You couldn't make this shit up could you

I've got nagging doubts, occording to people who've called DP this has leaked early and the main promotion was to come out in a few days, which of course could land us right around April 1st. So I'm not going to get my hopes up but there's a lot going for this.

I'm assuming since this news began to break GNR have made contact with DP just to check what the score was, and I'm guessing if it was a joke GNR wouldn't come out and have Axl comment etc if it's just a wind up. A few people have made the good point that given the 'challenge' DP has set GNR it would be a bit stupid to admit the two camps were in league with each other as it defeats the point of 'will CD come out?'. If this is a promo campaign for CD the it makes sense for GNR to act unknowing for now.

I just don't see GNR commenting and almost encouraging this if they weren't involved somehow.

If this is all DP's idea and GNR were unaware they need to jump on board now, this kind of exposure won't come round again, CNN, front pages of national papers. GNR need to grasp this opportunity with both hands. GNR and the label were supposedly arguing over a promo campaign, well here you are guys they don't get much bigger than this. Incidentally does anyone else find that a bit overly coincidental, GNR and the label are rumoured to be in disagreement on a marketing campaign, then a couple of months later GNR appear to be 'accidentally' in the middle of potentially the biggest album marketing campaign in years?

I won't get carried away just yet but this looks really promising.

I think we're more likely to get clarification from Dr Pepper than GNR to be honest

Interesting review, so the band were great and Scott wasn't.

Edit - There's an extra paragraph at the end of this review the original poster left out

I assume the writer means 06.

I'm not sure I agree here. Who knows who he actually is but he's clearly got regular access to what's going on internally at GNR or Jarmo wouldn't allow him to keep posting. We've all been around long enough now to know the only big updates are going to come from Axl himself and nobody else. Mysteron just offers a bit extra, kind of like the other band members and I guess it's up to each person whether they take it or leave it.

I don't even understand the vagueness comments this time

Isn't even vague, it's pretty direct actually, not good news admittedly but it's not vague. From his comments I think we can take it things are as they were a couple of months ago, Axls still in negotiations with the label. Mysterons lightswitch comment sounds about right, as soon as things are agreed it'll all start moving along because presumably the talks with the label are the last hurdle to jump before release (fingers crossed).

I understand the frustration with Mysteron's comments, at times he can be infuriating, but I just don't see it on this occasion.
