New Single Before Tour?

[November_Rain]

I have no idea, I have no idea of how the music business works either but if as Del James told,the recording is done and they are mixing it right now, I?m pretty optimistic on a 2007 release. I don?t see this album coming in 2008 as some people say since the most important ( the recordings) part is finished.

The spring is approaching and roses have begun to put forth new shoots and buds.

These days, a new leak on the internet is pretty close to a single anyways.

Sure it is to us the net fans but not really to the general public.

"we are closer now then ever before to a CHINESE DEMOCRACY "

People Quit F'ing Saying That.  It's stupid. Assuming the album will come out sometime in the future, every day you wake up is theoretically the closest you've ever been to the release of Chinese Democracy.

I'm with the original starter of this thread: If there's no single BEFORE this tour begins, I think we're looking at a long delay. So, that gives us until sometime in April, right. Cross your fingers.

[Jimmy?]

That's assuming we get a single 

Hope so 

[creepingvines]

a new single before the tour would be awesome.  here's hoping we are really getting close.  not to downplay the importance of the fanbase worldwide, but do you guys think they would take a break and come home to the states for the album release if it happens during the tour?  i wonder what "proper promotion" includes in the eyes of the band and the label.  i'd love to see huge ass billboards everywhere and shit.

Well I'll tell you this much. If we don't hear anything before the next tour, we might as well just put this entire forum in the "Dead Horse" section.

I think everything has officially been said and done on our part. I feel for the mods here, who probably spend more time deleting threads than sleeping.

You've got to figure, we've been having the same convo's since at least '99.

I wonder how long Universal will wait until they start some kind of legal process.

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

what strikes me is not the fact that we are still waiting ...

but that people can *still* be upset and analyzing axl's words and saying " this is the last straw, it's never gonna come out "
you got to realize that CD is going to come out WHEN it comes out.


" If we don't hear anything before the xxxxx, I will say it's over " < THIS is the recurent blabbing, not axl's pseudo promises.

didnt you *get* that?

[Jackamo!]

Maybe Axl was doing what Trent Reznor did, hiding mp3's in various bathrooms during the tour- but no one found/noticed them?

a single would be cool.  Better would do great.

[TrixAreForKids]

a single would be cool.? Better would do great.

So far the newest leak doesn't seem to be getting a good response from radio listeners.

I wonder if this will have an impact on whether or not Universal decide to promote Better as the new single.

possibly.  But its pretty obvious its not a final product judging by the way things are mixed.   If its done properly, would make a kickass single.

I don't agree, it had a 70% approval rate in Houston on "The Buzz". That's pretty good after all the hype and built-up resentment for Axl after cancelling on 02 and never releasing CD.

even though they have yet to play it locally here in chicago, I've shared it with several fans and "non" fans of gnr or rock and roll.... mostly the response is about the same.. (70%)     
it took me a couple of listens to enjoy it.. I think it will be just fine as a first single..

as far as the topic, yes.. we should have the single before the tour kicks off.. IMO, 3/6 it will some how be released... I will stick with that until 3/6 at 11:59pm if I have to!

How bad would it be if they released a single and then the album was delayed again 

[floppyfish27]

how can it be delayed with no "official release date?"   

hmmm... scratching my head and I cannot even come up with an answer!!

[Loaded NightraiN]

Its kinda like: What came first... The Chicken or The Egg   

[Rhino]

if the single comes out with a video before april 14 i believe cd will come out, if  not be prepared for a long wait.

Col. Sanders came first, and he invented both.  I think he's also going to be thanked, in the liner notes.
