"You're an idiot"

When you run a little GN'R website, occasionally you get an interesting e-mail.
Could be a rumor about a show that turns out to be the first Velvet Revolver show or even a press release with a mention of a new bandmember.....

Today I got one of those interesting e-mails!

Seems like somebody at Geffen Records/Universal Music forwarded an e-mail
intended for internal use to the wrong person. This e-mail has a rough idea about how they'll promote the new studio album from GN'R.

The plan is to do at least some of the following things whenever Axl decides
to release Chinese Democracy (if that's the final album title). As you'll see, they're gonna try some new things (for GN'R) in order to promote the album:

----------

GUNS N' ROSES
NEW STUDIO ALBUM
CHINESE DEMOCRACY (TITLE - TBC)
PROMOTION
GEFFEN RECORDS / UNIVERSAL MUSIC


*** NORTH AMERICAN & EUROPEAN PROMOTION: ***
