I will say that while Axl didn't stop to sign or shake hands the night of the 15th, he did give the crowd a peace sign as he got in the SUV waiting for him. The rest of the band ignored the small crowd (there were maybe 15 of us total) waiting.

I asked Sebastian Bach for an autograph, and he walked right by me - he's a fucker and a half.

Well I got to meet Bumblefoot after the May 15th Hammerstein gig - the rest of the band just came out, got in their rides and left.

They didn't hang around after MSG at all.

Well still. I don't want to hear people bragging about how they met Axl if they're not gonna help the rest of us get to meet him.

Everyone is telling their stories but not saying how they got back there...which is what we want to know..

Yeah - can someone please share how they got their passes? I'd pretty much give anything to meet Axl.

DUde, Turbo is a stand-up guy, he sold me a ticket for the May 15th Hammerstein show!!

I can vouch for him on that!

Fuck - he arranged the MSG pre-party!

I believe the true definition of a moron is somebody such as yourself,with imaginary people running imaginary trips to record stores for them,to confirm something that was in your lame ass mind all along.The only thing I did was forget about the time there and for a brief moment,buy into your story,aka - bullshit.

Why is it so hard to believe that he has a friend who lives in Hollywood close to the Virgin Megastore in question? Sit tight, shut the fuck up, and wait like the rest of us.

Please be assured I have no reason to lie to any of you.

I'm just relaying what I was told. I had this guy tell me everything at least twice to make sure I wasn't hearing things. He didn't sound annoyed at all when I called. Seemed willing to help me out.

Damnit.Having to wait as long as we have is one thing,but with all of these rumors,fabrications,etc ... Well,it just makes things all the more frustrating.False hope is an evil thing,my friends.So please,unless you know it for a fact,ease up on the bs.

Why did the guy in the rock/pop section tell me no? What the fuck is going on? If you are motherfucking bullshitting us, I swear to god...

The guy I talked to was in the rock/pop/soul, etc. section as well.

Let's hope that S***** is telling the truth and not pulling my leg on purpose. We'll soon find out.

The thing that makes me think the guy I talked to was telling the truth was he didn't even seem like a fan. He said "the new GN'R cd, right? The Chinese one?" So he didn't seem to have any reason to lie. He did confirm that he talked to someone who called earlier (I'm assuming Chris) and he said that he told him the same thing as he's telling me.

dude, pinky mother fucking swear?

Swear on my life. That's what I was told. I got the guy's name. I just don't want to post it here in public and have everyone bother him. He quoted me "27" as being the number of copies being shown in stock on his screen.

He said that it would be a HUGE mistake if it showed in their computer and wasn't really in stock.

Swear on my life..I just called. The guy said its in their system as being on hand, and they have 27 copies. He said he's not sure where it is in the back, but he said it would be a HUGE mistake if it showed as being on hand in their computer and it wasn't really there.

Guy I'm on with now says it IS being released. I sent him to the back to see if he can find it.

This can't be true..

Axl's always gone on late.

Stop crying about it.

You can go into work late one day, or just stay up all night. Its not going to kill you. Stop whining.

I'd be lying if I said that doesn't bother me a bit.

But on to the more important issues - let me guess, Japan is gonna get an extra bonus CD full of bonus tracks, right?

I've never seen the PC version of that ad during any football games yet. I don't watch NASCAR, but all I know is that's the only place that its been airing.

They said "early November" and it didn't happen, so what makes people think they'll EVER air the Better version?

And I still don't get it why people are assuming it's gonna air during NASCAR tonight. Where did that rumour come from anyway?

Considering that tonight is the final NASCAR race, I don't think they can do it next week..

I haven't even seen the Paradise City version on TV to be honest. But I don't watch NASCAR. As far as I know, that's the only time its been televised.

I was also thinking - since most people aren't going to know what the song is (although I'm sure they're going to recognize Axl's voice) how badass would it be if at the start of the commercial they add "Better"/Guns N' Roses from the forthcoming album "Chinese Democracy" - in stores xx/xx/06?" It won't happen, but it'd be nice!

Reality check!

A move like this would be way too smart for GNR!!

Nascar race - the rumor is that its gonna debut during the Thanksgiving NFL games. (This Thursday in the US.)

Is today the day that the ball starts rolling on promotion?

Let's hope that we get the "Better" version of the Harley commercial today!

I spoke to members of the band last night. The album is not coming out this year. Look for summer, 2007.

Universal confirmed this last night as well, but everyone, naturally, is keeping quiet to keep the talk coming.

I also posted this on jarmos and it got deleted it must be true

Or maybe because its total bullshit? Stop posting rumors and speculation, dave. Velvet Rope is full of "fake" insiders.

So was it bullshit too about the guy who talked to frank back stage and frank told him he was on 5 tracks?

Could be. Who knows anymore? But why in the bloody blue fucking hell would they delay this album to SUMMER of 2007? I could see January or February - but summer? Are you fucking insane? Use some common sense for once.
