Guest Yanni_16 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 MODS, if this belongs in Dust n' Bones, feel free to move it there. I'm just curious, as I have not been a Gn'R fan for as long as a lot of you here, what year did the rumours start flying that Axl would be releasing this album? I've heard 2000 mostly, some say 1999. Also, how and when was the actual title "Chinese Democracy" revealed when Axl rarely gave any interviews?
ForeverGNR Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Rumors circulated in 1997 that Axl Rose had returned to the studio to begin work on a new album. The album's producer was supposedly Mike Clink. Nothing came out of the rumors in 1997, and GN'R remained in hiatus. In 1998, Axl formally returned to the studio accompanied by guitarist Robin Finck (formerly of Nine Inch Nails), rhythm guitarist Paul Tobias (aka Paul Huge), bassist Tommy Stinson (formerly of The Replacements), drummer Josh Freese (of The Vandals), keyboardist Dizzy Reed and effects man Chris Pitman.
