A question with no answer

Axl never said those tracks won't be on the album though. He only said they won't be released as singles.

Sorry, I misread Nesquick's original response. I thought it said that Axl implied the tracks were B-sides. And I'm not knocking anyone for bringing up the 02 'plan' we heard of, I just think it's sad that it is the last time we heard anything of real note from Axl. Also, why is there the perception that the new tracks ( Mad., Blues, CD) werent well-recieved? I seem to remember most newspaper reviews I read pointing them out as the best part of the new line-up.

Goddmnit not THIS topic again

Axl played CD, Mddy and the blues because they were the best songs he had - you don't return after ten years and play b-sides, even Axl isn't that odd

People don't want to accept this because of what that would mean for the album - but think about it logically.

All this crap about beating bootleggers etc - for gods sake snap out of it! The reason we still don't have the album is because the songs he played were the best he had - the response wasn't great and so he went back to work.

While some of your faith is admirable occaisionally realtity must intervene

and before u lay into me - i love the new songs, if they are the best he has it will still be one of my fav albums

yuo're totally wrong with this one. Do you really think that the guy would play his all 3 big hits with out releasing the record first and them as singles. This record is too expected by the fans and media..it has been about 10 years..Sorry Izzy, but it just doesn't work out that way in real life that you come to play the gigs after 10 years and throw alreayd your 3 best hits away..Axl wouldn't accept that neither would the record company who would be the biggest looser in that game.

I've said this alot but do any of us even know if Axl is going to call the album Chinese Democracy,I mean maybe he changed his mind and wants to call it something else,just wondering,the new songs are cool tho.
