"Welcome, Guns N' Roses - 01.04.2004

Roadrunner Records are pleased to announce the signing of the almighty Guns N' Roses. World famous, and indeed a household name, Guns N' Roses have sold millions of records across their many year career and we are extremely proud to have them as part of the Roadrunner family!

The recent, widely reported, legal dispute with Universal has been resolved in an undisclosed out of court settlement.

The first release under the new deal will be the very long awaited 'Chinese Democracy' - currently pencilled in for a Christmas 2004 release, allowing the band time to replace ex-member Buckethead, and finalise work in the studio. Several cover art concepts are already being discussed, and a new photo shoot is planned for early Summer. Office staff here are already dribbling in anticipation of hearing the new tunes.

Official touring plans for the UK are not yet confirmed, but the headline slot of a much enlarged Roadrage 2005 tour is under discussion.

In other Guns news, guitarist Robin Finck has posted the following message on his official web site:

"Dear friends, I want to make this opportunity to comment on GNR's recent withdrawal from the Rock-In-Lisbon festival. I was disappointed, as were the lot of us, to come to grips that we won't be performing there as anticipated. My bags have been packed for some time awaiting such an event. I'm chomping at the bit to get out and really shake things up with GNR and look forward to the release of the new album and ultimately to tour and to tour. 'Til then - love, Robin"

Guns N' Roses, welcome aboard.

For now, stay tuned to their ARTIST page for more news!"

I thought this was real  

[ktucker450]

I think it is real, would they go through that much trouble just to poke at GN'R fans?  I mean they made a flash, typed up a Bio and all that shit, they actually linked them on the artist page, I honestly think its real.  When you put it on ur site it's official, if it weren't true couldnt they be in some legal trouble?

hmmm, maybe you're right... I hope you're right

Its looks real, but you can`t believe shit on April 1st - look at the article beneath Guns in the news section

Tuesday 13 - 01.04.2004

In true Murderdolls style, Wednesday 13 has chosen April 1 to announce a change in name. Henceforth, the Murderdolls vocalist will be referred to as Tuesday 13.

Now before you laugh, here is his reasoning...

"Do you know I am fucking bored of everyone calling me Wednesday. Honestly. And everyone thinks it's so fucking funny to call me Sunday 16, Monday 14, etc etc hardy fucking ha. So I figured why the fuck not go with it. It worked for Prince."

[the dirt]

I think I'm gonna stay away from the board for the rest of the April fool's period, jeez

[Evil Ash]

I remember last year, the whole roadrunner site was put in a microsoft.com style!

But I don't remember them putting up april fools day news stories...

[BottleOfPills]

The Lisbon press release was from Sanctuary Records.

I don't know what the relationship is between the two, but last I remember GNR was signed to Sanctuary.

FYI- there's no mention of GNR on Sancutary Records sight - but I didn't dig too deep.

(just threw that in there to keep the water stirring - its April Fools)

[pilferk]

It's an April Fools joke....

[S.P.I.K.E.]

its noway its a joke, why could a massive record company be arsed doing that? They are based in LA, AXL has friends there, AXL is suing geffen...it makes sense.

[starchild_666]

I think I'm gonna stay away from the board for the rest of the April fool's period, jeez

I'm gonna do the same  

[S.P.I.K.E.]

Sactuary is a management company...not a record company. Geffen/interscope/universal is the label...

[McGann]

Read the other news stories from today.  They're ALL April Fool's jokes.

[S.P.I.K.E.]

well if it is, it shows how if you are a record company, how not to behave, axl will probly sue them...y not...

[Death Cube K]

By just looking at their way of writing, I see its a joke.

[ToMMyBoY]

You notice its on the UK site and not the American site.

[pilferk]

One more time:

It's an April Fools joke.

Look at all 3 news stories listed under the "news" section.  Wednesday 13 chainging their name? No way.  Chimaira doing a cover of Justin Timberlake's "Cry me a River".  Not gonna happen.

It's a joke.

[The Michelin-Man]

roadrunner should be sued by mister axl rose!

April Ghouls!!! - 01.04.2004

Did we fool you today? How many of you believed our 3 spoofs?! Did you spot them?

Yes, true to the tradition of April Fools Day, we decided to have a little fun...

We do hereby announce that the following news stories posted today are somewhat fabricated:
'Chimaira River'
'Tuesday 13'
'Welcome Guns N' Roses'

Chimaira have NOT recorded a single with Justin Timberlake, Wednesday has NOT changed his name, and we have NOT signed Guns N' Roses.

HOWEVER! Both Joey & Dave do like Mr JT, and both quotes from them in the 'Chimaira River' story are absolutely true. Dave's uttered only this morning, caught online before bedtime. The rest, complete and utter tomfoolery (apart from Robin Finck's statement).

We are pleased to report we managed to fool an awful lot of you, including some media contacts, some other label staff, and even a large UK radio station...! We shall let the fooled remain nameless.

Happy April Ghouls!

I realized it was a joke when I saw that the logo they were using to represent them was the Greatest Hits album cover. Why the hell would Axl use that? He didn't design it, and is completely against the concept of it.

[SLCPUNK]

Another April Fools about GnR..never saw it coming....
