Gunsnroses.com updated with CD update

[BBF Rocks]

just for the timeframe sake... Ozzy is just starting the mixing of his next album, which will be out in early june...
so i guess a late April or May release is possible for GNR..

yeah but it's of course each up to each band how much mixing they want done, how many tracks they need to work on (as far as mixing goes) etc so it's impossible to say

[Ganja4Life]

may or june are now looking alot more likely for the albums release

What makes you so optimistic?

what makes you so pesemistic?

It's called realistic.

I don't get it...I see June being a possibility..maybe by my b-day the 18th..who knows?

it must be horrible living with your glass half empty   june is realistic man!

[Bartlet]

Anybody know how long anyone other than gnr took to master their albums back in 91? have tehnological advances really sped the process up?

Great question I would also love to know the answer to that

[bringbackadler]

I think the possibility of this being a double album will keep the album from hitting the streets for at least another 3 to 4 months.

And that's being hopeful. ? ?

yeah, i just said it to make some kind of timeframe it can take to mix a big album. Well, we dont know for sure what to come, if it will be double or what.. so yeah, it could take even longer.. But at this stage i belive it looks like a spring/early sumer release.. With the world tour and everything. The feeling that they making things happen as we speak, is enough for me

if thats the case, i'd say june 2008

[flicknn]

mixing and mastering does no take 3 months to accomplish , it is a matter of days.for all we know it could be finished already

How would we know?   

Axl's whole Modus Operandi on this project has for the most part, been completely shrouded in confusion and mystery.   

Nobody within the GNR camp EVER gives much useful info on what's actually going on behind the scenes. 

For all any of us know, Axl could have a big surprise up his sleeve for the whole world and is actually planning on releasing 3 CD's at the same time.

Something of mind-blowing proportions, that would end up topping all of his previous efforts. 

Think about it for a minute people because I believe that something like this might actually happen and wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Let's face it, with Axl Rose, anything's possible.   

I'm probably wrong though and this is merely wishful thinking on my part but, it would be cool if it happened!   

[Yesterday]

Ok we have an update, and my guess is no CD on 03/06/07.  But it is close and as stated numerous time with Axl anything is possible.  Atleast they are updating the site.

this site provides a pretty good overview of what a mixing process actually is since it seems a lot of people have misconceptions about it. ?It also tells about the different approaches to mixing and how some albums are mixed while recording and other albums dont even start mixing and adding effects and such until after all recording is done. ?Whichever approach GNR did and how much mixing has actually been done already will determine when the album is ready to be mastered. ?If the album is just starting to be mixed or in the early process (which the demos sounded like) then I would guess that this could be rather lengthy due to the different producers affiliated with this and Axl's perfectionism.

One month seems to be about the norm for albums right now in the mixing process (mastering can be done in 24 hours). ?However, who knows what phase of mixing they are at, if they are just having a producer/engineer do it or if Axl is working with them. ?I would say any guess about the albums release date is just that. . . a guess.

[AxlsMainMan]

A guess indeed.

But my guy is telling me an end of June/ beginning of July release

[AxlRose4eva1]

A guess indeed.

But my guy is telling me an end of June/ beginning of July release

mid summer releases tend to be avoided by the record company and itll be their ultimate decision when to release it.  My guess is itll be ready by end of june but not released till around september...  One bad thing is that while mixing takes most bands a month (GNR usually takes longer than most bands), from what ive seen is most bands who began mixing an album this january or february have release dates for their albums spanning from mid april till fall.  Even bands like Rush who take 30 days to record an album take a month to mix it, so itll be interesting to see what happens.  One thing we can say definitively though is it wont be out early march (didnt think it needed to be said, but a lot of people keep saying "with axl anythings possible"),

Most people would say "recording and releasing an album does not take 10 years to accomplish"... 

[AxlsMainMan]

I think he probably wants to get it out as soon as humanly possible at this point just as much as the rest of the guys in the band, but with any business, all it takes is one guy to be sick, or on holidays until next week, and the whole damn project falls behind

[Verse Chorus Verse]

I don't care what the pessimistic people say. It can't take another 13 years to mix an album, so the album has to come out soon or a later.

[grog mug]

CD updates are pretty much meaningless.  I like the sounds of this one though, so the hope is still there.  Hopefully thats the case with everyone else as well.

[pilferk]

So, Pilferk and 4eva, it looks like Axl probably did renegotiate the original gnr contract in 1998. The beginning of the new Gnr era. Hmmmmm.

That's always been the speculation...that he renegottiated right around the time of Live Era.
