naa.. too early.
Dont know why they are making a new story about making more prints of a GH album

[Rhinoculous]

re releasing and making new copies are completely different.

ie stores will expect and be delivered a shipment of gnr cds to be sold starting that day.

But it will be the same cd? same cover? same songs?

[Rhinoculous]

or will it?

Yeah, i know.. but somehow.. i guess the promotion would already have started or something..
but, damn.. yea, it would be a suprice... a big one..

maybe the re-release of the GH album is one of the conditions for the fulfilment of Axl & co's demands regarding the release of CD 

[Brundle25]

Maybe its the current GNR line up re recording the old songs? including Pitmans keyboards and all that.....

[Tommie]

How many albums is Axl contracted to release under his current deal?  Maybe this is a way of fulfilling his contract?

Is it posted on gunsnroses.com? No.

Until it is, don't assume Guns N' Roses is releasing anything.


To me this sounds more like the record company is re-releasing an album that sold more than they could've imagined.

It didn't take more than 1 post for the conspiracy theories to pop up and bore us in yet another thread 

[ppbebe]

regardless of this or any conspiracy, I'm assuming GNR is releasing cd tho.

agreed...but to add to the speculation (cuz i know jarmo likes it when i speculate ) anyway i wonder if this is another ploy to force axl's hand at the negotiation table..we all know Axl (as well as duff and slash) were up in arms about the GH when it was first released in 04...i jsut wonder why on earth they would do the exact same tracklist..i wonder if they will at least change the packaging?

another thing is that there are a billion copies on the shelf whenever i go into a record store so i really dont understand why they would need to ReRelease it. it makes aboslutely no sense

of course this could be a GH that axl apporves of (ie the rumored double disk from a couple years ago "Welcome to the Jungle: the Very Best of Guns N Roses") i dunno if i'm even allowed to talk about that rumor though...i guess we'll find out if this post gets deleted

How can it be a re release when the album is available all the time any way.

[pilferk]

I can't remember...it's been awhile since I bought my copy, looked at the jacket, etc but...

Wasn't the "old" version of GH a digipak?  Soft cardboard jacket, etc?

Honestly, the rerelease could be something as stupid as releasing it with "standard" packaging.....

I think it was available in both packaging formats.


Notice how both these news sources are UK based?
