Red Herring???

Not sure if this has been brought up in any of the leak threads (past & present), but does anyone think it's possible that these tracks are just red herrings?
Some believe they were leaked on purpose and I can't say I entirely disagree. If Sanctuary or whoever was going to leak something, why not a song that was already leaked almost two years ago (just in better quality). Notice it's only a demo, too. Then there is the 80 seconds of 'Better'...
What is everyone doing right now at each forum? Bugging the shit out of Dark, Wes and whoever else to leak TWAT. Not saying that they have inside knowledge of some distraction plot, but you gotta admit, this has all gotten EVERYONE'S attention and most of us are looking in the same direction right now.
That's how the magician works his magic. 'Look at this hand over here'...while the real magic is happening in the other.
All I'm saying is that IF these tracks were leaked purposely by GN'R or their management, it's plausible to think the reasoning behind it would be to fool pirates, hackers and others who would rather see CD on the internet before it's released.
Personally, I expect there to be some kind of 'damage control' when it comes time to release CD in order to avoid it leaking online before it's in stores. What that could be, I have no idea (earlier release than announced, perhaps, like other artists have done???). But this would be a clever way to keep everyone's gaze fixed in a certain direction while at the same time building up the momentum and safely delivering the product in the end.
As my signature has been saying all along..."I knew the storm was getting closer!"
REAL CLOSE, I think!

I agree. But on a different track. I think all the Slash back in GNR talk is a red herring, to distract from any actual plans going on 'behind the scenes'

everyone tinks theres a ton "going on" behind the scenes and what not. My opinion? Axl went home after his few outings in vegas , b-day bash and all , went to his bedroom , went to sleep and hasnt left his bedroom since.

[scene opens]
Red headed, scruffy, shirtless man with long hair gets out of bed, stumbles to the kitchen, and grabs some OJ out of the fridge.? The settings are pretty posh, if a bit "cluttered".
He opens the container, downs some OJ straight from the carton, wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, and heads over to the "breakfast bar".?
Man grabs laptop, flips up a screen, and boots up the computer.? The glow of the Windows XP start up screen is reflected on his face.? He clicks the "MrMojo" login icon, double clicks on Internet Explorer, and suddenly we see the oh so familiar HTGTH forum appear as his home page.
Camera pans back to show man deeply engrossed in reading the forum, clicking away.

I think your right.
And I'm speculating an iTunes release.
No manufacturing buildup required, gets these tracks online without them being stolen, etc.

I didn't think of that...but that's a good point.

I think they were leaked by Axl or someone. I find it odd he mentions BETTER and now IRS and part of BETTER has leaked. I think they want the whole song BETTER to leak out but the people that have it are worried

We might see an itunes release initially (single, maybe early album preview), but there will definitely be a physical CD.
MP3 (or Apple's version) are not full quality digital audio. On a good sound setup, they can sound muddy and nowhere near as good as CD quality. Axl, being the perfectionist he is, is going to want his material to maintain as much fidelity as possible.
Not to mention....the label is going to want a traditional CD release. They'd pretty much demand it, I think.

Here's my guess:
they started distributing some of these 'sample cds' to a few people a little while back... maybe just 20-30 at first. the cds only have 3 real songs on them, and they're demos not finals, so not much harm can come of them. then they start to spread... circulate... and people start talking....
i don't think they'd be too upset if another song and a half leak, because they know nothing more is coming out. it's a controlled leak.
just my guess, i could clearly be wrong.

SOME people have more than 80 seconds. they're just scared to release it.
i can pretty much guarantee that.
that's why i agree with the person who said the whole song was intended to be released (if you buy into the fact that it was intentional)
