The mixing of Chinese Democracy

[redx]

Is the plan to have the album mixed before the band tour?

Or

Will the band tour and recieve updates of the mixing process as they tour.
They could be supplied with completed mixes, so they can give their opinion, and say yes or no 
I'd have thought, after all these years, the band would rather hear the finished mixes in the studio itself.

Or

Is it the band has no intention of having the album fully mixed anytime soon, and simply wants to tour and string things out longer.

Well, from a business sense I guess it would be smart to play as many shows and make as much money as possible before you release the album ... then make as much money and tour as long as you can once CD is released

either way i say CHINESE DEMOCRACY before the end of the year

isn't there already a thread about this???

[smugolo]

i'm still hopefull the album will be handed over before april 14th

[GNRforever10]

My opinion is that they will tour Japan, South Africa and South America and have evryone guessing, then boom! The album drops, before they come here to America!

does anyone remember about a month ago that someone from some website said they were hangin out with dizzy and he said that the mixing would be wrapped up by the end of march?

i think it was someone on myspace if i remember correctly.

SIGHHHHHHH.............................to remain positive is good, to go overboard and think TOO much about it, draw conclusions is not. If it comes out, it'll be great to finally have it, if not, then we can always say that at least he's recorded and performed since 1993.

I still have no idea why everyone thinks the album is being mixed right now.  I don't remember seeing it on gunsnroses.com.  Did I miss an announcement or are you all going on the words of the band members?  because if you are going on the words of Dizzy Reed or something, you should all know better.  I've heard the album is being mixed every year since 2001 and none of that was true.

On the positive front, Operation Cash Grab 3 is almost here.

I don't think there's any way that anyone who just spent years of their life writing and recording an album is going to allow it to be mixed in their absence, like it's an unimportant step. I would think that if the mixing isn't done before the tour starts they'll either leave it until a gap in their schedule or mix on off-days during the tour.

Yeah, ummm.  try about 56,000 per year for the last 7 years

Yeah, unfortunately for us, bands make a LOT more money off of touring than album sales.  So no matter how good the band thinks the album is, or how badly they want to get it out to the public, they'd be fools to deny themselves the riches of touring.

Common Sense says it's a complete waist of time asking these questions since all that we can do is speculate about this and pretty much everything else.

Yeah man you're right, and when everybody on every continent is tired of GN'R they are going to tour the Moon in 2008, and anounce a tentative release date of CD on 01 april 2009  .

Ay ay ay, don?t be so pessimistic dudes!

For the band to go on the road again without a cd in stores will be career suicide for Axl and the boys.  Tickets were already sluggish, so people aren't going to be willing to hash out a bunch of cash to see the band with nothing new to offer.  Therefore, the mixing stage should be done and the band should be packaging and what not to get in stores/

[GNR4L]

I think VH1 Classic should hurry up and put out a episode for Greatest Albums Guns n Roses Chinese Democracy its a rare breed.? That's when the album comes out soon.
