Last words to GNR before the release of S.R. "GNR Leaving the Silence!"

[Bodhi]

It have been waiting for this record to come out since the "illusion" tour ended....its about 15 years...I remember when I was in high school in the mid to late 90's you could not find a Guns N Roses t-shirt anywhere...now over a decade later GNR shirts are being worn by kids as young as 12, and GNR merchandise can be found at any mall you go to in America...For those of you who were not around for that time period, it is probably harder to fully appreciate the things that are going on in the GNR world today...There was a period between 1994-2000 where the only time we even heard a word out of Axl was from his Phoenix Airport arrest in 1998, the remix of Sweet Child at the end of Big Daddy in 1999, and his phone interview in late 1999 with Kurt Loder after the release of "Oh My God" Earlier in 1999 Axl was on the cover of Spin Magazine with the headline "what the world needs now is Axl Rose"  It was an article about the up and coming record but really did not offer any incite from actual band members.....that was it..between 1994 and mid to late 1999 we literally heard nothing..I remember in the summer of 1997 Kurt Loder did a "wheres Axl" segment for the news break on MTV.  Im not sure who else on this board remembers it...Its been a long time coming...I remember all of those things like it was yesterday...I am very glad that there is a site like this one that is ACCURATE and fair to the band...there are alot of bullshit sites out there, I have always known that this is one I could come to to find out what is REALLY going on with GNR...Before there was even a Guns N Roses.com,,I remember it was GNRonline.com  and it NEVER GOT UPDATED EVER!!!  FOR YEARS!!!!  Anyway I will cut this off now cause i think I have rambled on enough.  This is a great time to be a Guns N Roses fan..I have had the opportunity to see the new band 6 times...in the front row of GA for 4 of them, that is something that I never thought would be possible back in the dark ages that was the late 90's...I have no doubt that this record is going to be worth the wait....

Good post, Shadows.   

You're right, there have been some dark days over the past 15 years but I firmly believe that we're at the dawn of something fantastic just now.  And I second your comments about this site; it's great to have a place where rumours are dispelled and where being optimistic and supportive isn't considered a crime.

I'm not going to say 'welcome back' to GNR because, in my eyes chaps, you never went away.  Instead, I'll just say that I hope the release of SR achieves everything you're hoping for and that it's the merely the ap?ritif with which to whet our tastebuds before the ultimate cocktail of delights that will be Chinese Democracy.

So how can we hear shackler's if we don't have the game?  Will links be allowed?

I've been thinking of this too ! And it's only released in USA, what about the rest of the world ?

Anyway, it is cool to think there's finally going to be something official out 

Rock Band is the USA only?   Certainly not!

Rock Band has not been released in Australia yet, let alone Rock Band 2. This sucks ass.

if you want it that bad, isn't there a way to buy it from a US store and have it shipped

[gunns1]

australia is an untapped market for this kinda thing..

GNR music is why i love them.

Axl Rose good luck in this new album and i will be supporting until my dead!

Cant wait to get the new album and tour with you again!

[Sillything]

Good luck with the new song! It's so fuckin great!  I love it! I want to buy it now!!

I have been a fan of GNR since 87. I liked the old stuff immensely, but I absolutely LOVE the new band and the change in direction.

From what I've heard of the new songs, they are f'n awesome. Not just a new style, it's a reinvention. Those are real songs, and the lyrics are some of the best I've heard in years. The music they are doing now is just as relevant as what the new bands are doing today. I definitely wish to support them for the first commercially released material. Hopefully CD is before end of year. Go Axl & GNR.

Well, its out, officially.  I was really hoping to see something on Gunsnroses.com...give us a sign, please!  Post the song on your MySpace! 

[kollemann]

GNR leave the silence if they release Chinese Democracy......

[Death Cube K]

Can't wait. Hope it's a good song!

[gcluskey]

Welcome to the board, bitstorm.  It's a very exciting time to be a GNR fan and I agree with you 100% about both the old and the new songs.  Can't wait to hear CD - hopefully the wait is almost over.

Toast shackler's rockband 2 revenge!

That was very kind of you to welcome me cyllan, thank you very much. 

I have been a lurker here for many years. I came out of hiding because I do believe we will see a release sometime soon. I do not have any inside information or anything like that, what inspired me to post was that enough people have come forward to say the album is indeed finished, and the new music I'd heard (whether it will be on CD or not) is definitely worth talking about. I have often seen the phrase "epic" used to describe the music and I think it's very appropriate. I can't remember the last time I got this excited about a new album, and I definitely want to show support for the band.
