I dont' see anyone denying the reach of Rockband compared to HD.

Oh My God was originally thought to be the comback of Gn'R and that flopped. Again though Rockband is bigger than a movie sondtrack.

It makes no difference though. Each time it's bigger and more relevant and each time it falls on it's face. I don't see the difference here really.  Just more of the same. People who preach they won't believe it untill they have a solid release date or actually hear a single on radio are once again going back on those words allowing their emotions and excitement to take over completely.  Maybe it's different for me since none of it excites me anymore. I mean the album could come out next week and will I buy it?  No. So maybe it's just easier for me to stay "grounded" for lack of a better word.

One thing people are forgetting or refusing to aknowledeg or just don't know about is this "relase date time frame" is scheduled to happen around the same time as U2's new album. Is that the actual plan? After all this time they're gonna put out an album at or around the same time as a U2 release? Talk about bad timeing for Gn'R. They arent' that stupid are they? This is reason enough for me to believe it's not happening. Unless it's an ego thing and Axl wants to go head to head with an absolute giant. Good luck.

If I' correct wasn't there an online music service (amazon or somewhere like that) That had a release date for september of 08? If so this will be a GN'R vs Metallica battle lol
