I didn't see this info till today I guess I've been slacking on my obsessiveness haha, sorry about that.Why can't we post an article on here??

[GnR-NOW]

$50 bucks for the CD is steep, but I can see them doing it for $25.

Well...better a good riddle then no news at all!

[Spedgear]

Without fanfare and publicity...I think that would be quite a unique move to do something like that..And since the tour does kick off on a Tuesday , I do wonder about October 24th being the start of the 2006-2007 US tour...

If November 21st isn't happening..there's always the day after Christmas, the 26th of December..a heck of a way to end the year with the release of the new album (probably a guarantee it'll be #1 on Billboard at the start of 2007)

Merck did say it might come out without notice.  I mean there is little promotion I guess you could say, but not nearly enough.  That's why the idea of releasing the album at the shows would not surprise me.

[charlesfosterkane]

sell it at the shows this week and then release it proper a little later? that might make a little sense but it'd piss me off ... i guess its sort of like a movie opening in limited release before given the national treatment.

[Drope]

Mmmm... I don't see it as a posible thing to happen...

uh...i think the whole point is to make more money and prevent leaks...this wouldn't accomplish either.

i wrote that believing there's a way you can make a cd without allowing the music to get downloaded/spread. then there's 20,000 or so cds in circulation, a bunch of media types with copies, the fans with copies, everyone talking about how grand it is, but unable to replicate it properly. its not my theory of what will happen. to me it made a 'little sense' of a way to build hype and get something out without any warning. its the only way to get something out without warning, right?

Actually, I think a great idea would be to give away a short, 3 song disc at the opening night concert. Maybe with 2 released tracks (Better, IRS) and then 1 more song (myb even a good B-side that's not going to be on the final album).

That way, fans would listen, rave about it online & to friends, coworkers, and fellow students (Listen in dorms etc) and that would get word of mouth going fast..

As would uploading!! Even though they're finished tracks it'd really be nothing new, except for the 3rd song, but get alot of hype.

Also, wouldn't cost thee label much because most ppl who get it at the show would still buy the whole album, it would probably increase the percent of ppl at the show that will buy the album.. All for a relatively low fee.

same sort of idea as putting a couple new tracks on their myspace or something.

[WhatIsItMan]

I think the single will all of the sudden appear on MySpace.? www.myspace.com/gunsnroses

It was a setup!! They're all Twix! 


Yeah, I suppose you're right.

[JuicySwoos]

I would buy it.

One of my buddies went to see Prince when he was touring for "Musicology", and he said that when he got to the arena everyone who bought floor seats had a copy of the cd waiting in their seat for them. GnR should do something kick-ass like that.

If there were floor seats that would be a great idea. Maybe a huge pile of CD's in the middle of the general admission floor...............
