Looks like it really is the 23rd after all! I figured it was but its nice for Best Buy to finally confirm what we had heard.

Damn, already #1 on the preorder?

This album is going to combust on all the non-believers and critics

yes, finally corrected on bestbuy site and also added pic of Axl (sorry if it was mentioned before):

but they still have the old cover (without logo as seen on www.gnronline.com)

I'm still wondering if/when Best Buy is going to contact all of us who still have a pre-order for Cover B?

[russtcb]

Just contacted them about my shipping charges (which they removed from my order!) and Cover B. They don't have any info on Cover B yet.

I still think it was a mistake like Cover C was.

Awesome picture. Most sites seem intent on either: (A) posting a glammed up picture of Axl from 1987; or (B) some completely unflattering as possible picture from the 2001-02 tour. Best Buy got this one right. He looks kick ass.

Free shipping! Now thats sweet! I pre-ordered too, so thats a big savings for me. I am still standing in line though. I will have one copy for the collection and one to play.

I'm still standing inline as well, but I think I'm gonna pre-order another vinyl copy. 1 to open and check out, 1 to leave sealed and frame.

I just realised the CD count down is in local time. In 15 minutes it will be 27 days until its out

Damn, already #1 on the preorder?

And the vinyl is now #4.

I know when I go get my pre order, I'm also going to pick up another copy.  I can't wait to see the numbers climb

Here is an email I received from Best Buy when I asked about midnight release:

Best Buy Consumer Relations to me

Jacinto,

Thank you for inquiring about the new Guns N' Roses CD coming out.  We expect this to be a big hit as it's been such a long time since their last release.  At this time I'm not aware that there will be a midnight release of their new CD, Chinese Democracy, but I surely will make note that this is something it seems that many of our customers are interested in!  I hope this is something that we can look into.
If you have any further questions, please let me know!


Best Wishes,
Jamie and the Consumer Relations Team


I hope they do it!

Same here, Midnight release would be awesome !!!

[GnR-NOW]

Does anything think that there will a continuation between the tracks, or will songs stop and start ?  I was just thinking about it.

On the 23rd I will be flying on a plane for 5 hours from Vancouver Washington to Boston starting at 6am. So a midnight release would be perfect so that I could listen to CD the entire way uninterupted. However if there is no midnight release, I will rip my hair out the entire flight and choke myself on the single serving pretzles on purpose.

Don't choke yourself to death.  You'll never get to hear CD.  Is there a layover?  Maybe you can sneak out and get to a Best Buy.  I don't know much about iTunes, if it's gonna be sold through them, could you go that route while in the air?

[uzisuicide2002]

i don't think there is a midnight thing going on. You'll just have to be there when they open

I remember hearing that Richard Fortus was recording interludes between songs a few years ago.
