Title: Phony band name release thread (Store employees report here) Post by: Edward Rose on November 15, 2006, 10:27:31 PM I don't know if this thread is allowed cuz I'm new. But here goes...
All right here's what we'll try to do. We'll try using the IDEA of that other rumor with the off chance that this is the method that will be used for a sneaky release. So what we need is for "Major" music store employees to look for a new release from a band they don't recognize, but with the "Number of copies" up on the order of what would be expected by a major band's new release. If you find anything shady, CHECK THE INTERNET FIRST to see if the band really exists. Then if not, report it to this thread. And remember, we might end up finding different phony band names in different cities and countries, so don't be disillusioned if we find something and then also find other names in other places. GOOD LUCK! 8) Title: Re: Phony band name release thread (Store employees report here) Post by: 1badapple on November 15, 2006, 10:30:00 PM This may just end up bringing more attention whores out to play.

But surely there are MANY reliable members here who work in a major music store, no?

Title: Re: Phony band name release thread (Store employees report here) Post by: dman1991 on November 15, 2006, 10:36:46 PM I give you cred for trying stuff, but the album will be out at the same time regardless, I really dont care if I find out 6 hours before it gets announced by way of a phony shipment name. If the boxs come, regardless of what the box says or the name of the shipment, it's only a matter of time before someone opens the box, see's the adendum for display and release date, and tells every body. This seem pretty pointless to go through all this. I'd rather try and cure cancer or something.
Title: Re: Phony band name release thread (Store employees report here) Post by: Edward Rose on November 15, 2006, 10:37:23 PM no! reliable member or not we don't need any more speculation. :( Then delete if everyone feels so strongly about it. Science Chirst!, that's all anyone is doing here anyway. This SEEMED like the best idea to have a heads up. But what ever! :confused: Title: Re: Phony band name release thread (Store employees report here) Post by: GypsySoul on November 15, 2006, 10:37:39 PM The phony band name thing was already exposed as FAKE.
If I remember how the story went .. it was something like someone from another forum made it up to start shit on all the forums. ?I believe it got him banned from that other forum and HTGTH and probably all the other GNR sites he posted it on. It's in one of the threads on this board but I'm not about to waste my time looking for it.

Sorry for not explaining my reasoning before. Title: Re: Phony band name release thread (Store employees report here) Post by: Edward Rose on November 15, 2006, 10:44:38 PM Well then, like I said.

If you have a problem with speculation, then I strongly advise you stop coming to this board. It's all we do here and on every other GNR board. There's nothing wrong with this thread. Anybody who's been here for a while knows who to trust regarding this sort of info. Besides, even if the Far Dows thing isn't true, I still believe stores will receive it under another name. I say let the thread live. Title: Re: Phony band name release thread (Store employees report here) Post by: BurningHills on November 15, 2006, 11:09:36 PM Not to get off topic - but I work in radio.

I often think of the George Michael Joke--and think they don't know how to stop, when the Door is open--just post whatever comes to mind, and never a thought until they are either banned, or rendered obsolete and ostracized completely.
What's the difference between George Michael and a microwave?

Back to the topic at hand--I think if we see a name like 2000 Intentions, or the previously rumored titles floating, things must be getting serious.

Back to the topic at hand--I think if we see a name like 2000 Intentions, or the previously rumored titles floating, things must be getting serious. Well one of the things from said rumor that's also significant, is that the band name doesn't exist. So we might see names of bands that don't exist so they won't have "shipping" computer problems. And then after opening the box of course, they would enter the real name into the store computers as they have to do with new releases anyway. (every Tuesday) That's the theory at least, that I was able to gather from credible music store employees who described the normal process as they talked about said rumor. And I went through HELL to try to get those procedure answers at another bb while everyone spammed.
