i just read on chinesedemocracy.com that a radio station near this guy played brownstone and then said .. "so, we are going to be getting the relase date this friday.. finally!"
something like that.. 99 percent sure its fake as always, but i mean.. you just never know 

The radio station in question was Buzzsaw on Sirius

Ok I see now why its listed as Polydor. Polydor records distributes the records of Interscope etc bands in the UK. That's why its listed as Polydor on the hmv UK website.

OK I apologize


Edit: Appears Merck has said that the date is bullshit I withdraw my apology! 

[hackvresse]

If anything else leaks, I'm downloading it, unless we have an official release date.

haha I would even download the whole album if it leaks on day before the official release date. I mean what's the problem? Next day I buy the album anyway. We have waited enough

[Outtagetme]

Polydor is most likely the European distributor of the album.  Geffen/ Interscope will be the US distributor.  Many bands with international appeal use seperate distributors (usually part of the same company) to sell their albums in multiple parts of the world.

hmv always give a release date for cd every year last year it was april 8th 2005 now looks like the yhave bassed it on current rumors

?9.99 that's cheap for an album. Normally new albums are ?16.95
maybe they want to release the album cheap as there are 2 more discs to follow, or maybe the price will go up nearer release. Maybe they will keep the price cheap to make sure people buy the album opposed to downloading it. The thing i really want to see is the cover, as i just love art work

If it were real(which I doubt), Merek wouldn't confirm it until the planned date to reveal the release.

Hi All,

Take this with however much salt that you need, however, while in HMV yesterday, outta curiosity, I asked if they had a release date for CD, they returned to say "yes, November" I asked "this year?" and yup, November 13th 2006 apparently.

Guess its wait and see time then eh? (no change there eh? lol)

If that's the week of the American Thanksgiving, than I totally predicted that release date..

I wouldn't put any faith in that, personally. The only place that HMV could get a release date from is the distributor, who can only give a tentative shipping date based on pure speculation. Until the album is printed, it's just guesswork no matter who it comes from. When the band delivers the album and Interscope or whomever runs the numbers, then we'll get a (still tentative) date. End. Of. Discussion.

I may be wrong but new releases are usually on Tuesdays....The date listed is a Monday?  November 14th is a Tuesday.

[Minneapolisnewsman]

Well, I think this maybe correct.  Europe will get the CD on the 13th, and the U.S. on the 14th.  The best time to release an album is the the week or two weeks before Holliday shopping kicks in, and the malls are packed!  A mid November release makes sense. 

[Thorazine Shuffle]

I read an article with Axl after Rio in 01 and he mentioned it would be out the summer of 01

I was watching Behind the Music the other day and there was a release date for November 2004 mentioned.

Slash told an interviewer that CD was coming out March of 06.


Not to be a prick, but rumors are all we've had for 10 years.? Yes it makes since for a release this November, but it's made sense for this album to have been release since 2000 when the title was 2000 Intentions.

I'll wait for a date from Universal.?

[nonlinear]

2000 intentions was just an internet rumor

[Thorazine Shuffle]

2000 intentions was just an internet rumor

No, it wasn't.

It was the working title before the name "Chinese Democracy" which was first mentioned in 1999.
