 that my dear is the one billion dollar question!

[Lucky]

its definitely not coming out in september.
september is only 8 weeks away, and there's no chance in hell that they could organize and pull through the whole promotion in the remaining time.

the earliest plausible release is november...

[Voodoochild]

Wasn't 8 weeks the timeline Axl talked about in his letter?

Also, there's 4 weeks more till October... So I dunno why you said it's impossible to coming out in September and/or October.

[bodine]

9/17 is 8 weeks from 7/23 which is in 3 weeks so it's still totally feasible....  I'm still holding on to hope we'll hear something right around when they finish up in Japan...

me too. 9/17 really can work. however, that assumes that the album is done....

8 weeks was bare minimum.
you dont achieve anything by doing bare minimums.
if 8 is the minimum, then 12 weeks is reasonable.
also, it's summer. it's time of vacations. nobody give a crap about promotions while on hollidays.
the promotion will/should/could start only when the summer is over (or close to an end).
dont expect any promotion at least till mid august (and that's early).

my most optimist prediction is that..., the promotion will start in september, hopefully,
we might get some info around the VMAs... but I wouldnt be surprised if nothing happens (again).

nothing has happened as far as the new album is concerned for a long, long time....we have no idea if it is even completed and how far along are they to a completed product....no idea, none.

Where do you get this idea? 

I don't remember hearing the words 'bare minimum' or 'at least' or anything like that in relation to how long it takes to complete a CD once it's turned in...   

[Lucky]

use your common sense.

[bodine]

use your common sense.

Common Sense ?!?!?!  You're just making shit up!!!!!!!   

[Nytunz]

They may have planned to release it this spring. But because of some delays (like they said on GNR.COM) had to resceduale, and a big album like this, will most likely be released in the best selling months.. I dont belive the summer months is the best idea. Spring and fall is. April, March and May. September, October November. Even Desember.

To me it looks like they are finsihing up theyr comeback tour with the World Tour. To be fair with theyr fans. Around the world. Then i guess something could happen. New tour this fall maybe? Behind the album?.. But then again. Who knows. Pure speculation

[rubinho.ma]

If they hit the US again without at least an official date and a single, then this thing will become as senseless as fishing in the desert.?

[Lucky]

use your common sense.

Common Sense ?!?!?!  You're just making shit up!!!!!!!   

are you a fucking idiot?
use your fucking braincell.

[jarmo]

You're not discussing any release dates on the online shops, you're making assumptions.

Please take it somewhere else.

Interesting. Some of the online release dates I've seen have
the album coming out in the fall.

i do.  when axl gave that statement around christmas i think it was, about the release possibly being march 6, he did say something about 6 to 8 weeks being the mimimun amount of time needed to release it once it's turned in.

in all honesty, 9/17 is feasible.

let's keep our fingers crossed, again.

No, here's what he said...

"It takes approximately 8 weeks for an album to hit the shelves once it has been turned in to the record company. For whatever reasons it appears it may have been mistakenly inferred by management that this could be condensed to three. 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 6th. This is the first time we have done this publicly for this album. Any and all other dates have been made up by others for their own reasons. We would like to assure the fans that though tentative everything in our power will be done to meet this date. Once it is finalized and official you will be notified. If we are delayed for unseen reasons you will also be notified as soon as possible in regard to a new date and the album will be released as shortly thereafter as is possible. We thank you for your patience.
