[FAKE] GN'R signing at Chicago's Virgin Megastore - this was a hoax

[TOPGUNner]

I'd like very much to know if this is real, because I live in NY and I would love to go to a CD signing. But chances are, there will be no confirmation if this is true...it will just happen

I can now confirm this is fake.
Sorry folks.

[Backslash]

Sorry folks.

Um, I'm just curious.  How did you confirm it?

[micfac]

back that statement up rockout

[Howard2k]

Look at how the picture conviently shows a bit of the snack machine to make it all look casual... I could print up a paper like that and stick it on the wall of my work too.

My thoughts exactly.   Late at night, print it off, stick it up there, take the pic, take it down.

The fact that this thread still exists should tell you that its not real.

[Perfect Criminal]

Think about this guys. ?

1. ?If this is supposed to be a surprise and no one is supposed to talk about it, how would anyone in Chicago know to show up at 6AM for the signing. ?In other words, if they don't advertise it, how would people know to even go?

2. ?Without Axl, who (besides a few fanatics here that live in Chicago) would care about getting the album signed by the hired guns? ?

This is obviously not true.

I lived in Chicago for awhile, have alot of friends there, and will be at the show on the 27th.  I'll monitor this situation through friends - and if I hear it's for real, I'll certainly be staying in Chicago for 12 hours or so longer than I planned.

kay so this is suppose to be a secret , and now it is on like for gnr fan boards , and soon will be on bbmouth.net, I don't see the seret here...

Call the store ask the manager or whoever is there is a potato chip machine somewhere with a poster board next to it, haha....act like the repair guy for the potato chip machine.....




I call bullshit

[uzisuicide2002]

Call the store and act like your a HIGHER UP and ask the person that picks up the phone if they have things in order. LIKE HAVING THE POST UP in that pic. maybe we can get something out of that.

[misterID]

You're really going to risk your job to tell fans of a band you don't really like about a show you're not supposed to talk about? Okay.....

He's also overexplaining everything, so that should be a tip-off.

lets say this doesnt get disproved and a few hundred GNR fans turn up to find it never happens.maybe some shit kicks off and some fans get arrested.that could be bad publicity for GNR.I THINK THIS NEEDS MERCK TO CALL IT FAKE before it gets outta hand.maybe mysteron or jarmo can shed some light here.

[Slashead]

it would be the same as that guy about 4 years ago selling the fake tickets to the GnR in Poland show. He had bilboards and flyers all printed up and for tickets you had to call his cell phone number.. 

Yeah if i showed up for this and there was nothing going on i would be really upset.

Unless you're in Chicago it might be worth the shot but I don't think fans are really gonna risk plane tickets or whatever based on some suspicious post.

Like a fake louie vitton bag in china town, this could really get people in trouble while using the logo of virgin, this better be real, if people are hurt then someone will be to blame.  I have a feeling those nerds wont be fighting mad with light sabres either.  I personally think as well as some of you that this is publicity aka intentional leaks by management to get the ball running and hopefully for the belated album release.  If not call me a sheep and sheer my ass, cause dammit I just need a shepherd.
