Baz "axl really wanted CD out this year"

[Jaakko]

I think Axl (and others) wanted CD out also in 2006, why else would he have made those cryptic "late, late fall"-speeches ? It's almost impossible to think that an actual finished compact goddamn disc could see the day of light in 2008 or any other year.

BUT, who could have believed in december 2005 that we would see a few months later Guns N Roses performing around the globe... So when it happens, it happens pretty fast, 8 weeks promotion etc. etc. and Then It Is Reality.

Merry Christmas, believers !

Haha, true that. And atleast we got some swell people like Mysteron to warn us about pre-orders and all that jazz. Thanks again for that heads up, my May was made because of that!

What do you mean there?  Mysteron warning us about pre-orders?

I was referring to him giving people the heads up about the Hammerstein shows. A lot of people got on the ball and ordered their tickets thanks to him + this board.

Geffen must have faith in Axl because they've sat by for almost 15 years waiting for this album.  They could have just put together a couple of compilations, like Greatest Hits, and been done with the bands contract.  It may take 40 years and $8,000,000,000 but it looks like Geffen is in this for the long haul.

It's not that odd that a record company has faith for a man who has been part of a band that has sold tens of millions records. Axl hasn't sang his swan song yet...

At this point, after the disappointments (album wise) of 06 and 07, I'm taking a "no news is good news" stance.
