Last night of tour - full performance of Chinese Democracy?

[irgspice]

As a signal to the fans, media and general worldwide consumer base it would be a smart move for GNR to play Chinese Democracy in its entirety on the last night of the U.S. tour.  This way we would all gain the confidence that they have, in fact, written and rehearsed an entire album of material.  Bootlegs of the show would swarm the Internet (much like the leaks did about a year ago), allowing for the new sounds to sink in.  The quality of the bootlegs would, of course, be different than studio versions, so quite a bit of value would exist in the studio album.  In addition, having a live version of CD spread all over the place could actually help reduce the expected impact of the album leaking before it hits stores.  The wide availability of the bootleg songs would reach many downloaders before the leaked studio versions (or at least confuse them).

Just a thought on a way of giving back to the hardcore fans, generating buzz and protecting the value of the studio recordings.

Never going to happen.

[Chief]

doesn't make sense to me. why would they play all the new songs since then the anticipation for hearing the whole album would be MUCH less.

[EFISH]

Never going to happen.

What he said.

And I didnt read the thread, but I know what youre saying fromt he title and first sentence, and sorry but that'd be an aweful idea.

[gunsnroses85]

Would be great if it happened but as stated above it would somewhat lessen the hype. Also I'm sure some songs off the album won't sound well live because they haven't practiced them.

[Axl4Prez2004]

I'm glad you're not in charge...that's not a very good idea, I'm sorry. ?Don't worry though, we are in for a fun ride with the album coming (fingers crossed) in 68 days. ?

[LittleFly]

It would be an awesome idea if we could get all of the regular posters on all of the GNR boards to come to one place to hear it.  For the casual GNR fan it would really suck, because no one would know what they were hearing!

[Lucky]

yeah, and he could start throwing 100 dollar bills in the audience!
that would be a great idea!
just imagine it!
woho...
and he could bend over as well!
now that would be a thread...



not gonna happen. use some common sense next time you hit "new thread"

That's not entirely true. 95% of the projected record buyers would never bother to download live bootlegs. Doing such a stunt would do little to none damage in terms of record sales.

If anything it would create the extra hype and attention to sell more copies.

[SterileEyes]

Never going to happen.

mmhmm thats right 

[Howard2k]

Can't say I like THAT idea....     Not that it would happen anyway.  Imagine if you paid to go and hear a bunch of the hits and had all the new tracks forced down your throat?

[Bodhi]

are you out of your fucking mind?? what planet are you on?

[Ak1nney]

I'm hoping for one hell of a show, some new surprises maybe?

[nooz]

Game theory...not bad actually.

[cotis]

noppppe not happening.

great theory but noooo.

[jc524]

i could see them playing Prostitute or If The World, then announcing it as their first single to be released to radio stations later in the week


 

[Mr. Redman]

yeah, and he could start throwing 100 dollar bills in the audience!
that would be a great idea!

And throwing $500 bottles of Vodka, and his rings, and...yeah, this will never happen.

"hey guys, wanna go the GNR show wednesday?  I heard Axl's giving out cars!"

I don't see why GnR' can't perform a new song from their forthcoming album. Perhaps Prostitute or If The World?
