Label has finished Guns N' Roses album?

[Howard2k]

Geffen Records has reportedly been handed a finished Guns N' Roses album by Axl Rose.

The record, which has the working title Chinese Democracy, has been repeatedly delayed during the past 14 years.

Guns N' Roses' last studio album was 1993's The Spaghetti Incident. Soft drinks firm Dr Pepper recently said that if Rose released a record in 2008 they would give every American a free beverage.

According to TheRockRadio, Geffen is currently sorting out financial and legal issues with the frontman.

It is rumoured that Chinese Democracy may have cost over ?6.5 million to produce.

Nothing in there that jumps out as screaming of reliability, but still interesting and feels like we're getting closer!.

i wouldn't hold my breath on that one

Beta and Baz say it and everyone doubts it. Some source that's probably not reliable runs the story and we're excited?

[PrimaDonna]

I think that EXACT same note was circulating a few months ago. Old news now.

Who's excited?  Like I said - nothing in there screams of reliability.    But press is press.  Maybe there is some truth to it.

Haven't we all accepted this by now? Why is this considered news?

I'd never claim to speak for everyone on the forum. 


Feel free to going back to the idle speculation over Robin.

This is my point of view...

In 1999, 2002 and 2006 we were convinced Chinese Democracy was done and it probably was. For some reason the album couldn't be released. As time went by Axl (or other members of the band) thought the album could be improved, more songs were written, songs were changed, members changed, ... When the new version of the album was done other problems rose and the album couldn't be released. Time went by and more songs were written, more songs were changed, more members were replaced, ...
So what's up right now? We know the album is done but for some reason it can't be released. Maybe time will go by and...

ANYWAY---

This appears to be a spin off from the "Reality TV" article...

Probably, I think, if, maybe etc.


"We were convinced"?

Well, I was and on this board others were as well.
I'm actually sure you were convinced the album would be released in 2006.

I'm actually sure you were convinced the album would be released in 2006.

Yes. That was what I hoped.

But then I realized it wasn't 100% finished (like I had assumed).


This time, that's not the case.

Here is the deal folks:

No one connected to the core of GnR ever confirmed 100% the album was finished... not until late 2007 Beta confirmed it.

Some then will mention the tentative March thing... but there it was never mentioned the album was finished either... in fact Axl clearly said in the same letter there were gonna be some additions.

So anyone who was expecting it before 2008 was just reading too much in too many things. And the people on internet created anticipation for an album that was not finished yet

Hoping/thinking it would get finished, and being convinced that it is finished, are two different things. So which one s it?
