Title: Full page advert in The Sun newspaper Post by: cyllan on October 24, 2008, 06:46:42 AM As the title says, in today's Sun newspaper (UK tabloid) on page 18 is a full page colour advert, stating "It's official! Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy. The new album released 24th November 2008. Pre-order now http://www.chinesedemocracy.co.uk
Underneath "It's Official" it has a picture of the cover. It looks bloody amazing and the best thing was that when I came into the office, it was sitting on my desk staring at me; one of my colleagues had photocopied and laminated it for me! They all know of my obsession. :hihi: The link below is to The Sun online article, but unfortunately not the advert. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article1843845.ece Sorry if this has been posted before but I haven't had a chance to read the board this morning - actually had to do some work this for a change! ;) Title: Re: Full page advert in The Sun newspaper Post by: -Jack- on October 24, 2008, 06:47:04 AM Can't wait for a scan :D

Title: Re: Full page advert in The Sun newspaper Post by: wells on October 24, 2008, 06:53:34 AM I think chinesedemocray.co.uk is set up by universal and not amazon ... but, yes the link points to amazon online store ... anyhow, cool :D

(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o26/cheapjonday/gungh6.jpg) bet me to it.........by about 30secs : ok: Title: Re: Full page advert in The Sun newspaper Post by: cyllan on October 24, 2008, 03:05:11 PM Here's the scan of it I did - had to reduce it from A3 to A4 to fit on my scanner. Sorry it took so long, I've never posted a pic here before! I see that it's already been posted but thought I'd add mine 'cos it shows the Geffen logo at the very bottom. Gives me goosebumps every time I look at it. :)
Fingers crossed this works! (http://i34.tinypic.com/mx0xfr.jpg) Title: Re: Full page advert in The Sun newspaper Post by: jarmo on October 24, 2008, 03:20:42 PM Thanks for the scan!

Title: Re: Full page advert in The Sun newspaper Post by: TWT on October 24, 2008, 04:01:44 PM So we get it one day before the UK? I'll let u guys know how great it is! When we pre-order stuff online from places like play.com and HMV, we often get them delivered before the release date anyway, so Chinese Democracy starts in the UK... whenever postie turns up and puts it through the letterbox. Title: Re: Full page advert in The Sun newspaper Post by: Dickeye on October 24, 2008, 04:03:32 PM I get my pre-orders late now from play :-X
Title: Re: Full page advert in The Sun newspaper Post by: DuffRock on October 24, 2008, 04:32:37 PM So cool to have something in print! The whole GNR experience over the past few years has been for die-hards only, now the general public is getting a taste and it's freakin' awesome!
