motownjunkie Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 regarding the album, fair enough they couldnt get it out this year, but why not a single?? ......i dont blame Merck for it because if GNR had of played it smart, then a single could have easily been decided and released this year.a single while touring was the way to properly promote a march 07 release of the album, in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 They have to renegotiate their deal with the record company, and the record company won't negotiate until they have the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 and the record company won't negotiate until they have the album.And who could blame them. They've already put 13 million into this project - I doubt they want to give 'em anymore for marketing until they're absolutely sure it's going to be released.Axl had a year to hand the album over to them. Why didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't he?because dude, axl knows that if he released chinese democracy the people who like REALLY like will want to hear pure CD songs, and not that many appetite songs, which would result in a setlist dominated by 80% CD songs, which would be played at every single fuckin gig, turning off the true hardcore gn'r fan who just goes there to hear the old stuff.pretty smart of axl to be spewing bullshit every time he is asked about the release date for CD, then lie and blame someone else, knowing that he will get away with it because his braindead ass kissing fans will believe every lie that comes out of his mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axingn'r Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I agree with Dead Flower. Axl's been talking about releasing the album for months but at the end, nothing !He's been teasing the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asshole.I believe that number was reported as fact in the NY Times article. The numbers themselves came from Geffen's own accounting records. There is no point in being a jerk about it simply because the dude points out what is believed to be the truth. Plus, the dollar figure makes sense. This album has been in the works for around 12 years. A million a year is not unheard of. Korn spent 5 million on an album a couple years back (Untouchables) and a lot of that cost was the mansion that they rented and the new recording technology that they used. Making records costs money so don't get so upset about people using that 13 million figure. IT IS TRUE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_morris Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Easy answer: They would need a video and they dont have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukinx Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Easy answer: They would need a video and they dont have one.Yeah, and maybe they'd want to incorporate the video as a CD-ROM track on the single too *dreams* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornfields Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Because Axl doesn't feel like it.He doesn't give a rat's ass on what the fans want,at least that's what a diehard fan has told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicious Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 because we'd still have to wait a long time for the album anyway. we have no guarentee its out in march. plus we all have "better" downloaded anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornfields Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Is it that hard to just release a single to keep the fans happy?How hard is it to go into the studio,record a finished song,and release it?It could be done in a day with no problems.
