I JUST BOUGHT CHINESE DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Groovie In VT]

I bought the first two copies in the state of Vermont!! I know this cuz we only have one Best Buy and I was first in line and bought two!  There were like 4 other guys waiting including one poor guy that came by taxi and I offered him a ride home so he ended up buying a Vinyl copy as well as the CD with his taxi money he saved!  This feels sooooooo good!

I didn't think this day would ever come, but I now own Chinese Democracy!!! Now I'm going to sit back and just listen to the finished product. still can't believe this album seen the light of day.

I'm heading to best buy in an hour, I hope they still have it in stock.  I was at a party over my brother in law's house last nite and I was actually surprised how many people knew about CD coming out today that aren't really big GNR fans. Good sign. They knew about the free  Dr Pepper also.

I just got back from Best Buy this morning with my copy of Chinese Democracy. It was only about a five minute drive from my apartment so I didn't have to drive as far as some of you do/did. 

I didn't listen to the album last week on MySpace cause I wanted to listen to it fresh off my cd. I'll give it a few listens and let the songs digest before I post my review in the appropriate thread.

Just got back from best buy with my 2 Vinyl copies and 3 CD copies.  Oh baby! 

[King Axl]

I picked up mine at 9AM sharp. Best Buy managed to fuck up my preorder, though. They claim that preorders get cancelled after seven days, so they didn't have my copies set aside already. So I just grabbed three CD's and a vinyl from the display. Fucking idiots.

It's awesome being able to hear the final product. Long time coming.

I'll never use BB preorder again, they make you feel like a piece of shit.

Woke up at 9 am, had some breakfast, showered, and was all prepared to arrive at Best Buy at 9:55, to be the first kid on my block to own an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle Chinese Democracy.  Who the fuck knew they'd open at 9:00 on a Sunday?   

Oh, well.  At least the kid who cashed me out asked if I was also getting a free Dr. Pepper.

an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle Chinese Democracy. 

Love the ' christmas story reference', that is too funny!!!

[neon2002]

I picked mine up @ 12:01AM at the HMV Superstore in downtown Toronto. I got the Fanpack (CD & T-Shirt) & a CD. There Vinyl order never arrived
I'll have to try to get the Vinyl when I go to the mall tomorrow.

I listened to it in my Jeep on my 9 Speaker Boston Acoustics sound system - sounds great!

 

Hopefully I can find a Vinyl copy today (not that I can even listen to it) for a collectors item.

When I play CD in my Windows Media Player it isn't recognized. I wonder when they're going to update their files so that the picture and track listing come up in Windows Media Player?

 

[BKinNYC]

Was there at 9AM sharp - bought 2 CD's, and 2 vinyl - which was 20% of their stock, since they only had 10 on the display!  Yeah!!!

Scotland has Chinese Democracy!! 

Actually the whisky in the bottle is a recently bought malt, Highland Park 18 years. The Crown Royal deluxe bottle is actually about 40 years old, from when my parents stayed in Canada. My mums brothers immagrated there and started familes years ago, my parents moved over for 5 years when they were a young couple, I think that bottle was bought when they left.

I always knew I would have to have a wee dram for this occasion  

Nice.  I have a bottle of Highland Park (just the normal 10 12 year) at home at the moment.  A good break from the overpowering Islay malts.  You should join us in the sporadic but always fun whisky thread.

Getting ready to head out to my Best Buy


This is so surreal. I literally feel like i am 8 years old again and waiting on my parents to get up so I can open presents.


The leaks and the Myspace stream have done absolutely NOTHING to take away any of the excitement. I am going to get CD, come home, Take a pic with it, take it into my workout room. Put it on and run the entire time while listening.

Its gonna be the greatest 8 miles I've ever ran!

Very TRUE

Had mine delivered last night from Best Buy. Couldn't stop listening to it, sounds amazing.

[freedom78]

Syncing the iPod, so that my Democracy is fully portable.

Damn it, I gotta get off this fucking website so i can go buy it.

[volcano62]

got two copies. 1 copy from HMV with the t-shirt and the other from best buy with 2 coasters.

[JustWckd]
