Label has finished Guns N' Roses album?

[cotis]

thanks mysteron!

like I've been saying from the beginning, you don't hire a new management team unless you plan on doing something

can't wait!

[grog mug]

So I guess the plan is to have it out this year still?

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Thanks for the post, Mysteron... And finally, Geffen have confirmed they have the album.

This is it guys, its going to happen this year. Wait for it..

I thought that was only a prevalent rumor?

I just asked the same thing but my post was deleted....

[fuckin crazy]

Great news!!!

great news to hear!

still would love to be a fly on the wall to find out what exactly the big holdup is about (ie. promotion money, credits, release date, etc.)

Maybe the condensed version, but I would think the actual negotiations would be mind numbingly boring. Though I do have a short attention span.

On the previous page there is a link to a Kerrang article. Apparently Geffen confirmed to them directly that they have the album.

So what we get out of this is that the album is turned in and the release date is RIGHT AROUND the corner?

Yep, from the Kerrang article and Mysteron's point, we can now have some certainty that Axl has turned the album into Geffen. From this point on, its in the hands of the label to come to an agreement with Axl for when and how the album is going to be released. I can't imagine such negotiations taking a entire year to finalize.

It really looks like this thing is "getting a head of steam", and thing are moving like a freight train.

Maybe I'm wrong but unless that's mid-May, forget aboutitit. If it comes out this year then it will be in the fall when Robin can play with the band. Unless Axl gives him an ultimatum and says "hey you gotta be back now. it's us or NIN".

But with the Olympics in China, it'd seem to make thematic sense to release it around August. Who knows though, certainly not me, just an educated guess.

The timing seems to be right, with Def Leppard set to release a new album and Motley Crue ready to embark on a huge tour with a new album to boot.  Both those bands ruled the 80's and GNR kind of overshadowed them once they hit the scene.  I just hope we don't have to wait much longer for history to repeat itself.

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.

Now I'm officially excited again. Thanks!

[grog mug]

I just don't see it coming out in the summer...how is that even possible?!  Maybe November/December...hope I'm wrong though

[SLCPUNK]

I do see it coming out though.

[ben9785]

We can't expect anything with this album.

We can certainly be excited that this is the most positive it is going to get, rather than thinking about how positive it has got over the years (if that makes sense).

But in terms of release date, timeframe, etc, you shouldn't expect anything.

It may be half a year from the announcement of the release date. Possibly even just a month or two. Maybe even a week.
It could even be released overnight with no warning.
Imagine that - One day you wake up and GNR is all over the news, internet etc.

[W. Adam S]

I think it will be Christmas 2008.

[whiny]

if it comes out in 2008... then it will be late 2008. but from that moment on we have a release date, the waiting will be somewhat enjoyable, i'd say.

Thanks for the good news update Mysteron! =)
This is the best news we could get right now!
Lets hope Axl and the managment can bring out a fair and good deal!

Fucking ACE !!!

[slunksoma]

Fall/Autumn release is sounding likely time frame wise I imagine, as long as we don't have any hiccups and they resolve the management business sooner rather than later.
