You should have some confidence in the band/management.

I believe what you see being sold is promotional copies.

I have faith in the band.
but I was hoping that us fans would be allowed to buy/get the promotional copy.

I know that we have the song on gnr.com, but let's admit it... we're all hungry for collectibles. and this is the best one of them all.
the is the first official release of any Chin Dem material in a hard format!


it would also save me 80$ :D that now I'll have to pay to some asshole.

18 people already signed it.

It would still be the same promotional single even if the song was released commercially.

It would still be a collectible.....

that's the point of the petition.

people would rather pay 50$ to the band, than to some bastard on ebay.
we're trying to get the band to notice this, and offer the thing for sale them salves.

You know, I assume that the record label has taken this into consideration.

i agree with lucky in the sence that the band should recognize this as truely something collectable to fans, however, for something to be collectable doesn't it have to be official? plus only a few people are gonna pay $50 for a CD that has one song on it when it could be DLed for free on teh website/myspace. the only people bidding on that item now are idiots with cash imo

:peace:

i see your point....but if you dont like the price on ebay or anywhere else then you dont have to buy it....Regardless if its released as a single or not it doesnt relate to the value of the promo... All the Chi Dem promos ive been watching on ebay have a very low starting bid so you cant really blame the sellers for the prices.
in the mean time heres a cool article that trocoli posted recently
