Title: rumored marketing strategy, album format, new guitar,and release date (spoiler?)
Post by: nonlinear on February 20, 2006, 07:59:59 PM
I pasted this from mygnr  what do you guys think http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=62659  :

I got this info from a french journalist with contacts in the music industry. Please do not ask for the name, I will not tell.

It's 2 CD's, a double album, not two single dics like UYI I & II, just a 2-CD set, like "Mellon Collin" by The Smashing Pumpkins. The leaks were coming from the band as part of some massive worldwide promotion campaign that is just about to start. The guy also told me that there won't be any more leaks and that "Better" will be the first single and up on iTunes soon. He said this song introduces the new guitar player Miquel Angelato (sp?) and this guy "wipes the floor with Buckethead" (that's what he said). The video was directed by Martin Scorsese, the director of the movie "Goodfellas" and Michael Jackson's "Bad" music video.

You can believe this or not, I don't care. In a few hours all hell will break lose and you will see for yourself.


Here's the release date for "Chinese Democracy":



***** SPOILER *****

DON'T SCROLL DOWN IF YOU WANT A SURPRISE!!!








































































FEB 28

Unless they release it through iTunes or something - I can't see how they can distribute copies of the album by that time.

Damn, now you now.

You also need to know that Axl decided to use me as the main star of this first video.

Yes, I admit it, we shot the video last December... It's called December Snow.

I seriously doubt this.  However, I will allow myself to remain open to any / all possibilities.

I'm fairly certain that if this were the case, a Press Release would be out within minutes / hours stating so, though.

Unless all stores have it in stock already, but are instructed not to go public with it yet... anyway, I don't believe this

yeah o.k. I can't believe it. I'm not knocking you nambis just the report. The release date is only 8 days away and a single hasn't even hit the radio airwaves yet? Not a chance in hell. Radio singles are the best way to promote an album and they haven't even doen that yet. When U2 released How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, Vertgo hit radio 2 months before the album was released and that's U2. You know the biggest band in the world who hardly needs any promotion. There's no way i can see the album coming out in 8 days, let alone March even.

A friend of mine talked to Dizzy 2 weeks ago in LA. I won't bother with details because none of you would belivie me anyhow. I will share one thing though. Dizzy said the record would just come out unexpectedly in March...No release date or "single"

BTW: I doubt Scorsese directed a GNR video recently- that I doubt.
