Axlin agreed on all that EXCEPT Axl doesn't NEED to self title the next album. Like monkeychow said if he's about the music and all that shit check the ego at the door and don't add fuel to the fire.  If he wants people to focus on the music then he NEEDS to give them a reason to and not yet another reaosn to discuss the name no matter how insignificant it really is.  Self titleing it only causes resentment among fans and gives journalists unneeded amo. In the end the only purpose self titleing an album would serve would be to boost Axl's already inflated ego.  Also knowing what the reaction would be(he has to know it cause we all know it) it would simply give him another excuse to use however he felt necessary.

Chinese Democracy was a self deprecating title cause he knew the album wasnt going to happen any time soon, I think it shows a light hearted mindset amongst all the crazyness of making the album.

If the next one is self titled imo it would be another lighthearted move  aimed at getting the most vocal of the "its not Guns N'Roses" posse knickers in a twist, and intentially give them something to gurn and cry about whilst giving them a raised middle finger. I think it would be pretty funny.

axlin, mikka & bono r completely correct in what they're sayin but that's what makes it funny - that level of self-deprecating/aggrandizing, wilful, purposeful stupidity is funny.

from msl at mygnr

we already knew axl originally wanted the self-titled record out in november 2009. we also know he turned in a mixed and mastered album in the spring of 2010 and asked for a july release. seems reasonable that he's still trying to get UMG to release the album ASAP.

If that's true why wouldn't they? If the album was already finished and paid for, what would UMG loose from releasing it, other than making some money? I guess maybe they're deadlocked about the level of marketing or something....i dunno.

In that same thread on mygnr, MSL said that UMG wouldn't release the self-titled album without US-dates in sight.

And thinking about DJ's comments about an new album and US-tour, things look good!

No doubt that if the next album is in fact self-titled, that is prolly the way Axl sees it!

It's like: "Guns N' Roses is whatever and whoever I say it is! And fuck you!!"

Funny as hell! I say go for it! 22

I think a self-titled album is a pretty clever move - simply because it'd represent a giant "fuck you" from Axl to all those opposed. "This is Guns N' Roses, deal with it."

The big FU concept only works on the slight chance that it sells. Otherwise, the only big FU is to Axl and the rest of his career without a reunion.

If you've allready sold 100 million albums, selling albums is prolly not the main drive anylonger!

Regardless, certain people and even certain fans will say it flopped either way.
