Axl on kroq!

[younggunner]

Its gonna be real lame if this album isnt out by the end of the yr and they continue to tour without one.

I just dont get what the fuck his problem is if that ends up to be the case. Go finish the dam album then tour. If you dont wanna finish the album, fine, but dont tour either. Its getting old now.

oh yeah it`s getting really old now...  but the year isn`t over yet though

[younggunner]

to me it makes perfect sense to debut the single at the vmas. Release it the next day. DO the warm ups and kick off the US Tour at that kroq show. And then release the album sometime in October. Why is that so hard?

and if vmas are too soon, fine...then debut the single at the kroq show and release the album in late oct/nov....

instead we are gonna get the same setlists. a descent sized us tour witht he same set! and no album...not good....

[Mattattack]

Is it just me, or did it seem like Axl was almost admitting that he can't top the old stuff, and that he's cool with playing the old stuff again, although it bugged him when he was recording the album? I just thought that was a little weird when he was talking about playing the old stuff.

[Chief]

not really.. but just that he realizes that people have Huge reactions to it and they pretty much have to do some of the old material in the shows even if he isn't in that same space these days..

Sounds alot like the Monsters of Rock tour that came through town with Poison and Cinderella headlining. They drew real good sized crowds and played a nostalgic set list. People had a great time and all was well. Thing is, GNR wants to at some point become a non-nostalgic, relevant act again.

Yet another U.S. tour with no album release will put them dangerously close to being seen as a nostalgia act touring around on songs that were popular 15-20 years ago like Poison does.

Stop the madness and the negativety.


There is no need for Axl to talk about the release of the new cd prior to a concert that will happen prior to its release.


Just relax. ?The songs for the cd have been completed. ?What remained was the final selection of the tracks for the first cd. ?This is where Chinese Demopcracy stood while they were touring Europe. ?That task may have been accomplished. ?Final product may be in the works as we speak for Axl to review once he returns to the states............soon I'm sure. ?

There's no need to get all worked up. ?Stay positive. ?This ball is still rolling in the right direction.

[Mattattack]

The album will definitely come out at some point. If Axl wanted to be a nostalgia act he would just ring up Slash. Axl could make way more money and play to way more people if he reformed the old band. Bottom line is that Axl cares about the music more then anything else and he will do things in his own unique way. I'm just glad I didn't bet anybody that the album was coming out this year.

[Voodoochild]

IMO, he hinted about cd being done or close when he said how he was searching for a direction in the recordings...

Also, if he said he'll add more new songs on the tour, I'm pretty sure he'll do it within the release of at least a single and/or b-sides.

[agropolus]

I'd never ever bet money on when CD will be released. I was sure it would be out in 2001, then again in 2002, and again it looks like this might be the year, but we can never know for sure, I became really really skeptical over the years about the release of the album, so I just don't hold my breath anymore

DJ: How did you go about putting the setlist together for this? Tell people what they're gonna see when they come out to the Guns N' Roses rock show on the 23rd of September. You're doing a lot of the old stuff. How much new stuff are you doing?

Axl: It varies, sometimes four to six new songs. Maybe seven. Umm, right now, and that'll grow as we beging touring. More songs, or new songs.

i refuse to give up hope that cd WILL come out this year! 

[flickn]

from a business side of it , one not discussed yet , if any album is to be released , it has to have time to be packaged and mass mailed to massive retail outlets......the final product is upon us.Say if it is november , the mastering is done now , and massive production would reumne anytime now one would think , right in time a for a tour , or shortyl shortly there after.


think about it......

So the 4-6 are Chinese Democracy, The Blues, Madagascar, TWAT, IRS, and Better. Whats the "maybe 7" part of it? The fact that they had Rhiad as a possibility on some setlists? The possibility that they might have planned playing Catcher in the Rye if Brian May had shown up on time? Or maybe he's counting one of the new covers like Sway or back in the Fuckin UK...

That should excite people. I doubt Silk Worms or Oh My God are going to do a comeback, so aside CITR, there's a real good chance to hear new material very soon.

Yeah, it's probably a placeholder like it was during the '02 tour. They only did it in Detroit, and were reportedly supposed to in Vancouver. Likely a B-side, that one, otherwise I think they'd keep playing it more often.

Riyadh and The Bedouins - it's already been confirmed that they've rehearsed it.

[jthunders13]

said they'd be adding more new songs as the us tour goes on...thats good news

[JohnMorrison73]

hes in a great mood in this!! he said "have a nice day!" 

[freddiebrph]

I HATE when people start talking abot the old songs and say it is okay for this gnr to do it again. They say, Yea man, poison and cinderella do it ?and pull in big crowds, why cant gnr?" Very simple, This is a NEW BAND. If Axl wants to tour old songs, than he might as well let the guys who wrote the music play them, Why bring new guys to cover the old bands music? Any one can do that. We need the cd before the tour PERIOD! anything else, and it will fail.
