I get the impression everyone tip-toes around Axl, afraid to upset him in case it stalls the release even further!
They need it released to recoup the recording expense.
Besides I doubt they'd have a case.. Universal's official stance is they no nothing about a release.. Maybe that's to protect them from law suits incase Axl fails to submit it for release!
We just have to be patient.. :\
Hmmm?!
I think Axl is stalling because he wants to ensure that him and his band can prove to the record company that they are worthy of still being signed.
Behind closed doors the record company will seriously be thinking of creating a contract where they make a lot of future profits while not having to keep him signed; they have probably had enough of Axl's prima donna mentality and I cant really blame them. Look at it from the record companies perspective; they will want all of the profit while not having to deal with Axl.
I think Axl is trying to protect the future of gnr by getting as much support behind him thus making it more difficult for the label to drop him, it will improve record sales, increase the fan base and make it more liely for him to be resigned to another label if they do get dropped.
With that competition in mind it will make gnr hot property again.
