"Greatest Hits" on Sam Goody upcoming releases list

[kira]

okay sorry i don't believe it.

[Drew]

Now maybe Axl will release a "best of" with re-recorded tracks with the newest band. That would be interesting to say the least. Just do something!!!! 

Ever since Axl mentioned the re-recorded tracks in an interview, I wish he'd release them. I'd love to hear those tracks !

[norway]

That would be soo cool

[Jonx]

What kind of deal did guns originally sign with Geffen? Could this be a way of getting out of the contract, by releasing X amount of CDs. Guns only released 4 albums of original material.

Didnt aerosmith do something similar. They were locked into a contract in which they had to produce X amount of CDs before they could be released. Instead of going through all the legal crap they just put out shedloads of Greatest Hits and Best Ofs in order to make up the numbers.

If this isnt Chinese Democracy then it could well be another greatest hits. Axl may want out, we have been hearing rumours for ages about his relationship with Geffen/Interscope.

Cant someone just call this store up and ask them. Dont know how things work over in the US but in the UK i can just pick my phone up and dial any of the major music shops and ask them.

This is really Chinese Democracy in disguise.

this really wouldnt surprise me, the new star wars trailor was released under a different name to keep it a secret for as long as possible, some cinemas didnt even know that they had the trailor!

they could be oiling them gears up again!

I wonder if this anouncement can bea single or something??? It looks like the boat finaly arrives!

Well for all you doubters, give the guy a break.? He said that there was no release date yet.? He isn't saying CD is coming out, he isn't giving us a date.? All he is doing is saying maybe.? I'm tired of people giving 1 post people shit.? Think about it, a lot of people may hear something about GNR and want to go to a GNR website and share the news, or ask questions.? Therefor, they will be 1 posters and all we do is shoot them down.? Are some 1 post people full of shit?? Yes, but most aren't.?

Nice call - couldnt agree more. If someone has something to share be it rumour or whatever, give them a chance. An elitist type response is 'head in the sand' stuff

Chinese Democracy in disguise?  I don't think many people (other than members of this board) would listen to it if it was delivered right to their door, or email for that matter.  The last thing GNR needs to do is disguise anything else- in case you forgot, they've been disguising exactly what the fuck happened to the tour.

[SLCPUNK]

About two years ago there was a store up north that had CD listed and with a release date. I called to confirm it myself and the guy gave me the same name (CD) and date.

Nothing ever came of it.

So...don't get your hopes up, even if it is on their computer..whatever 'it' is.

Mysteron?

Aerosmith signed with columbia, and did owe Geffen a couple more albums, but that situation is totally different. GnR have been using Geffen's money for the past several years recording this thing. They can't just decide to release a greatest hits to fulfill their contract and walk away with the Chinese Democracy masters.

And Chinese Democracy will not be released or put on a release date list under a code name. I don't know who has been reading too many mystery novels, but my god....the album has been in the works for years. The last thing they need to do is keep the release date "a secret". If it's ready to come out, they're going to do everything they can to get the word out.

I agree. No reason to hide the date after all this wait.

[norway]

Yes, but everything must be in the startboot before the startoff, gettin things in the startboot may be done secretly

[Mikkamakka]

Maybe they won't even tell Axl that CD will be released like it 'happened' with the European tour years ago.

I agree with Lesty: they won't hide Chinese Democracy if it ever comes out.

They done a pretty good job so far

[grog mug]

I think it'll be some kind of weird release process that Axl will come up with.  When that girl told me that Greatest Hits is still on upcoming releases and it's supposed to be Axl's version; I'm sure it's probably either re-recorded past GN'R songs, or CD in disguise.

[Sterlingdog]

Hey grog mug, did you ever check with them again after that one time?  And if you did, was it the same answer?

[PeterCoffin]

No reason to hide the date after all this wait.

Doesn't fit, must aquit.

[norway]

Guess they hit us hard when it's availebale for "us"

[One in a million]

Chinese Democracy with 10 extra bonus tracks.

10 extra bonus tracks = Axls version of GNR's greatest hits.

[grog mug]

Haven't had a chance to check back just yet, but I'm going to this weekend.  I'm sure I'll get the same answer, but I'll make sure I talk to someone different this time.
