Tommy on q1043 (was: Chinese democracy news on radio?)

[dboyd13]

  Wow,
          great interview!   Sounds like the new album is ready to roll!!!!!

[Buddha_Master]

So...


he musics done...its been done, eh?


Alright, maybe I dont know the whole process and shit but, to me, this would mean that the albums been mixed and all that shit, and done means done. So, how long can an album that is DONE, sit around before its released? Is there a chance in hell that the label would nt want this out as soon as fucking possible. No fucking way. If the album isnt out by May, then this is bullshit.

Now, I have heard the band members say a whole lot of shit about CD, but the one thing I have never heard is, "The musics done, its been done." That is major!

Now for the first time in 2 Years...I am genuinely excited again. Goddamnit!

yeah i dont think it will be long now before we get an announcement about the release date and the first single. Im thinking in the next 2-3 weeks we will hear official news.

[dont_damn_me]

Didn't everone assume the music was done at this point anyway?     Doesn't shed any light on a CD release date.

[vicarious existence]

Now, I have heard the band members say a whole lot of shit about CD, but the one thing I have never heard is, "The musics done, its been done." That is major!

Exactly! It's a far cry from the "hairs breadth"-type comments. I truly believe we're in the final stretch right now and there's nothing left to do but announce a release date.

Didn't everone assume the music was done at this point anyway?     Doesn't shed any light on a CD release date.

Yeah some of us assumed it was done, but we have never actually heard from Tommy that the music is absolutely done, and been done at that...

[Johnnyblood]

Staggering.

Out of the Box: Allright let me ask the Guns N' Roses question

Tommy Stinson: Pop it out.

Out of the Box:: Tell us where that is now... tell us the name of the album, because I forgot already... it's supposed... is it Chinese...? What's...

Tommy Stinson: The record is going to be called Chinese Democracy, unless something should change in that -- I don't think it will. uhm... and it will hopefully be out this -- early on this year

Out of the Box:: in 2005?

Tommy Stinson: Yeah, and we'll get out and tour behind it and do all the stuff that you do behind a rock record

Out of the Box:: Right

Tommy Stinson: (Inaudible)

Out of the Box:: (laughs) Yeah, hopefully. We love that. Um.. you did a show at the Garden with Guns N' Roses

Tommy Stinson: Yeah

Out of the Box:: About a year or more ago at this point

Tommy Stinson: 2 years ago now

Out of the Box:: 2 years ago.... then the craziness... incident in Philadelphia where the show was cancelled or something, right?

Tommy Stinson: Yeah, there was a there was a problem with the.. with the promoting aspect of that tour... they pulled the plug on it and I can't really go into it

Out of the Box:: Right...

Tommy Stinson: needless to say it wasn't our fault

Out of the Box:: Okay

Tommy Stinson: Wasn't Axl's fault

Out of the Box:: Good

Tommy Stinson: His slate and our slate is clean. He just gets the blame for it because thats where people like to throw the blame - at him

Out of the Box:: So as you're in guns n roses... and when you do that... when you have... you know when you're actually working with him...are you writing with him? Are you just rehearsing and.. the songs with him when he's ready to go into the studio? or?

Tommy Stinson: No. We we all kinda... we kinda all work together. It's a strange process Ive never done before but basically its eight people collaborating on said tidbits of music or you know stuff we work up it can be any number of things.. I think all of us so far have brought in pieces of music that we've worked into the bew record in one form or another and for the most part its a total collaborative effort - him involved and us all involved and kinda mushing stuff around and trying to make songs out of it I think the outcome of that has been extrodinary
like I hadn't - I hadn't done that before with the replacements was all Paul wrote the songs and kinda dictated what we were gonna do and stuff where Axl is more of a inclusive kind of guy and uh --

Out of the Box:: So thats good to know. A lot of people might think otherwise of Axl --

Tommy Stinson: Yeah, yeah -- that's kinda why I wanted to talk about it...

Out of the Box: Because of (inaudible) reputation

Tommy Stinson: ...because people kinda have this whole different thing on him - and its not really up to me to destroy the myth, but -

Out of the Box:: Of course -

Tommy Stinson: But the one myth I can destroy is that - he is very much a collaborator. Pretty much produced this record as far as I'm concerned. And the stuff that is on it - I'm VERY proud of. I think it's amazng

Out of the Box:: Really?

Tommy Stinson: The things I heard before I went on tour were.. were absolutely awesome to me.. so....

Out of the Box:: Where are the.. .are the tracks pretty much done and they're just trying to find a date to release or there're a few more things to do?

Tommy Stinson: The artwork, all those little things like that, getting all the, you know...the particulars, the little bits done...

Out of the Box:: Right

Tommy Stinson: ...so they can actually get a release date and put it out

Out of the Box:: So the music is done?

Tommy Stinson: The music's DONE

Out of the Box:: Oh, okay.

Tommy Stinson: It's BEEN done... for a while

Out of the Box: Wow, we can't wait to hear it. Come by with a few copies will ya? (laughs)

[Tied-Up]

So...

Now for the first time in 2 Years...I am genuinely excited again. Goddamnit!

I think Buddha Master is ready to offer his stool sample...   

[christina_rose]

All I have to say is I could possibly believe Q104.3 doing stuff, but PLJ is adult contemporary, and there's no reason for them to say anything about GNR. Just my two cents. Anyway. I read the Tommy interview, and I'm very very hopeful. I am looking forward to the next few months to see what happens.

[blues rocker]

this is VERY good...things appear to be finally moving towards a release

[DemocracyRose]

HAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AAAAHAHA
Wow, what exactly are the fuckin chances. After all these fake rumours. Well Ill take it back  , but his friend can still eat a dick untill I hear a new Gn'r song

[True Believer]

The MUSIC, that he refers to as "done.  It's BEEN done. " sounds to me like it could be just the instrumental parts.  The Music.  The VOCALS might be a different thing entirely.

[hackvresse]

Music means instrumental parts AND vocals

[SLG]

[Voodoochild]

Thanks Eva GnRAxlRosette for the transcript. 
Great news, huh? 

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

i'd do a backflip right now but i'm in the school library.. plus i'm afraid that i'll crack my skull open and will never get to hear CD when its SO close right now.. how much would that suck to have something bad happen when CD is THIS close to release? that's it.. i'm movin into a bubble until CD's released! 

[Scabbie]

Unfuckinnnn believable - first the publishing deal, now Tommy, all we need now is for the hermit to come out of hibernation and deliver the news we've been waiting for! ROCK N' ROLL

Would anyone like to guess what we're gonna see first? Press release? Website update?
