What are you gonna do on the day of the release?

[HoldenCaulfield]

Well, I live in a shit town where my only option would be to get the edited version at Wal-Mart. I could get it at 12:00 am that night, but I want the album to be in all it's glory, unedited. So I'll either get up and go to the nearest "big city" 45 minutes away, get to the mall when they open, then listen to it on the way home. When I get home, I'm going in my room, turning the lights off, and sit in my chair, listening to it in my headphones. Then after the album, I'll listen to it in my stereo a few times whilst reading the liner notes and lyrics... 

[Slashisthebest]

I'll slap my self in disbeilf when I have it in my hands, not believing what im seeing

[D]

im gonna find a store that opens at midnight so i can hear it when everyone else does

i dont wanna sit up all night reading about it knowing i cant go get it till the next day

we have zero record stores here so i have to drive 45 minutes just to buy it.

but i will not listen to it on the way home.



get home, sit on my bed, put it in the cd player, get the booklet out

i will write all the titles on pieces of paper and draw song titles out of a hat

i will listen to the songs based on the order of what i draw out of the hat.

it will be the greatest thing ever!

[YouCouldBeMine]

Ill be the first one to get a copy as soon as it opens, go home, and literally fuckin listen to it for hooooooouuuuurs, meanwhile buying as many diffrent concert tickets as I can online. And then to top it off, find some chick who likes Gn'R and bone the fuck outta her.

[vicarious existence]

Wow, a thread on this board hasn't made me smile like this in a long time... reading everyone's posts made me feel so giddy inside!

Anyway, here is what I'm going to do...

Wake up, get out of bed, put on my pajama bottoms, and get in my car.
Drive to the music store.
Almost get into an accident on the way there because I'm still half asleep.
Think about holding CD in my hands, then become wide awake.
Enter the music store, pick up CD, marvel at the front and back covers for a few minutes with a huge smile on my face.
Proudly walk to the counter, still with a smile on my face.
Pay for CD, start to peel off the wrapping as soon as I am walking out of the store.
Put the CD in my car stereo, immediately listen to the tracks we have heard already (like someone else would do).
Get home, run to my room, shut the door, find my cd player, place CD into my cd player, shut off all lights, tv, windows, etc.
Play CD over and over until my batteries run out.
Skip school/work in the process.

 

[usurper]

I would buy the album, skip school, buy a 12 pack of coke and listen to it so many times that I know the lyrics off by heart. To EVERY song.

[D]

buy a 12 pack of coke!

i dont know why but that cracked me up!


My brother has a friend at an FYE and he let my brother have Troy like 4 days early

so im hoping when CD arrives maybe my brother can pull some strings and allow me to get it a few days early

then i can rub it in all of my fellow boardmembers faces!!!!!!!!!!!

[YouCouldBeMine]

Or.....I'll develope parkinsons, won't be able to open the sealed wrapping on CD, becoming severely pissed, off myself, and then be the first person to listen to CD with Jesus. 

[Jizzo]

buy it at midnight from tower on sunset and crash the car on the way home

[thelostrose]

after probably not sleeping very much - just like i was a kid right before christmas - i'll get up, have some breakfast and then i get right to the nearest record store, with a big smile on my face, buy it, get home, unplug my phone and listen to it.
after that i guess i call my work and apologize for oversleeping!

[Wooody]

All us lot are gonna be like Gollum in Lord of The Rings...My Precious!!!!!!

God help anyone who gets in my way on that day.

haha, so very true.
after I buy the album, and check it out,  I'll make a review. And then i'll buy a KILO of MJ and check it out a second time while I'm really high.

Download it for free from the net

I'm joking

If it is released in Feb, i'll go out and buy it. If it is released after Feb, i won't be able to go out and buy it, as i'll be in another part of Europe that dosn't have much in the way of music shops, atleast not yet anyway. So i'll have to wait 6 months on top of Feb to obtain my copy of CD

I'm sure some kind board member or friend would send you a copy?

Fuckin hell, think about it, you'll be a missionary for Chinese Democracy! Spread the word!

Or another way of looking at it might be that Axl has made us wait over 5yrs for the album, so now its your turn to make him wait for you to buy it!

At least give us 10 second clips of the songs!

The day it's released, and maybe even several days before, I'll stay away from the internet until I go pick up my copy and listen to it. I don't want to know any opinions. I don't  want any surprises from people who've already listened to the album. I want to experience it all on my own. Then, after I've listened Chinese Democracy, I'll get on the forums and share all the excitement with everyone else.

Thats good advice. I really hope that the record company will refrain from sending out any advance copies of the cd to the press or journalists, as just for once I'd like to hear it without any pre-conceptions (even if you don't read the reviews, some fucker will always say 'have you read the review in such and such? Apparently the albums shit!' or something.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Cash my social security check and go to the store and buy it!

[Sino-lieS]

Actually I realize what someone said is true....that the night before would be like Christmas when we were kids. I will be awake all night ecstatic!

I like the 12 pack of Coke ! Except you need a vat of Whiskey hehehe.
