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

[Skinflick]

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.

The fact that Slash n company left Axl.....which is true.....and not the other way around.......which is a false statement. Watch vh1 btm and you will see.

There's lots of shit that's blatantly false in the article Danny.

There's as many false facts in it as there were in your faxes.....

Like WHAT is blatently false? ?This?

The album was originally due to appear in 1996 but was delayed, according to Rose, because of the departure of long-standing band-mates Duff McKagan and Slash. Rose claimed they had left of their own volition, though Slash and McKagan maintain that they were forced to leave after the singer, who has ownership of the band's name, began treating them like a backing band.

It doesn't say that Slash and Duff were fired. ?It says that they were forced to leave because they didn't like how they were treated. ?Isn't that pretty much true?

I'm not trying to bust balls here. ?I'm just trying to figure out what's so false here.

I don't know if the article was wrong or not. But I also won't take what the other band members in BTM say as gold, either.

Kept Mick Jagger waiting for 3 hours!

That is Classic!

A letter posted by Rose on the official Guns N' Roses website revealed that the album will hit the shops this Tuesday. But as long-standing GNR fans know, this isn't the first occasion that the release of Chinese Democracy, described by The New York Times as "the recording industry's most notorious white elephant", has been announced.

The same letter mentioned above also says:

With that being said, this is not a promise, a lie or a guarantee, but we do wish to announce a tentative release date of March 6. This is the first time we have done this publicly for this album. Others have made up all the other dates for their own reasons.

The album was originally due to appear in 1996 but was delayed, according to Rose, because of the departure of long-standing band-mates Duff McKagan and Slash.

As far as I remember, Axl never said he'd release an album in 1996. That was Duff and others who claimed so.

He said there would be a new album when he announced Slash was out of the band. It didn't mention when.

and a new release date was set for 2000, but, once again, nothing appeared.

No, they hoped it would be out in 2001.

Rose's big comeback came in 2002, when he performed at the MTV awards, but he looked out of breath and struggled to sing in tune. The following year, Guns N' Roses announced their first tour in a decade, though it was clear that Rose still hadn't mended his ways. He failed to show up to two shows and was arrested in a state of severe inebriation in Stockholm.

There was no tour in 2003, which followed 2002.

No mention of the successful 2006 European tour and lots of references to the "crazy Axl". Shit that happened in the 1980s/90s....



Poorly researched article.

duff and axl split on good terms...and duff quit in 97 i think...check out the articles on the HTGTH main page its in there somewhere

Slash and axl had creative differences....also it was written that Duff walked out on slashs snakepit material before axl if i recall the interview correctly

as for 20 band members...that could be true i never counted

lets see......since 1996 - axl, slash, duff, paul tobias, matt, dizzy, robin, fortus, bh, bbf, tommy, brain, frank, freese, pitman, othres who may have (or did) record stuff....gary sunshine, dave navarro, Zakk Wylde, Brian May

thats 19.....

Ok.  Cool.  Thank you for that.  I was pretty confused on the dates and years...as was this reporter, apparently.  You're right.  This is a pretty poorly written article.

[Crowebar]

Fukkin' rights it's a poorly written article!!!     


MOST of them are poorly researched and written and only used as a vehicle to bash Axl every chance they get.   

[ppbebe]

any journalist worthy of the name would be more interested in probing into the reasons why others have made up all the other dates and in who made them up.

[Axl8302]

whats cool about this is not the article, but axl is on the front page of the paper. 'the return of guns n roses' with the man next to it.

[gnrbacik]

People have to get over the fact that not everyone in the world is a GNR fan.  Who gives a fuck?   At least there was an article about GNR.  This is how "nonfans" see the band.  They don't know everything that true GNR fans know.  They haven't been following the band like the true fans.  So get the fuck over it.  Image the shit your going to read once the albumn comes out.

[slane92]

March 6th.??

One click of a mouse to GNR official site and you see Del James update on the albums status. "No official release date yet as the band is currently mixing."

Thats sloppy journalism by any standards.

TRUE

[bringbackadler]

A brief statement from Axl addressing "where we are" with Chinese Democracy would prevent alot of this shit journalism.

I mean, I know Del James pretty much told us that via the official site, but I think it would be better and get out to more people if Axl were to actually say something.

That's ok though Axl, I'm definitely buying the album regardless of when it comes out !? ?
