Chinese Democracy II? Will it ever come out?

[Seb_912]

I'd like to think it will come out within a couple of years. I guess it depends whether Axl wants to use some of the older material and add in the current lineup like he did with Chinese or make a completely new album with the current band. There's probably tons of material from when they were recording Chinese still around [Bach confirmed this] and it would be great to hear. I think the main reason why Chinese took so long wasn't just Axl being Axl. There were issues with the record company (I read somewhere that there was a version of Chinese finished in 1999 which the record company rejected), Buckethead leaving also must have delayed things. Zutant said that there was also a pretty much finished Chinese in 2002.
I guess they'll do the 09/10 world tour then go back to the studio, patch up some more of the older material and release it. It seems as though most of the problems Axl seems to be having are with the label. On another note seeing as how KISS and Journey have included their greatest hits rerecorded by the current lineups with their latest albums, does this mean that the time is right to release the rerecorded Appetite with the next album?

The optimistic GNR fan in me says "yes, there will be another album released by the end of 2010".

Same here. I've got my fingers crossed!

I guess we'll soon find out

There realy is some dumb fukin ass's out there. who gives a fuck when the next album out, im enjoying this one still thanx. There will be a new album soon im sure. I didnt mind waiting for chinese democracy. It's amazing people slagged him off for not realesing it faster then the next thing they think chinese number 2 not comming out, if it even called that. It's just like when buckethead and robin left it took time to work with a new guitarist and find one good enough for starters. Axl/guns n roses is never going to be one of those bands that realeses albums fast and brings on stage any old guitar player. Thats why the new guitar player isn't fukin ricky parfit from status quo or somthing, O.k. that was just a joke example but do you want a band that releases stuff every year and just goes through the motions on stage without putting there heart and sole into every performance. Just the same as did you want a new gnr to hit the stage and release a new album in 1995 and be no where near as good as you had hoped. I can also see why axl keeping the name. He should be proud to carry it on. Dont get me wrong i love duff n slash etc to bits but Axl didnt leave the band and the name carries world respect.  It stands out. this is a new guns n roses album. It's the band and the name.

Haha... Any huge Axl fan care to wager?

Lol, yes there should be a pool going on for bets on when the next album will come out.

I however think NO on this year, the band will be too busy this whole year touring the world and will not have enough time to record and/or write new material. It all depends on when they get off tour I say.
