isn't there a thread like this about cd each year where it's listed...?

GNR's label is Geffen/Interscope not Polydor. Or have I missed something?  ???

Fuckin great news.  Ofcourse if it isn't another bs release date :-\

every year HMV has this title for a fall release...

would be cool but ive seen it before...

Chinese Democracy was scheduled for April 25 2005 last year with HMV.

well, wouldnt it have to have a press release before stores can pre order it, i mean how do they know its coming out without a official release date? ???

GnR aren't on Polydor this is bullshit

Good news, but I think the album cover is a bit of a letdown. The puppy doesn't fit the songs, IMHO.

Errrr.....ok then  :-\

i think the dog is just the HMV logo !!  ;D

That's HMV's trademark logo, has nothink to do with GnR, they just put there own logo there when an official album cover isnt avalable.

if this is any help BTM has cd slated for november 2004 :peace:

Im suspicious of those suggested albums.

labels of Universal Music Group: Barclay, DreamWorks, Interscope Geffen A&M, Island, Def Jam Music Group, Lost Highway, MCA Nashville, Mercury, Mercury Nashville, Motor Music, Polydor, Universal Motown Records Group, Universal Classics Group (darunter Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, Philips und ECM) and Verve Music Group.


Maybe they changed their label within universal ?

 :no:

It was a joke... :hihi:

pre release cd
so it doesnt have a code yet ???

No their listed on the Geffen website not the polydor one, which means they are on Geffen Records.

If they made a move like that I really think there would be an announcement of some sort. Never know though you could be right. But I still highly doubt it.

sanctuary will be the label surely?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydor

"Polydor Records is a record label currently headquartered in the UK, and is a subsidiary of Universal Music Group."

On polydor homepage GN'R is listed as "their" band

I wouldn't be surprised if they changed their label within universal.


Yeah on a flier or something.  wasn't it listed as under POLYDOR as well?

Yep, I'm sorry to say HMV has a habit of doing this with various releases not just Chinese Democracy. The release date is pure conjecture on their part.

I think its strange that no one noticed that GnR is listed on Polydor's homepage  ???

maybe CD will be released by Polydor and they are only listed at geffen because Greatest Hits was a Geffen release...

What if I pre-order it now?

(not that I will)

I'm a little more optimistic about this date than other past release date rumors because:
-The band is touring well into the summer and a US fall tour may be planned.
-The band have said new album in the fall.

Ok I see now why its listed as Polydor. Polydor records distributes the records of Interscope etc bands in the UK. That's why its listed as Polydor on the hmv UK website.

Ok I see now why its listed as Polydor. Polydor records distributes the records of Interscope etc bands in the UK. That's why its listed as olydor on the hmv UK website.
that explains everything :)

other bands listed on Polydor website: (in addition to GnR)

Audioslave, Eminem, Nirvana, The Cure, Gwen Stefani

dunno about the rest but Nirvana was a geffen band at one point

bitchin! :hihi:

actually the cure, limpbizkit, snoop and Gnr are all listed on both polydor and geffen...so maybe polydor is just the UK version of geffen or something :-\

Yes as I explained earlier, Polydor just distributes Interscope/geffen bands records in the UK.

yeah just posting proof ;)

also it's not listed on HMV.com (Canada) yet :no:

Off topic: Are CDs normally that expensive in the UK? $17 pounds is like US$30 which is like AUS$45   :nervous:

I said on the record label holding up the CD thread that the date would be Nov.14.  Perhaps  I was finally told something of some substance from someone who might know... ;D

for the last ????? how ever many years!!

I've been hearing since 2000 :rofl:

well     13th september is definitely a nice date to release CD i think :peace:

most importantly before the US tour....

looks like November 13th is the date that's listed

well... that date sucks imo.... they should not play one single date in america without having released the album imo.... maybe axl is a little blinded by the succes in europe.....

i think theyll be fine satrtin a tour in the US as long as theres a release date for the album

i think nov 13 is a date that coincides with axl's "Late fall" statement....but hopefully a single will be out in time for the KROQ show in sept :nervous:

Incase anyone is woundering, 13th November is a Monday.

nah never, no1 wud pay more than ?10, hmv always do that tho to make u seem like ur getting a better deal, but they never actually sell any at that price, apart from really shitty ones  ;)

Wait....you mean you guys missed it?

CD is already out!

Edit: Got beat to it..damn!

But seriously:

1) It's certainly not an official date

2) While Geffen IS the bands label, Polydor might do the distribution in the UK (remember, you're looking at the UK HMV site).

3) Sanctuary is NOT the bands label.? Their the bands management.? As has been the case for quite some time.

4) Polydor is a UK only label, and if they're doing the distribution in the UK for the album, it stands to reason the band would be on their home page.

5) A monday release in the UK would make sense, no?? Aren't all releases on Monday in the UK?


Edit: And I know I was beat to the punch on some of the above stuff......I was reading and writing simultaneously.

I just emailed Polydor about it ... wait on their reply.

Anyone here able to email Merck?

yes a monday is when 99% of albums are released over here, they sell all week for the charts the following sunday!!
apart from eminem, he delayed his till the friday on his last album due to internet leaks i think lol

and around 9.97 for a brand new single disc cd, 14.95 for a double disc special edtiton....rough prices you will find in woolworths : ok:

 : ok:

I dont know why it matters its listed on a site. Who the fuck cares. We've been through this before. Its been listen on sites  a lot of fucking times, and guess what, we still dont have the album. Until there is a press release from Axl saying the release date it isnt coming out.

is this the new cover? - if so, how cool!  :beer:

...i'm joking

Bullshit. Sp1at confirms.

Sp1at and Merck the two post reliable sources  :nervous: :confused:

tut tut go and read you HTGTH guide to moderating the board book again  :hihi:

13th November hmm ill wait still till its officially announced i thinks  my fingers have been burned to many times in the past

in the UK (and i think the rest of Europe) cds come out on mondays.  in the US (and Canada?) they come out on tuesdays.

yes : ok:

Not sure if this has been posted but -

 ???

Someone already posted this today.

It has been posted and found out that hmv and similar sites post a releasing date for chinese almost every year. or at least so they did in 2005. dunno  :confused:

Oh well, I ordered mine for the sake of it.

Had one from Amazon.com last year too...

Shit, this album could soon become the world's biggest selling album never released  :hihi:

I will believe it when I feel it in my hot little hands!!!!!!!!

I remember ordering 999 copies from amazon last year  ;D

Hope you didnt run out of space and kept room on the shelf for the real thing  ;D

Wouldn't you have been buggered if it had really come out then  :rofl:

Could it be that the Brits get the album before us Yankees?  Tuesday is usually when stuff is released here in the States.



That's assuming if this date is legit.  :hihi:

Dunno bout the Brits...what about the eastern europeans :confused:

No CD for you Eastern Europeans!  :hihi:

 ;D that would make us the legitimate "downloading motherfuckers"... :hihi: we can trully call ourselfs believers in (chinese) democracy...we know how it is to live in comunism  :yes: :'( 

How many false release dates have to come and go before some of you wait for an official announcement? If Axl(or maybe Merck) says it, then it's official. If not...IT'S NOT.

We will get the album before America (A day before), that's usually the way. However it will leak probably a month before that release date. When it does i'm not gonna touch it though, I want to enjoy the other 6 or so songs we haven't heard yet with the booklet in my hands  : ok:

HMV always fantasize about release dates on their website unfortunately so I won't put to much faith into it until we hear from the man himself

i'm sure there guess is based on some truth.

maybe they are aiming for that date.

but im sure if HMV (well, im not vfery familiar with this site) knew something, we would too.

If anything else leaks, I'm downloading it, unless we have an official release date.

me to mandy  :hihi:


but if the whole album leaks a few weeks before the REAL release date...

i'm gonna do what the poster a few posts up from me said..

i'm going to wait it out.


damn, if the time comes for that... it'll be hard!

God bless the leaks! :peace:

And i wonder what names the "thanks to..." list will include

HMV Date Fake    
Written by Administrator       
Monday, 19 June 2006    

HMV, famed for their dog logo, are today famed for their bull.

We reported earlier that HMV have listed Chinese Democracy on their website here. According to them, it will be released on 13-11-2006.

Merck Mercuriadis has confirmed though that date listed on the site is bullsh*t.

www.sp1at.com

that's what i thought the second i saw this thread
CD is coming in September,not November

Guess what

(http://www.lasvegas-nv.com/showpics/pennandteller.jpg)

the date seems to late? plus the wrong label - got to be fake

when do you guys think the album artwork will surface? really looking forward to that  :drool:

i just read on chinesedemocracy.com that a radio station near this guy played brownstone and then said .. "so, we are going to be getting the relase date this friday.. finally!"
something like that.. 99 percent sure its fake as always, but i mean.. you just never know  :P

the album will be out before the us tour starts. Look for the single august. I would also think that tickets will go on slae for the us tour in a month or so. ITS COMING!!!  :peace:

The radio station in question was Buzzsaw on Sirius

My confirmation e-mail! :hihi:

Thank-you for ordering from www.hmv.co.uk.

The details of your order are listed below.

Order No: 09549961
1 CD Guns & Roses Chinese Democracy GBP 9.99


SubTotal: GBP 9.99


Shipping & Handling: GBP 00.00
Total: GBP 9.99

All amounts are in UK pounds.

OK I apologize


Edit: Appears Merck has said that the date is bullshit I withdraw my apology!  :)

haha I would even download the whole album if it leaks on day before the official release date. I mean what's the problem? Next day I buy the album anyway. We have waited enough

Polydor is most likely the European distributor of the album.  Geffen/ Interscope will be the US distributor.  Many bands with international appeal use seperate distributors (usually part of the same company) to sell their albums in multiple parts of the world.

hmv always give a release date for cd every year last year it was april 8th 2005 now looks like the yhave bassed it on current rumors

?9.99 that's cheap for an album. Normally new albums are ?16.95
maybe they want to release the album cheap as there are 2 more discs to follow, or maybe the price will go up nearer release. Maybe they will keep the price cheap to make sure people buy the album opposed to downloading it. The thing i really want to see is the cover, as i just love art work  :beer:

If it were real(which I doubt), Merek wouldn't confirm it until the planned date to reveal the release.

Hi All,

Take this with however much salt that you need, however, while in HMV yesterday, outta curiosity, I asked if they had a release date for CD, they returned to say "yes, November" I asked "this year?" and yup, November 13th 2006 apparently.

Guess its wait and see time then eh? (no change there eh? lol)

BomBom

Sweet!

If that's the week of the American Thanksgiving, than I totally predicted that release date.. ;)

I wouldn't put any faith in that, personally. The only place that HMV could get a release date from is the distributor, who can only give a tentative shipping date based on pure speculation. Until the album is printed, it's just guesswork no matter who it comes from. When the band delivers the album and Interscope or whomever runs the numbers, then we'll get a (still tentative) date. End. Of. Discussion.

Play.com sell new chart CD's for ?8.99 and ?10.99 for a 2-CD set.

Well, I think this maybe correct.  Europe will get the CD on the 13th, and the U.S. on the 14th.  The best time to release an album is the the week or two weeks before Holliday shopping kicks in, and the malls are packed!  A mid November release makes sense. 

I read an article with Axl after Rio in 01 and he mentioned it would be out the summer of 01

I was watching Behind the Music the other day and there was a release date for November 2004 mentioned.

Slash told an interviewer that CD was coming out March of 06.


Not to be a prick, but rumors are all we've had for 10 years.? Yes it makes since for a release this November, but it's made sense for this album to have been release since 2000 when the title was 2000 Intentions.

I'll wait for a date from Universal.?

2000 intentions was just an internet rumor

No, it wasn't. ::)

It was the working title before the name "Chinese Democracy" which was first mentioned in 1999.
