The oath / I will not listen to leaks

[DoubleTalkingJive]

Nah..I am gonna listen, if there for me to listen I am, I will listen...I have been waiting too long...I am believing more and more it's the record co.  leaking this stuff.   

[Lucky]

I felt like crap any time I got a bootleg.

it's like the first time I got drunk and first time I took drugs.

you hold on so long with out it and then in an second it's all gone...

In a second? Must have been really bad booze and dope. 

[BLS-Pride]

I now take an oath to listen to every linked track that crosses the internet's path...

[Saul]

I thought this was gunna be about the KISS song from music for the elder. 

[that girl]

Edit: By the way, since I'm obviously no native speaker: Is it make, take or swear an oath?

It's to take an oath.

But I'm not taking this one.

[D]

The album is gonna come out....
We've been waiting so long and it would be a shame to have heard every song in a demo form before the album is released.

I mean when its released, if we've already heard the songs, the magic of picking up the CD and being surprised is ruined and for what? So we can hear shitty clips of half a song?

Ive been waiting and have been excited for a very long time and im not gonna spoil it now. So i won't listen to anymore leaks.


I think a lot of u are gonna be mad at yourselves as well once the CD release date is announced.

Come on Everyone, this has been an amazing ride, meeting all these people on this forum, developing relationships, going through all this together.

So why spoil it by listening to leaks?

Lets all of us do the right thing and wait for the CD to come out, that way we can all enjoy it together in the way it was intended.


Stop and think for a moment.

Just picture in  your mind the release date of Chinese Democracy, now imagine how u are gonna feel inside, that rush of adrenaline, the nerves, the anticipation. the camping out in front of the record store with fellow GNR fans awaiting the albums arrival.

Now think of how diminished all that is gonna be if u sit here and here most of the album in a shitty quality demoed way.

u will go from being excited and a once in a lifetime thing happening, to not really having anything to look forward to.

I for one will not diminish what has been building up for the last ten years. I am waiting till the album comes out in stores and ONLY THEN will I listen.

I heard Madagascar,the Blues, CD and i honestly wish i hadnt, I heard IRS and once again, I wish i hadnt.

So im not ruining anymore surprises.


Who's with me??

together we can all wait and do this.

[Schwarzgold]

Erm..

[Steel_Angel]

LMAO!!!!!!

who cares about bieng surprised?!? im buying the album STILL. no matter what, nigga.

I NEED THE REST OF BETTER!!! ITs SOOOO GOOOOOOD 

[BLS-Pride]

You know.. as Im reading this topic.. I haev I.R.S blasting.. couldnt really read correctly.. whats this topic about?

[Saul]

there wont be anymore leaks. unless the rumors of what was played at the club being taped are proven true.

*drool*

[the dirt]

It's cool if that's the route you want to go.

I don't think any one should be upset with those that are sharing with one another, though, not at all.

The album is gonna come out....

Nobody knows this for sure.

[tinyrobot]

bah, stop being a sheep to the GNR vile environment...

Axl himself showed some songs live and direct so fuck it... now its too late for having regrets and also, in my case, I will still buy the CD and go nuts even if I heard it all 10000000 times...

But there is no chance of us listening to the whole CD before time so, blah, dont even worry about "betraying" your idol, haha... JUST BUY THE ALBUM, thats what matters 

[Evolution]

I listened to some 1 minute clips of the new CKY album before it came out in the summer and i found it made me want to hear more. I personally like knowing a little, and then waiting to hear the full thing.


Having said that, i respect your way. Takes a lot of willpower 

[D]

why spoil the most anticipated album in music history though?


the last few big albums Ive looked forward to, I have messed up by listening to snippets on websites.

needless to say goin to the store and buyin the album and hearing it for the first time in its entirety was so diminished that i didnt enjoy the process and the albums as much as i use to.

So im not doing it for any albums, i will never again go to bonjovi.com and listen to the songs before the album comes out, i won't do it for the RHCp's new cd, and I wont do it for the most anticipated album Chinese democracy.

I want to go into the Best Buy and get this off the shelf with no idea of what im about to experience. I want to be bombarded by song after song and be surprised and amazed at what im hearing.

if u listen to all the songs on the net via leak, that experience won't be the same and I think we've waited to long and have anticipated its arrival too long to just go and spoil it all now.

[BLS-Pride]

Why? Cause the fans are treated like shit.

[the dirt]

I heard Madagascar,the Blues, CD and i honestly wish i hadnt,

So if you attended one of the shows where they played those songs, in hindsight you would have worn ear-protectors so you wouldn't have heard them?

[D]

no but I would've liked to have experienced them for the first time by hearing them on the album.

think about it, we've heard almost a third of the album already.

I dont want to hear anymore of it, iwant to be surprised.

[Schwarzgold]

think about it, we've heard almost a third of the album already.

First, we know frack about the song list.
Second, the difference between live, demo and studio is enormous. When the Boston promo came out, even the poor 2-second-snippets showed that we know nothing about the final versions.

[Evolution]

Who's to say all we have heard will be on CD? It's possible some of them will be on the 2nd album.
