GNR Push back Album to Next Year

Twist of lEMOn

Guns N Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is now odds on to his records shops in 2007 after the band's label admitted this week they were none the wiser to a November release schedule, reports Soundgenerator.

Axl Rose had recently revealed his intention to get the $15m, ten-year-old project onto the shelves before the end of the year, and a press release for the Chinese Democracy Tour at the beginning of October 2006 also stated that "there are only 13 Tuesdays left between now and the end of the year" - dropping a hint that the album would be released on a Tuesday between October 3rd and December 19th.


However, it looks near impossible that the album will be released in time for Christmas as the band's label, Universal Records, claimed this week that they had yet to received any information regarding a release date. With a likely four to six week turnaround required from GNR's management delivering the masterwork (not to mentioned publicity and promotion) it looks extremely unlikely the set will drop now until February, with January a traditional dead-zone for big new albums.

In other news, a new live DVD is in the pipeline for February. "Guns 'N' Roses - Live In Chicago" will be released on February 5th 2007 (we're sure of that), and was recorded at Chicago's Allstate Arena.

which ones didnt you like?
Better, IRS, OMG, CITR, TWAT etc

Necro

IRS was one of them, they had this fake release of all the singles/songs from the past 4 or 5 years. I really wasnt impressed with any of it. I also find it dumb that Axl is keeping the name even though its a totally different group now...

i think i seen that thing your talking about. that the one with madagascar from rio 3 on it? and silkworm and omg? the 2006 irs demo is much better than the 1999 one which i think was on that. give the 06 demo a listen.
when people left they were replaced straight away, if people say he shouldent keep the name now then it should have been changed in 1986 when tracii, rob and ole left.

Necro

I see your point with the name, but I still dont know.
