Chinese Democracy IS on iTunes...

I searched for it... here is what was found...

WTF???

Solution:

Find a friend that works at HMV and go to the store when they get "Blue Trees and Green Grass."

Open the box. Take a picture. Report back. Simple.

Has anyone called an American store and inquired about this "Far Downs" CD?

I called up a few stores. None of them had any info on Far Downs or Blue Trees and Green Grass. I even enquired about GNR's new album and got this response:

"We haven't heard anything about it. I think they decided not to do that."

It sounded like a punk who didn't even bother to check for either. If I had been there in the store, I'm sure he would have.

And instantly the forum turns to flood mode.

Keep us updated AF. I know you will

More new DVDs.

Calm down guys, he wants to make sure Chinese Democracy is ready for release tomorrow.

*ha!*

I doubt it will come out on a Tuesday. Knowing GNR, they will pull some kind of stunt and release it on some other day. The album has been in the works for more than 13 years. If they want to release it on a non-Tuesday, they will.

Weren't both UYI albums released on the same day worldwide?

AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock" album (1981, follow up to Back in Black) was released on the same day worldwide. Anything is possible.

My theory has always been that management would pull something like this. Last year I was talking to a friend of mine who got me into GNR. We were talking about Chinese Democracy and how it would come out, I thre this idea out there a year ago. They would release the album but with no promotion. You just walk in and see it sitting there. If they do this, it might be thrown in with the other GNR albums. No display. No banner. Nothing. Hell, it could even be in the used CDs bin (even I think this is stupid though).

I doubt that it will be released in Europe on Monday, then America on Tuesday. It would leak on the internet so fast that people who are in-between fans who usually just download albums (we'll call them cocksuckers for short) wouldn't buy the album.

What will happen if they take the little/no promotion route: possibly a small display, possibly in the GNR section. Released worldwide on the same day, just without promotion (maybe some AM radio station mentions it).

Heavy promotion route: people expect it, wait in line for weeks with CD players and headphones ready. They've already given the cashier's a $100 bill so they can run in, get the album and pop it right in. Everyone knows about it. It's everywhere, EVERYWHERE. You go to you local Goodwill: "CHINESE DEMOCRACY OUT NOW!" McDonald's will offer a special version with political games that make you the leader of China and you must wipe out all democratic opposition. Or you could be the pro-democracy group leader and assasinate the Chinese government officials.

Just my opinion. No one knows what will happen, but I can just see some of you driving to the record store already, looking for Chinese Democracy. You'll be there every day until it comes out, even if it's not Tuesday. You're so paranoid that management will pull a fast one and release it on Sunday and only in your local grocer's freezer. You search nonstop for it. And one day, you finally find the warehouse were they're all being stored... and each album comes with a commemorative silver case (just like the ones we saw Axl with earlier this year)!

What will happen for sure: $$$$$$$...... and a VERY happy fanbase.

Here's the article he's talking about: http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=78321&hl=

I'm confused.... if Axl actually said that the tour started October 24th, then why did they even schedule dates before? Why did Merck and the press releases say it started the 20th with Jacksonville?

This doesn't worry me a bit. Chrome Dreams is a company that releases unauthorized DVDs. The band's management has nothing to do with the release of this Collector's Box DVD. Also, Chrome Dreams DVDs are usually crap, regardless of which band.

I see that you've received my package. Have you sent mine yet?

Tomorrow...I just got paid today, and I've got to send out some other stuff to other people.

Ok, cool. Check your e-mail (caught_in_a_coma@hotmail.com or whatever that one is), I have sent you a message that you need to read.

I see that you've received my package. Have you sent mine yet?

All the shows are on the East and West Coasts.... very few in the Midwest and NONE in Texas, Colorado, Utah, or Arizona. Disappointing to say the least...

Hmm, will Axl come back to Indiana?

Someone is recording this, correct?!?!

GUNS ON!!!!

I'll give you HOB 2001 dvd for 50 dvds. I don't have any screenshots (I don't know how to make one ), and I don't know how to cut any clips to show you what I have. Please please please.

:xmasssanta:

DEAL!

He already says he doesn't have it. I'm very confused about why he posted if he doesn't have it and it doesn't look like he'll get it.

Unless the track is the 9th one of the DVD...

Anyway, if you don't have the DVD, I'm not going to send you discs when there is no guaruntee that I will get anything in return. If I was dealing with someone who had the DVD, then it would be a different story.

And to the guy who won't trade 7 very common shows for one very rare show, I don't know what to say to you. I don't like doing it, but if that's what it takes to get a show, I don't mind doing it, seeing as they can get the shows from nearly any trader.

By the way, Almost Famous, I think he wants the multicam proshot, not the Slash's angle DVD, but I could be wrong. Should be sending your package Monday.

I no longer need a shirt, I found a friend of mine in California who will be able to get me one.

Once again,

NO SHIRT NEEDED FOR ME!!!

Paris ‘92 Pro-Shot

Chile ’92 Pro-Shot

ST. Louis ‘92 Pro-Shot

Ritz ’88 uncut Pro-Shot

RIR First Night ‘91 Pro-Shot

Boston 3cam mix ‘02

I have those. I am do not have these:

RIR Second Night Pro-Shot

Slash’s Snakepit ST.LOUIS 09-05-2000

If you want, choose 2 shows from my list (http://www.freewebs.com/acdcussr/dvdlist.html) to put in place of those 2 shows that I don't have.

Also, is it 7 shows AND 40 Euros? Or is it 7 shows OR 40 Euros?

Another thing, do you actually have the show or are you simply saying that you will get it soon?

All right!! Let's just hope someone records it!

Since it's a radio show, I think this will also be broadcast on radio, hopefully TV.

Big update. Lots of new DVDs.

There IS a DVD of this show. I will be getting it soon, but I'm not sure if it's VCD sourced or not.

edit: I have also been leaving copies of the demos cds around town, at the mall, at the store etc etc.... so people are getting them, I label them guns n' roses chinese democracy demos, music from the forthcoming album.

Gunsguy

Haha! That's awesome dude!!!

THANKS DUDE!!! Remember, large. Please try to find one that doesn't have any graphic images or curse words. I want to wear this to school.

How much were the shirts for NYC/European shows? More or less than $30?
