Your perfect Chinese Democracy Box Set

[ben9785]

The album itself will be enough, though I couldn't say no to extras.

-Making of/backstage/documentary & live performances DVD
-A collectors booklet with a essay by Axl, photos, song lyrics etc
-Limited Edition tshirt

Any of those would be great.

The more I think about it...a live DVD would be better than a live CD.

Since all the leaks are such a part of the history/making of...for chidem...what they should do is package all the leaks onto a bonus disc.  That would be a very cool to see the progression of the songs.

[IKnowWhereIAM]

I'll be happy to get whatever Axl puts on the shelf...but a Live CD/DVD of 2006/2007 tour 'best' performances would be a great compliment.

[w.axl.rose]

[tp4ever84]

Maybe

Live DVD
Studio DVD

and maybe throw in chinese democracy but that may be too far fetched

[markreed]

Album on CD
2nd CD of alternate mixes/demos
DVD of interviews and the GNR story 94-08

Follow it up with

The box would be an old brown leather bound book, with ancient chinese artwork and symbols, inside it would open, and you would see the image of a dragon, with chinese symbols underneath for the actual release date, and "Chinese Democracy Starts Now" under that.

It would include 2 discs, 1 disc would be the album, and the second would be a mix of bonus tracks, live tracks, and demo ideas. It would also come with "Axl's Scrapbook", featuring photo's taken over the whole Chinese Democracy period, live and in the studio. Axl would also foreword the booklet with a personal statement about the album's process.

Also included would be 2 artwork post cards, and a sheet of stickers, and a card enabling us to download and view exclusive video's from a forthcoming documentary/live dvd!

[Christos AG]

Anything including that London acoustic show... 

[ericy210]

It would have:
- The CD
- A bottle of Night Train
- A lock of Axl's hair
- A picture of Buckethead unmasked
- The location of Osama Bin Laden

Anyone remember the backstage footage that we received last year, with Izzy there at donnigton just before gnr went on stage...

I would love to see that video in its entirety (Im hoping its a few hours)
that and some studio -behind the scenes footage would be superfuckingcool

If You're talkin' about that Jonathan Rach's documentary, yeah i like to see that, so no t-shirt for me please

[Thorned Rose]

I think that it would be very cool, and appropiate if they included more than just the cd. Hopefully they are smart, and include more than that.

This cd has been in the works since 1998 for sure, people like to say 15, 17 years, but you go back to 98, when the first real song came out, and when Matt left.

So 10 years, various changes, what we want

This is what I would LOVE to have.

-CD of course
-Thick booklet with pictures and a timeline of the making
-Making of video 30 minutes long at least!
-demo mix cd released
-live dvd of hammerstein with Izzy
-a discount coupon for the Greatest Hits so new fans will dig it

All of this for 50 bucks is a fair bargain I think.

Or just release the cd with a booklet. With all the history and confusion and chaos for this album, they should clarify who was on it, why it took so long, and the process of it. Even if we just get the cd, I'm happy.

It finally after all these years has a release date. I got into Gn'R in the summer of 00, and have been waiting for this album since 2001 really. Glad it's here.

[markreed]

since 2001? The past 7 years have been relatively easy considering the 7 years before that...

[Thorned Rose]

Ha, yeah well this album hasn't been really going on until around 97-98

I mean you can say He's been working on it since 9-18-91, but we both know that's bullshit

CD is only about 9-11 years old at best. Must be really hard for all your long time fans, since the 90s...

[Drew]

- Chinese Democracy cd
- Making of DVD & backstage film
- Re-recorded Appetite For Destruction
- Live performance DVD from 2001 - 2007

[C0ma]

I'd love to see the crowd interviews from Hammerstein. Proshot of the random one off semi-accoustic shows (Rosario Dawson's B-Day, etc...)
Any behind the scenes recording studio footage.

[HoldenCaulfield]

I really think there's a chance the album might be a 2-disc set, like RHCP's 'Stadium Arcadium', so include the album (1 or 2 discs, whichever), a DVD with the best of the Hammerstein shows, the re-recorded 'Appetite',  another DVD with a documentary, showing the evolution of the band, showing recording sessions, etc. and maybe a book or some collectible photos or something. Best Buy recently went all out with the relase of David Gilmour's 'Live in Gdansk' set, it's 3 cd's and 2 DVD's, including 5.1 mixes, and I think it comes with a ticket stub and a few other little cool things. Something like that would definitely show appreciation to us, IMO. It sells for $69.99 btw.
