Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Everybody is saying now what ? the European Tour is over and now Axl is gonna go back to his cave and its a repeat of 2002.  WRONG !!!! lets adventure back to 2002 and then revisit 06.

2002

- Suprise concert at VMA'S

- Kurt Loder interview with Axl

- US Tour cancelled half way

2006

- Axl shows up at a Korn party

- Axl shows up to soprano's party

- Axl  says you will hear music this year

- Axl is on the Eddie Trunk Radio show

- Guns N Roses play 4 New York shows

- They go on tour with new songs

- Axl is everywhere in the spolight from pics of Hilfiger fight, Beta, Vanessa, random girls.

- Izzy is playing with the band

- Axl Says US Tour in Sept

Well it looks to me that the Guns N Roses of 2002 wasn't ready and where not gelling as a band.  After four years everyone is on the same page and it is time for Axl to make a huge comeback.  I see no evidence of this band quiting again we will have a single probaly mid-late Aug and the Album will probaly drop in Oct or Nov.  Axl is not dumb he knows what he's doing and by the end of the year everyone from little kids to teenie boppers to old ladies will know who Guns N Roses are.

You're counting your chickens - but yeah, I expect the album to come out this year.

This is retarded. There was so much hype in 02 too. It wasnt like some dud that just fizzled away mid-tour.

2006 is special because there is new songs, Axl saying CD will be out soon and radio interviews? Hello?!? There were all those things in 02.

We have all been down this road before, but for some strange reason, i think this time its really gonna ahppen...august and sept will be what we have all been waiting for

The album will be out this year and it will be great - thats why Axl played as few as one new song per show - a clear sign of the limitless confidence he has in this album :confused:

actually in 2002 axl admitted soon would not be the word on Live TV.

Actually he did a radio interview and said it would be out within a year or so. "Soon" is an ambiguous word - could mean anything. What he said in the radio interview was far more definate.

wahatever happended in 2002 is not relevant anymore

GNR is back . No doubt that we are going to see  the album this year :hihi:

I'm all positive 'bout the album coming out this year! I have absolutley no facts to back that up but hey, I believe in Axl.

yup,i never been so positive this time.GNR is the only hope to save rock music.not just rock n' roll.if this album never come out.maybe in 5-7 years, rock music will be forgotten,replaced by RnB,emo and all that shit.
worst case scenario if CD never comes out:  Axl get  shot by some obsession maniacal fans ,who's angry because CD its his only reasons to live. :nervous:just like what happen to john lennon.

Get to feck.  You clearly have no liking for this band, so why are you spending time on this site?  Bugger off back to your crappy Beatle plagarist britpop bands and leave rock music to those who are interested in it. 

you dont know what you are talking about.
you have no idea what was happening in 2002.

here's only a few things...

there was the WARMUP TOUR!
(Asia and Europe)
there was the press release by Axl
Paul Huge was replaced by Richard Fortus
Bucketheadland opened a new section on it's forum for GNR discussion
Tommy Stinson and Dizzy gave a couple of interviews saying that 2002 was the year of GNR
at the new years eve 2001/2002 there were 2 shows, and Axl looked better than ever
New producer was hired.

etc, etc

Totally agree. Not to mention the shows (that happened) were fantastic. Just listen to the Boston soundboard  :peace:

This is the first year that I believe it is coming. All the previous I always said "Yea right."

I will be shocked if it does not drop before the year is up.

did axl say u.s. tour in sept. or just 1 show????

yeah and they played new songs back then too.. they played the blues and madagascar at least.. don't know if they still played R&B and silkworms.. but madagascar and the blues were played so that's not only now in 06 they've played  new songs.. sorry for my bad english but i hope you guys understand :hihi: : ok:

it feels like we caught axl in mid-metamorphosis in 2002.
like if you ripped open a cocoon or something.

i know there's no way to know definitely, but it seems like he is more ready in 2006.

I guess it will be moore shows, the band said that they are ready to hit the states i september ?:beer:

And btw i also think it would come out this year....people around the world and defently the people here should get that as a gift, i mean people has spoken about the new album on this site and on other sites, since 1997 ?!?!...9 years...so in a way it?s kind of pathetic to sit an talk about an album who hasn?t come out ?yet..for ..9 years ?>:(!..So that?s why it should be released THIS YEAR ?:yes:

and in the future people can finally close this deal and move on to other stuff..like AXL?s vampire - tour ?( just kidding )

i hope there is a tour. just not the one show. i got a chance to talk to the band for a while ( well everyone except axl),  it just didnt sound very promising. i talked to a road crew guy also, he reffered to guns as a circus. lets just hope for the best.

I'm with you here :)  This tour was a huge success...if Axl had any doubts, im sure he knows he has a legion of fans that simply wont let go :)

I'm quite shocked the differences between the 2002 and 2006 tours are so unclear to some people. Even more so the differences in the behavior of Mr. Rose. Even putting aside the obviously intentional leak of new songs in February, the months of oh-so-public socializing and the shockingly casual radio interview. For him to actually commit to releasing music within months is a giant leap forward. To play such an intense tour, uphold that shamelessly public social scene and even add more dates to tours is anything unlike what happened in 2002. His voice and even the band's performance were immeasurably better than four years ago. If the plan goes ahead, this is the beginning. Axl himself even admitting 2002 was merely an effort to keep the band together. Look at the effort that has been made by both band and management through press releases to keep things running smooth. This is the beginning. I'm not going to quite believe it until it's officially announced, but I'm at least expecting a single in the next couple of months.

No, they are still not playing an entire show of new songs, and until the album is well and truly on the shelves, they won't. 99% of this tour was to an audience who knew nothing of this lineup and arrived skeptical of what was going to happen. Because they bring out the big hitters and play them with passion and skill that hasn't been heard since 1989, people leave convinced they were worth the money, the name and the willingness to accept Chinese Democracy as a 'Guns N' Roses' record. Despite a seemingly large army of Chinese Democracy-thirsty online stalkers, they're playing to an audience where only 5% have even heard that there are demos out there. Anyone who witnessed the amazing audiences instantly silenced when the unfamiliar (though brilliant) riff of 'Better' rung out will know what I'm saying. Until the album is out, and probably not even until the second is near, will new material dominate the set-lists. They play for the people, not the nerds. Until the risk of losing the audience and the mystic of the album has gone, don't expect to hear 'This I Love' or whatever song you've been waiting all these years for. It would be insanity to do so.

I can't wait till the album actually comes out and they stop touring Appetite. I will consider the band serious at that point. Until then, they are just rehashing 2002 as far as i'm concerned.
