Sorry guys just came on today and found this interesting. I have to say the album is NOT done. Why would the record label have it in their possesion and still be discussing with Axl. They've got it, so now distribute it their way. The album isn't done. This all seems like more elaborate scheming and rumor slinging by the GnR camp themselves to buy more time with the fans. I'm not bitter, I don't care lol. I'm just wondering why none of you have considerd the posibility(real good possibility) that the album is not done let alone handed in. The album being handed in and the label still negotiating makes no sense. Axl loses all leverage once the album is in.  He'd have no say basically.
