CD on Universals 4th quarter release list!?

[sofine11]

Axl said " he will share his Dr. Pepper with Buckethead" what does that tell ya ! Chinese Democracy is coming out in 2008 ! Shacklers is out if he didn't intend on releasing the album he wouldn't of put the song on Rockband 2.

He should have followed that statement up with his famous "This is not a lie, a promise, etc..." so the apologists can continue to do their thing.  

Apologists?


Let me guess, you're a realist.

Nah, believe me I hate to be unoptimistic about the release situation.  God knows I'm gonna buy 10 copies just for the hell of it when it's released, just out of sheer excitement as a fan.  Saw the band live in both 02 and 06 and will support them to the end no matter what.  However, that being said, if the planned 08 release fails to produce any results...I think it's safe to say that something aint right.  We'll never know what's preventing a release. But if this fall comes and goes with no news of the album, something, well...strange has got to be preventing it's release.

Shackler's Revenge sounds great and I'm way psyched that Guns has put out a new tune.  BUT...I think we all know that real payoff for both the fans and the band is the release of Chinese Democracy.  Being a tad jaded after everything we've been through does not make ANYONE any less of a fan.

After looking at the list I believe its real ! if you look in the past and all those artist who released a album they all did.  Eminem is on the schedule for Dec and MTV news has a article on it and it says you will be seeing him real soon.  EVERYONE QUIT COMPLAINING THE ALBUM WILL BE OUT THIS YEAR.

That's the spirit.

They should wait until Rock Band 2 is out in the PAL region when everybody else can play the new song...

[Howard2k]

Why does a September forecast list include previous releases?

Why is called "major releases releases".  Did they have a spare "releases" around and decide to throw it in here?

Why would a forecast list not include any known dates?

Why did they use such a poor version of the logo into the top left corner? Do they not create these on a recurring basis?  Would they not have professional corporate templates?

we've looked into the source of the file and double checked with another source who is close to universal and both point to a 4th quarter release for gnr at this time....which i believe is nov 08 - feb 09 but that being said ... its not like things havent changed before, but it appears the promised land may finally be near

and we also have 2 sources claiming that geffen is going to be the label...one being universal canada the other being this list

buckle up this may start to get interesting   if not we keep waiting

Q= quarter.  so Q4 is Oct/Nov/Dec assuming a calendar year.   Some organizations use a year starting April 1, so in that case Q4 would be Jan/Feb/Mar.   But it would not be both.   

[faldor]

This seems like good news.  I don't see why it's so hard to believe that this would be the plan.  If that plan can be executed, well that remains to be seen.  I have no idea what the accuracy percentage a major record labels forecasted releases is?  I'd assume it's not 100%, so while it's possible the Nov. 25th rumor just may come true, I'd wait to pop the cork on the champagne until we hear definite word.  Things are closer than they ever have been though, so that's cause for celebration alone.

Good point, anyone know which Q4 Universal uses?

[IKnowWhereIAM]

Call me a skeptic,  but this list looks waaaayyy phony.  Too many 'friend of a friends' working at Interscope, 'intercepted e-mails', psychic forcasters, etc.  I still believe we will have an album in our hands this year - in spite of the shortage of reliable information.

I will trust a release date when I see it in 'News' section here, or on gunsnroses.com

According to the attachment, Q4 = Oct/Nov/Dec.

well there ya go but i thought fiscal quarters are broken down like this

Q1 = Mar - May
Q2 = Jun - Aug
Q3 = Sept - Nov
Q4 = Dec - Feb

but the list is obviously created with calender quarters

besides with the 8 weeks rule, if the release date is late november we are still 10 weeks from then so technically we shouldnt even know about this for another 2-3 more weeks

another thing to keep in mind...we were told about htis list 3 days ago but didnt see the excel spreadsheet until this morning..and the list is apparently from late august...since then the papa roach album has already been delayed until february 09 so like i said things can always change...but as of like now we are told that gnr is still on the 4th quarter schedule...how the next few weeks play out is another story and one we'll have to wait and watch it unfold

People are so hung up on numbers. Like years.

Wow..I really hope that was sarcasm. Because it may have been the "slowest" thing ever emitted by your fingers.

Thanks.

It means a lot to me to not be like you. 


Will it be out in 2006, 2007 or 2008? How about just caring about it being out once it's ready for release? No matter what the year is....

[Howard2k]

It'll be out in Q5.

FALL MUSIC PREVIEW
Legends of the Fall
Some of the season's biggest potential hits are still just rumors.  Will they come out?

Guns n' Roses

WHAT IT IS  You don't know?  Axl Rose has been working on G n' R's comeback disc, Chinese Democracy, since the Nineties.

THE OFFICIAL LINE  No comment whatsoever.  Axl who?

WHAT WE HEAR  Rose hired a high-powered new management team this year, and the Chinese Democracy track "Shackler's Revenge" is on the new Rock Band 2.  A source says the group has reserved a November date - and is in talks with Best Buy for an exclusive release.  That said, don't hold your breath - this is Chinese Democracy we're talking about.

[ben9785]

Oh please let this be true..

I'm always looking forward to this album coming out in its own time .. but if it is really not so far away.. wow..

[FunkyMonkey]

. It is pretty pathetic to say the least that an album could possibly take 15 years to create.

It's not pathetic really.

A good spaghetti bolognese takes three times longer to cook than the usual one people eat.

If Axl can stick to his 'Guns' and release the material he wants the way he wants it, then that is great. We live one life, let people do what they want to do.

I have to agree with that.  After all these years, to do it any other way...now that would be pathetic.

[Nytunz]

well... i love GNR and ever will... but.. we need to know facts about humanbehavior when talking about GnR.!

Yeah! We know people have waited lots lots lots of years for new material. We know how hard it is to wait for our favorite artist to release music.
I dont think we always have to blame the fans, because they are humans, and they are reacting the way humans do. I also really do wish Axl could give us a sign..We cant pretend that we dont care about GnR. coz thats why we are here. Thats what most of us do.. I know the Rockband 2 release was a kind of a sign.. but what now? Not everyone plays games like this..

Not saying i loose hope. But i would really like to know more about whats going on..

[shadyklyde]

well idk about the others but flobots cd came out may. i doubt theyll release another a couple months later.  i know some of the others are correct though. So who knows. Only time will tell

edit: also, Eminem, Dr Dre, 50 Cent, all on the same page. all friends with each other. Dont think they would release each others album so close together. most people wait awhile so they dont have to compete with sales.
