He cares just enough to complain about a release date.
People care a lot about things, but there comes a point for everyone when they give up on the "impossible"
I cant see the album coming out this year and if it doesnt, Ill be really gutted. I went to see GNR in the summer - never saw the original line-up, but was really impressed by GNR last summer. Great show. But if it doesnt come out and they decide to have another tour next year or the year after promising "CD" will be out, I wont go. Its like the band that cried wolf.
But to be honest the old GNR, the real GNR are what means the most to me and Ill never stop listening to them. Axl must deliver, there is so much riding on this.
