Guns N' Roses: Are they finally ready to release a new album?

[bringbackadler]

That article said he hired and fired 20 musicians.....

That's kind of an exaggeration, isn't it ??




*bba*

Not to mention that Slash said in VH1 BEHIND THE MUSC....."AXL DIDN'T KICK US OUT, WE LEFT HIM"......This guy said that Slash is quoted as saying the opposite.......he's a crackhead with an IQ that can barely reach room temperature. What a terrific writer...

This article is from The Independant, a newspaper over here in the UK.....

 

Guns N' Roses: Are they finally ready to release a new album?

Yay!

A letter posted by Rose on the official Guns N' Roses website revealed that the album will hit the shops this Tuesday.

Now you go back to primary school.
kinda sad that even a writer for a so called quality paper in the UK doesn't know what the word 'tentative' means.

More bullshit.           

I'd like to    in this guys mouth.            

Not just once either.                           

I'm talking like, several times.

No offense kids, but while some of his facts may have been wrong, we've got to face the truth that this album has been in the making for what? 14-15 years now?

I mean come on guys. Yeah we're all fans and supporters. But don't act shocked when some of the mainstream media runs Axl down. Some of you even sit stunned in disbelief that anyone would run down the legend and legacy that is the almighty, Axl Rose.

I've got no doubt he'll prove his detractors wrong when the album is released. But do you honestly believe the planet is going to jump up and down because Axl said it's going to be released? They've heard it a thousand times before. The difference between us and the rest of the planet is that we're more patient, dedicated, and, quite possibly, dillusional.

Now ask yourself this. If Metallica went through the same shit that GnR did, how many of us that aren't Metallica fans would be laughing our asses off at the band right now?

See....

[Skinflick]

I'm not bitter about it.....it's just that the writer was giving out information that was just not true.....hence the quote of mine a few replies above this one. If someone wants to bash.....cool. But at least bash with facts and not miqoutes that may very well be just a scumbag writers opinion. Another words, get your story straight before printing ANY article. Ya know?

It seems like it's too much to ask for when you want them to check their facts.

Yeah no shit....they seem to just wing it.......stuff like that does not belong in any newspaper....In any country.....regardless of the subject. It's unfortunate but it is reality.

#1 - I don't buy this bullshit about this album taking 14 - 15 years to make.  I'd like to find out one day the TRUTH on the accumulated total time that was actually spent really working on this album. It most certainly doesn't accumulate to 14 - 15 years man.     

Like really, give your head a shake buddy.   

Sorry but, that's a bunch of BULLSHIT!!!   

#2 - I've been literally laughing my ass off at Metallica, since Cliff Burton was killed in a bus crash. All of my friends have been laughing their asses off at Metallica right alongside of me too. Those guys are a fucking joke and ended up being greedy sell-outs in the end. They should have broke the band up and called it quits immediately after Cliff died because all of the useless crap they released after his death, can't even come close enough to hold a candle to their previous work. My opinion of these jerk-offs, went even further downhill and right off the bottom of the scale actually, after I watched their ridiculous 'self-absorbed and completely spoiled little fuckheads' documentary. Lars is just a little whiny, effeminate goofball. I have no idea how anyone can stand that moron. And James Hetfield??? Puh-lease. Do I even need to go there? That guy USED to be cool. He hasn't been a cool dude in a very long time. All of these things, including that totally greedy Napster incident, when combined together forces me to have Less Than Zero Respect for these idiotic morons.

Sorry but, comparing Axl Rose to Metallica is really just a bunch more BULLSHIT!!!     



Just my opinion and I don't expect anyone to agree with me either.               

[LordRazZ]

Hah....wow...good to see my points are still taken completely out of context.

Now, don't get me wrong, but preliminary work started on the album on what?  93 or 94? Maybe 94.

It's 2007.

That's about 13-14 years...my apologies. I was off by a year.

Ya see kid. This is like timing someone who's masturbating with dial up.

Granted, they spend most of their time waiting for the pic of their sister to load up on the screen.

But you've got to understand. The little brother wanting to play Warcraft doesn't care how long it's takin' big bro to download a pic, or how much actual time his hammer was in his hand.

All he knows is that it's been half an hour, and that's about 25 minutes too long.

See what I mean now?

Nah..probably not.

Wow. That's twice in a row I've compared Axl Rose to jerk offs. Sorry boss....

That's funny -

[AxlRose4eva1]

People are very defensive here about Axl. ?I dont blame him if youre posting on this board chances are Axl has meant a lot to you, but I think that when the album is released there will be a lot of junk articles like this and most will be far worse. ?Im just hoping that people will be able to take it. ?The more of these articles the better, its when they dont write stuff its time to worry. ?

His Metallica post was right. ?If Hetfield broke off an started his own band called metallica, even after the black album, and then still hadnt released a new album, and did all the stuff Axl has done we would be laughing at him. ?This writer has been influenced by other writers who were probably influenced by other writers...its a chain like the childhood game of telephone. ?Rumors become facts, fantasies become rumors, and lies become truths. ?Its what happens. As fans we just have to be educated, deal with it, tell people who write this shit that they are wrong, but dont be assholes about it. ?If someone writes this guy and tells him about the first new GNR tour or that Axl has probably used about 15 artists, most of whom are still in GNR. ?No reason to beligerant about this stuff, at least hes interested enough to write this, i think a lot of people just dont care anymore.

[ppbebe]

If Metallica went through the same shit

Who'd give a shit. 

Yet if any journalist gives  negative and false info on anybody, they well deserve my great disrespect.

Sorry boss....

What's your fucking problem man???             

First off, I ain't your fucking kid and I'd appreciate you not calling me a fucking kid.     

Got that one fucking right?   

I sure as hell ain't your fucking boss, so don't be calling me that either.   

Lastly, you're points weren't taken out of fucking context by me. Axl sure as fuck, has not actually spent 13, 14 or even 15 fucking goddamned years actually working on this album and you should be able to figure that out on your own. How the fuck would you know anyway? This is just completely ridiculous guesswork on anyones part to calculate real fucking man-hours spent on this project. Unbelievable that anyone would actually believe that kind of fucked-up bullshit.

I have a tiny problem with people who pass themselves of as journalists and just don't care enough to check a few simple facts.

It's not like they're writing for some unknown little local newspaper....

No reason to beligerant about this stuff, at least hes interested enough to write this, i think a lot of people just dont care anymore.

They write what they're told to write about. I think they're just interested in getting the job done as fast as possible and get paid.

Also....people have to keep in mind that when AFD was released in 87'...there were a lot of junk articles at first as well.....until everyone started to love them.....then the writers from those same junk articles did an immediate about face.......Negativity sells until someone drops the hammer.....hypocracy is unavoidable with these people in this business.

What he said...

[markpeterhughes73]

I'm quite surprised that The Independant ran a story on GNR actually. ?I've always seen that paper or rag as a Financial Times paper so any mention of GNR good or bad is COOL in my eyes. ?Imagine you were into GNR in the 80s and suddenly you pick up this rag and see the name GNR in it. ?Don't know about you people but I for one have followed for donkeys years and any PUBLICITY is PUBLICITY. ?I never knew of GNR ever being GOOD BOYS back then so maybe the youth of today needs to realise that they are into GNR because of what they were then. ?GNR today are yet to live upto what they were. ?When I was 16 or so GNR filled the gap in my life and who gives a F**k what anyone thinks. ?Rock music is about rebelion and since when do we want honesty, reliabilty or even truth. ?What made you all into GNR in the first place. BAD PUBLICITY is EXCELLENT!!!!!

F**k the world, because the world F**ks YOU!

I agree with you. All Im saying is that at least theyre being told or choosing to write about about Axl (whether the journalist was told or it was their idea, some journalists have freedom others dont). Most journalism is biased, skewed, and ill-informed.  However, I guess I belong to the any press is good press.  Axl is a polarizing figure, if hes still polarizing that means he still has power and is still important.  I like seeing stuff like this, its being reported as news not "where are they now" or nonsense like that.  It approaches the article like its readers care about the Axl story, even if its bullshit it makes Axl sound important and might remind some people of him and maybe get new people to check out this "crazy assholes music that hes been working on for 15 years."

By not being beligerant i just meant to eachother and if you write people like this.  If you write someone like this and are like "AXLS GOD I KILL YOU BITCH etc.." theyre not going to read it and probably be more inclined to write this shit.

What exactly is false in this article?  The 20 band members thing?  Well...none of us know for sure if that's true or not.  The March 6th date?  Well...maybe it would help if that was removed from the band's website.
