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

[kanga]

I just bought two copies, one for myself of course, but more importantly one for my son.  He has "appropriated" every one of my cds and Guns n' Roses T-Shirts over the years.  His last Christmas present to me was a set of Gn'R drinking glasses.  So, since he is a U.S. Marine serving in Iraq, I thought if I send his off to him tomorrow he might be one of the first serving over there to get the new CD.  He'll get a kick out of that.

just came back from best buy. Bought 4 LP's and 2 cds
my sister has the other cd

[SkeletorSerpent]

Sounds wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better on cd and on a good stereo system than the shitty Myspace stream on shitty speakers!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Shit!!! After listening to the CD quality on a good speaker system, it made the album about 100% better. Also, it sounded amazing driving around to the songs instead of hearing them with my nose buried in a computer screen. This shit was made to be played loud and in public.
Shackler's Revenge sounds much better, especially the drumming during the insane solo. It sounds so radio friendly and melodic, yet very dark and heavy. The tune has grown on me; it has an It's So Easy vibe with the catchiness of Sweet Child O Mine, I'm loving it and I really think it could be a hit. I think it could easily be the next single. Holy Shit, I have to go now and listen to the CD again and finish my beer.

When can we get some sales number for the Album?

[SlashRock]

Didn't know where to put this so move if appropiate.

Bought the CD today and wanted to put it onto my Windows Media Player library but I can't get the tracklist or any album info to come up. I had to write all the information in myself, including the album cover. Tried the 'Find Album Info..' control but nothing came up.

Anyone else encounter this problem?

[Frequent Flyer]

It's weird because when I put the album in my PS3 to get the music onto the hard drive, all the info was there. Album title, song names. Didn't have to search for the info or anything, seems like it was there on disc.

[Nighteyes]

Yep, I had to write the info myself too.

[thomas]

i use itunes to rip it all the info is there

[allwaystired]

Has anyone who pre-ordered not got their copy yet?!?!?


I haven't, and I'm pretty bloody annoyed. Not pre-ordering again, that's for sure. Anyone else having the same problem? ANOTHER DAY TO WAIT. 

[GNR_Green]

Got it this morning - GET IN!

I also pre-ordered, and thought that I'll wait patiently for Monday, since it didn't come on Friday. NOTHING!!! I'm really angry. I thought there would be benefits for pre-ordering! Never Again!!!!

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!

 

I still haven't been able to find a Vinyl copy. Has anyone in the Toronto Area been able to find a Vinyl copy yet?

Also Windows Media Player STILL doesn't recognize the CD - I wonder when Chinese Democracy will get added to the database?

 

[babydolls]

Vinyl delivered first thing this morning (I definately scared the postman..), bought cd from Woolworths (same very oldschool British chain i bought the Illusions at the day they came out), my best friend an GnR partner in crime came over and its been champagne and repeat all the way since...

TIred, drunk an emotional - congratulations Axl, Gn'R, really.... all i can say right now fellow gunners is

HMV told me that the vinyl isn't out until December 2nd in Canada.

[Dave_Rose]

Picked mine up today at HMV, it was weird thinking how close I was getting to the album and then after all these years having it finally in my hands :> good times with GN'R

Yeah Windows Media Player still hasn't updated their database...
 

[Ines_rocks!]

Damn finally, I have THE album!! After spending my weekend trying to persuade the music stores managers and ignorant employees to sell me the album earlier, I have finally bought it.
I went to the store at like 2pm, I tried to find it and it wasn't anywhere to be seen... no billboards, no ads.. nothing... I went to the most recent albums section.. nothing... Finally, I tried the hard rock section, searched for Guns N' Roses and there it was... ONE single copy of Chinese Democracy, just above the UYI 1... yes one copy you heard it right...
I just grabbed it with relief, searched the merch section  hastily and obviously no flags, no banners, no t-shirts pins whatsoever were to be seen...
As I left the store, the sun went away and it started raining like hell...I just thought "fuck that, I got the damn album!" and started laughing like an idiot  ).

Interesting, the only thing that they told me was that they didn't get their shipment.
