i dunno about a presale... but some kind of organized online sale would be cool. the thing about a presale is that everyone would download it after the initial couple thousand got sold.

by pre-sale i mean .. buy on line now and get the album whenever its released. everyone will hv paid for the album already. it will be online anyway after its being sold.

You mean pay now and get it when it's out? I don't think anyone would do that.

I mean come on... you could have come up with that Idea in 2002 "pay now, you'll get it when it's out... it's Chinese Democracy you know lol...

this topic is almost two years old,. i'v changed my mind already. :/

:xmassrudolph:

im getting this feeling that 2005 isnt the year of guns n roses anymore.

maria is sick

this is the best "discussion & news" thread ever.

HA and what kind of source is that? A blog?

I can PROMISE you all, Chinese Democracy will be out in 2007!

this is way better than the previous one. i liked it. and the collor too. just put some options in the user profile menu to choose between this one or the black one.

thanks :xmasssanta:

Anyone here who speaks with a degree of certainty is full of it. You cannot guarantee anything unless you are directly involved with the band.

As for the album coming out sooner rather than later, I would like to believe in Axl this time. Mainly due to the fact that this band is done if he fails to deliver the album by the end of the year (maybe even by the summer). Having seent this band 10 times in the last four years, this band has given me a lot of good times. That said, I think that is enough until something new happens.

Assume the band goes back on tour without the album out yet again, are many of you going to go again? (assuming you went in 2006). I might go to my local concert, but in terms of traveling any great distances, it is out of the question. 2006 I traveled to New York, Paris, Ottawa and Quebec City, plus the local Toronto show. Unless they drastically change the setlist and release an album, I am content to just see one show.

In the end, why should anyone care about a band that continually over promises and under produces. That does not take anything away from what this band and Axl has done before, but going forward, my interest will eventually fade if something is not done soon. I think that Axl must have some understanding that this is where his stands with a lot of his fans. He cannot continually push this thing off if he expects all of us to follow. Patience can only last so long before it becomes futile.

Cheers,

Andrew

you have my vote!

its pretty funny when there are threads about whos actually in the band :xmassrudolph:

bahahaha.

If Brains really gone Axl needs to find a better replacement than Frank. Knowing Axl, he's probably downgrading the quality of the album even more by having Frank and Ron rerecording all Brain and Buckets work.

I completly disagree with you.

I saw Brain and then Frank live.. I tought that frank had a lot more energy and was having a lot more of fun to play than brain.. at least live.

I've seen both Brain and Frank live also, and the bottom line for me is that the band sounded better with Brain. Sames goes for Bucket vs Ron. Axl and Robin are better now than they were in 2002, but Ron and Frank have been a noticeable downgrade.

i have to agree with Montrealer on this one. Frank is way more energetic and fun live.

mtv italy bahahaha

May????

I'm glad to get a potential release date . . . . but not for five more months? Thats a bit dissapointing.

its not may 3rd, its march 5th;;;

how will we know when chinese democracy really leak???? all we have is fake leaks on the interweb. and all of them its like: (Chinese Democracy / REAL / NOT FAKE)!!!!

just making sure people are not actually taking this seriously, why?

because you would have heard news of a single/album by now, there would have been comfirmation by the label already of the album coming out, probably promotion etc.

but as he said he will keep people informed

Thank you for sharing your supernatural future-seeing powers with us.

bahahahah.. pwneddd!!!

damn, is this topic still on./?

i dont think its real....just because HMV told us so many dates allready

i beleave this is real and axl said the album will be out march 6

he said it might be out

and thats probably what there going on

exactly

From the new tracks There Was A Time is the best candidate to close the show.

When people get familiar with this track band could maybe extend the There Was A Time, Didn't want to know at all, didn't want to know at all, i don't want to know it now part and make people sing along... Then leave the stage for a minute and come back to finish the show with that bloody amazing soloing

it would be the gayest thing ever done.

if i had to bet my balls on it i would say its Axl.

it just has this vibe.

stairway to heaven maybe..

You do realize this song can be covered by no one. It against the laws of rock and roll.

Dave Grohl did an EXCELLENT job with it.

stand by me

CD as an opener would kick so much ass. its awesome the opening riff now..

and finck can play with it the way he plays with wttj... just teasing.

nightrain is a nice opener also..

Better = not an opener.

i always thought it was axl... i think it is a 'november rain' kinda song.
