Gunsnroses.com updated with CD update

[metallex78]

Call me stupid, but I don't get this bit...

There is no official release date

Um, then why did Axl even announce a tentative March 6th release date to begin with if the album wasn't even completed...?

And all that talk, or should I say blame, about Merck not setting the album up properly for release by the end of 2006 doesn't make ANY sense when the album wasn't even finished until now.


I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying this, but us GN'R fans sure get strung along...

[hebbesy]

this makes me think that maybe this is all part of a potential surprise promotion.

Is it possible that this update has been sitting around for a while and that the web sight is just being slow to update.

I can still see this as a March releas the complete vageness of the update just makes me think 

[Continental Drift]

Is it just me, or is it great to finally see someone else on the mainpage of the official site besides Axl?  If this band is going to become as big as we all want them to be the band has to become known to the general public.

Completely agree. Guys/personalities like Robin, Tommy, Richard, BBF, Frank etc. need to be taken advantage of. These are all great guys who not only have amazing chops, but most people out there would love to hang out with. Stinson and Fortus, for example, are so cool and rock n' roll without even trying to be.... GN'R needs to take advantage of that angle... and not just be seen as Axl, the old keyboardist whose name sounds like Izzy, and 6 faceless yes men.

To appease everyone who were disappointed when 2006 was not the year after all? He did admit the album wasn't completed, didn't elaborate how much there was to do.

[Risico]

Sweet deal. One milestone reached, time to sprint (or lightly jog) to the finish line. 

[Scabbie]

They could have done a little better with the photo of Frank and Bbf lounging around on the sofa! I mean come on guys how about a pic of Frank on the drums in the studio?

Its important to lend credibility to your statements and whilst I'm genuinely happy the recording has finished a little more work on an update wouldn't harm, for the bands sake alone

[shredsolo]

it says on the official website that its still in the mixing process at the minute

axl said it would take approx 8 weeks from when its handed over to the record company

so id imagine we are at least 2 months away for a release

[WARose]

late april/may

everything is cool

[Scabbie]

Mixing. Mmmk.

"Certain minor, and by that I do mean minor adjustments", eh??

Just sayin...

Yeah certain minor adjustments that took 2 and a half months because it was actually recording (NOT adjustments but additions). And now we've got mixing going on, plus mastering. It's at least 2-3 months away I think. Likely a summer release at the earliest.? March 6th my ass.

Dude you obviously know nothing about mixing or mastering. It'll prolly take 1 week max for the mixing, then another few days for the mastering. I think we should have the album by April.

1 week max? Most bands take a 1-2 yrs to record a record.

I say a month for mixing up to end march a weeks mastering, all finished before the tour starts. Album is released 6-8 weeks later May or June depending on those darn 'contract negotiations'. And we all know what a pain in the arse Axl can be with those! (quote RIR)

Wow, news!!!

no, less than 2 months: 8 weeks to be on the shelves from the label are already a month, and I don't think the mixing will take other 8 weeks

Fair comment. At a certain point it's up to us to not allow ourselves to be strung along though... there's so much about the Axl-Merck, Axl-Doug Goldstein, Axl-Buckethead, Axl-Paul Tobias, Axl-Slash, Axl-Duff, Axl-Steven, Axl-Stephanie, Axl-Universal, Axl-Sanctuary, Axl-Philadelphia, Axl-Vancouver, Axl-Erin.... relationships that we don't know shit about that it's futile to even put much stock in anything that is said by anybody.... the safer course is to just sit back on the sidelines and applaud actual verifiable news when it does come in (however rarely)- the rest is proceed at your own caution territory. We all love Axl- but this IS Mr. "I want to be late to my own funeral" were talkin' about here...

Oh my! This is something pretty amazing to wake up to! Great news! We are nearly there people! Please dont turn this into a negative thread! All the people who have put some rather depressing posts in this thread already should delete them and start getting a few positive vibes into them! It is happening my fellow Guns N Roses fans!!

They seem to be really trying to get this our around the South African shows or soon after. I would love to see it come out on my birthday May 1st. What a birthday present that would be.

[kollemann]

Release Late April/May.

Soon is the word

[GNRfan2008]

Release Late April/May.

Soon is the word

I wouldn't mind that. The single release is what I want at this point because it will tide us over until the album. If they give it proper promotion, then a single would need to be out fairly soon (mid-March?).

Ehi guy ... this album will never come out .. and it's a REAL DIE HARD FAN SPEAKIN'.
Don' you remember the mixin' process during UYI:it took almost one year .
Now we're talkin' about over a decade of recordings with 2/3 drummers , 5 or more guitarist and varioous other people involved.
And i want to add another thing: certainly axl will be a supervisor to the mixin' process after all this time spent to wrap the baby up:what happen if mixin' isn't done and there's a world tour to play?

[NicoRourke]

Is it just me, or is it great to finally see someone else on the mainpage of the official site besides Axl?

No, there's me too

Besides, it's a cool picture, and I'm happy that FF is arround, he's awesome

Good news, recording is now officialy done. Let's hope that the mixing process will go right on track, and that they won't change just like they did during the UYI's mixing.

[WARose]

definitely awesome news.

they updated the show as well by the way

[Bruno Poeys]

lol 1 year of mixing? you're getting crazy...
