Re: RUMOR: Axl "will not be cooperating any further on the albums release"
Touring around an album that nobody bought isn't going to sell seats either. There's only one option for selling seats to a GnR show, and Axl made it clear that isn't happening.
This just reminded me of one other in my view fairly important thing I saw lately but have not yet reported. CD was, a couple of weeks back, part of the "two for £10" offer at HMV in the UK. The album itself was about £5 (circa $7.50 US?).
I knew then the project had failed. There is time though -and something *big* has to happen soon.
GN'R has done this before but in my view the present GN'R and the present (music) climate (complicated by such issues as downloading, low sales, etc.) make this scenario extremely unlikely and certainly a rarity in today's world.
As I said, the NIN direction is not the direction for the GN'R name. It needs to model itself on U2 - and if more albums are coming, it certainly is more logical.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall your alter ego starting more rumours than "LatigoHammers".

What rumour have I started here?
I am just reporting what some guy posted at CD.com. I have said I have no idea if it's real or fake (although naturally you always have to lean to fake in these cases).
I got stuff wrong in the past (nobody's perfect) but I moved in - even poking fum occasionally at myself for doing it.
Maybe in future I'll just keep such *findings* (it may of course be BS) to myself.
And LatigoHammers... was that darknemus? I don't think that situation was ever properly cleared up.

Coma, I applaud your optimism. If there is room for people who hurl hate every chance they get like a broken record, there is room for you.
I personally don't think another CD is close, but Axl is unpredictable, so I really wouldn't rule anything out.

No way any of that info can be confirmed 100% true until the passage of time, but I'm not buying the excuse for no video. M.I.A. uploads her own vids on youtube, and she's on the same label. The days of people thinking there should be an asterisk next to GNR just because its GNR need to come to an end.
Its amazing that every other artist/band is able to release videos, do promo,etc. except GNR, because there are these phantom Mt. Everest sized obstacles always in the way.
Not buying it. If he doesn't want to do promo or videos, just admit it and move on to whatever it is he does want to do, even if that's nothing.
Hopefully he at least decides to tour. I was actually getting a bit psyched at the possibility.
The excuses of GNR having these gigantic obstacles in their way don't add up with the rest of the world.
Bands bigger than them are able to do a massive amount of promo, release videos, tour and release two albums in the same year.
