Would be a great treat to the fans and members of this board (ah, what the hell...mygnr.com too) if the band allowed for a midnight streaming listening party to be held here on HTGTH the night before CDs release.

Any chance of this happening, Jarmo?

I'd be in.  Even if they charged us a couple bucks (or if jarmo needed to charge a few bucks to off set costs on bandwidth for it).

Why...you mean to tell me that if someone copied the stream that you'd download THAT as your 'listening copy' of CD? The stream will certainly not be anywhere near as accurate/true as the CD/vinyl themselves.

it's not just the bandwidth... unless over the years Jarmo's relationship with Axl and crew has gotten to be ironclad... the band needs to authorize it. That ain't gonna happen. I would love to see it. HTGTH is one of the reasons so many people kept the faith/loyalty going. Once again... Jarmo is the fucking man.  peace

Obviously.  But we've seen that jarmo is relatively KNOWN to management.  They did the hammerstein pre-show through him, mostly.  I don't think a listening party would be much harder to manage....it's essentially the same thing (password distribution) if done right.

I'm not saying it'll happen...but it's not an awful, unworkable, idea, either.

I think it's a great idea and don't see any big deal streaming it a few hours before release. Everyone on this site is going to buy copies (probably multiple copies actually) so no loss in sales or anything and it would be a great grass-roots promotion thing for the die hards to sink their teeth into as a kind of reward for sticking by all these years.

I just figured if so many of us stayed up countless hours on this site simply for updates on live shows that were in other parts of the world...why not celebrate the release of the album all at once.

Of course, we'd have to prep empty threads for each song and we'd need to restrain ourselves from posting until each and every song (in album order) is played.

Take the idea a step further...local members of HTGTH could meet up at designated areas (much like we did before the '06 shows...Mustang Harry's, ect.) and participate in the online stream together.

IDK...just running off at the mouth now. Too excited to make much sense right now  hihi

a listening party would be cool, but i think id rather have it in my hands and just crank it from the cd and not from a stream.

We have to do something to commemorate waiting together. This is a great idea but maybe we can hold it on a Saturday one week after? I know that would be after the CD release but we need to do something as a group especially a group that has waited for so long. God - I can't believe it's finally here!

Any other ideas of ways to celebrate with the whole HTGTH audience?

I am looking forward to the ultimate listening party at the next pre-show gathering.  I've met some amazing fans here at HTGTH and at the '06 shows.  I'm looking forward to meeting everybody in '09!  The album is going to be amazing!!!

I was thinking we could do this for a bit of fun:

25.10.08 - Appetite/Lies Day
1.11.08 - Illusion Day
8.11.08 - Spaghetti Day + Sympathy For The Devil
15.11.08 - Live Era Day
22.11.08 - Oh My God

Rules: Your only allowed too listen to the album or song on the day that been listed:
Example
1.11.08: is Illusion Day, therefore you can only listen to Use Your Illusion 1 or 2 etc

Sign if you want to take part  Smiley

 peace

It would be nice if we could all hear this together. We've waited together, after all.
