I agree with you, but I also see the original point.

If it is done and Merck is gone. What is the label and who will handle promotion?

Once that is straight give them 10 to 15 weeks.

There are 18 Tuesdays left before the Christmas shopping season.

Lots more time to play with our demos........

[icpillusions]

A few more leaks.

[faldor]

A few more leaks.

I personally don't want to hear any more leaks IF the album is gonna come out someday.  If not, then let the leaks fly.

[SLCPUNK]

Honestly, all joking aside, I have a good feeling about this year. It's the first time I have ever felt this way regarding the album. It's "turned in" and Mysteron said the main focus was getting the album out (which I never recall him saying in the past) then that just fortifies my outlook on 07.

[AxlsSweetChild]

if i was axl i would release the album on march 6th 2008 and say that was the plan all along. would be so badass

It would be more Badass if he just released the damn thing!!! Soon.

I would certainly hope this latest leg of the C.D. tour didn't upset those nagging 'finishing touches.' After all, they didn't have to do it (at least as it appears to all of us) and I'm certain those markets would have waited for the GnR machine to roll into their time.

Personally, I always speculated that these latest dates were a fundraiser anyway; Axl has been financing the record on his own for a couple of years, if that portion of the NYT article is to be believed. This leg was a quick and easy way to push some cash toward the studio fees.

But I believe the album has been done for awhile and there are probably legal hassles and label headaches to solve.

It's "turned in"

 

Where did you hear that?  If that's true then it's great news, and the album will probably be out this year. 

My theory on the tour was that they had turned the album over to be mixed, maybe they even had several different people mixing it so they could choose from different mixes.  Mixing, especially for an album as layered and complex as CD, can take months.  So the optimistic side of me figured that rather than wait around for someone to mix the album, they went out on the road to stay in lean, mean touring mode, so when they got back they could decide on the final mix and turn it in.  But if the album has already been turned in to Universal then that should mean a release later this year

Those have been my thoughts as well.

The tour was great.  Axl was there full throttle every night and had a different surprise for each region...(Don't Cry, extended setlists, etc).  I really enjoyed reading how much Axl and the band were having fun...but the question always lingers for EVERYONE of us...Is Axl serious about releasing CD?  I think so.  The focus for the next couple months will be on the album I'm sure, but the guy I know whos involved with Geffen tells me that Axl is still wanting Great Hits II released with the "real hits" according to Axl, and I completely agree.  I'm not sure what hits he wants, but hes set on the Greatest Hits II being released at some point in time as well as Chinese Democracy.  I just hope the CD release will be in November 2007 like he is telling me...here to hoping all this off time leads up to what we all WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TrueRock&Roll]

I think it would be a bad idea for GH 2 to come out.  People would then be certain that Chinese Democracy is nowhere near.   Focus should be 100 percent on Chinese Democracy IMO

[grog mug]

Yes it should.  I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER GREATEST HITS!!  Axl is the only one pushing for this (as far as I know).  I think Axl really wants Chinese Democracy out...hes hit every major region and everyone in his camp knows its time.

[Megaguns]

Cmon.... They only released 5 studio albums, The first GH shouldnt have happened in my opinion, All these kids are buying GH and missing out on the best tunes, Coma, RQ, etc etc...  They all need to just go and buy the albums.

[waxlrick]

Gunners need to drop a single now and announce the real release date for the album. If they dont after this much touring then it would seem to me that they are fucking stupid! To put it frankly......

[Chief]

Yes, i think another GH album would be completely pointless, at least at this point in time.  perhaps a year after CD is out, it's possible that may work....
