Simply put, no one on this board is an industry expert (myself included obviously) and no one on this board has heard ALL of the material recorded during the Chinese Democracy sessions. We are really pretty clueless as to how the public will react to one of the most unique projects in rock and roll history. I still PERSONALLY think all he needs is a kickass rockin' first single and a nice ballad to follow, and they will do fine. At least good enough to put out a second record which is all I care about. If he completed four albums worth of material, I want to hear all of it at some point and don't care about how I get it!:mosh::mosh:

Step away from the computer...gather yourself....go drink a beer. You don't really know these people...the internet is a very surreal world....Gnr is just a rock group...not really anything important.:nervous:

sometimes I just kinda feel like Axl is singing this Beck song..sorry to be a sad tomato...:(

Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone.
They make it hard to leave you alone.
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new.

Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost cause.

Theres too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go.
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, but nobody cares.

Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost cause.
Im tired of fighting
Im tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

Theres a place where you are going
You aint never been before
Theres no one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
Is that what you thought love was for?

Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost cause
Im tired of fighting
Im tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause.

in reference to my earlier post about missing an opportunity this holiday season...there isn't really that many big rock releases-he had a chance.

"Merchants cited the lack of hit releases as the main reason for the decline. "If the labels had put out a new hit CD for the week, sales might not be down so much," Newbury Comics head of purchasing Carl Mello said. "You have to put something out to get people to buy music."

Mello wasn't the only merchant feeling frustrated by the release schedule.

"I can't remember a Thanksgiving that didn't have any superstar releases on the Tuesday before," Value Music president Rob Perkins said.":flame::flame::flame:

She said the album is done....Slash said the album is done....I guess he made it up too....both could be full of shit obviously. Personally, I think the record or records are done and some type of financial issue is holding up the release, but that's just my opinion. I just don't blindly dismiss everything because someone didn't attend Catholic school and learn proper grammar in 7 th grade. 90% of the gnr community can barely spell.
