At this point it could be a close up of a plate of Beef Lo Mein like The Spaghetti Incident cover, and I wouldn't give a fuck.

#17253 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy release date? » 943 weeks ago
Sad to see Axlin08 completely lose it before CD finally comes out.
I think it's the economy. 
Well, like I mentioned earlier in the thread.....Billboard announced the UYI release date. GNR did not go on TV and announce it. Billboard announced it, and every magazine and newspaper spread it.
I'm glad to a certain extent that its playing out like this. It brings a heavy dose of reality to the situation. The coffin can permanently be nailed shut on the "it will be announced on live TV, larger than life billboard posters showing the release, commercials on every channel, street teams dancing in the streets on all continents, blah blah blah" theories that have flown through all these sites over the years.
Its just an album. Its no different than Kala, Death Magnetic, Doll Domination, The Slip,etc. The world isn't going to crack in half by its release, and I think its smart by management to lower expectations into the world of reality.
I can easily see this album released without one peep from Axl.
People are gonna have to adjust their expectations.
Alot of very good points.

I don't have a massive collection. Couple of Michael Myers action figures, one Jason Voorhees (based off of JGTH).
I've got a few masks. Four Michael Myers masks, custom non-major release stuff (high quality), one based of H1, H2, H6 & the original style for H2O. I've also got a few custom jobs non-major release (high quality) for Jason Voorhees. A mask based off of Part IV, Part VI, a Part VII set (includes a latex mask of Jason with a detachable hockey mask over it), and a Part VIII mask.
I've got a few T-shirts, one for Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween III, Friday The 13th (in general), Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, House...

No one has learnt a thing it seems,Except for there's actually.. reason to believe Chinese Democracy is coming out? Best Buy exclusive confirmed, 2 songs officially released, Billboard and BBC both reporting a Nov 23rd date, GN'R's manager playing finished tracks to random Best Buy employees after years of pretty much complete secrecy... even if it doesn't come out this year it's obvious that it's happening.
The reunion evidence? Uhh.. Slash has been nice to Axl in the press?
..... Hall of fame coming up?
One is a bunch of coincidences and hopes and the other is a bunch of facts and reasons. The only reason the second one isn't completely non-hope based is because people know things in GNR land can do a complete 180 and there's still no official announcement... but even then, this is the farthest we've been and things are actually happening/pointing to the album on the launch pad. The reunion rumors are pretty much the same as they've always been except now people are assuming because Axl isn't gonna tour Chinese Democracy that the new band is gone forever. Axl can just make a new band. Or wait until people come back (which they will if CD is even a semi hit, or they play their single at a MTV show, or anything pretty much)
To me it's obvious Axl and his crew hate Slash's guts and that's all you need to know to know that it's not gonna happen anytime soon.
Considering the fact Andy Gould's word is simply word of mouth from Best Buy's people, and nothing has been officially said or released from ANYONE in the GN'R camp.
I'd say 'official' or 'happening' could be just as easily tied into a reunion.
Both have no weight backed by GN'R right now, so to sit back and talk about CD, and ridicule those who talk about a reunion is hypocritical.
I think both Axl & his people and Slash and his people hate each other equally. Doesn't mean that should get in the way of business.
Is CD on the way? Yes.
Am I happy? I'm overjoyed. I love it.
Do I want more new GN'R albums? Absofuckinlutely.
Do I think the new band is dead? Yes.
And that's where the catch is. As a live act, I think these guys are toast. I'm just trying to express my opinion. This isn't about the fact of "aching for a reunion", this is my opinion, is that I think it has now become UNPROFITABLE for Guns N' Roses, in a new form, to go on tour.
Yeah there will be the occasional New Year's show, or headlining Rio or Ring or Download or Inland... but actual tours, I don't think so.

#17259 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy release date? » 943 weeks ago
Every CD thread turns into a reunion discussion, because people have reunion fever.
Plus I think the reason it's a major discussion right now, is all of the signs point to the new band being history. The album MIGHT be coming out, finally, but there doesn't seem to be this "accept new GN'R. The new band" attitude that there was in 2002. Axl's got two fake CD world tours under his belt, one a failed one (2002), and the NA tour in 2006 nearly fell apart due to half-full arenas and lack of interest.
People ask "why does every CD thread turn into a reunion discussion?", because for the FIRST TIME EVER, a reunion discussion actually plays into the current or non-current goings on in Guns. It plays into CD's release. All signs point to the new band being 'broken up' or 'let go' (depending on how you look at it), VR is not anchoring themselves down for any long term plans and VR has been at a stand-still since Weiland's firing/departure, Irving Azoff who's recent accomplishments have been a reunited Eagles and a reunited David Lee Roth/Eddie Van Halen - Van Halen, is now managing Guns
I'm not saying a reunion is happening in the immediate future. What i'm saying is, the new band WILL NOT tour to support this album. Nothing is leaning to that. Not in 2008. Not in 2009, and even if it were in the 2009, at this point it'd be summer at the earliest, and you don't wait A HALF YEAR, to go out and support an album that's been out since November 2008. The ship will have sailed.
Azoff is not going to sit back and manage a "50% profitable Guns N' Roses". He won't do it. I'm telling you. He will tell Axl to get on board or fuck off.
GN'R have two tours (in six years time), one a failed one, and the NA tour in 2006 was dicey. How many more times do you guys think new-GN'R are going to score promoters for half-full arenas? Be able to afford to book 20,000 seat arenas, that are not returning revenue because they are 1/3 to 1/2 full?
They won't.
New-GN'R will become a studio only act (not out of the realm of possibilities as long as they can prove they can at least go platinum, and I say plat because they still owe Geffen some serious ass money), but more likely with ALL the money that would be on the table, they'd talk turkey on a reunion.
Is it baseless pipe dreams? With a new band that only exists on a rotating roster of hired employees... if that's the negative way you want to look at a potential reunion (of an actual BAND) faldor, go ahead. "Seems to me you're wasting your own goddamn time though..." - W. Axl Rose.
The label, as well as Azoff are going to want to MAXIMIZE profits for CD. Only way to do that is a reunion. They know it. Axl knows it. We know it. My dog knows it. Irving Azoff has a HISTORY (look it up) of NOT working with artists who minimalize or half-ass their status when money is involved. He's fired high-profile artists before for those reasons. He's pushing for a reunion, RIGHT NOW, if it isn't already in the prep stages.
If you truely think we are no where close to a reunion. If you truely believe that, all i'm telling you is after CD is released, brace yourself for this headline - "Music heavyweight, Irving Azoff, fires Guns N' Roses"
#17260 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy release date? » 943 weeks ago
If the price is right, they'll all reunite. Talks were under way in 2006, and the money was left on the table. Why? Because he thought he still had the 'new-GNR' card. They still thought they had the 'VR' card. They had other outlets to play, be successful, make money, and do it all without GN'R or without GNR's former members.
That ain't the situation no more. Libertad by all means was a flop, VR is still without a lead singer, nobody seems to care to find them one (because the band WITH Weiland was pretty much over), and other than solo work (ooh, hush my mouth) they don't have ANYTHING on tap. Axl has lost ALL credibility with new GN'R and his new vision. People just don't care anymore. They've been used, they've been lied to, they've been manipulated. Shackler's Revenge & If The World were DOA to the general public. There was no media blitz. There was no hype. There was no GN'R ruling the world again attitude. It was blink and you'll miss it. No one cares at this point, and ONLY because of Irving Azoff and maybe the love Ridley Scott has for GN'R, is the ONLY reason that GN'R were able to even get a song on a high-profile film release.
At this point, all they have is the money. Slash & Duff would never demand an equal share in the band. The reason? They know there's no fuckin' way in hell they'll ever get it. Just like Slash having an issue with Axl's lateness. He'll deal with it. He dealt with Weiland, he'll deal with Axl. Don't even worry about it. I suggest he get a PSP, it'll make the wait alot smoother.
