Lookin' forward to it! :cool:

Karl Hungus · 26-09-2008 07:46PM

I'll be astounded if it happens.

ssteve · 26-09-2008 07:48PM

as the saying goes there will be democracy in china before this album is released

fifth · 26-09-2008 07:48PM

Cccccooommmmmme onnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

Just release it.

Pyr0 · 26-09-2008 08:02PM

I hope its sh!t, just to see the backlash after all the waiting, it'll be hilarious !:pac:

You know, I don't think it will be. The song Shackler's Revenge is actually a really decent track, if the rest of the album holds up, it'll be pretty damn good.

ShawnRaven · 26-09-2008 09:21PM

I've seen this too many times, i won't believe it until I see it.
(and then i probably still won't believe it!)

Yeah it'll be great if its good alright ! But something tells me everyone is gonna be disappointed big time !

I don't know, even if it is a let down (don't think it will be tbh) people will probably just be in denial and say it's great. You know, like they did with Metallica? Zing! :pac:

But seriously, a lot of good musicians have been involved with the project, there's definitely going to be some quality there. If it gets a release, that is, it should be decent.

MagicMarker · 26-09-2008 10:09PM

I also think it will be really good if it's released, but i don't think it will be a success commercially because i really don't think many people give a **** anymore.

ShawnRaven · 26-09-2008 10:20PM

I've been impressed with the live stuff and the stuff that's been leaked so far, so if and when it does be released, count me in.

Besides, it can't be any worse than The Spaghetti Incident?, let's be honest here.

You've got the initials of one of my fave bands

But yup, I'm gona buy it for sure! Should be great...

Hells yeah! But as i said, i'll believe it when i see it.
I just hope i get to see it before i go old and grey, the latter has already happened, with the former not looking any better the longer this is left.

that's just stupid, that blacklash will happen regardless, i'd rather be hoping for a good album.

i actually haven't heard anything new from them and i plan to keep it that way until (if) this comes out

Het-Field · 27-09-2008 12:04PM

It has since been taken down, but a few days ago I stumbled upon the G-N-R page on Wikipedia. It had a very credible artwork for the front cover of Chinese Democracy.

I think there is something in the making. After the release of Death Magnetic, I could care less about GNR releasing this record, however, it would be interesting to see it released

seanybiker · 27-09-2008 12:29PM

Cant wait for it. Anyone hear "catcher in the rye" tis on youtube, its forking excellent.

Karl Hungus · 27-09-2008 08:18PM

Quite possible. It's certainly a big enough release that it's simply going to divide opinion by sheer noteriety and drama alone. Maybe it'll be hard to please some people, no matter how good it is?

kwestfan08 · 27-09-2008 10:50PM

Can't wait until it comes out. Isn't one of GNR's new songs on the new guitar hero game, if so the album release would kinda tie in with that

VickBack · 27-09-2008 11:30PM

I shall believe that its coming out when I see it...

How long has the release of this album been going on!!

Gonna go on for another 15 years methinks!!

That's the case with everything, but the biggest problem GNR have is that this album has been so long in the making. What's a 10-years-in-production album supposed to sound like? Every song should be crafted and honed to perfection, with no filler and every riff sounding out and being magnificent.

...but it won't be that way. In all likelihood it'll be another GNR record, with some great tracks, and some that you'll never care about.

Christ how many times have i read this before, w'ont hold by breath, it'll be crap in anyways, i would be more reluctant to see a reunion first !!!! :rolleyes:

You do realise that you're saying that you'd prefer to see the new album released before a reunion, right?

Now either you're in a very small minority, or you didn't have a clue what you just typed.

Either way, the chances of both happening anytime in the near future are somewhere between slim and none. :P

A Primal Nut · 29-09-2008 11:18AM

Judging by the songs we've heard so far, its already a decent album, albeit not amazing or anything considering the long wait.

Buckethead's There Was A Time solo which is likely to close the album is one of the best solos ever. Its a great song. As is Chinese Democracy, Better, Madagascar, Catcher in The Rye and the Untitled song, probably called Prostitute.

The Blues is ok but the rest of the album isn't great. Not a fan of Shackler's Revenge, I must admit.

Axl has done an incredible job of combining all the individual parts and instruments to make complete tunez. The lyrics are cheesy at times but there are some great melodies, most notably on the untitled song. The solos of BH and Finck, so often critisized for their renditions of the classics, are truly amazing on the new stuff.

dr.bollocko · 29-09-2008 02:25PM

Apparently best buy have negotiated an exclusive deal with the band for retail of the album in the US.
Still no release date totally confirmed AFAIK.

Well, I think the long wait would just add problems, you could end up being overcritical, and overpolishing your album.

Well it is technically socialist (Watered down communism ftw)

(Like Vietnam, which is democratic but there is only one party:D)

I genuinely dislike Axl's voice so it'll be muck regardless of the musicianship.

Stella89 · 09-10-2008 08:42PM

~scribble out Nov. 25th- The new buzz date is Nov. 23rd !!!! .*choo choo* Here comes the Nightrain :pac:;)

Cover art and tracklisting.

G-izzles · 17-10-2008 04:25PM

Lads, no matter how good/sh1t this album is, it's still gonna go top 10, maybe 5, very possibly number 1 because it's THAT G'n'R album we've been waiting years for, where in the meantime the integral members have left, formed their own supergroup, recorded two albums, lost their singer to a drug habit, that singer has gone on to start touring with his old group and is also releasing a solo album. And all THAT in the latter half of the wait for THAT album.

It's just gonna sell, no matter who likes it or not, and it'll be in our faces no matter how much we like it!

Motley Crue · 17-10-2008 04:53PM

The cover art is on the Best Buy website alongside the tracklisting. But then again we are also supposed to be getting an update from Axl over the next couple of days. Dr Pepper has also agreeded to go ahead with its promise of releasing free Dr Pepper to everyone in America. Which is nice of them. So we just wait for the update and then everything will be cool.

spot on. just having the G N' R name on the front is enough to shift ****loads of it.

smackbunnybaby · 18-10-2008 09:10PM

We will definitely see ACDC levels of interest when this album comes out.
i never realized there were so many ACDC fans til this week.
GNR are going to bring out all the dormant fans for this album and all the new curious fans - it will sell loads and you will be able to get it for 13.90 in tesco.

if they do a world tour it will sell out everywhere.
GNR were one of the biggest bands on the planet and they still are.
i am actually looking forward to it...:D
