be happy people Axl said CD THIS YEAR!!!!!!

[Scabbie]

As long as its this year I don't mind when

I can't fucking wait to have a copy of Chinese Democracy in my hands....I'm saving a days holiday for this one! 

What would be funny if Axl decided to call the second or third album 'Chinese Democracy'. That way we'd get our music and still have the suspense of waiting for CD!

[Lara]

WooHoo! It's really gonna be a Merry Christmas this year!

Why does everyone assume that these are warm-up shows? Maybe they aren't playing 10+ warmup shows...

Maybe the band just likes playing for the hell of it?

That's what Axl called them.

Was that the second kroq interview?  I think that's when it was.  Either way I know he called the Vegas and Cali dates warm up shows.

I don't have it handy but he didn't refer to all 10 shows as warmups did he? but to the shows before KROQ's Inland Invasion one, if my memory serves me correctly.

Or would he say to kroq that headlining their festival was a warmup?

"We've announced our Vegas warm up shows on the 16 & 17 and then we'll be doing some warm up shows in San Francisco"

Besides whatever he called them, he said the tour starts on October 24th on MTV so I would gather anything before that is warm up shows.

I hope what Axl said is true, he seemed a little "here and there" with his answer to John Norris* (who he doesn't really like from old days) FINGERS CROSSED! ?I'm positive he'll pull through- c'mon Axl!

*That's why Axl gave him the "Fuck You" hand shake twice. The first hand shake he squeezed Norris' hand hard, watch and you can tell.

When did Axl ever say he hated Norris?? Norris has always been pro GNR like Loder. Here and there answers?? Axl was pretty blunt and to the point. A 'fuck you' handshake?? Gimme a break. Axl knows who at MTV has supported him all these years, and I doubt he would be giving out "fuck you" handshakes to those people.

You are the perfect example of someone overanalyzing a situation.

[Lord Kayoss]

At the end of the day the record company decides when the album comes out, not Axl.

If this were true the album would've been out years ago.

But even if you are correct, Axl and the band should wait until after the album comes out to tour, bottom line.  I predict 2002 will happen all over again without it.

Good call.

If anything Axl gave him a firm handshake. Nothing to anaylize there.

[the dirt]

Ok. Axl said CD this year.

And I'm happy about it.

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

This year just keeps getting better. already got to see gnr four times and sure I will see them a few more times this fall. We know the cd is going to be out by the end the year. What a great year so far and it's just going to get better from here on out.

I never said Axl has anything against MTV. Why don't you take a closer look at GNRhistory and you'll find that Axl doesn't really have a high opinion of John Norris. There has always been a bit of tension between the two. It's ok if you don't see it, it was so subtle....

[Steel_Angel]

uhhh. you're crazy..^^

i know what a fuck you hand shake looks like(see how axl was moving back? it looked like he was freaked out)..ive been getting them from teachers over the years... those werent it..

  Axl's a class act he as forgotten the past. Back in the day Norris wasn't the most favorable reporter for GNR at MTV and Axl usally like to avoid him.
