Who gets Chinese Democracy first?

[FunkyMonkey]

There are a lot of members here from Europe, Canada, the States and beyond.  I can't believe some here will have CD in hand while the rest of us wait, but that may just be reality.  How does the release/distribution work?

[Cjc1706]

Im sure everything about CD has been discussed before. Why even bother with new threads? 

[FunkyMonkey]

That's speculation, not fact.

CDs are released in North America on a Tuesday. ?In Europe on a Monday.

Many North Americans believe that it's impossible that CD would be released in Europe first, so state that it would have to be released in North America on the Tuesday and then Europe the following Monday.

However - it could be released in Europe on a Monday (a day earlier). ?

But since even UYIs were released earlier on Europe (Monday) it'll propably be the same with CD..

So Europe will most likely get it on Monday and US on Tuesday.

Live Era was released worldwide at the same date, as far as I remember.

Could be.  My point was that we don't know, so saying as a factual statement:

US will get it first
or
Europe will get it first

is a bit silly.  It could work either way, we don't know.

We DO know that the US is NOT the centre of the universe.  Well, some of us do

CD pretty much always come out a day earlier in Europe.

And I live in Newfoundland, so we'll get the cd first in North America, by a half hour.

[give_it_a_rest]

CD's over here in Holland and also in Germany come most of the time out on fridays (official), so that's 3 days earlier. And I don't think because it's GN'R that this will be completely different.

[GNRBABY]

Most music is leaked from European sites that the US law cannot touch (thank god), so I'd say GNR being an American band it will hit shelves here first. Western Europe and Austraila will be right there also

Dont download the album, buy it! It will make an better first listening! 

I guess Europe may get it one day before the US. But im not sure.

I get it first. I'll tell everyone about it when I have it. My best friends dad knows this guy that worked at Interscope 10 years ago, who knows this guy that is still there, that dates this girl who is a receptionist there, who sucks off one of the higher ups almost every day... so I should have it first.  I can't wait.  But in all seriousness, I don't think I will be downloading the album when it leaks. If it leaks, I hope it's not a week or two before the release date. I hope it's a day before, so I won't have too long to wait. It will be hard not to download leaks BUT I KNOW how much better it will be to go to the store, buy the album, and listen to it in the car on the way home from the store. I have a bunch of paid vacation days at work, so I'm probably going to take that whole day off and I'll be taking off the 24th of Nov. for the Cleveland show. It won't get much better than being paid to listen to Chinese Democracy all fucking day long and watching GN'R live.

EDIT: I was thinking... if in fact it leaks early, I might listen to one or two of the songs I haven't heard yet and then wait to listen to the rest when the album comes out. I just don't think I have the will power to not listen to ANY of the leaks. Or I might just download the leaks of the songs I already know, like Madagascar, the Blues, IRS, Better, CD and TWAT, CITR, RHIAD if they make the album. Hopefully we get one or two B-sides with the first single as well.

Of course, people in other parts of North America probably don't have to wait until 10 am for HMV, Music World, Fred's (well no one else has Fred's), and CD Plus to open.  Haha, I guess we can get it at Walmart before everyone else!

Yep, Walmart always has everything available at midnight. I'm glad my town built a Wal Mart two minutes away from me, so I'll have it right at midnight. Anyone else that wants the CD at midnight, take the advice and go to Wal Mart, unless you know of somewhere else that will offer it at the same time.

Yeah, but if you buy it from Walmart, it WILL be edited.
