GNR's 'Democracy' To Be Retail Exclusive?

[grog mug]

I agree, but like at Oh My God on End of Days.  Nothing happened out of that, even though I do think something IS going to come out of the Shackler's Revenge on Rock Band 2 I'm still skeptical.  If nothing is announced soon, then it WILL not be out this year.

The Album wasn't finished back in 99, the album is done the band has management in place.  Why do you think they hired Azoff just as a publicity stunt !

[grog mug]

I agree, but its always one thing after another.  I think the true hold up is the whole 3 to 4 album release strategy Axl keeps bringing up.....

Today was a holiday that's why maybe the press didn't get hold of it also its unoffical to.  I sure hope that blogger is correct, I couldn't take another damn rumor.

There's always news like this popping up all over the place, we won't really know until Best Buy or GNR release a statement about it.
"Rock Band 2" was just an ongoing rumor until Los Angeles Times (or some other major publication like that) 'confirmed' it, then MTV confirmed it, then GNR confirmed it.

"Shackler's Revenge" is the closest we have gotten to this point, especially considering that it was confirmed as being a track on the "Chinese Democracy" album. They've managed what we didn't expect a few months ago. There must be more to come.

I don't know how legit the source is, but this was posted early this morning at, http://chinese-democracy.blogspot.com/.  This has been pretty much speculated every year the last 3 years, the release date being around T-giving that is.

I hear that the deal with Best Buy is 99% done.

The plan is for Best Buy to have an exclusive on Chinese Democracy, which will be released the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

As much as I would like this to be true...they have been wrong before.

I said earlier, they have posted incorrect information before.  BUT, as far as I can tell they've taken those stories from other sources.  That Kravitz rumor was taken from Billboard.  They took it one step further and assumed Lenny would get the job, although said it wasn't official.  This latest story has no source, or at least one isn't given, so it's a little different.

Their source at the time appeared to be Metal Sludge, they just ran it with Billboard's copy from another story.

Regardless, like you said, they have posted incorrect information before.  But maybe this guy knows something...I hope so.  I guess time will tell.

Looks like it's somebody's blog where they copy and paste news.


As I've said in the past, as soon as there's a set release date, I'm sure we'll hear about it.

So the Tuesday before Thanksgiving is November 25th......

Christmas comes a month early?

Bob Lefsetz is about as credible a source as you can get. He's definitely in the know, he's not some JoBlow fan blog...

The guy sounds like an ass.  And not much info given there, even if he is credible.  Nice find by Ali though.  Well lots of people were pleading for Best Buy over Wal-Mart, so if it is true, they will be happy.

Hot damn I've got a gift card to Best Buy!

Somebody keep that pen, it's a collectors item.

[cineater]

Jarmo any chance you can get your hands on the pen that signs the contract?  You could have another contest here.

yeah jarmo we should have a contest with the board.  Whoever can guess the release date and the tracklisting should win a free copy and something else I don't know that's were u come in.

I entered one of those contests 2 years ago, needless to say, nobody won.

[ppbebe]

Are you sure nobody said it would be out in 2008?


I'd rather fight for the pen than a free copy if it's not with the members handwritten words for 'ppbebe'

[faldor]

Good point, I think most optimistically chose that year, but it's possible someone picked 2008.  Maybe they'll do like The Price Is Right and give it to the closest without going over.

Rollingstone reports Axl hired a new "high power" management team and there is a possible Nov. release exclusive to Best Buy..

[freddiebrph]

old news.  The best buy thing has been talked about for weeks now?
