This post says it all right here. The fact that there is no album and GNR wind up getting into the media it a GOOD thing.
I honestly don't see it as being much of a deal at all. I mean, besides the Zep show, what's really going on in Classic Rock for them to talk about, ya know? Also, I wouldn't be over excited if I was GNR and the only media still talking about me was a magazine about Classic Rock. If you're trying to be relevant to kids, I don't think they're your target publication.
But this is not the only media this year, you had Talking Metal do a whole segment on Chi D, plus the BBF and Frank's Jam, plus the mega media that Axl got for Angel Down definitely didn't hurt them either. Bottom line is, when I see things like this, I think it's a positive for them even tho the album is not released. Whether or not it does them good or not, the point is, there is some sort of media form that always is mentioning or having articles on Chi D or Axl throughout every year. Chi D was even mentioned in that show Californication on Showtime. It keeps it alive, even tho we don't have it.

Wasn't that article/editor guy Neemo was replying too, when they asked the article to be took down...?
Either way I think this is cool... And people should be happy

I disagree. With high quality "home studios" available in every price range, there's be no shortage high quality stuff available.
I agree with Russ, more musicians can and will go the home studio route and it sounds just as professional as if it was mixed and mastered in a "professional" studio so not only will the record co's take a hit, the studios out there could as well.

I see that as a problem... the longer the leaks are in the media, the longer Axl and co. can go with out releasing the album. As long as people are promoting the material, the longer they can tour on old classics and a few new "unofficially" released songs. They'll never release the album as long as these things happen.
I can definitely see your point, the band getting album of the year and it's not even out could definitely make them wait longer. Although, they didn't ask for it, it's more of a coo for them on unofficial demos. On the flip side, this definitely could be a forshadowing to the real thing and maybe not such a bad thing as far as releasing, IMO, this isn't gonna affect what's happening with CD at all.

It sure worked with me as far as wanting more with Axl on Angel Down. He sounded perfect 
I have posted since I listened to those songs that it's great and it's not great all in the same because it makes you want to hear more of Axl and new material on officially released tracks.
I think Axl has more money then people realize, his royalties are tremendous, think about how many times you hear old GNR and how much money he has made off the tour and merchandise. I wonder how much Axl got for WTTJ and SCOM being on Guitar Hero. I sure hope Axl and Univ. can come to an agreement if they are having differences because one thing is for sure, if that is the deal, they really are hurting the fans. Univ. isn't going to get their money back anytime soon if this continues, if that is the deal.
