Phony band name release thread (Store employees report here)

[Edward Rose]

I don't know if this thread is allowed cuz I'm new. But here goes...

All right here's what we'll try to do. We'll try using the IDEA of that other rumor with the off chance that this is the method that will be used for a sneaky release. So what we need is for "Major" music store employees to look for a new release from a band they don't recognize, but with the "Number of copies" up on the order of what would be expected by a major band's new release.

If you find anything shady, CHECK THE INTERNET FIRST to see if the band really exists. Then if not, report it to this thread. 

And remember, we might end up finding different phony band names in different cities and countries, so don't be disillusioned if we find something and then also find other names in other places.

GOOD LUCK!

This may just end up bringing more attention whores out to play.

[vedderone]

I agree no more speculation threads please

[Edward Rose]

This may just end up bringing more attention whores out to play.

But surely there are MANY reliable members here who work in a major music store, no?

[Eclipsed107]

no!  reliable member or not we don't need any more speculation.

I give you cred for trying stuff, but the album will be out at the same time regardless, I really dont care if I find out 6 hours before it gets announced by way of a phony shipment name. If the boxs come, regardless of  what the box says or the name of the shipment, it's only a matter of time before someone opens the box, see's the adendum for display and release date, and tells every body.  This seem pretty pointless to go through all this.  I'd rather try and cure cancer or something.

[Edward Rose]

no!  reliable member or not we don't need any more speculation.

Then delete if everyone feels so strongly about it. Science Chirst!, that's all anyone is doing here anyway.

This SEEMED like the best idea to have a heads up. But what ever!

The phony band name thing was already exposed as FAKE.

If I remember how the story went .. it was something like someone from another forum made it up to start shit on all the forums. ?I believe it got him banned from that other forum and HTGTH and probably all the other GNR sites he posted it on.

It's in one of the threads on this board but I'm not about to waste my time looking for it.

Did you even READ my post? 

I said the "IDEA" of that rumor. Because we also determined that it's plausible.

Yes, I did.? ?The point I was trying to make (and obviously failed) was basically the same thing everyone else is trying to tell you, i.e., that any mention of that phony band name, and the other rumors already exposed as FAKE, only bring out the trolls and spammers.

Sorry for not explaining my reasoning before.

[Edward Rose]

Well then, like I said. Delete. But don't act all surprised if that ends up being how they do it.

People, people, people, let's try to follow Edward's lead here.....

If the mods don't want us doing it, they''ll just delete... no harm done. But otherwise it might be fun. (I have no frikin' idea why I rhyme sometimes )

So the HMV bit was proven to be a fake.  I lost track when it got sucked into the huge "CD release date rumor" thread.

"This has nothing to do with Michael Jackson any previous rumors"

[misterID]

Why are people being a dick to this guy for? Shit, you don't want to read a speculation thread don't fuckin read it. It's not difficult. 95% of topics on this board is based on speculation. That's what happens when there is no information.

Edward, keep doing what you're doing, man.

I know.  I see where you are going with this.  I have just been wondering about the other thread and how it ended.

I approve.  If it can give any info whatsoever I'm all for it.

Kiddos, you maybe on the cusp, of what you've been waiting for...for years....open your eyes and ears.

I thought the Far Downs/Blue Trees Green Grass was awesome! 

This thread is what this place needs.

No need to slag Eddie Rose for trying to bring the mood up around here.
