When would promotion start + Is November Really a Good Idea?

[BucketvsSlash]

lets face facts...the album isnt coming out anytime soon..Tommy is probably closest to axl and he even admitted that he is out of the loop..But feel free to fantasy about the ad campaign

November was a good idea 3 months ago. I said this once, but I'll say it again, there is no way we'll see the album in November. Period. Promotion should've started at least a month ago already. To this date, there's no movement ( as far as we know) at the GNR camp.

Do I want to see the album out by november? Sure, but if that's the case, there won't be hardly any promotion then.

What kind of promotion do you need for the most anticipated rock album in the last decade?
We don't need 16 weeks of hype. I just don't get what the point is of having 3-4 months of promotion. Go into any record store today and you won't see any posters or advertisements for albums being released during the holiday season. All we've seen so far is a couple of generic press releases for Eminem, U2 and a britney spears greatest hits.
I've stated this in the past: In today's world, news travels faster than ever.
C'mon...November/December is still a long way off.

I think it?s started for many moons.

Tommy is promoting well, like killing two birds with one stone, isn?t he?

China's population is actually over 2 billion.

Thank you for the input, Professor...after all, youre known here for your staggering intelligence.

However, the CIAs website has the Chinese poulation at 1,298,847,624 (July 2004 est.).

An old teacher threw that number at me years ago, and it stuck.  If it's wrong, not my fault.

I really think we will have short notice on release and then it will be a media/promotion blitz for the album.  I hope it is out in early November. U2 and Eminem are releasing albums on 11/23 and 11/16.  And U2 is gonna sell well as usual, as will Eminem.  So early November for a release and promotion in October.  I think the album/video/single will all come out very close together, maybe all together.
