[RUMOUR] Chinese Democracy to be re-released on March 3rd?

[Manets]

When the CD was first posted in the BestBuy site, in the end of 2008, it had 3 covers. Maybe it's just a new cover, but I hope not.

@spirit i know i just mentioned that because if the cd is indeed a disc, the ogv lp doesn't mean much longer run time.

Do you know how much exactly?

maybe they haven't get the full details yet and just put the previous ones for now?

The thing is, the previous one doesn't have the tag.

maybe they haven't get the full details yet  but some of the details were given..

if you mean how long  wiki says for cdda Maximum playing time is 79.8 minutes

with a new world tour underway, interest in the band in terms of a worldwide audience growing - a re release with maybe a new cover, a few live tracks/covers is a great marketing idea

[TomFriend]

I've already got the vinyl, 2 cds, iTunes download and boxset, so unless there's bonus tracks/live material I'll be giving it a pass.

Fingers crossed....though I can't help but think we'd have heard about this before if we were going to get something new.

[superstarmc]

They could take a few bootlegs/demos and maybe some soundboards from Rock am Ring or Donnington for an extra cd.

re releasing.. maybe there is a bigger promo around it then?

Most likely Best Buy deal is up

As much as I'd love new covers and disco-remixes, I'd be willing to bet that the BB deal has run its course and now other major markets have it.

However, did someone mention that there is a release date in the UK for this too? That is the only thing that would raise suspicion (among other things).

[ppbebe]

perhaps off but didn't dexter say he'd always seen cd as a double album or something to this effect in the ?08 chats?

Yes he did, but I assumed he meant that their next studio album would be the second part, sort of.

Didn't he also mention something about Brain working on some remixes?

UK Amazon only has the March 2nd version listed as an import, so I think you're right - it's probably the Best Buy thing.

I want How Are You Grenade cover. I want the How Are You Grenade t-shirt too:

[GNR4L]

I hope they added the drum intro for Scraped ! that would be cool.  Didn't Axl say in one of his chat that he set up promo for future dates on purpose ?

[GUNNER]

Maybe without Rhiad 

[gnrjanus]

if they did rerecord parts wich I doubt.


Street of dreams, better, this I love have a real studio feel.
the live versions are way differend(okay street of dreams not so much but the live version Kicks ass over the studio) they should try to capture the real live versions of the songs.

?15.99 at UK amazon which is a bit pricey.............or is that the standard price for an import CD

That's usually what they charge for imports.

Do u think this might have to do with Riad? And they're probably just re-releasing it so they can put riad without the intro?? 

[Jeramy]

i thought i remembered reading somewhere that the best buy thing was only temporary

i think a new cover would be fitting... the bicycle one seemed a little boring to me

the music on chinese democracy is anything but boring

probably not - what's done is done (regarding the suit). Putting out a new copy isn't going to change things. This is just a good marketing plan (if it's true). Remember, the band released WTTJ a number of times after its initial release.

[Ashba Rocks]

I don't understand why they would re release it already if it was exactly the same as the one thats out. People who go to the shows surely know the albums out, surely people who go to the shows tell there friends about how awsome GNR are and tell them the albums out, i dont believe the whole "new intrest in GNR" thing, it was one of the most anticipated albums, especially in the rock world
