Gunsnroses.com updated with CD update

[The Chad Cometh]

wooo,
something 

 

This is indeed good news. Heres to hoping a concrete date is not too far away.

[quarky]

The update is great news. Things are progressing. Just hurry up and release the damn thing 

[kollemann]

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?).

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

Perhaps. We'll see though.

Well all new march was optimistic.

The tour is shaping up nicely and its clear that CD is finally in its final final stages of completion!!!

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!!!

I apologize if this is a dead horse, so somebody in the know, feel free to give a brief answer: What is the status of GNRs drummer?  Is Frank the new drummer, or do they have two?

[Q4Q4LS1]

Shouldn't be long now.

The recording probably has been completed for a little while now. Its not like they update the site ASAP.

Should get the thing soon we all hope.

GNR are a family,they have two drummers Brain and Frank,tree geetar players,two keeboard etc..


Back on topic

I think they are mixing this album since last year,the Rolling Stone Article said ''we are degusting the mixing'' or somenthing like that,we kwen that Wend Wallace was doing the mix since last year.
This is not a normal album,is not a normal band this is not macdonalds...so the mix work will take the time it takes and some time from them we will have the album.

Is close tham ever,i hope.

[Meanmachine22]

now that is something i would call positive news :

The motherfucker is done
Mixing would not take to much time i assume 

CD in april ? possible? Hell yeah i say!!!

[ben9785]

thats good news, just what we wanted. it seems like we are getting close, even if the tentative date isnt met

thanks for the heads up

[whiny]

anyone know how long mixing and mastering an album takes, normally?

[jazjme]

really they are the last things, to worry about, like a friend MJ pointed out to me, last thing that was mixed into UYI was the crowd chant for Get in the ring, 2 months before it actually was released.

[Jimmy?]

This is good news. We knew it was delayed anyway  How about we all be relieved that we might actually get CD this year!!!!! Recording's done! No more making songs, changing songs, lyrics.....whatever has been going on over the years. It's done people. Raise your glasses   

[BBF Rocks]

fantastic news!
thank you axl, thank you GN'R!
the wait draws closer to an end!

[KaptainKuntra]

Mixing can take quite a while depending on how complex the tracks are (and I would think they are all pretty complex), then its still got to be mastered. Then 8 weeks from then I guess for the promotion to kick in etc. I'd be very suprised if it comes out before the tour starts.

Still its a postive sign things are moving on.

[Jimmy?]

What a cool pic

[destroier]

This is fantastic, there are no more finishing touches to be done. Mixing is a quick process, there's no way it will take more than three months. I think we're looking at a May/June release.

[TWT]

Drummer Frank Ferrer and guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal integrated themselves into the recordings seamlessly and will have their presence felt.

Now all we need to do is pray nobody else leaves and needs their parts re-recording 

[Lucky]

you people who are saying 8 weeks are crazy... blind and naive...

There's mixing and mastering to be done.
I dont think that they'd rush it at the last few steps. Taking into account, that they have a tour, they'll probably try to finish mixing by end of march, and choose the best mixes. while they are on tour, the "8 week process" will begin.
that leaves us with 8 weeks of touring, and assuming that the tour starts mid april, the album would be out no sooner than early/mid june.

which is perfectly fine by me...
also the mixing has been ongoing for a while now, since bumblefoot mentioned the "mixing crew" in his last adress.


if I were to be optimist, i'd say that the "finishing' touches were done on only a few tracks, while the others might have already been mixed for the end of last year scheudled release, and have been waiting since.
still no album before may.

[DarkFairy]

During the last 14 years I've become quite the pessimist, so I'm still not holding my breath. Back in '97 I thought it was 95% done so...
But still, I hope there won't be any more surprises, like parts getting changed or whatever the fuck, and we get it this year... I just don't want to get overly excited (yet again) only to be disappointed.

But at least there's movement
