when ungrateful "fans" complain about guns n' roses going on tour to "take our money". i'm SO tempted to insult you but i won't sink to that level. just know that axl doesn't need to "take our money", and he has given us more than enough in the last year for us to be happy, so keep your money obsessed negativity to yourself.
