Re: Chinese Democracy release date?
My guess (as it has always been) is CD comes out and then there's a reunion. It's the only thing that makes any sense and explains the lack of promotion, lack of news on any of the "band members", etc. The album is being released through Best Buy to get the money upfront, contribute an album to satisfy the recording contract, and prepare for the real cash cow.
I've always said I wanted CD to come out ASAP because a reunion wouldn't happen until it did, I just never thought it would actually come out. I think I win the free copy of CD that was offered at the old RoV site...my date is going to end up being the closest.

Yeah I was way off with my guess. I forget when that was, 2006 I think? I chose November of THAT year I think. At least I had the month right. Do I get a consolation prize?
I don't see a reunion happening, not anytime soon at least. However, if Robin doesn't come back, say Tommy re-joins the Mats, then anything could happen. But I expect Tommy to stay put and I even think Robin may actually return now that things are starting to shape up. Give the new or current lineup at least one tour to promote a record that's theirs that's actually released first.
Re: Chinese Democracy release date?
Well, I dunno about you guys, but for me, after CD comes the discussion, then Slash's solo record, VR's new singer, the CD follow-up album(s), possible reunion, touring, etc...
Actually, I was on the verge of calling it quits when Scott bailed and the CD/Reunion rumours started again.
Yeah there will still be plenty to talk about. Especially with 2 bands. Hopefully there'll be a tour to promote the album. Then we can get back to normalcy and start complaining about the setlists again. Enough of all this positivity!

"i just never thought it would actually come out"
and
"my date is going to end up being the closest"
don't go together and so you lose, my friend
Wrong. My guess was an actual date even though I figured it would never come out. I don't remember exactly what it was, but if I remember the rules right, you couldn't go past the date, so i think I was in pretty good shape. I had sometime in 2009 or 11 I think...it was so long ago and so unimportant at the time.

They already toured to support the album (multiple times)...they even quit the last one to finish the album (it had nothing to do with poor ticket sales). I think it's far more likely that they don't tour for CD than they do tour for it. I believe the next tour will have Slash and Duff in the band (for better or worse).

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the new band - is dead. Done, over. The post-96 era is not officially closed because the album isn't out yet, nor has a reunion been announced... but it's like a TV show. Once the album is released, that'll be your 'series finale'. When the reunion is announced - 'official cancellation'.
Either way - show's over.
Robin is with NIN
Richard is with Rihanna
Tommy is back with Paul and 'rumored' talking Replacements reunion
Dizzy is working on a solo album
Buckethead & Brain, who both presumably appear on the album (Bucket is confirmed) are LONG GONE. If you were an 'active band', a true band, why would former members work be on your album? Doesn't make sense, unless they're all hired Guns. No different than the Oh My God sessions.
Only way Guns N' Roses re-emerge at this point, at least as a 'live act' will be in a reunion. Doesn't mean Axl can't continue the brand name on as a 'studio only' act, but he knows he can barely sell tickets at this point with the new band.
I also don't see Irving Azoff backing the new band. He's a BIG player, and if he knows more money can be made with a reunited GN'R, he'll push for it - HARD. If Axl balks, Azoff will have no problem showing AXL the door. He's not going to work with talent who don't want to work at their upmost potential both artistically and financially. He has a line WAITING outside of his door. He doesn't have time to dick around with Axl's feelings. It's all about the benjamins baby.
