If new songs are played on the tour, will you listen to the boots/youtubes?

[Alan]

Most of this stuff is going to turn up in Anthology sets later on - just you wait. Thirty years from now: "The Chinese Democracy Sessions: Unreleased Material and Demos."

how many discs are they gonna need for that...........


and i think i'd probably listen  to any new stuff played live that gets bootlegged.

[russtcb]

I think I would.  Even if it means I've heard over 50% of CD before a release date is dropped, I don't think I could resist hearing new GNR material, especially since I'll be seeing them in a few weeks at The Garden.

What about you guys?

I'd like to think I wouldn't but ofcourse I will.

I have a feeling that come Wednesday (or late Tuesday night for that matter) I'll be listening to another song I've never heard from CD.

Lots of interesting points here. got to say though ill go with those of you who wouldnt want to but wouldnt be ablle to stop themselves from listening to new stuff. I wouldnt be able to come on here and see people discussing them without hearing them myself. I want the album but as soon as its leaked online them im gonna have to download it. and buy multiple copies though, so no-one can argue with that. I hope its on an opulent 3lp vinyl set too. yum

I'm hoping for vinyl as well. I have Spaghetti, Lies and both Illusions framed on my wall so why not CD too?

But I feel the same way about buying CD. Even if I come into it early (as we probably all will) I'm going to buy a copy ASAP when it's released.

[Rocksteady]

Ofcourse I will 

[Journeyman]

it will be difficult not to...but even if i do hear CD before it comes out, i'm sure as hell gonna buy 2 copies once it hits the stores

[Sillything]

YES I will!

[Bodhi]

I have the links on my ipod, and listen to them on a daily basis. except for catcher in the rye, im still not thrilled with that one....anyway yeah I will listen to the leaks/bootlegs, and I will also be buying 5 copies of "chinese democracy" when it comes out

[sakuL]

no i won't ... i even haven't heard Catcher yet ... I'm so proud at me :-D

If they play new material at the shows before my first North American show, I won't listen to it.

I'd like to relive the experience of hearing something new from GN'R for the first time at a live concert...

It's pretty rare these days.


So, I wouldn't download any live boots from the first two weeks.

Which shows are you going to, jarmo?

[mrlee]

id like to hear it studio first. i never enjoy a song first time hearing it live as i do if i here it live after ive heard it studio.

[charlesfosterkane]

i'm not listening to anything until the album comes out. i held off on the leaks/live stuff until july this year and i got rid of all of it soon after.

[jarmo]

Which shows are you going to, jarmo?

Starting in New Jersey and then travelling around for two weeks.

Reeeeaaallly hard question.? I held off listening to most of the leaks for a long time because I want the songs to be new.? I have only listened to the leaks that have been played at the shows at this point...on purpose.

I feel similarly to LittleFly.

I didn't listen to a single new song until I watched the KROQ Inland Invasion webcast.  After that I figured "The Blues", "Better", "IRS", and "Madagascar" were fair game, and I've listened to them over and over...  As well as a few others  , but those not so much.  While my curiosity tends to get the better of me, I still want CD to sound fresh when I get it.
