What do we think happened in 2003 and 2004?

[ShotgunBlues1978]

There've been reports that the album will be coming out for about 5 years, but most of them were speculative or did not come straight from the horse's mouth.  In the past 6 months we've had two people actually in the band state that the music is finished.  I've never heard that stated by anyone until 2004.

Doug Goldstein back in 2001 said that Chinese Democracy was 99% done musically and 80% vocally.

It was after Rock in Rio 3

I've been waiting for ever for this album if its not out in 2005 iam giving up on guns n roses ive been a fan since i was ten years old, and iam twenty four now.

I think Axl caught the flu

[jameslofton29]

[AdZ]

Axl bought an x-box.

[gigger]

In 2004 Axl completed GTA: Vice City.

In 2005 he hopes to complete GTA: San Andreas. According to Tommy he's 99% done!

Axl has probably nursing his bruised ego after the last tour disaster, and the less than positive live response to the 'new' tunes.

During Chinese democracy, the blues, and madagascar people got up to get their popcorn and beer. And what the fuck did he expect not having a single on the radio or an album in stores. I mean really what was the point.

Anyway, who knows what the fuck he's been doing. selling off his publishing shares, and playing video games. I honestly think he hasn't done much.

a day in the life of axl

1:00 pm gets up, showers, eats, etc
2:00pm calls his lawyers for the lastest updates
3:00pm pulls out a slash voo doo doll and pokes holes in it
4:00pm works out on his expensive muscle stimulating machine
5:00pm sits at the piano, plays a few notes then bashes his head into the keys like the guy on seasame street and yell "its just no good!!"
6:00pm calls earl, and they head down to the local steakhouse
8:00pm Gets home has a starbucks coffee and freaks out
9:00 pm calls tommy "tommy don't book any more shows were going on tour in two months.... Make sure you remember all the chords to november rain or your fucking fired.
10:00 Phones to see if buckethead is still in the band...
11:00 finally heads to the studio starts listening to the tracks
12:00am sings two notes...."nah I just don't feel like singing"
1:00am "Dizzy get down here fucking now we need more keyboards on the blues"
              "Axl there is already 30 keyboard parts, a orchestra, 30 guitar parts, five drum loops, 3 bass tracks, and a fucking flute solo. Maybe you should just sing it"
              "Fuck you dizzy... what band did you play in before GNR... ya thats right 'the wild' now get your keyboard playing ass down here and play"
2:00 Dizzy shows up and axl yells at him for 6 hours about how his keyboard tone isn't modern enough and nothing gets down.
8:00am... axl has mint tea and goes to bed

The next day he calls robin instead of dizzy.


Thats what axl's been doing.

Really? That's not nice.

[Wooody]

I hate haters. 

Ironic I know.

But I hate them.

Get a life.

[Crashdiet]

I'm not a hater. If you looked at the majority of my posts on this site they are pro-axl. I mean  I love the guy and think he is genious. I check here every fucking day waiting for a glimmer of hope that something will get released. I think the new stuff is awesome. but I don't think axl does or he would have released an album by now.

I'm past the point of being optimistic.

[welshrose]

Everyone who is on this board isnt a hater. We are all above average GNR fans and will bye the album. Shit Ill bye at least 3 when it comes out.  The fact of the matter is, dont have the managment tell me in 2001 that its 99% done musically..then it doesnt come out. Or Axl in 2002 going we are wrapping up the baby we have the cover, the tracklisting...and then in London telling me how many tracks there are.

My beef is, when we have these cancellations or delays, tell us why. Thats all I ask for, Ill still buy the album, just give me a reason, an occasional update..thats it.

Thats what axl's been doing.

  That's a riot.

[Crowebar]

Axls' doing whatever the fuck he wants to do and quite literally doesn't give a fuck what anybody thinks.

He lives his life and does what he wants.

That's it.


He's gonna release the album eventually and it will probably be fucking unbelievable when we finally hear it.
