Well its now March 9th, which would leave 19 days. Not enough time to advertise.

Realistically speaking, early May would be appropriate. It gives them time to confirm the tour dates, pormote the album, and let people have a good listen to it before rock in rio.

I guess the earliest thing to come would be a single, with April being rumoured a few times now.

Why would you ask such a question when only Axl Fucking Rose knows?

Its funny how this date keeps getting dropped as a potential release date for CD.  This is the current date of the Axl v. Duff/Slash trial.  I can see how someone could mistaken that...but the ones who posted it as "release date from a reliable source" were seriously in need of a slap in the face.  They see a date that is pretty close and the name Axl next to it and automatically assume this must be the release date...nevermind the logic that less than a month leaves no time to promote...trust me...Geffen is gonna make sure people know this album is coming out...they've spent too much money NOT to.

How much time is needed to advertise and album?  Its not like movies where you see TV ads, internet ads, theater previews etc.  
Music albums for the most part seem to just release a single on the radio and then the album hits stores.  You dont need a month to promote it like you do with a movie.  
And once its on the radio its spreads wicked fast; one week of a GNR single on the radio would generate as much interest for CD as could be expected.  
I think a late March release is realistic, but I doubt its gonna happen.

Well, you really DO need at least a month to properly promote an album.  Singles are released sometimes 2 months before the album to build up anticipation for the album.  Videos are made, promotional appearances become commonplace.  A buzz needs to be generated leading up to the release.  We can all say the buzz began with the leaks, but seriously, the hype has fallen off since then.  Mainstream media isn't popping over it anymore because nothing new has happened.  Hell, most media don't even report that CITR has been leaked...they just talk about the initial 3 (Rolling Stone's article ignores the CITR leak).  I can see a late-April release, but that's the earliest I can see at this point.  And I have a feeling we are waiting for this court trial to pass before anything is said.  Something leads me to believe the release hinges on the verdict.  I bet Slash/Duff are trying to null-and-void the contract with Geffen because they are no longer there, effectively making Axl label-less.  I don't know the details, so I COULD be way off, but it just seems rather interesting that the machine has switched on with the trial about to happen.  I bet this is where the hold up is, and if so, the rants at the summer concerts should be very enlightening.  Axl has been mum...that probably worked in his favor, as Slash and Duff have been very vocal at everything and are trying to make it look like Axl was in the wrong.  Axl is patiently waiting to say it in court, which will appeal to the judge as he will look like the victim more than the aggressor.

Do you honestly think that all of us "little boys" are gonna help Geffen recoup their $13-million?  Its gonna take a lot more albums that the few thousand or so of us hardcores that make up the core fanbase.  To a lot of the mainstream, GnR is a joke.  Chinese Democracy is a joke in itself (think about what the title infers....China will be a democracy before the album comes out has been the biggest joke of them all).  The failed tour was a joke.  The years of silence that followed was a joke.  Its gonna take a lot more than us fans to make this a hit, and that's if we each buy 3 a piece.  Geffen will promote this...to assume otherwise is folly.

Axl owes me $70. I figure if I download the album about 5 times, we'll be even.

assuming that the album costs approximately $ 15 dollars, im sure they can easil;y make up 13 million dollars, but that is only if the album actually sells well. I am positive that the album if released will sell very well, mostly in part by older fans.
