GN'R Confirm Album Release Date?

The new Guns N' Roses album will be released next month, it has been claimed, according to Y! Music.

Chinese Democracy has been mooted for around a decade by Axl Rose, the only surviving member of the band since their days of rock 'n' roll world domination.

However with the group recently completing a relatively successful and trouble-free European tour and scheduling more dates in the U.S., new recordings also seem imminent.

According to claims in Rolling Stone last week, Chinese Democracy has officially been scheduled for an American release date of November 21.

Earlier in the week, a cryptic statement from the group backed up such speculation, insisting "there are 13 Tuesdays left between now and the end of the year."

There has so far been no official confirmation on these reports.

Comments

[Havenspear]

Good god. About freaking time.

[Room On Fire]

There has so far been no official confirmation on these reports.

so then why even make an article about speculation? it seems almost everyday theres a new article about guns n roses and it all repeats hte same crap over and over.

[=ToM=]

finally

[tpot06]

I wouldnt be suprised if this is bullshit.

[unclemoe]

Ive heard it from rollingstone too.

[FrenchyFungus]

I'm not going to get overly excited, but this does feel more likely than it has done in the past.

[wigers will die]

hes gonna put this off for another year yet

[##_Guitar-newb]

he should fix his hair before im gona buy anything from him.

[Abe]

The question mark in the title is so fitting.

[ss311]

Axl is useless at being punctual.

[chrisp182]

who gives a crap, brand new's new album is out on november the 21st. its not even guns 'n' roses, it really should be called Axl Rose

[frigginjerk]

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/gnr_release_date_update.html

they said the same thing last year about a november release date...

[The_bushidoka]

What the hell kind of Zen riddle did he give as an answer to their speculation? "There are thirteen tuesdays between nw and the end of the year" What? I'm glad his calendar isn't wrong. Now, answer the question...

[x_rox]

"the only surviving member of the band since their days of rock 'n' roll world domination."

Make the others sound dead...
I don't know, we can wonder what the idiot really has been doing but im not getting my hopes up.

[s/ash]

"this just in, date of new gnr album is moved back 10 more years...

[coquet]

bullshit. its not going to happen. i dont think this album is ever going to come out.

[The Powerslave]

I think this time could be real. This new tour coming up is the first tour called the Chinese Democracy tour after all, so its very likely something from the album will be happening for him to call it that. And I have high hopes, as what I've heard of the album is very good, and certainly beats anything VR have released.

[burning_feather]

Iv'e heard it, its shit, nine inch nails style of sound on some songs.

[schmurnan]

With all these speculative reports and "maybe" release dates, the album will be a disappointment no matter how good it might be. Axl's delayed it for so long that everybody expects Chinese Democracy to be the greatest album of all time, and unfortunately it won't be.

[nakki]

Oh yeah please release the album!

[GNR's Fan]

I've heard of the album is very good, and certainly beats anything VR have released.

Dude I'll be very surprised if that's true, Axl is a better songwriter and was, i'm not sure if he still is a better singer than scot weiland. But he has Robin Finck on the guitar , were as Vr has Slash. And we all know who's better. Plus VR have the other old GN'R members.

Mhm. I agree. He's kind of shot himself in the foot with this one. People are going to laugh at him and rip it out of him when they hear what he's been up to for the last 10 years - as you say - no matter how good it is.

[GNR's Fan]

I've heard of the album is very good, and certainly beats anything VR have released.

Dude I'll be very surprised if that's true

But ^ then we may have to wait another 15 years to find out.

[PAsistem]

i pretty sure axl rose is the stupidest man alive

[primusfan]

checked.

[Spydr]

Don't believe it.

Me either. But 13 million bucks to make this record...it better kick some god damn mother****ing ass! or i'm gonna be pissed. Wonder what the CD prices are gonna be (lmao).

[thenephilim]

maybe it's me, but didn't they say the EXACT SAME THING last year...?

[TK1]

i was begining to think they'd never release it.

[flohbeutelchen]

so... the last "official release date" was march if I remember correctly. and like billions of people have already pointed out - axl rose alone IS NOT guns'n roses. VR would have had more reason to call themselves gn'r!!!

[Wiped_out]

Lies, all lies

[fukkindoyle]

axl is all washed up. just let guns die in peace you fat old man.

[D_y_p26]

lmao.....its probably gonna release after another 10 years

[invincibleneo]

I completely and strongly agree with flohbeutelchen

[stboney]

"successful and trouble-free European tour" what the ****, he got arrested and cancelled show cause he wanted a ****ing lamb ****in dinner!!

[acshadow25]

Yeah right it's coming out. I just don't believe all this crap anymore. Will i buy it? err no coz it's gonna be crap

[Prince_Malikai]

axl rose alone IS NOT guns'n roses. VR would have had more reason to call themselves gn'r!!!

true But In The Band Name The Roses Came From Axl's Last Name Or So he Says And I'm Not Even Excited About The Album Cuz If It Doesn't Come Out This Year Then Fuck It I'm Not Gonna Bother Buying It When It Does Come Out In 20 More Years. And About Axl Claiming The Name Was Of His Creation And Last Name I Wouldn't Be Suprised If He Only Said That To Get The Rights Over The Name And F*** All The Others Over That Mindless Non Educated A**hole.

[thecongregation]

rose just wants attenion; keep getting your hopes up and then forgetting about it. i too agree with flohbeutelchen.

[nirvana_62]

It won't be as good as the original GN'R but I like Axl

[OzZY-RuLE5!!!!!]

will belive it when i see a comerical afertsiting. if so yeah

[thrashster]

they could have made a similar article any day over the past 10 years, without the confirmation, this means nothing

[fluffylump2]

does anybody know why it's called Chinese Democracy? i mean, really. what kind of a title is that?

[iamcool123123]

slash is dead?

[true_bacon22]

slash is dead what?.anyway if they push this back one more time there will be no Chinese democracy

[metallicaPOOS]

fluffylump2 wrote:

lol, use your illusion and the spagetti incident make sence then, lmao...


i have a feeling that we will see the album ou this year... if not, why the hell is gn'r wasting 13 million and more on the album and touring??? he plays at least 3 new songs at every concert( better, irs, there was a time) so, theres an even better chance these days :M:

[Nirvana fan]

im not gettin exited. I'll be dead before it ever comes out, anyway velvet revolver has more original guns and roses members than guns n roses itself so we still dont know just how good its going to be

[Covin]

I'm surprised it hasn't leaked by now.

[whatamidoinhere]

oooooh, the 21st is a tuesday...but that doesn't really count for anything
If they actually gave a definate answer I still wouldn't trust it

[goon316]

This is going to be the most dissapointing release ever. They are trying sooo hard to make it something special. Just release it already.

[MeGaDeth2314]

hasn't this happened like 20 times?

[MrGuitar123]

i bet he releases the album when China acctully turns into a Democracy which is pretty much never

[Quikslayer666]

will axl even make any money off this cd, even if it does sell very well he'll still be in debt for at least another 10 years or they will have to sell this album at a very high price and like alot of people said its probably not going to be very good. the next question is when will the next gn'r cd come out, my guess will be in 2021 the date that amazon gave for chinese democracy.

[Life Wasted]

Yeah right, I hope so but maybe next year

[spunkeymonkey36]

Thats quite funny and made me laugh. Yes axl I agree give it a rest, your nothing without the old crew.

[kjb]

HAHAHA!!!!! And pigs will shite my name in the clouds...but if it does cum out yay

[victimized124]

ok let's see, 13 tuesdays left in the year, so that means it'll be released about 5(or in Axl Rose Time, 5 years)



nah... i actually think it'll come soon.

[Strat_Monkey]

If it had been confirmed then you wouldn't need a question mark really...

[sk8terdude9390]

why do i feel that this is gonna suck ass...

GnR ain't GnR without Slash and a pre-botox axl.

[jof1029]

i guess it's some kind of oxymoron type thing y'know?

this album isn't gonna live up to 10 years worth of making

[BleedBlack247]

this is about the 5th time ultimate-guitar has had an article saying the album will be out around a certain time so Im not getting my hopes up again

[shadowartist06]

its prob gonna end up like shit
so we all can laugh
and a whole bunch of EMO GIRLS
are gonna be like I LOVE GNR
becuz its prob not gonna live up to our expectaions

and im not surprised if someone else gets a GnR tattoo


and from my point of veiw is axl trying to be black
also this was released by yahoo

not some lil rumor on the net

so we all have that to think

[maggotcorpse079]

.....this cd is never coming out and if it does....it'll probablly suck. LOL

[metallicaPOOS]

Covin wrote:

it has, i have around 15 songs, half are fake most likely

[vbackseatromeov]

Heard the songs they're great. You people expecting low of it can burn in hell. Because..it kicks ass, and you're making judgements on it based on how much you hate axl. That's really all it is. So I'm gonna buy it i dunno about you other guys, but this record is at least better than anything else out there right now.

[Axlthegreat]

I think it really will come out this November, it won't suck. the leaked demos and live songs are already better than contraband. It will however probably be a letdown because of the time and money spent on it

[Alex101]

Well, it's about time. But too bad Slash and the original line-up won't be in this album.

[rayIII]

yes, actually I DO remember something about November 21st ...

[catchtherainbow]

i bet most of u even waited 10 years for this...but yeah,this album may finally get released when Axl Rose dies...

such a stupid gimmick,it doesn't need to be a perfect record to be placed on the shelves.i think he doesn't even have the album ready yet,he's just playing these random new-school songs that he has written three weeks before the tour.

[Gunner96]

Some of you people...
'It's gunna suck cause there isn't Slash '.
Since when has Slash been the only decent guitarist in the planet?
Most of you are nerdy metal-heads anyway.
To stboney; a show was NOT cancelled because he had a roast-lamb dinner or some shit. He came on a bit late, but Richard Fortus says it's bullshit anyway.
You people don't know shit

[euan_soad]

I think it might happen-what with a tour and him not cancelling the shows or storming off. Well, as much.

[twistedmaggot]

my post disappeared :S

[Pr0az]

I remeber reading about this album 3-4 years ago the release date was December 4 lmao.

[coquet]

democracy is never going to come to china; hence, chinese democracy will not occur. the title alone gives it away--this album will never be released.

If you actually listened to it its nothing like NIN, you'd know the same if you had heard NIN aswell. The new album will be released and it will be awesome. And to all the haters- it will be released, just watch.

[Pan-Tallica]

Checked.

[shiznac]

rolling stone is a gossip magazine, and those are all liars trust me, all of the preps at my school read shit like this and find out dat dey were lied to and dey still read dem

yeah i remember about 2 or 3 years ago they had a tour with the same name back when Buckethead was in "GnR",i remember the commercial perfect it said the chinese democracy tour

[SGstriker]

I will believe this when I see it.

[havana_Affair19]

Gun n Roses is overrated. they are good but not anything great like zeppelin, strokes, or acdc.

[GN'R Dude]

fluffylump2 wrote:

Axl saw the movie 'Kundon'? I think thats what it's called anyway, and he wrote the song 'Chinese Democracy' about the opression in China.

I guess he just went with it for the album title too.

[Pr0az]

Well its comming i mean some of the songs have been leaked; just all according to when. Also, from the leak the track sounded pretty hot guys. But it will never truely be the GNR we use to listen too. I think whats talking so long they are having to do so much work to his Vocals lmao.

[SRV_PRS]

this album better sound better than if it had been recorded by god himself if it has taken 12 years to put this album out, and even if it is good it won't sell because axl rose has become a joke and so has the name of Guns n roses. I mean slash quit a long time ago and then buckethead left axl's megalomaniacal ass, at this point it will be a very refined album from a band with no talent to speak of

[redhotsexmagic]

SGstriker wrote:

my thoughts exactly

[.g,n,r.]

GUNS IN ROSAES SUCKS NOW NO BODY HERE SHOULD BE EXCITED

since when was motley crew so great

[guitarfreakktb]

anyone else laugh every time they see one of these?

[cambria&coheed]

Its not GNR unless you have Slash, Duff, Izzy, the drummer dude, and Axl(before he lost his voice).
10 years is a lot to put on a record but it might sound good...like Coheed and Cambria's Claudio Sanchez made an album about the concept of the story in 7 years and ive heard only 3 songs from it and they are kick ass but unfortunately i havent heard any from Axl so im really not into this "new album"

[redrum58]

just put out the ****ing album already. i wanna hear buckethead and brain tear shit up

[seanfromlj]

exactly. this album is gonna bomb.

[Past-time]

Nooo! The day after the Halifax concert! Oh well, save my money rather than buying it there.

[slashrocks5]

Gun n Roses is overrated. they are good but not anything great like zeppelin, strokes, or acdc.

strokes and acdc arent a fraction of how good gnr was with shalsh duff axl izzy and adler. no album in the world is better than appetite. i wouldnt get excited about this.

[slashrocks5]

are tickets sold out for halifax concert?

[lambchop]

gnr is done so stop trying
and for some reason greg t is a dirty mexican

yay

[bobbynogo]

only surviving member??? untrue!!!
maybe they meant only member left in gnr, but still...

[Nirvana_RATM2]

this is the 10th time we got a date , and thats just this year!

[vbackseatromeov]

If rolling stone says it, it's a pretty daring move for them if they were to be wrong. I'm not saying believe in them because they say it, but i think Rolling Stones is smarter than to be wrong on such a big issue as that. Plus with Axl's recent tour it seems pretty obvious. Now...if it really is Nov. 21st.... I would REALLY like to see a pre-album single. Because it's likely. Just wait for the single and then you'll know. God its so close..

[vbackseatromeov]

Rolling Stone*

[misirlou]

i don't believe it for a second. chinese democracy will likely never happen.

[timmEH]

hahah ya right thats not likely to happen

[HazeD]

hahaha, im going to laff so hard if this album turns out the be revolutionary or something and all the kids who are saying "**** axl" start sayin "axl is god". however i do think he is a prick.. and lets hope chinese democracy is better than contraband

[KillerZombie]

yeah, Nov 21....2132.

[maddd0g]

13 million to record this ****ing thing?

That money could be put to such better use.

[pearlJam_31490]

i guarentee u that this album will ****en suck balls. i would be willing to bet everything that i had on it even though he has been TRYING to make the damn record for like 13 years or some shit. Plus Axl isnt that talent of a musician anyway. i mean sure he can sing and has a good stage present when he feels like it but he cant write lyrics or compose music at so i have a feeling it will blow. exspecially since Axl doesnt have Slash and Duff to write the record for him

[shine_on]

go on axl, just put on a pair of pants that covers most of your hairy old pig legs and slowly roll over and die without trying to get our attention because unless you release something,nobody cares.while your at it can ya call your new album that your "going to release" hairy old pig legs please.

[paul87]

about time, but who cares, the album will suck anyways because everyone's gone from the original days.

[RHCP123]

probably 95% chance that its bullsh*t but theres still a small chance that it might be released within the next 456357 years

[supersonic23]

Wont believe it until i see it

[supaman_63]

axl should stop while he's ahead.. it all went downhill since appetite for destruction.....



nevertheless, i will still probably buy chinese democracy, just to check it out. my expectations aren't high though...

[HazeD]

the reason this album is definately going to suck is because theres no way it can make up for the decade it took to make it. and everyones expectations are too high... this is a definate flop.. even if the album is descent, this album will never be a success... the only reason it might be a success is because everyones gonna buy it cuz its a new album with the words "Guns N Roses" on it.

[HazeD]

[Deaniemcfeeni]

i think they should have named it something different because as people have said before, 10 years on an album better be good, but it won't be an album worth 10 years. give up axl, your prime is long gone, sorry dude.

[leaping badger]

checked

[cobain_is_king]

I'm not sure if I'll buy it, I mean I'm a huge Guns n' Roses fan, but tbh, this ain't GnR. I nearly shit myself the other day when I walked into HMV and saw an album of the Chinese Democracy demos, I mean come on - at least release the demos after the album to see what they're like, but Axl's just milking ths for money.
IMO, he's just waiting all this time just to make people talk about it, and build it up to be some sort of legendary masterpiece. Give it a rest Axl, your nothing without Slash, Duff, Izzy and Matt/Steve.

Slash was the one who made up the march date and people actually beleived it, like what would slash know. Axl hasn't spoken to him for over 10 years.

And the band is very much Guns n Roses

[guitartilldeath]

omg the album's coming out the same day as MY BIRTHDAY! should it be something i should be proud of though...hmm.....well i've been a fan of guns n roses for a long time and the album's already kinda leaked onto bitorrent too.

[Ttaylor]

maybe its not coming out but when it does we will
all buy it if not just for a laugh.

[arrayofemotions]

Like many people, i'll only believe it when i see.

Not that it matters much, Axl is going to make a fool of himself the moment this hits the stores anyway. After seeing them on the summer tour, there's only thing to say about the new mater... It's utterly horrible crap. Music reviewers are going to have a blast!

[MonsterOfRock]

So What? It comes out, we buy it, end of story. It'll come out whenever it needs to come out. Whether its good or bad, we judge it after its arrival. Its pretty obsolete to just make assumptions of it right now. So everyone should take it easier.

[MonsterOfRock]

By the way, Axl wrote November Rain back around 1982, 9 years later it came out. As a legend. So, Axl taking time isnt necessarily a bad thing.

Ps: People, Don't bash Axl. You either love him, or absolutely hate him, we get it! No point arguing about that.

[piratesatelite]

Wow, they have been working on this album since the year I was born, and now it's supposedly going to be released on my birthday....

[misirlou]

there is absolutely no way this album can even hope to live up to the hype it has created for itself. if chinese democracy ever does happen, it will be the "phantom menace" of the music world.

[Northcalpc]

If it does come out this year then i'll by it, if it doesn't screw it. I Hope it does though.

[blinnk16]

AWESOME! I'm going to see them on the 21st!

[rock.king567]

I think Axl looks like a stupid ugly horrid dum****
