Yeah...let's begin shall we?
OK...because the album is Chinese Democracy, Mysteron is using the Chinese calendar. But on the Chinese calendar, it's currently year 4704. So, 2008 on the Chinese calendar is the year 688 BC.
First, I have a "friend" in the industry who has assured me that Axl has recorded exactly 688 tracks in the Chinese Democracy sessions.
Second, the millions spent on recording this album weren't actually for studio time but to create a time machine, with which Axl traveled back to 688 BC to leave the only copy of the album in what would later become Beijing China, in the hopes that it would be found and inspire future generations of Chinese. However, it wasn't found until 1209 AD, when Genghis Khan invaded from the Steppes, and after syncing it to his iPod (which was left by Bumblefoot) he decided to keep it for himself. At his death, he was buried with it, but having had his burial party killed, no one knows where this is. And that's the main reason for the delay.
At least, that's what
I
heard.

Much like the record industry, I'm all about profit. So in mid 2008, I plan to remaster that quote and rerelease it with a bonus DVD of me looking up stuff on wikipedia and typing it out. Cha-ching!

I see your point and realize you're just using an analogy, but a grocery store not having bread or beer is far different than Chinese Democracy not coming out.? As people have stated before, music is a form of art.? It can and will only be released when those that created it feel that it's ready to be released.? And as has been stated before,the band owes us absolutely nothing.? If the album never comes out are our lives gonna be less worth living?? I can understand how some people may be tired of waiting, that's fine, that's your perogative.? All I can say is it'll come out if it's meant to be and don't believe any of these rumors until you hear OFFICIAL word or better yet see Chinese Democracy on the shelves of your local record store.
But it's not like they are overcoming a dry spell. This is something that OFFICIALLY, or if Axl's word can be taken as officially, has been almost done for the better part of a decade. This isn't a case of writer's block. We've heard, what 10 songs from these sessions. That's an album, right there. The more you tinker with it, put a cow bell here, and guitar chord there, the more convoluted it's going to be. Remember Appetite? How raw and aggressive it was? Now, remember the Illusions. Still great albums, but much of the rawness was gone, replace with studio buffoonery, like the stupid phone call in KOHD. Now they've had these songs, and been performing most of them for years now. How much better are they going to get? How much better can they get?
That's the aggravating thing for many fans I think. We've already heard the majority of the songs and we like them. We just want a studio copy so we can listen to it and discuss it without feeling like we're doing something wrong by listening to leaks or bootlegs of shows.
Anyway, that's enough of my rant for the day. Have a good new years!

Do you guys think that if CD is with the label now, that it's under a different name so that people who aren't meant to know about it yet won't find out? If so, I'd love to find out what it might be called.

I was actually thinking about Star Wars and that's the reason the thought crossed my mind!?But I don't think they do that kind of stuff much anymore, since someone's bound to find out sooner
than
later... But it'd be fun to know if they have a code name for CD anyway.?
*edit*
Or a nick name, something that only Axl, Baz and a few others know... They could be talking about it anywhere and people would just be like "damn how can they be so interested in ------"?

Seriously people, I believe this is the year we will see CD. The record company has the CD. Since they have it now, there is no reason for it not to be released. This is it people. This is THE YEAR, or IT WILL BE NEVER! I believe it. And you can quote me on that.

I have to agree with this - another year with no CD with all of the news we have on how close it is to being finished and what not. it'll just be a huge joke if we don't get CD this year. truth is though it won't surprise me if we don't. I don't think I'll be really excited for it until i see it on store shelves though - all of the rumors in 2007 didn't even get me excited. when your expectations for a release date are next to nothing, its hard to get excited about much.

If I'd have quoted everyone who has said that each year then I would have a book longer, more interesting and more contradictory than the Bible.

Well, if we're sayin by hook or by crook, and if you mean whyat i think you mean, then yes, there will be more gnr albums, possibly of thus far unnoficially unreleased (and possibly unheard - spot the diference) stuff.
What I mean is this:
Either Axl will release it.
Or the label will eventually sue for rights to the material and they'll release it.
Or Axl will die, and the label will end up with control of the "vaults" and will, eventually, release it.

Problem is the band is the one factor that has built expectation. Touring under the Chinese Democracy banner, and telling people "It'll be out this year ... no wait, THIS year ... no, uh, THIS YEAR for sure!"
You can't have it both ways. If you want your fans to not expect anything, then you don't go pop it into at random club to preview it. You don't let "leaked" copies of songs out. You don't play it for your VIP friends who are going to talk to the press and say "It's done and and it's great!" You can't go out and say it's coming "really soon" and then turn around and tell the fans to expect nothing.
Sure you can. Witness the fact they have. Should you? Well, you know....they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they say nothing, people scream, and yell, and rant and rave because there's silence and they're not communicating with us. If they communicate, and pass along their INTENTIONS, people scream, and yell, and rant, and rave if everything doesn't go exactly as they intend. They're in a catch-22. And in THIS case, you're right: You can't have it both ways.
Quote
But that is exactly what's been going on. And it's not fair to GNRs fans. GNR wouldn't mean a God damn thing if it weren't for all the fans who are not rich or famous VIPs.
Then communicate your disdain for what has occured, leave every GnR message board behind, and don't buy any of their "product" ever again. Don't go to see them in concert, don't buy any albums, etc. Because, essentially, the rest is just bitching and moaning and accomplishes butkiss.
As for being "fair"......if there's ONE life lesson in this world that everyone needs to learn it's this: "Life is very seldom fair". Shit happens. Sometimes it's not fair, but it is what it is.
Quote
Imagine if you went shopping at your favorite grocery store and they didn't have any bread (or beer), and the manager told you, "Its on the next shipment, it's coming." So you check back. Again, no bread (or beer), and again the manager says "It's on the way, it's not my fault, the delivery truck broke down, but we have crackers and Zima." And again and again it happens, and you get more excuses, like "Oh, the warehouse is out ... oh it just takes a long time to bake bread and brew beer ... oh the home office won't let us sell bread and beer until later in the year."
Eventually, you quit checking back. I think that's what's going on now. A lot of fans are tired of waiting, so they are not checking back.
Well, there's a fundamental difference between the availability of a staple (like bread) and a luxury/discretionary item (like beer or an album).
And your analogy isn't ENTIRELY correct because, lets face it, I have the OPTION to go somewhere else to get my bread (or beer). There's no other option with CD. You either wait patiently, "leave", or bitch and moan fruitlessly. I choose the first. Anyone can feel free to choose the 2nd. But the 3rd is pointless.
