[faldor]

i think it's not available yet at the iTunes Argentina.

Damn it, is there any other way for me to get the legal download?

fucking third world 

Do you guys have Napster?  You may want to try that

Yeah I just got my promitional download from Napster by pre-ordering from Best Buy.  Worked beautifully.  I'd fully recommend if you don't have/use iTunes.  First official "legal" music download I've purchased in YEARS.  And man does it feel good!

Are there official lyrics to the song available?  I didn't get any with the Napster download, just the artwork.

right. but I can't pre-order from Best Buy because that's only for americans. Is there any other way I can download the track using Napster, living in Argentina? I got the damn Mastercard here in my hand and I want to have BADLY the track.

oh, and by the way, I think Argentina is the only fucking country in the world that hasn't got a confirmed release date for the album...

I know it's probably been said already...but we have a GNR RSS feed now!?   I don't really even know what an RSS feed is, but I have it on my Google home page now! lmao  Only thing on there right now are George Chin pics, but this looks like more things are on the way!

Edit- I apologize if this were already known.  I don't pay attention to RSS feeds for the most part.  I couldn't do a search for it on the forum.....and I found it in an email Best Buy sent to me asking me to pre-order to get the single

Oh, well that I'm not sure.  Try it out, see if they let you download it.  You can do a free trial membership.  http://www.napster.com/index.html?darwin_ttl=1226375157&darwin=1008C

Good stuff - I'm surprised it's not placed in Germany though. I thought they'd be all over that shit. 

[bushkarocks!!]

[tim_m]

That's because you couldn't buy it on itunes Germany. At least it didn't work two days ago...dunno if it's possible today...

so except the 1-track radio promo cds (to find expensive on eBay) there is no official physical cd-single available yet, only quality compressed download stuff? well, not buying that, sorry! not too hard to release a single cd for such a huge brand name GN'R, come on!

Well of course not!

They release a song again. But it's not good enough.

This time it wasn't in a video game so you don't have to pay lots of Euros for a gaming system and game.


No, not good enough. It's not the right format.

yes, thats right. this download stuff is not the right format in terms of my quality interests of an official collector's items, thats why i've just asked if there is any single cd release (to come). i do buy every physical official cd single and albums from bands i like but never will agree on buying inferior quality mp3 stuff in 2008 when the cd standard allready is from the beginning of the 80s. and this song is not "just another song released somehow" like Shackler was, this is the first official released single of this kind of album which also is the title track and also under the still huge GN'R banner, so its not too questionable that some people would have expected a simple single-cd too.....well, radio got promotional cds aswell, huh? however it right now appears they decided to go the download-way only. whatever the reasons are for that, some fans will have to wait for the cd/lp for adding some physical release to their collections. yeah, blame on those fans who surely have a bigger official physical collection than you, Jarmo!

sorry, but your post is not the right format in terms of my quality interests... so should I moan against it like you do?

I'm glad you have a bigger collection than me. Congratulations!


I'm not really a collector. More of a music fan and listener.

So when a new song is available for purchase. I buy it if it's from a band I love and support.


I know that I will be able to hear it in all its high fidelity glory in a few weeks. I pre-ordered the vinyls (aren't you proud of me?) in addition to the CDs.

But until then, the iTunes digital single will do just fine and by making that purchase, I'm also supporting my favorite band. Which is becoming more and more important these days when sales are declining.


This is just a reflection from somebody who's seen more than one "release the album" or "release a new song" post over the years. So it's kinda ironic to see fans opting not to buy the song once it's available.

I can understand the quality concerns.

I wouldn't mind having the CD single either. Hell, if one is made available I'll buy it too.



But considering there's a new official GN'R single available for all of us to buy, it's pretty fucking exciting if you ask me. The format of the single comes in second hand.
