what rumors? there's ads on the telly already, ah i'm just sick of it all now so i am, give me chin dem already

Giblet

Theres more...

Apparently Gilby Clarke is remixing some old Hollywood Rose recordings, like Shadow of your Love and Wreckless Life.

To be released in a few months.

- well at least the website is ready! The album is apparently finished and was delayed due to legal action trying to stop the Greatest Hits crap bring released. They are playing Lisbon in the summer, I wouldn't be too surprised to hear a few more European dates announced over the next few months, and if that happens you can take it the album is being released. It'd surely never happen but Slane would be pure legend

colincarnate

that's not an official site dude sorry.
Dizzy just said that Buckethead is unofficially out of the band and Axl is getting guitar lessons off some guy in new york. i think chin dem won't be out this year...

also the official site is gnronline.com, which had 'Stay tuned for news on Chinese Democracy coming soon XX/XX/2002' - soon it said haha right, but now that's even gone! check it out, definatley won't be out this year

Giblet

Yeah it was announced on radio that Buckethead is out, but it's not 100% yet.....




....good riddance!

krattapopov

the greatest hits album is purely a money spinner by geffen, all orginal members went to court to stop its release... dont buy it, we have all the songs already!

NeMiSiS

Its being released by Universal, not Geffen. Unless Geffen s a subsidary of Universal..but I dont think so..cause I think they are a subsidary of Interscope..unless Interscope are a subsidary of Universal.. ****ing record companies..

Tom

Universal own them all man, geffen who've just come back or something, interscope might be going, and there's something to do with Sanctuary in there too from what i've been reading about gn'r in the last while.
also Buckethead officially out according to mtv.com - Axl new lead guitarist i hope! ...
"I'M ON THE NIGHT-T... hang on i can get this... AND I'M READY TO CRASH AND BUUUU... damnit!" although there's two other guitarists :dunno:

NeMiSiS

Axl needs the money to pay for all his plastic surgery..

Tom

exiot

Ive heard the track Chinese Demorcacy, and it took me a while to grow on me. Where with the ole GNR, it was bang on and I went with the flow, but I dont think the new tracks will have the same spark.

Man if GNR were playing at Slane...that would be amazing!

Giblet

The track Chinese Democracy is dire!
It reminds me of "The Vines" with Axl singing or something.

NeMiSiS

They aint 'Guns N' roses' anymore, thats why its dire.
I would'nt go see em, Id go see Velvet Revolver though.. Axl has had more than 20 musicans working on this chinese democracy yoke, including some guy that used to play guitar for N'Sync ! How Rock N' Roll is that !? Without Slash and Duff, who gives a **** what Axl gets up to.

He should rename the band, and stop riding the name Guns N' Roses, its deludes people into thinking they are good.. It may be.. 'good' but it aint GNR.

Tom

colincarnate

I don't know about N'Sync but current guitarist Richard Fortus was Enrique Englesias'(i'm glad i can't spell it) session guitarist! one thing though if you're a N'sync/EE guitarist, you know you're good - although gaaay.
Oh My God and The Blues are among my top ten fav' guns songs(not 9 and 10, although i don't really have a list), both from the 'new' gn'r, although it was all axl n' izzy anyway.
When John Freese left for Perfect Circle Axl re-recorded the entire drums for the album then, i bet he's going to do the same with Buckethead's guitar, who would want guitar all over your album who's not in the band and seemed to leave the band accromoniously(not glad i can't spell that!) - the album will never be out! i just think it's funny - Axl da man!

My Name IsJonas

The GN'R Greatest Hits when into the Irish charts at no 1. maybe this will show MCD, etc there's a demand for them and will book them next time Axl decides to go on a world tour.

I'd rather see Axl's band then Velvet Revolver. It doesn't matter to me if someone's doing a Slash impression but Scott Weiland trying to be Axl no thanks. The first time I heard "Set Me Free" I thought of "it's so easy".

colincarnate

didn't get the Greatest Hits(yet :ninja:) but i heard that "c*nt" is dubbed out in 'Ain't it Fun'? If so it's the worst thing ever!
VR will suck...

Gillie

Just got my hands on it.

Track list:

1. Wecome to the Jungle
2. Sweet Child O'Mine
3. Patience
4. Paradise City
5. Knockin' on Heavens Door
6. Civil War
7. You Could Be Mine
8. Don't Cry (Original)
9. November Rain
10. Live and Let Die
11. Yesterdays
12. Ain't it Fun
13. Since I don't Have you
14. Sympathy for the Devil

I think they should have had two cd box set with the second CD containing hits like Coma, 14 Years, Estranged, Night train, Get in the Ring etc.
Disappointing really!:(

colincarnate

so you want a studio Best Of?
sure every song is a sermon in itself so everything is a best of







:ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

Gillie

I don't see the problem with having the second cd? They have some great songs that were never released as singles.

Oeneus

Velvet Revolver will not suck. Believe me. Slash has always delivered above 80% perfection, and I can promise you this will be the best thing he has ever done.

Vlad Drac

I'm so glad Buckethead has left Guns & Roses. What a waste of his time, Axel doesn't no what he's doing ... cancelling shows and delaying this album for ages. At least now Buckethead may get on with his other projects and more instead of hanging around for Axel waiting to get his finger out. The rest of the band should leave to ... Buckethead can do so much better than the all new lame G&R.

Cianan2

Slash and Duff were on Trl today.

Well thanks for that vast well of information there. How very informative. I'm glad we have you around to keep us up to date on the music biz...



Eh... what were they doing? Were they playing a game of chess? In the audience? Was it an interview? If so did they have anything interesting to say?

As for Vlad Drac;

I hadn't even heard of bucket head before the crap new GNR, so I imagine he'll sink back into obscurity. He's obviously so crap he has to wear a ****ing bucket on his head as a stupid gimmick. I mean... WHY? I do however agree with you that the rest of the band should just split, and leave Axl alone to rot. He's just píssing off old and new fans alike now.

Roll on Velvet Revolver...

He's been wearing his Bucket long before the new G&R. You should check out some of his stuff, not saying that you'll like it as its nothing like old G&R. He's played in a number of Projects such as Praxis, Death Cube K and Cobra Strike. He's worked with Les Claypool and stuff too, and will be releasing an album with him soon. I'd recommend some of his stuff from the Praxis album "Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis)" or for some of his quite solo work check out the album "Colma". as far as I know he also did the Theme for Power Rangers too

Wow, did anyone else notice his pinky (c) finger? Eugenics at it's best...

colincarnate

he's an unbelieveable guitarist, but i'm not sure at his ability to write hits, i think that's what Dr. Loon was eluding to. Although his song on the Last Action Hero soundtrack ruled, that was a great soundtrack too

Oeneus

What the f*ck is wrong with his finger??!!!

The jock

as a shannon hoon fan(blind melon)i was wondering did shannon do a duet with axel,i was told that dont cry was the song,does anyone know if its true.

colincarnate

yeah it's don't cry
d'you see they cancelled rock in lisbon in may, axl's going to re-record buckethead's guitar i bet, like he did with Freese's drumming and it won't be out for another 2 years...

seanybiker

they'll never be the same, but you gotta love am. best band ever.

colincarnate

don't quite agree with that but wahey!
for me it's about axl n' izzy, izzy's gone but axl is there, so i'm fine insofar as my gn'r goodness is still running.

Vorrtexx

well it appears they've cancelled rio now too, due to bucket being out.
At least this time Axl released a statement on the whole situation for once.
