ckniker Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 According to a World Entertainment News Network story that was posted on a Clear Channel radio station in Battle Creek, MI the new GNR album is slated to drop next month. After going to a few different Clear Channel affiliates it appears that they use this London based news wire for content. If Clear Channel is contracting with this company for news it must have some level of credibility. This is just speculation on my part but perhaps the GNR camp and label have been so tight lipped about the album coming out to help prevent it from being pirated as long as possible. The longer they wait to service press, radio, and regional sales reps with advance copies of the album the less likely the album is to leak prior to the release date. This may be a possible reason as to why we haven't seen the long sought after press release.I also found the same story on Denver's KBPI (Clear Channel) at: http://kbpi.com/script/headline_newsmanage...Rock&feed_id=25 The story can be found here: http://www.keener1049.com/script/headline_...Rock&feed_id=25.Story is also on Clear Channel's concert website: http://cc.com/script/headline_newsmanager_...Rock&feed_id=25Story is also on a San Diego station: http://www.rock1053.com/script/headline_ne...Rock&feed_id=25Miami/Ft Lauderdal: http://www.big1059.com/script/headline_new...Rock&feed_id=25WENN's website is located at www.wenn.com.

Gallagher Rose Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) They need to release a video or single at least 1 month or more before the album release.It's almost essencial to promote the album.I heard the band was recording a video for IRS in NY last week,but sounds like bullshit.

ckniker Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hmmm never heard of Clear Channel...but it sounds credible from what you said.I can't tell if you're serious or just joking so I figured I'd reply. Clear Channel is one of the largest broadcasting companies in the world. They own thousands of radio stations as well as a concert production company and many venues. Clear Channel was the promoter that put on the GNR tour back in 2002. They pulled the plug on the tour after the Philly debacle that has been well documented.

prejudiced illusions Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 This sounds very promising. I think we can definately expect some kind of an official statement following an announcement like this from a huge company like CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santana Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 LOL. This is the best. If you read the article carefully, it never says WHICH month; it only says next month, but never references a month. What if the article wasn't supposed to be posted until May? Then that would mean the album is coming out in June, right? But wait... if that article was posted in February, that means that we're going to see Chinese D this month. Oh wait, we don't know whether or not it was written in February. Until we hear something official from GNR, let's all try to keep our panties dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went to the "news" sections but couldn't find the story. You'd think it would be there. Maybe this is something that they plan to run tomorrow for the first time?In any case, the article tells us nothing new.

Oh wait, we don't know whether or not it was written in February.Well it says that Axl was hinting at festival appearances this summer. In reality, he's done more than just hint, so I think this could have been written just after the Rolling Stone interview but before the festival dates were announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmrgnr Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Google the news headline "New Guns N' Roses' Album Out Next Month" and you'll get several news articles all worded basically the same as the Clear Channel ones and they are based on Slash's prediction back in early Feb. of the album coming out in March. So i'm guessing that these are all dated articles based from the same time period of early Febuary and therefore are probably inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Wait until the shows coming up. I think that is when we will hear about a release date,and it will be from Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droezle Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Axl said:"Soon." But he never told us how soon. I hope we don't get the same situation as in 2002. Play some shows,cancel some shows and than back in the silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHaze Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I am absolutely sick to the back teeth of people posting endless articles who's authors clearly know less about the current situation surrounding Chinese Democracy than we do. This is about the 50th fucking article mashed together from the RS interview and Slash interviews. Are you braindead or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
