what else could be left to do on chinese democracy??

[guns_n_motley]

so, we know recording was finished since february, and they had started mixing in february.  most bands, mixing only takes a couple of months, but with GNR, I could see them going through several mixes of songs until axl feels whats right. we know BBF said he heard Some final mixes back last month, and Robin said after these dates they will focus on setting up the release of the record

For reference, lets look at sebastian bach. he started mixing his cd in february, and Now the cd is done, mastered and the record label is deciding on a release date..

Im just wondering if GNR is in mastering stage yet?? I would expect that while on tour they wont be mixing without axls approval(im sure he will be there while mixing)

whether or not, I think we need to have an update on Chinese democracy soon. Now, I know someone is going to come in here and say "well, why give an update when people are going to complain" because, the last update on chinese democracy was 4 months ago, and I think they should like axl promised keep us updated on its status.

Ron didn't said that and it was Richard who said they will focus on setting things up for the release.

Also, I guess the Illusions took several months with mixing too. In fact, I never thought the mixing of a complex and mythical album like this would be quick as a lot of people may have guessed.

In all honesty. id rather have no word from axl than get a message for everyone to read too deeply into and come out with a million and one conspiracies about it.

The album will be done when its done and will be out when its out.

People still go on about how axl PROMISED the album for March 6th. He didnt promise jack shit.

Id rather have silence and know that hes not wasting time by writing long messages to us explaining. as much as i do apreciate him taking his time out to do that for the fans.

no one said he needs to give an explanation, but alittle blurb on chinese democracy to keep us updated is something that can keep us hopeful. Believe me, im still positive about CD, BUT most fans are starting to lose hope.

i dont see how it could hurt to have del james or someone give alittle blurb "we are mastering the cd now" just to keep fans interested.

it wouldnt hurt, no.

the fact that Axl appears to be happy, the band is together having a laugh and touring keeps me hopeful enough.
I don't need a status update everytime an album goes into a different phase of development... weve gone God knows how many years without updates and people arent loosing interest, despite what they say otherwise. Its always there, people will always know what it is and they will buy it when it comes out.

[AxlsMainMan]

I dont think we've heard an update regarding mastering because the album is still probably being mixed.

[JMack]

The update or blurb is that GnR are out touring and being successful at it too.  They are playing songs that may or may not be on the cd.  I want to be suprised to tell you the truth.  I wouldn't be dissapointed with the songs we've heard through concerts or leaks and such but I would love a double or 2 in a row deal.  That's an old thread I know but whatever.

[Scabbie]

Is it even being mixed? Normally there are some rumours floating around about who's doing it, where its being done etc. Last I heard Andy Wallace had some involvement? Or is Sterling sound invlolved?

i think illusions took so long because, the band pretty much hated one another at that time, and it was difficult to get people in the studio to actually listen, never mind agree.

[LunsJail]

Q: What else could be left? 
A:  Releasing it!!!!

[madagas]

The Illusions took so long to mix because they mixed everything once with Bob Clearmountain, then the band did not like his mixes so they fired him and ultimately got Bill Price to mix it. It took twice as long as it normally would because they did it twice!

[JuicySwoos]

A couple more "eye-eeee-ein"s and "cha"'s??

[GunnerOne 84]

NOTHING

[Gargh!]

I don't suppose they will have done all the artwork that's to go with it yet.

[ibelieveinaxl]

we dont know...

[oneway23]

A couple more "eye-eeee-ein"s and "cha"'s??

Wow, I'm fortunate that the coffee I just spat up didn't find it's way to my laptop...great stuff

[Lucky]

we dont know...

are you saying that in every thread?
make it your signature

[LittleFly]

I'm wondering if it has to do with negotiations with the record company. ?The more popular GNR becomes, or the leaks get, the more the label will want. ?Rights to music and things, I'm thinking, so they can make more money on the music once it's released. "Now we know Nikes are Better!" ?

Probably wrong, but it occured to me the other day lol

[gcluskey]

A couple more "eye-eeee-ein"s and "cha"'s??

...And a few more 'Aow!'s

[daviebuckethead]

axl wanted to put yowza in at the end of TWAT
