stonebird Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Isn't the fact that he was putting the finishes touches to the album a good sign?I mean now that he has joined the band for the tour, the album is probably all complete, finishing touches could mean anything from tracklisting, artwork, mixing.My guess is the album is done now and will come out during the tour end November or beginning of December.

ohyesindeed Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Finishing touches? Wow, what a procrastinating bastard.Agreed.That is very very worrying. dont sweat it. when axl tells the promoter "hey, i'm puttin the finishing touches on my record" thats code for "i can't stop touching my girlfriend. i'll be 'round in a few days after a shower..."

The final touches were never being made in 95, 96, 97,98.... They've been working on this a long time and they are finally ready to release it, you only have to look at what's happened this year so far to realise that.

Revolver Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Finishing touches? Wow, what a procrastinating bastard.Agreed.That is very very worrying. oh no no no... this is not good, I was soooo sure it would be out this year, I even told my friends that if it wouldn't come this year I would stop loving Guns N' Roses and that is impossible! it has to be out this year or some of my respect of Axl would go in the sink, altough it wouldn't change very much, he'd still be like god to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably sorting out the artwork or something to do with the promotion. It was almost surely to do with the album but I highly doubt it was finishing off songs that will be on CD.LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edward Rose Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=82423The head Gunner just got hung up in the recording studio. 'He was putting the finishing touches on the new album,' Stoll said. 'But now Axl's in town (in Miami), and he has been rehearsing for two days.'The Ron Thal thing that I talked about is still just a hunch.

Guest Edward Rose Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 What did you say would happen/was going on? MontyWhen Axl cancelled those gigs at the end of September, I had a feeling he wanted to go back in the studio. So I said I had a "Hunch," (just a hunch) that BF was replacing BH's tracks.But really they could have done ANYTHING. Axl could have been doing some vocals.... though not likely after wailing on his voice for so many weeks. Or who knows, he could be adding audio samples from obscure movies... like he did with uyi.?

artfromtex Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 i doubt that any recording was done. time was probably spent on mixing, mastering, artwork, legalities such as royalty distribution, copyrights, etc. just a hunch. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I don't believe Bumblefoot will be on the album, but I think Axl just went over the mastering or whatever making sure each song was to his liking. I hope the rest of the band spent the break well though, learning new or old tunes that aren't played anymore, and hopefully they'll be added to the tour as it progresses.

-Sephiroth- Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'm pretty sure all kinds of recording is finished for the album. Maybe they still hasn't decidet the tracklist 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobadog Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 There is no way they would spend 10+ years working on an album only to hit the studio for afew days to replace all Bucketheads input. Bumble Foot could appear on one or two tracks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santana Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 i doubt that any recording was done. time was probably spent on mixing, mastering, artwork, legalities such as royalty distribution, copyrights, etc. just a hunch. ;DExactly. Artwork, liner notes, and packaging are all part of the album too. The guy never said anything about recording or being in the studio. He just said "finishing touches."

bax Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Ron himself has stated several times he will not be on the album. Even if a last minute change of plans occured and they decided to add his parts this is not good news-it is a virtual guarantee that CD won't be out this year.

JONEZY Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 We heard the same "finishing touches" excuse in 2002 when Axl had trouble getting to Canada for the 1st show. Call me a sap, but I still think the album will be out by the end of 2006! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is magic. He's the bethoven of guitar players. BH might be fast, but he's not a BF.http://www.myspace.com/.../....BumbleFootBut it's STILL just a hunch.
