The chances of CD being a double album??

[GNFNR_UK]

I almost started a thread like this about a week ago, but the subject has been brought up so many times I figured it would get dead horsed. Interesting how you snuck this past the mods.

Yeah I was thinkin the same thing when I started the thread but unfortunately we have nothing new to talk about, so until we do we must keep the speculation topics like this alive!! It was something I wanted to see other peoples views on. I see most people would indeed prefer a single CD.

Well, over the years some rehashed topics will not be moved to dead horse because people come and go and mods realize many people have not discussed it before.

Iv'e been here for going on three years, and I think I've seen it all. I can imagine how it seems sometimes for people who have been here for 5, 6, 7 years...

This is about one man and one man only. Axl fuckin' Rose.

I can understand how you could say that - I do believe that yeah, ultimately, like with the old band, since day one -  Axl will be held responsible for the outcome of the album/band's efforts,
BUT what have we heard from the band members - including Axl?  That its not going to be 'The Axl Rose Album' because this is not 'The Axl Rose Band'

he (Axl) insists, ''It's not an Axl Rose album, even if it's what I wanted it to be. Everybody is putting everything they've got into singing and building. Maybe I'm helping steer it to what it should be built like.''

Excuse my breaking into your conversation

To present the band matches up to his ideal... it might be one of the goals he set.

why would I mind? - seeing how you agree with me and all! 

Presenting the band - presenting Guns N' Roses, whose formation afterall is an accomplishment which must precede an album... or two... or three...

Keeping Guns N' Roses alive is what he has spent the better part of his life doing.  I don't believe it is the creation of an album he's been after - he coulda done that a few times over in the past decade if he'd sought to do an 'Axl Rose Album'.  But no.  It is the realization of Guns N' Roses that he wants. 
Real-ization.  Think about it.  To make it exist as a reality... not only as a memory.
