Just got back from the Bellingham WA Best Buy they had signs outside the store and everything !! I was the 2nd person in Bellingham to purchase Chinese Democracy. There was 2 people ahead of me, I did a instore pickup which was stupid on my part, cause they had alot of copies. My friend bought me a copy cause he said IT WOULD NEVER COME OUT
I also got a Vinyl too !

Very cool. I went to the Megatunes midnight sale in Calgary last night. There was about 20 people there and I got the packaging with the t-shirt. The shirt is actually pretty nice. They didn't have vinyl so i'll see if I can find it today or sometime in the future. The album is pretty damn good. Love the fact that there's sub bass on all the songs! haha.

There was no special promotion or anything regarding GN'R. No banners and no signs. Just a rack of cd's.

I saw a nice big Sandwich board style sign when I walked in and then in front of the CD section they had a display with the CDs and the LPs on them. I am gonna try and track down a Best Buy employee to see if I can score that sign !

Nothing special. Huge-ass fuckin' posters "THE WAIT IS OVER!!! Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy" hanging everywhere, the checkpoint dealy had CD promos, it was on the ticker of the tills and I had to search all over the place for the fuckin' cd and they didn't have the vinyl because it's not out until the 2nd in Canada, I guess. Also, no special with the Tshirt or anything and I went to HMV.
Besides myself, there was only one dude in a filthy Motley Crue hoodie buying the Guns CD.
The radio promoted the hell out of this album in town, I thought there would be something better for a launch.

There was about ten of us buying the album as soon as the doors opened. Big display as soon as you walked in. Nice signage too.
2 cds and a vinyl!

I was at Best Buy right at opening. The store was absolutely plastered with the album, stands and signs left and right, it was really surreal to see; people wearing grins on their faces, like an unspoken acknowledgment. I walked over, took my time choosing a copy, flipping the thing over back and forth. Motherfucking hell, Guns N' Roses' mythical album, right here in my hand. I think I was the second guy to purchase the album there.
Got outside smiling like an idiot, stood outside my car just kinda looking at the album in disbelief for a few minutes, and finally got in, got the shrink wrap off (got an amazing whiff of new album smell!), flipped through the liner notes, and finally popped it in, hand quivering: spent the next hour and quarter tank of gas on a very surreal drive painting my hometown, window down, volume up.
And that is how Chinese Democracy began.
Something that may never exist, and yet here we are.
My hands are still stiff from being glued to the steering wheel. It still hasn't quite registered that I have the album sitting in my lap right now. Eventually it will hit me, but it's still all a bit surreal right now. Hasn't really digested yet.
Hearing this thing on my car stereo proper was the devil's fucking balls.
And with that experience out of the way, I have only this to say to those who are not planning on experiencing this album:
"I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me"
Congratulations Axl.

I just barely found out it was coming out today. I just had an itch to visit heretodaygonetohell.com, lol. But, I'm gonna definitely try to visit a bestbuy during the week and see if there is still a copy available. Hopefully, there will be.
