New album as a 3-disc set

[mega_music]

I doubt we will see a 3 CD set.
However I could see a multi-disk release just for the fact it has taken so long for us to get Chinese, and it would shut up the assholes who will complain it took way to long to make Chinese.

This has already been posted.

Yes, this thread is to ponder if it is a wise move to reintroduce yourself with a three disc set. While we will no doubt drool over the prospect, it is asking a lot of the consumer, who may not even be that much of a fan. Will some pimply faced dweeb that works for Dominos Pizza want to shell out 30 dollars for a CD?

The pimply faced dweeb probably has never  heard of GNR since the last time the band released anything he  was about 10. So no, the answer  is no.

dude i would pay 50 bucks for a 3 disc set, there would be so many different kinds of music on it would be amazing. I hope they do that.

[GnR-NOW]

i just hope they get something out soon, whethers its just 1 disc or 3

[scawl18]

Would love 3 cd's' at one time!

[oneway23]

Let's concern ourselves with 1

[badapple81]

Wow, maybe the songs will be in sections like 1998-2000 etc..

[GnR-NOW]

Wow, maybe the songs will be in sections like 1998-2000 etc..

good point, i think it would be cool if there were time sections like 96-98, 98-2000, then have the main cd be chinese democracy

That definintely could be.  We could see, Critter's production (97-99), RTB/Ezrin (99-2002), and Axl's production (2002-2006)?

I think, there might be advantages to a double, or triple disc set.  Obviously, the fan base is not as large as it was in 1991.  Moreover, the market is not as condusive to selling 10 milliion disc's in a year.  On the other hand, the fanbase is rabid--they will not only buy every disc that GNR releases, they will buy multiple copies, or a GH's package just to add it to the collection.

GNR, at $35 dollars a pop, will realize a huge profit margin to pay back production costs, but also have a base in N. America of about 2 million fans that will buy it, and another 5 million around the globe that will.  Sell 7 million units, at $35 a pop, and you are talking about $245,000,000!!  That would make business sense.  If the music warrants it, it might work.

who cares?  either way, I'm gonna buy it regardless...as for the rest of the population, I don't give a sh*te what happens....
me and my gnr music.....utter bliss....

Whether it is a 1,2 or 3 disc Album, AXL has his own plan...
That's why it takes 13 years to complete..
He will only release when he is ready...
Have faith guys..

I am suspicious that the leaks come direct from GNR camp.
I think They just want to see how the fans reaction before finally releasing the album...

[GNFNR_UK]

I can't think of any rock bands that have released a 3 disc set  At least none of the bands i'm into have.
However, I heard the Chili Peppers wanted there new album (released in May) to be a triple originally because they had so many songs but narrowed it down to a double disc instead with different bonus cuts appearing on different pressings (cashing in with this one!).
I think the best thing would be a double album really,  other bands have managed to do this and make it a success (Smashing Pumpkins,Nine Inch Nailes, even Guns themselves) and Axl clearly has the material for it.

People saying it may cost too much....Gimme a fucking break.....I would buy a 5 disc set for 100 bucks if thats what he put out....The more songs the better...We have been waiting only 12 fuckin years......Probelm with 3 disc set is didnt AXL say 26 of the 32 songs are done.....With AXL tiem frame to finish up the next 6 songs will be another 3 years

Maybe he meant that 26 of the 32 were nearly completed being mixed, and that four were just beginning?

[Thorned Rose]

No one knows what was said, so stop saying he meant this and meant that.

I would take this as a truthful thing...  what I think is going to happen now, is that it will be 3 separate albums. Not like a box set with 3 together but 3 separate albums.... released at the same time we don't know...

"collection" I would say it will be 3 cds at the same time though or very close to the same time (within a year max)

That's what I think...

I'm becoming thrilled with all this news...

[RichardNixon]

I am against the 3-disc idea. Too many great songs will be burried, like with UYI. Three dsics would mean 3 hours of music. Outside us nutswingers, who else will get that involved with the album? I think Prince had a 3-disc set that is now sitting in the cutout bin next to "Native Tounge."

I think he should release them one at a time.

[Chief]

I am hoping there is a cd with bonus tracks or whatever like he mentioned in 02.
anything bonus to get more people to buy it, that's what i'd do!!!

[McDuff]

I think Axl will release 1 album at a time,that would make more sense than 3 at once.See if he releases one at a time when us fans wear out the first album he'll release another one and so on.

[awolgnr]

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones released a three cd set a couple years ago, and also offered a single disc "highlights of the set".  Alice in Chains released their boxed set but also released "best of the box" in a single disc.  One choice satisfies the die-hards and the other choice satisfies the casual fans.  GNR could do that. 

I think it would be smarter to do what System of a Down did...    GNR could release two 13 track CDs six to eight months apart, and tour the whole time.   Release three singles off of each album and just keep the momentum going.

I also wonder about the possibility of GNR doing what Motley Crue did.  Release a two disc "Best of plus" set with all their radio singles, favorite album tracks, b-sides (Shadow of Your Love, Whole Lotta Rosie), a few polished up demos (Cornshucker, Ain't Goin' Down) and their soundtrack songs (Sympathy for the Devil, Oh My God).  If that's not enough, then add two or three brand new songs that will not be on the new CD to whet everyone's appetites.  That would have been a better idea than the half-ass Greatest Hits that Geffen insisted on releasing.

let's be resonable guys. a 3-cd box would be really stupid. besides the hardcore fan base no kid is going to spend a lot of money on three cds from a guy his daddy and mommy used to listen to. no chance in hell they will sell millions of albums cos it would be too expensive. and after that you wouldn't get any new material for a very long time again.
but i don't think we should talk about the time after the cd release. let's hope it will come out.
