Gunsnroses.com updated with CD update

[Disco Volante]

Nice to get an update.  Looks like CD will actually see the light of day "soon" this time!

[gnrjanus]

Let's hope the mixing has already begun, but we can only hope, not I guess all left to be done is.

Mix the album
get the right package and stuff.
Getting a single out+video
some promotion.
tour like not much but a few dates. like a warm-up show with some more songs(if they are planning to add new songs to the shows)
and then the album

[vicente]

"Drummer Frank Ferrer and guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal integrated themselves into the recordings seamlessly and will have their presence felt."

So, does this mean Brain is out?
Or we will have two drummers on the album?

Vicente

[gnrjanus]

We'll find out soon I guess.

If Brain won't tour with them this year, and Cd comes out, just look at the back of the cd and find who's drumming.

I always believed when they said Brain is out for family stuff.

I'f he realy feels like GNR is his thing he should be back now. or take his family with him on the road.

And I thought that tellnig brain was out only make things take longer so I guess they could have wnanted for things to run smoothley now.
I think Axl told them like Now it's time to work your ass of this album needs to be out soon.

[Randy Jesus]

You know, I thought there was at least two or three different people claiming to be mixing the New Guns N Roses Album. Perhaps Each has their alloted songs and this could be a faster process than we think.

BTW it is nice to have other members besides Axl on the front page!

[CAFC Nick]

Good news definitely.

Although if they had aimed to get it released around March 6th, this really should have been done several weeks ago. Nevermind that though, I'm extatic!

Just hope the mixing and mastering isn't too long and strenuous and we should hope for that badboy to be handed over to the label within 3 weeks(? possibly).

[doooodickiebr]

dont beleive it yet boys and girls!

[RoCoKiN]

This is starting to sound like it is going to be "fall, late fall" again!


Then again...maybe Axl is purposely trying to release Chin Dem when Velvet Revolver's new one comes out and then we will have a battle of the bands to end all battle of the bands.  Now that's what I'm talking about!

[CAFC Nick]

Well, what stage is VR's album at? Thats due out in June...

[shootingstar]

you people who are saying 8 weeks are crazy... blind and naive...

There's mixing and mastering to be done.
I dont think that they'd rush it at the last few steps. Taking into account, that they have a tour, they'll probably try to finish mixing by end of march, and choose the best mixes. while they are on tour, the "8 week process" will begin.
that leaves us with 8 weeks of touring, and assuming that the tour starts mid april, the album would be out no sooner than early/mid june.

which is perfectly fine by me...
also the mixing has been ongoing for a while now, since bumblefoot mentioned the "mixing crew" in his last adress.


if I were to be optimist, i'd say that the "finishing' touches were done on only a few tracks, while the others might have already been mixed for the end of last year scheudled release, and have been waiting since.
still no album before may.

Agreed. It?s probably those tracks that BBF and Frank have added something to that are in for final mixing.. We have had a few mixing rumours from pretty trustworthy sources so that makes sense. I would guess it is about 2-4 tracks that hasn?t been mixed yet so.. I would say mid/end of may

[KaptainKuntra]

I doubt VRs album is as complex recording as CD sounds, no disrespect to them. I'd hazard a guess at CD coming out late May, early June if no other problems surface. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong though and it will be out sooner.

Well, what stage is VR's album at? Thats due out in June...

[Jimmy?]

I agree with some of the posts above. "Mid-May" to "Early-June" makes sense as we all know they're at the mixing stage now. That's plenty of time for promotion, single etc. Although it could well be after this leg of the world tour. Which could well be "Early-June" time.

and then the album

1. Mix the album - Axl not happy -  back to the drawing board - or Axl is happy and:
2. Get the right package and stuff - I think the cover photo was decided on years ago. So step 2 is  easy
3. Getting a single out+video - Get the album out and then decide on a single and video, as that could take years 
4. Some promotion. - This no good, look what happend to Merck. Axl wants the best promotion on offer + more 
5. The band is past warming up. There touring agin already. They just need to keep going until it's time to hit the UK again.

[BaDoBsEsSiOn418]

I don't know whether I should feel optimistic or disappointed by this update.   

[Gunner17]

Disapointment, at least for me.

[jarmo]

Mixing. Mmmk.

"Certain minor, and by that I do mean minor adjustments", eh? 

Just sayin...

Nowhere does it say those adjustments have taken up until now to finish.


There is no official release date, as the band is currently mixing, but after some delays and scheduling difficulties, things appear to be moving along.

Once again you're assuming it's all up to the band....

i think its fantastic theyve confirmed the album is completed, some shows have been announced for japan, and that the band will start touring by april 14th so the album shouldnt be too far behind

[dENIS]

Ok, new tour is comming soon. If recordings are ready maybe there is possibillity to hear new songs?

[Journeyman]

i think its fantastic theyve confirmed the album is completed, some shows have been announced for japan, and that the band will start touring by april 14th so the album shouldnt be too far behind

I agree with you. I believe the album will come out late april/mid may...lets cross our fingers!

[JDA]

yeah, nice there has been an update, but I hope it's not a brief mention before a long spell of nothing

I guess that means theyre touring again with no new album?

Yeah!!!!!! Boring!!!!!!
