Baz "axl really wanted CD out this year"

[disease51883]

Imagine this the last few years the music world has lost its fans with garbage music that's today's music just check out Itunes top 10 songs.  Record industry is dying record stores are closing there's no good music..................................................... Then one morning you flip on MTV your in the kitchen making breakfast the Tv's going in the background then all of a sudden you hear the intro of Better you run to the TV its the video there back !!! you turn on the radio everyone is talking about it nobody can believe the music industry is saved all thanks to one band the only band big enough to change the face of music twice.  This is what I invison one day and that band will be none other than GUNS N ROSES !!!!

Eeesh... 

[Nytunz]

lets just hope for news, before the end of the year.. Things are really starting to get a bit laughable...

[ppbebe]

Bottom line is - the CD isn't out because of Axl.

the cd will be out because of axl.   because of axl, cd is.

the only band big enough to change the face of music twice.  This is what I invison one day and that band will be none other than GUNS N ROSES !!!!

if you look through out the history of music its always changing 60's the british invasion, 70's Rock Punk, 80's new wave glam rock metal ,90's alternative gangsta rap,2000 pop hip hop, 2008-on the return of Rock !!!! Baz said its a epic record I believe what he says.

I think 'grand' was the word he tentatively put it as. 

Only problem with that is, MTV never plays music videos anymore.

I believe in the 60s and 70s they didn't have mtv either. 
the setting is adequate for some groundswell after a long time.

[norway]

Yeah, sad it didn't come this year. Hopefully we hear something soon.

[Wicked Demon]

Yeah, imagine that! ROCK MUSIC on MT "I wanna rock!" V!

Wait... I think I hear AEROSMITH coming out of a VICTROLA!!!

And when they do, it's usually in the middle of the night, and it's allt he new pop/hip hop crap. :/

15 years is laughable but 14 is not?

yes, let's hope for something. its been a little bit of a letdown. i think most of us were hoping for a year end gig and/or some cd news...well, there is still a month left for something...

[Gargh!]

Despite what people have said, I really don't think the "absent original members" thing is really a bg deal.  GnR have already toured and made money since the incarnation of the new band, as well as releasing a single back in 1999.  If none of those things were stopped for legal reasons concerning the use of the name, why would an album be?

cause the album has approx 300+ musicians appearing on the album ,
all of which need to have royalties for their work, and this is usually worked out before the album is released,
So that in itself would be a very time - consuming process,

apart from whether or not axl should leave bucketheads solo on the album,
or have Bumblefoot play his part,
but then Wouldnt bucket get royalties for writing the solo?
Or would axl try and get out of it, due to the bad history between the two?

questions,questions,quesitons...

[eggers]

Where do you get this number from?

[gunns1]

No where, its a guess,
but say 30 people each year for the last 10 years (since 97) that have been
session drummers/bassists/guitarists Whatever,

thats 300 peopl, I think thats a fair estimate,
even if its 100 , thats still alot,
which is why it is probably taken along while for cd to be released,
But this is nothin but speculation, and is probably as true as any other speculation on here,
as how can we know otherwise?

[eggers]

300 musicians for ANY album is absolutely insane.

[erose]

You got to be out of your fuckin' mind if you think axl has used 300 musicians, Wtf lol...

Yes there might have been a few more than on appetite but for fucks sake man?!

AND, do you think everyone who has worked on CD will get royalties? NO. I'm guessing most, if not all has been paid for the sessions. At lest those who did not tour and actually came up with the songs!...

jeeez...

[ppbebe]

perhaps not so insane for some classical music but you won't see every musicians name.

I never heard of those session drummers/bassists/guitarists for GNR recordings. 300?

[Bartlet]

gunns1 - thats based on what exactly...?

And you think it's reasonable to assume that the work from sessions that happened ten years ago will be on the album to that degree?

I'm not saying nothing has lasted that long, but I wouldn't be surprised if the current band has recorded most of the stuff.

What I mean is, even the Use Your Illusion albums had old songs on them, but they were recorded by the GN'R line-up at the time. Also, those albums had a bunch of guests.

I always used to say "when Axl himself gives us a release date you can take it to the bank."  After that was proven wrong I find myself mostly out of philosophical anecdotes.

Now I look at it like this:  The album will come out when it comes out.  Unless it never does.

Either way, take the man's advice and just live your life.

I'm no longer hanging on the edge of my seat every day, hoping we get some good news like an official (not tentative) release date.  I rarely read the dirt sheets anymore.  I visit this site once a month now instead of several times a day.

When the album comes out I'll still be first in line and buy it three times, but until then it's not something I'll be obsessing over anymore.  It's just been too long.  It's Axl's and the band's issue, not mine.

It's funny how much difference a year can make.  Last year at this time it seemed like everyone was interested and excited about the possible release of Chinese Democracy.  Now I'm starting not to care anymore and it seems a lot of other fans feel the same way.  Imagine what people who aren't "die hard" gnr fans think.  It all changed when Axl said (nearly 1 year ago) that it might come out March 6, but even if it didn't we'll let you know what's up.  One year later and nothing.  Not even an official statement from Axl.  Bravo, Bravo... I can take delays but not blatant lies or broken promises.  Either way,  the luster on this project is quickly vanishing for me...

Axl has never given us a firm release date.

Just put your disappointment down to your own lack of understanding of what "tentative" means.?

[SamBob]

There were two release dates, but I'm not sure if Axl himself told us those release dates... well, technically one, but I thought he said he hoped it would come out sometime soon (back when...) on VMA awards.

True that... :/ though I still have tiny bit of hope. :] I'm just not letting my guard down. XDD
