GNR Finish CD?

[The_Wretched]

i totally get ur point too...

i went to 2 of the new band shows... hell they were amazing!!! they really were... IMO gave the old GNR a good run their money... any day of the week.

but the US music scene is not the same. come on... the biggest selling rock band is LINKIN PARK!!!!! and NICKELBACK is close there too... WTF??

exactly... people that buy that garbage... don't generally strike me as sophisticated enough to buy CD. I know what you're gonna say... don't underestimate the general public... I do and I have the right to... let's face it the general public is stupid. That's why I don't even listen to the radio anymore...

I guess I would have to see GN'R make another splash like it did before. People lining up at midnight... waiting for HOURS to buy the UYI cassettes... I did that with my bro... don't see people doing that anymore. The generation after us are too fucking lazy. They wan't everything handed to them. Lyrical meaning... musical depth... it means shit today.

I miss those days... when music meant something in the mainstream.

Could be the record label doesn't know what to do with it, or how to market it. Whatever the label does is going to cost them money; release it and they may not make any money back, releasing it with no promotion would be a death nail. And pumping money into promotion they may not recoup could be too scary of a risk. Shelving it will cost them zero extra dollars. He may have waited too long.

Yeah I understand your point, I'm just conservative and have a "wait and see what happens" approach. Obviously 'wait' isn't a popular term in the GNR community.  

In my opinion, Chinese Democracy can make an impact on the music scene and the industry as a whole. How large an impact remains to be scene but around the time of AFD the music scene was tepid with uniformity and electronic new-wave pop, and I think Axl has some powerful words to say on this record, so I really believe in him and the band.

I want GNR to return to their 'former' glory too, but I think this album will need to grab people's attention bursting fanbase thing can happen again for the 2nd record. So whatever the holdup is, I may not like it but I sure as hell respect it.

I don't think it will never come out, I actually do think it will. But it will probably be a long while before it sees the light of day. And it could be the label has specific plans for it, they really have no clue what to do with it, or they're trying to sell it off. Either way, I have no doubt it's a great record, but that really doesn't help the labels interest in this matter. And unfortunately, their's is the only one that matters at this point.

I don't think GNR will make an impact sales wise, I just don't think this is going to be a HUGE record; its probably going to be a big disappointment sales wise. But what will matter is that it could become a success in a critical sense. I really think its going to get high marks as a powerful and relevent record. That might be a victory in itself.

If all three or four records end up making a profit then it will be a success. I just hope we're able to hear the second one. Sadly, we may only get one GNR album out of the four, folks.

I'd be happy with that.

I'd be a little disappointed if all we got was one album and we've heard half the tracks already. Not that we're meant to have heard them (other than the live environment)  but still....

I'd be quite happy if they released every song out there, good or bad, then I could make up my mind which ones I like. I'd pay good money for it too

But Axl must have known when He played a few live songs in 01/02 that someone would be recording it either video/audio,
Although I know leaks are better quality, but the only undoing of this is Axl, He could of road the wave that the leaks created and
use that as promotion for the album, but The wave came and gone, and Axl's left stranded with the record company...

I just hope he lets us know if its coming out soon or not in the next few months, so Us fans can get the heads up,
the last bit of news/information we got out of axl was in december 2006, 2 years ago...

Time to Axl himself come and bring some news

No offence to the man but I'd rather hear from Universal/Interscope/Geffen whoever is releasing this.

I dont think 14 years is enough time.......I dont think its quite ready. I would prob. tweak some things for about 4 - 5 more years first to make sure its perfect. Maybe get Weird Al Yankovic to redo Pitmans parts ...add some acordian, then switch back to pittman again 3 or 4 times. Nope I dont think the time is right.....wait for the industry to go acordian.

How about a stadium type show with a pay per view deal and a DVD (The making Of)/CD release) following immediately?

Longer than the Lord of the Rings trilogy and credits costing more than Star Wars, hang on, that's the sticking point.......

Any info from either of them would be nice!  And I don't really think the label gives a fuck so that would put the onus on Axl.  It's his baby.

ps...I'll bet money that they are trying to put together a GNR reality show.  (Axl Rose is 45...or something like that).

Actually, this would be very cool.  Start the show when Axl turns in the CD and show the entire process of marketing such a legenday CD and band.  then follow the band on what happens over the next few years.

it's not very likely but it could happen, wouldn't bet any money on it but i'd bet that VH1 and mtv have tried it

I'd rather see a serious documentary than those.

I'm surprised you can remeber back that far, you at 666 must have been pretty close to the year 666.

I would like to know why my posts are being removed... that's not quite fair now is it?

Clowns.

You're the one who makes himself look like the clown by posting shit in the wrong thread just because you crave attention.
