Let's be realistic everyone!

[PrimaDonna]

Mysteron says the album is handed in. Bumblefoot said the same thing to a fan he met. Dave over at cd.com says the record is not handed in. Glenn, the guy that "regularly" meets Axl says early spring is the earliest possible release date.
Who are we supposed to believe?

Axl said himself that he would update us when recording/mixing/mastering was done. He hasn't done that yet.

So what are we supposed to believe? Realistically?

Is this current silence what we fear: A new long, long wait with no news or information whatsoever?

Someone has to know SOMETHING, right?

[KaptainKuntra]

I thought the Bumblefoot story wasn't true?

[GUNNER]

Wrong.

Nobody knows... not even Axl, i think...

[illusionone]

Here's my two cents,

I don't look for signs, rumors, hearsay etc. . . . .

The only time I will put any thought into the release of Chinese Democracy is if Axl comes out and says it publicy. ?Anything other than that is a waste of time as it's alot of this person said this, but he may have meant that . . .

I'll be honest with you - I just stopped caring about 8 years ago. ?If it comes out - that's great - we'll get to hear one hell of an album. If it doesn't, I have shit loads of GN'R's music that I am more than happy listening to.

people know things, and we will find out in due course......no news is good news ?

[LIGuns]

I wouldn't be suprised if Axl released an album and Chinese Democracy became a box set entitled the Chinese Democracy Sessions.

[LeftToDecay]

I believe, very  firmly, that as soon as the album has reached the state where Axl feels he doesn't have to touch&tamper with  it again he will inform media/fans about it instantly. Just to get it off his chest.You know, "Ok! that's it. *I* am done now. When it comes out - not my problem anymore.PHEW."

I don't believe that there is finished and "sealed" CD save  for packaging and printing sitting at record label vaults quietly waiting for some mysterious "right moment" Not without Axl/record label/Someone actually officially announcing it.

Lets be honest here


We thought November 2006 was almost  a lock


Axl then writes that letter stating March 2007 and we all go apeshit


The same things are said over and over and over on this forum since 2002

Spring for sure

Well ok, summer definitely

Well........  He is just waiting for the holiday shopping season

2003 repeat

2004 repeat
2005 repeat
2006 repeat

NOW

And I honestly can't believe this

2007 repeat


I thought there was no way in hell we WOULDNT get the album this year


So...................... Do we start the process all over again for 2008?



Sure!!!!!


The wait is awesome in my opinion.

Although even I am getting kind of antsy........................

Axl said himself that he would update us when recording/mixing/mastering was done. He hasn't done that yet.

Actually, and I'm sick of people misquoting Axl and his letter, he said that he will notify us when there is another release date.  Here it is:

"Once it is finalized and official, you will be notified. If we are delayed for unseen reasons, you also will be notified as soon as possible in regard to a new date, and the album will be released as shortly thereafter as is possible."


So, as everyone hates to hear, let's wait and see what will happen next. Even though everyone does not want to believe it, I believe they are working hard to get this out and those "unseen reasons" keep popping up.

[A Private Eye]

Mysteron says the album is handed in.

No he didn't, he said the ball is in the record companies court, and they are holding things up. I think the Ron rumour was false too. There's been nothing to suggest the album has been handed in as of yet.

-illusionone

WOW, you stopped caring 8 years ago?

This whole thing is pretty wierd i tell ya, but i do think that Axl actually wants this thing out which means we'll get to hear it whenever everything is as it should be.

And i don't think that there's musical issues thats holding this back. It's got to be legal shit or mind shit or something to that extent... Thats just my personal opinion tho...

[remcognr]

Glenn, the guy that "regularly" meets Axl says early spring is the earliest possible release date.

who's Glenn? and where does he notifies people about his meetings with Axl?

Yeah. Seems like a nice dude. People asks him whether Axl is bald and stuff. LOL. Hilarious.

Glenn answers: "He is not bald, but how complex his hair is, I do not know or can't talk about."

[ppbebe]

Axl said himself that he would update us when recording/mixing/mastering was done. He hasn't done that yet.

No he didn't
he said we would be notified when the release date was fixed. he didn't even say how and by whom we'd be notified. 

[jaypayton]

we have been hearing the album rumors since 1995...its 2008 in two monhts

[horsey]

i have no friggin clue.and it's really getting too much never knowing jack.if it comes out i hope im alive it seems of something in the future,future i don't know really.what a drag that is really.

[Rockin' Rose]

Well Bach said that there is like four albums worth of material, I think it was the N.Y. Times article ('05?) where it was stated that Axl is funding the recordings of his own pocket now and the GH album has made up the 13 or so millions that the record company had invested in CD.

So at the moment they (Axl vs. record company) could be debating about who owns the masters, does the record company own CD and does Axl own the three other cd's and shit like that.

Something is holding CD from not being released but it could be anything really, the whole thing is more complicated than we know.


It ain't coming out this year, that's pretty sure now, so.. maybe next year

[ppbebe]

So the answer is mysteron and bumble. 

Whos dave? Is he intheknow?

[jarmo]

As far as I remember, Mysteron didn't say the record was handed over to the record company.
