Guns N' Roses finally finish "Chinese Democracy"
Guns N' Roses finish 'Chinese Democracy' album
Axl Rose has finally delivered the album to his record label Apr 10, 2008 Guns N Roses have reportedly finished work on 'Chinese Democracy', the album that Axl Rose has been working on for the past 14 years. Therockradio.com reports that Geffen Records, the band's record label, have confirmed they have received a finished copy of the album, and are currently haggling over money and rights issues with Rose. The album is reported to have cost in excess of $13million (£6.5million) to produce. As previously reported, it is rumoured that a Guns N' Roses reality TV show is set to be broadcast to coincide with the release of the album. http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses...terstitialskip -------------------- I searched, but all of the Chinese Democracy threads that showed up have been locked. Mods, if there's an existing one out there, merge away. |
I have a feeling the compensation issue will take as long as the recording did.

That's what I was thinking. It would make marketing sense to release it to coincide with the opening of the Olympics in China. |

Wow, 14 years... I'm sure it's musically relevant. zzzzzzzz.

I bet 3DRealms is feeling the pressure now.
If this *AND* Duke Forever get released, does this mean the world will end? The Mayan calender is wrong! |

What's the average production cost for an album from an A-List band/artist?

I don't believe it.
IF this is true, I think DVD Josh is right. |
Similar news reports popped up about two months ago, actually:
However more recently the development of financial setbacks have arisen over the prospective release and schedule over the album, with the band set to tour in late 2008 into 2009 following the suggested release of the album has meant that the financing of one Mr. Rose has had to come to an abrupt halt for the time being, as the continuing conflicts are preventing us from nearing 100% completion. The planned tour was scheduled to be beginning in late fall of 2008, continuing into mid spring of 2009, where the second of the albums by the band was to have been released. A third and final album was scheduled for release shortly after this. Long-time friend of Mr. Rose, Mr. Sebastian Bach has been given permission of the use of this information by Mr. Rose. Mr. Bach also has collaborated on many tracks on the albums as well as many other artists and musicians, and as such, problems have arisen with other artist labels to use these musicians on the material, along with issues of pay and content rights. The current problems that have arisen with the album are also that of visual proportion. The album does not as of yet have cover art and a theme to the cover, as, much to our dismay, Mr. Rose did not like the original concept cover from the album, as seen in a meeting with the band in late 2007. However with plans for the album to be released digitally at first, there are plans for us to come to compromise with Mr. Rose over this situation. With the proposed tour in question, and off the back of that said tour would come the release of the album, these plans, as stated before, are not set in stone, but we are nearing closer, as was said, the album is done, however the legalities and financial issues are the problems for this album at this time, as sale and printing of the albums, as well as copyright control and digital rights management, does not even cover 1/10th of the assets we have paid to Mr. Rose. Negotiations are ongoing with the band and Mr. Rose's manager, Ms "Beta" Lebeis and as progress is becoming more and more evident now than ever, we are hoping to make a major announcement through official sources of Mr. Rose as of summer 2008. |

http://www.gunsnroses.com/news/artic...news&fext=.jsp March 26, 2008 Press Release from Axl Regarding Dr Pepper We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr Pepper with our album "Chinese Democracy," as for us, this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others, we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead's performances are on our album, I'll share my Dr Pepper with him. Axl Rose |
Is Axl wearing ass-less chaps in that picture?
|
All chaps are ass-less... otherwise they'd be 'pants'

:lol: |
Lets see.. Axl is free. Velvet Revolver is without a lead singer. hmm..
Axl just might be in a bad financial situation if this album does poorly. Obviously, the real GNR needs to reunite and take their show on the road. Not very likely but I'd say more of a chance than a few years ago. If the Police can get back together, I think GNR could manage it. |
I'm not the world's biggest GnR fan, but if the original lineup reunited, I'd go to that show. However, I think there's a better chance of the original lineup of The Beatles getting back together.
|
If the original G n' R gets back together I'm sure Axl will insist on re-recording Chinese Democracy. And by the time it's done again they'll be broken up and he'll want to re-record it again.
|
If it is ever released there will be a curiosity factor to it, so first week sales will be good after that who knows. Actually if the new Motley Crue CD does well it will help this one if it is released within a few months. People will be thinking of the 80's and give these releases a chance again. I know I will if there are some decent songs on them.

Guns N' Robin
Robin's plans caught everyone in Guns, as well as our fans, a bit off-guard. Really, Del James' private e-mail that someone took upon themselves to post publicly is the best way for us to address things at this time: "Only Robin knows what Robin's doing." Neither we nor management, etc., know any more in this regard and we prefer not to speculate or offer opinions at this time. Robin's Robin. We're in negotiations for the release of "Chinese Democracy" and things are going well. When we begin to put tour plans together, we'll see where things are. Until then, Robin's touring with NIN and we're working with management on our game plans. Our thanks to those who continue to show their support. Guns N' Roses |

I'm 29 and GNR was the first real rock act that I got into as a kid so maybe my view on things is a little skewed. I know that they aren't looked on as a "All time great" rock band but are they really viewed on the same level as Montley Crew and Def Leopard? Those bands never really appealed to me and seemed too stuck in their time.

I am just happy I was able to see them live twice in the 90's.
