Second half of 07'

[RoCoKiN]

So with the Japan shows ending on the 21st of July and no further shows confirmed, are we to assume that we will see a release date announced for September along with a Noth American tour?  Or will they announce a South American tour and do that before they announce a release date?  I figure this world tour that has been going on for a year now is just a little introduction of sorts of the new band and the fans...once they have covered the world they can release an album and most everyone will know "who" Guns N' Roses are now and the album will sell better worldwide!?!?!  So with the majority of the earth covered sans South America wouldn't it be conceivable that the World is ready for the album now?

[Sillything]

I've been ready my whole adult life. The rest of the people who don't get it is a eeeh...little bit slow? *hehe*

[stolat]

Yes, the world is indeed ready - just had to regroup the GN'R army.....

Yeah, we have been waiting forever ? , but what about the hoards of new fans who just saw Guns for the first time in the last year...this could have been a very long advertising campaign...kinda like running for President! ? One that came to a sudden halt a few years back

there wil be no release date.if there were plans to release the album in september we would have a single mid or end of july.if the record company had the album by now we wud know also cause they wud anounce it and weve heard nothing.u heard richard fortus.they were looking at november,that shows how much hope we have for a release this year.it aint happin

Antarctica is an unexplored market!

south america hasnt had it's part of the shows yet, and africa is still "unplayed"
Russia and most of middle east havent had a single show yet, either.

they can keep on touring for years....

they still could release it late fall/winter; it'd be nice to have it under the tree... but, we'll see...

Southamerica is the ''must'' next step. Not only because GNR dont play Southamerica since 1993, but because here GNR have a massive number of fans willing to see them. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia.... in all these countries GNR can make stadium shows, and that is something very unlikely in other places of the world.

By the way, Gremio SUCKS

^I'm with you there.
you guys deserve it.
South americans have been the biggest supporters of the band.
and 6 years after RIR you deserve a tour!

[Wheres Izzy]

Without anything being said by the band I don't think it's too wise to speculate at this point. They could turn around and book tour dates through the year next week. I am not building myself up for anymore release dates until it comes Officially.

same here, right now i don't think of it that much.. it's do-able to live your life anyway

there are 23 weeks left in 2007.

My guess is (very unlikely to happen):

GNR gives a release date the last days of July. Promotion lasts from August to November, and the first single is released somewhere in september. The album comes the first days of November, and the Southamerican tour starts in Brazil. Then Colombia, Chile and Argentina. In the ''break time'' between August/November, GNR makes sporadical concerts, TV shows, etc.

I know this is more like a dream than a possibility, but if this happens > 

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I don't really know what to think anymore.  Del James who is very close to Axl stated directly on the official site that the recording is finished.  The mixing is underway.  But there's no word beyond that, and as far as we know the album hasn't been turned over to the record label. 

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they toured South America in the fall and the album didn't come out this year.  That actually seems pretty likely.  That said there's still plenty of time to realistically see a release.  If the mixes are finalized sometime between now and September the album can realistically come out this year.  If not, it's on to 2008

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Which, unfortunately, is looking more and more likely with every silent week.

[Verasa]

This thread is depressing... Well, Axl never said it would be out this year...except for the Mar.6th thing

[RoCoKiN]

Well, we can't get too pessimistic...it's possible that after Japan their focus is going to be on the album and marketing, singles and shit.  Let's just hope that this Tour hasn't been all for nothing!!!

[uzisuicide2002]

Tour/album this fall/winter.....hmmm....i'v been saying this afew times in the last 7 years....but this time its going to happen...

Hey, I'm hoping for that, along with tons of other fans here, but it's our past experiences. Last year, the album was supposed to come out, hence the tour. This year, it was supposed to come out in March, hence the tour...and now we haven't had an update since (April??) and it's looking like Axl's going to assfuck his fans once again.

I'll forgive all that if they come back to New Jersey again this year.

Yeah my guess would be similar, assuming everything else goes smoothly (which I know can be a big assumption) the first single being released in September, followed by an album sometime around November then kicking off another full on tour.

Although whether they will go immediately to South America I'm not so sure.  Although as someone else posted, there are massive amounts of GN'R fans there so it would be nice for them if they did go back there soon.  If the album drops and really takes off, I would assume they would be wanting to hit the US and European markets again pretty quick to capitalise on it. Although they may wait a bit for the spring/summer festivals in Europe etc which would be the ideal time to tour again - but that might be a bit long to wait if the album dropped in November.

Hmmm we could speculate for days/years on this.
