Is it finally coming out? On December 20th, a double "Best Of" album called Welcome to the Jungle was supposed to be released, rumour was that it was a cover-up for CD. Well Amazon has changed from WTTJ to CD. link

I know I'm not the only fan here. :)

As far as the 2025 release date thing, Amazon does that for most new products when they don't have an exact date. :p

considering the fact that Axl Rose is the only band member pretty much and the fact that he's a douchebag...

and also considering the fact that he has a big mouth...

it will never happen.

just let it go, Axl. Let it go.

Lets see...

Axl the only band member? As of now there are two guitarists (three on the recordings for Chinese Democracy), a bassist, a drummer, and a keyboardist. Now I'm not that great at math but I think that's more than one band member. And don't bother amending your post to say "the only original band member" because the keyboardist has been in the band since about 1990 so he's been there through thick and thin.

Maybe he's a douchebag with a big mouth but I don't think that has any bearing on the likelihood of a release. Besides his label has spent over $13 million on producing the yet unreleased album. Do you really think that any record company would really want to absorb a loss like that just because an artist is a douchebag with a big mouth?

I'm not saying it will happen soon, but for someone such as yourself to clearly not be informed about the subject to claim it won't happen is just foolish.

Spaghetti Incident never happened. :p

Chinese Democracy never will happen, and even if it does, it's not GNR. Slash, Duff and Matt are all in Velvet Revolver, and Axl's voice sounds like ****** these days.

This still cracks me up. How many copies are they gonna have to sell world-wide just to recoup their losses?
I don't think he can do it. Times have changed.

How did Spaghetti Incident not happen? Granted it wasn't well received by the masses and some critics.

Matt was always refered to as not a member of GNR but an employee.

Axl's voice hasn't been heard publicly for three years.

Spaghetti Incident was a cover album, not a real album.

CD is going to suck, but most folks will likely never know because I doubt they'll ever hear it.

I heard some of the tracks about 5 freaking years ago, assuming they're still going to be on there. Didn't sound too great to me.

Axl and whomever he has in his band that he hasn't managed to run off yet is NOT Guns n Roses.

Guns n Roses is Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Steven. West Arkeen was the unofficial "6th member" of the band, who helped with songwriting sometimes, and he's dead now so there's really no way to ever recapture the magic of the early days.

Pretty much any band can replace drummers and nobody will notice, so losing "Popcorn" Adler didn't hurt much, since he didn't write songs and Matt Sorum is a far better drummer anyway.

But losing Izzy was the death knell for their song writing. Izzy wasn't much of a guitarist, but he had a BIG hand in writing their best stuff.

The "Illusion" albums were the beginning of the end for GnR. Giving an idiot like Axl too much control has resulted in chaos. He had more control than ever on those albums, and they took forever to record and honestly, there's enough GOOD material on them to have made one really good album.

Now, Axl has complete control, and we see what's happened: Slash, Duff, and Matt are gone, he can't keep band members, and no new music, since what, 1991?
A cancelled tour, too.

I'm a HUGE Guns n Roses fan, but really, there is no GnR anymore, regardless of whether an album is eventually released under that name or not.

The name of the song is "Madagascar". It is a very good song. I've been waiting for this to be released just because of that song.
