GNR's 'Democracy' To Be Retail Exclusive?

[Bandita]

Bandita isn't boycotting Chinese Democracy, to the best of my understanding.

She's saying she'll get the album somewhere else if she has to, even if it means paying more for it.

FUCK!

Thank YOU!  I plan on buying 10 copies!  I just don't want to have to benefit Walmart!!!!

Seriously, I am a fan of this band since I am 13 and now I am almost 34, of course I am gonna buy the album!

Our posts were 52 seconds apart! 

When the Eagles put out their album, I think you had to wait a whole month before they shipped to regular stores.

If that's the case, I'll be late to the party.

There is no way I'm giving Wal*Mart one red cent of mine.

[Bandita]

Are retail rights only for a specific time period?

OK, I am being retro again but when I was a teen we had this store called Tapeville and it was awesome.  I loved buying my tapes and records in there!  I think I still have the original AFD tape I bought in there the summer after I got out of 8th grade.  Man, I miss those days!

The better choice in my opnion would be Best Buy. Best Buy doesnt censor the music, but their are a lot more Wal-Marts then Best Buys. Every store should get the record not just one chain

I heard AC/DC is thinking about doing the same.

2 days ago ....  I will buy CD no matter what, I do anything to get CD, I want it right now !!!

Yesterday ..... I will not buy CD if its released at Walmart, I hate Walmart, I am against Walmart, and will not buy CD because its released at Walmart.

STOP COMPLAINING !!!  I dont care if its released at Hallmark or Victoria Secret stores only, Walk in grad a copy and walk out, thats it !

[D]

D, I'm sure I would break down and buy it eventually if that was the only way.

I'm just hoping it turns out to be the other retailer, that's all.

I don't even use ITunes or have an IPod, I don't use IANYTHING, I am very retro!

You can always buy the import. Im sure the Walmart or any exclusive deal only is for the US. I admit I use Itunes to buy songs I hear of bands Im not a fan of and dont want to buy the album.

so many songs I've bought off Itunes instead of buying the full album.

You say Victoria's Secret like it's a bad thing.

I dont have an ipod or itunes. Rather have the physical cd and a cd player

[Bandita]

I have bought single mp3's off Amazon.

I most certainly want all of CD though!

[GNRFAN20]

The cool thing about getting the physical cd is getting the booklet, album case, and cd with artwork on it

[GnR-NOW]

Its going to be cool seeing Tommy Stinson, Richard Fortus, Robin Finck, Buckethead and so on ... on the writing credits to some of the songs.

I'm goign to be happy as hell for those guys, they deserve to have it out, just as much as we deserve to have it.

[jarmo]

I assume/guess that it'll be out on both physical album (CD, maybe even LP? Probably not 8-track, sorry Gypsy!) and mp3s.



Where ever it's going to be sold, if you're a fan, which most of you claim to be, you will buy it.

Sorry if I'm being too blunt and you get offended by that, but anything else seems very odd to me.

All the whining about who might sell it. What the fuck?

If you don't like your local retailer, go get it somewhere else. Drive to Canada, take a boat to England, order it online. There's ways around it.

But stop whining!

This is awesome news.

When people have an exclusive they advertise the hell out of it and create a good buzz.  It should help record sales, not hurt.  I am sure I will buy Itunes version and actual CD so bases are covered and I like the artwork on Itunes.

[Bandita]

No 8 track?

That's the last straw and I am NOT buying it now!

 

[D]

HAHAHAHA Jarmo with the low shot! I use to have an 8 track player....

This is probably a topic for another thread, but do u think sometimes fans act as if they are  too much apart of the band?

[freedom78]

Not crazy about the exclusive release, but this is still progress and I consider it good news.  Walmart...sucks.  Best Buy...sucks.  I'll still buy it.

I laugh at people  who say they wont buy it.

Even if u DL it, u are still technically getting it from Walmart AND stealing. So if u accuse Walmart of all this shit and u are illegally stealing music........ seems sort of hypocritical to me.

No way, dude.  Stealing from the Wal?  That's Robin Hood shit!

I heard AC/DC is thinking about doing the same. 

I believe that's 100% correct (in the US).  Of course, despite all their songs about sex and whatnot, they've never really been big with the cursing, so the censorship doesn't really apply.

[Gunner80]

Please any store but Wal Mart!!

[axl32rose]

Some people are just plain and simple FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best fuckin news i heard in a long long time,  this actually  means that Chinese Democracy starts now!!!!

For all you whiners and sulks, heres a tissue,

You's people and you all know which ones i am referring too,   you don't deserve to even hear CD!!!!

Im with the band on this one,  Right on Axl, get that masterpiece out!!!!!

you're right we should just steal it from the wal-mart shelves
