CD soon?

[Danny]

plus todays youth just has bad taste in music for the most part.

No argument here.





Although, I do enjoy laughing at Fergie.

which explains why mostly crap is selling now a days....

Well, I aggree to an extent.  If people don't like what they buy at WalMart, it's not like they can't go elsewhere to find their music.  Especially now in the digital age.

I agree with that . But the fact that they are going to wal mart to buy music also is why most of the shit that sells is nothing but crap.

name one band that has came out with a descent album besides " Hell yeah "

CLutch and NIN

It didn't take us long to go from a tentative release date back to soon. 

Besides, what does soon mean anyway? Certainly not April or May if that's what you're thinking.

It was just announced this week that Walmart is the biggest company in the world in terms of revenue (oil companies taking 3 out of the top 5).

You don't release something like an album unless you have support of major retail chains and distributors.  Just look at Scissor Sisters.  They made some disparaging remarks about retail outlets and distribution in the states and their latest cd was boycotted by some major retailers and a large distributor.  As a result, their album debuted in the 30s, where everywhere else in the world it was a top five album. 

Axl can say fuck Walmart, but ultimately, he'd only fuck himself in terms of cd sales...

But on topic, hearing nothing means exactly that, nothing.  This album is going to come out when it comes out (unfortunately).  Not much any of us can do.  Trying to find logic and deduce theories about the album's release based on the activity or lack thereof is a waste of time.

Cheers,

Andrew

Starting to think that there is going to be a quick release.
Bands been quiet, normally happens when shit is happening behind the scenes.
Heared the rumour about the Brain leaving as he was told about a 2008 release, I dont buy that shit for one minute .The tommy stuff on the other hand seems more of a white lie to delay...its all the behind the scenes shit...
Soon IMO..soon... brothers and sisters.

where the fuck did you hear that?

My Wal-Mart has a gas station... So they must contribute to sunoco, if they're in the top 5 ?

It's unlikely that Axl Rose has a say in which stores stock his album. Unless this is the cleanest GNR album ever then we can predict that an edited version would be made available to Walmart. And I'm sure that as part of Walmart's overall agreement with distributors they'd pretty much have to take delivery of GNR's album whenever it shipped, regardless of how long it takes the martmonkeys to clear shelf space.This kind of business isn't conducted on a case-by-case basis, no-one is calling up Walmart HQ to find out if it's okay to release x album  at x time to fit the store's schedule.

Soon on  Axl is at least 2015

WalMart is the biggest Retail company in the world...with stores on every major continent....with  a band lke Gnr ,m they would recieve stocking information.

rotfl

[*ReON!*]

walmart alone requires more time to stock shelves like ( 2 months)....so soon is not the word

Dude.. Walmart might be an american institution.. but its still a very small percentage of the music world.
I for one do not  shop at ASDA.

LOL.. how selfrightious do  I seem replying 3 times to my own post... fuckit.

Ehr...yeah.  No Walmart stores in Rome (and I think also in Italy) -- how about that?

Jarmo where do you find these idiots?

hahahaha, yea.

Feel the love bitches.

releasing a major album like this "quickly" without the proper promotion scheme would be pure insanity from the point of view of the record company, so you wont see it happen. I'm sorry to break it to you.

Look to the way any major record release starts its promotion cycle. Im talking about bands/artists that have potential to sell 10+ million. There is a definate pattern there to be seen. It is plausible to think that GNR is still considered as such an asset to its company.

dont be naive, and:

"All we need is just a little patience"

[grog mug]

Axl didn't release it "quick" in 2006, because he WANTS THE PROPER PROMOTION STRATEGY.  Just read the last letter he issued about the album, and you'll realize that soon ISN'T the word.  I'm thinking Nov. 2007 sounds reasonable.

[Regibold]

NO!!! NOT AGAIN!!!

[KaptainKuntra]

No-one knows whats going on, last thing we heard is that the mixing was underway in February. I can't see the mixing taking months and months, especially if the band aren't there (i.e. on tour as they will be very soon).

Personally I think its going to be down to the record company when they decide the best window is to release it. Hopefully that will be *soon*.

[slane92]

For the first time ever (yes i know, i must be very niave!) since 1999 or so I am really

doubting that this album will ever appear.

The silence from the band is deafening..................................

what are us fans supposed to think?
