Anyone here who won't spoil it for themselves?

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

I'm not going to listen to the album until i buy it on saturday and have the physical disc in my hand. I have waited for almost 8 years for that moment where i go to the record store, buy the disk and put it in my cd player and listen to it for the first time.

anyone here doing the same and not listening to any leaks or myspace stuff?

[Ines_rocks!]

You have the physical disc in your hands and you won't listen to it??? 

Is something wrong with you? 

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

no. i said i will have it on saturday and listen to it then, for the first time

[commissioner]

There are a few people here doing the same!  

For me, I couldn't wait    I am anxious to read the proper lyrics thou!!!

[Ines_rocks!]

no. i said i will have it on saturday and listen to it then, for the first time

lol im sorry... I read it faster than the brain processing... 

well... still, good luck with that!

I tried but I couldnt 

[estebanf]

no. i said i will have it on saturday and listen to it then, for the first time

count me in.

I know I can hear the tracks at the MySpace, I know I got ''other options'' to hear them, but I will not listen a damn second of the album until I got the physical disc in my hands.

But I wont have it no sunday, like you. I will have it next friday.

This is my personal via-crucis. I think i'm going to explode. But i'm not gonna spoil all these years of waiting by hearing the finished tracks for the first time at same compressed bitrate stream in my PC speakers.

These 7 days will be tougher than the 7 years I've spent waiting.

[mrarkadin]

That was my intention. Alas... it seemed too good to get a couple listens in before Sunday.

[RoCoKiN]

I'm itchin'like a freaking heroin addict to go over to GN'R's Myspace to hear it but I can't bring myself to do it.  It's all about the ritual of spending ten minutes getting the plastic off the cd, and then opening up, getting that new cd smell, and read the liner notes as it plays away.

[erose]

I'll admit that i listened to the 9 leaks when they came, but i stopped listening to them, like Nytunz did, when the official release date dropped.

I was extremely surprised and happy with how much better the quality of the sound was on the actual cd and i was also very surprised and happy with all the differences and upgrades from what really was just demos to the finished product.

The only thing about the whole record that I'm a tiny bit disappointed in is the fact that May is not featured in CITR. Other than that the thing is just so fat it's not even funny. It's like there's fuckin' tooth paste comming out of my speakers. The sound quality is incredible.

[Axl&Baz07]

me!! i thought i was alone in this!! i haven't heard a damn thing yet, and will not listen to any of the leaks or singles or anything until i have the CD in hand, on Sunday!

I have listend to some demos yes. But i will not listen to anything before i get the cd tomorrow! No Myspace..

[Loaded NightraiN]

I stayed away from NEW leaks, and myspace

Until today when I got the cd!!!!!

[Lady Livin]

My intention is to wait until I've bought it, but although I did cheat a tiny bit, at least the tracks I pressed were ones I'd already heard as leaks from the past. Willpower, people... I'm swallowing my own medicine. You can't get a first impression twice, after all.

[cotis]

I've only listened to Chinese Democracy on the radio and the single that I got, haven't listened to any leaks, demos, live stuff (anything GNR) for about 2 months now...since we got official word. It's going to be quite fun Sunday on the ride home from Best Buy and all day blaring Chinese Democracy

[Axl Z]

I'm not listening to anything past track 6, i think i've heard the rest of the tracks when i've seen them live. so basically i don't want to spoil the new tracks.. like was said before, i've waited too long to hear this than thru crappy laptop!!

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

I've heard all the demos aswell. Aswell as the Chinese Democracy and the Better single, The last one only once though. Buti have not listened to the rest of the finished products. I've stopped listening to all the demos since the release date was official.
I can't wait for saturday. Tomorrow will be tough

[neon2002]

I'm not listening to the last 3 songs (Scraped, This I Love & Sorry) until I get the physical copy of the CD. However I am listening to everything else on My Space as I've already heard the leaked demos.

Heh, this was exactly my plan. Until I saw a link to the Myspace page, and clicked it, and saw those song titles .... I am weak, lol. So I listened to 'Sorry' and half of "This I Love', along with the new version of 'Catcher in the Rye'. I did manage to avoid listening to 'Scraped'. Not a big deal though, I already want to hear them again, but I got my fix and now I'll wait until Sunday.

Good luck to anyone else who's still holding out!

[NEWportTimbo]

Sorry, I am listening all day at work.  The album has been put in a place for fans to hear it.  I dont think you are commiting a sin by listening to the album on their Myspace page.  In fact, I am helping them by adding about 1,000 plays per day!

 

However, on Sunday when the roomate and gfriend are gone (I am sooooo lucky!) I will play my physical CD all the way through and send some green smoke into the air!!!

[GnR-NOW]

I listened to it on myspace, but I will never listen to any future leaks of new songs
