For the record: GNR was touring ahead of the release? of UYI in 1991. In various concerts, Axl made specific reference to when it would be? out. Mistakenly, he first? said August 1991, and? it? ended up? being Sept. But later? in the tour he got? it right. The point being, that if there was a known release? date for Chinese Democracy, he would be promoting it. So there? is not. And that is not good? news.
Sad but true. He pretty much made it clear in his letter to the fans that once the album is ready for release they will put out a full promotional force. No, "by the way the album will be out next Tuesday." So we must continue to wait. I wonder, if the album ever does come out, if we'll get an explanation on exactly why the heck it took SO LONG?
