Label has finished Guns N' Roses album?

[Oh My Choking Soul]

I hear that record negotiations are moving along nicely.  The new management team of Azoff and Gould have the
stroke needed to make Universal stop messing around wrt the release of CD.

That is the latest.

Man am I gad you spoke up. I was definately feeling a little down that we hadn't heard anything lately.

this may be the first credible thing I've seen that may sway my pessimism

[oldgunsfan]

I don't think there should be any problems with returns from the album. I think that OUT OF CURIOSITY alone there will be hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of music fans all over the world who would be "interested" at the very least to hear new "Guns N Roses" music and "hear Axl's voice again". Music fans all over the world who might not have an interest in hard rock music in general, know about Axl, they know the voice, and with the right promotion and marketing strategy, people would be curious

that's pretty optimistic
alot of fans of GnR from back in my day could care less what the guy does and were so turned off by his behavior during the illusions tour that they don't care if he ever makes another record

and I bet the residents of Philly, St. Louis, and all the other riot sites will be lining up to buy the album

arent you being pessimistic ,

judging by the amount of people that saw gnr in the last two years across the world,
If thats anything to go by,
then Chinese Democracy will be very successful...

And alot of those tours had 0 - to nothing promotion, and they played to hundreds of thousands of people....

alot of people are expecting this cd to be either very successful or not successful,
but we cant base the success of this record on anything, because nothing like this has ever been done before,
so why dont we all stay positive instead of feeding on the negativity that can be spread like wild fire eh?

not really; as long as all the new fans buy the material and they pick up additional fans along the way that buy the material; thos from the 80s mostly wrote them off, especially w/ the new line up;

AFD sold 30 mil
UYI sold 15 mil
not sure Lies did but I think about 7-8
GH checkked in about 3-4

notice a trend?  it's a new release but its alot different environment

Exactly.

And as fans here, most of us whom have been part of this forum, or at least following GNR over the last 5-10 years after the original lineup departed, we shouldn't be the ones being pessimistic and negative.

This might sound ridiculous but its the truth - when GNR return and the album comes out, people will come back here and see the history that we have almost made. Think about, in the world of the internet, how much speculation, rumours, suggestions, facts etc which have surfaced, have most likely started from here. We are a 'core' group of friends who have kept interest (on the Internet, at the very least) ongoing because we are here maintaining an interest; and this website, being a popular GNR fan website, would get alot of hits for anyone even remotely curious about searching for GNR on the net.

So regardless of anyone's expectations in album sales, ticket sales, trends, past incidents etc etc - fuck all that. Particularly at such a time where the release of the album almost feels imminent (or an official announcement at least), we should continue to be positive and supportive.

Sure, things might be a bit unclear right now particularly with Robin, but look how far we have come?

Lies was in between UYI, Greatest Hits was a collection of songs most fans already owned (And yet is still on the charts) and AFd was just pure brilliance, not a single bad moment on it. If anything affects the sales of CD, it will be the unfounded public stigma people attach to Axl.

[gunns1]

hopefully the music will just speak for itself,
without any negativity over the current incarnation of gnr affecting the publics judgement....

[norway]

I hear that record negotiations are moving along nicely. 

Cool, about time

Any chance we can see a single soon, before summer?

[ben9785]

A single would be nice, or at the very least, a free streaming track for download on the official website while things with the album are being sorted out..

[Chief]

There's always a chance and I certainly hope so!

[wight gunner]

I think alot of people don't follow bands endlessly, they tend to live the moment (something Axl suggested I seem to remember) so when the album drops, there will be the old fans who'll be intreged, old fans who don't care and many somewhere in between. The potential new audience will include  those who won't give a damn about the history, created when dad couldn't pull out in time in the back of the car, whilst shagging to AFD.

[thecrippled]

Why are there so many that are bitchin' about rumours? They are rumours goddamn it.

CD will be released, it?s that simple.

[Bitch Slap Rappin]

I wouldn't worry about it. Axl is getting ready like the way a bull gets ready to step into the ring. The cd...or cd's will be released. A tour will be announced. I'm willing to bet every old and new fan of G&R from whatever era will go out and buy a ticket to see the show. Like Axl said once.....lolo......."Just a little patiences...........

[November_Rain]

Because they always need something to bich or someone to point their fingers at. And it?s a pity some people waste their time that way. I bet when the record is out they will be the first ones to buy it and they?ll have to eat their words.

IDK, I kind of think some people could listen to it, reach an orgasmic eutopia, and still find something to complain about.

I've been checking the webpages for about 10 years now everytime I got the chance to check if there has been ?ny update on CD. 

But I won't stop believing that it will be released some day.

[Wicked Demon]

After 15 years, I want to reach *2* orgasmic utopias. anything less and CD is a failure.

lol....i agree completely

[thecrippled]

Hopefully they are gonna release a single on summer, probably late summer.

[LeftToDecay]

If negotiations keep proceeding this well for few more months, things just might end up on launchpad soon!

I hope the new management team do a good job for GN'R

I also hope that Guns don't suffer the same fate as Weezer who's album has leaked many weeks before release. Absolutely shocking.
