Best Buy exclusive

[GnR-NOW]

I agree with the other post.  We never had 2 official releases with this band before.  Two songs in 2 months sounds very promising.  I also hope there is a midnight release !

They are all just quoting what was in the original post from Hits Daily Trouble


05.15.06 - Hammerstein Ballroom
11.10.06 - Madison Square Garden
11.13.06 - 1st Mariner Arena
XX.XX.08 -

I think you may need to edit that to XX.XX.09

Billboard reports as well! Looking more credible by the minute..

More than a decade after its conception, Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" will finally see the light of day before year's end, sources close to the situation confirms to Billboard. As first reported here, the set will be a Best Buy exclusive and will be available Sunday, Nov. 23, rather than the usual Tuesday.

Beyond enticing pre-Thanksgiving shoppers, the move is tied to the structure of Best Buy's sales week, which runs from Sunday to Saturday. As such, "Chinese Democracy" would not be eligible to chart on The Billboard 200 until the week of Dec. 1, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

In the run-up to release date, album track "Shackler's Revenge" will debut in the video game "Rock Band 2," while a portion of "If the World" is playing over the end credits in the new Leonardo DiCaprio/Russell Crowe film "Body of Lies."

In addition, GNR's seminal 1987 debut, "Appetite for Destruction," will be reissued on vinyl on Oct. 28 via Interscope.

The band's last new studio albums were the simultaneously released "Use Your Illusion I" and "II" in September 1991. A covers set, "The Spaghetti Incident?," followed in 1993, and featured some of the last GNR recordings from original guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan.

Does this mean CDs sold before Dec.1st won't count towards it's ranking?

I would assume that the band will make an announcement with in 24 hours.

I think that's not 3 albums but 1 Album plus DVD's maybe bonus tracks. Which is what we have heard. A documentary of the album or something lol

[Ak1nney]

Yeah I read set, hmm??

I'd wait until the ones releasing it actually say something.

But to Billboard's credit, they didn't jump on the "Nov 25th bandwagon" like a lot of other news sites.

Jarmo, I believe it is Azzofs people supplying the information to Billboard (official chart keeper). I believe (know) it is on the official release list now. I think all we need is a "FORMAL" announcement from the band. I know you maybe closer to some individuals, but I believe that is what is happening.

[Ak1nney]

For some reason I am very optimistic eventhough I wasn't before...

Oh man...

[Axl&Baz07]

i haven't been here in a long time, but i had to come back and share in the current anticipation!!

my fingers are crossed, along with all other GN'R fans!!! 

[russtcb]

I continue to try not to get over excited, but it's becoming increasingly hard not to.

One thing I do wanna point out though is that no one should get excited about the word "set" that Billboard used.

I have no info to say how many discs this is gonna be, but I just wanted to point out that they always use the word "set" when they refer to a forthcoming album whether it be 1 or several discs.
