Alternative CD Cover found in Store in Germany

I don't put a lot of stock into that "GNR News" twitter account.

Whatever it is, GNR don't want to claim it.  Lets get back to harassing them about new music, not that its worked in the past, but that's where everyone's focus should be.  It's a rock band right?

Really? Cool.

Sort of irrelevant though given it?s a GN?R tweet in question.

....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm dumb. Thanks for the heads up. I just went to look at GN'Rs tweets online and saw what you're talking about. I get it now.

I wonder if the plan all along was to release a re-issue with new cover art ,etc. Or if not, was the artwork we got on CD, a "quick solution" and was the only artwork available at the time of release, even though Axl wanted these?.

I was just thinking, all of these new alternate covers are what I actually imagined the booklet to have looked like before the release.

I think that was "A" plan at one time.  Who knows if the band and record company were ever on the same page on any front though.  It sure doesn't seem like it.

If you promise to cut your arm off, I will get you one.

As far as I know, that's not something official. A bootleg in other words.

That's just the special edition they were selling with the release. much too expensive for some buckle and shit

[Is he struggling?]

Hmmm. While I enjoyed reading 'Axl's' little essay on China, I'm sort of glad that it didn't make it into the CD booklet that was released. It would have given people the idea this was a really 'political' album when, as a whole, it really isn't.

[Halo69]

I don't think they're fake or a bootleg at all... too much coincidence... and it certainly doesn't look like a bootleg.

Second of all it's pretty damn a coincidence everyone starting to actually getting this cds in the same period of time.

So here's my opinion... and i'm sure a lot of you will say that's not possible and i'm sure no one will actually think I'm making sense, but here it goes anyways...

I think the people that have been selling this on ebay or say they found it in the store, are actually people that were offered this cd's by the band/camp themselves, and now they're just making a buck or two with it or showing it off on websites, because i believe from what i could gather this covers releases are coming out really really soon!

The band's answer is the typical answer of a band suggesting you to buy the album with the covers when it actually comes out OTHER then buying the album from this other people who are trying to make a quick buck or simply just showing it on the boards.

I know for a fact that there were a couple of guys that got the cds with this covers from the camp, cause they knew a member or certain people in the camp. This actually happened back in 2008.

With CD alternative covers coming out to the stores real soon, they're just trying to show it off or make a quick buck before it's officially released...

That is my 2 cents.

We will all be able to buy them soon in our local stores, just be patient. And they will cost a miserable amount of 15 euros or 12 dollars or so.

Hope you're right I'll be one of those suckers paying for it

I would buy loads of copies of the album if it was re-released... because I would know in my heart that this was the version that Axl wanted, compared to the art that was released. Regardless of the album art though, this album is no doubt the best album ever in my book, so another excuse to purchase CD is very much welcomed.

Also I want to add that I work at Birmingham Airport at World Duty Free, and I usually have a few hours spare to start my shift. So every night I listen to CD all the way through, and I can't believe all of the noises and sounds that are hidden under the overall layers. It's definitely worth listening to CD multiple times, because you will be surprised at what you discover!!!!!.

I agree, playing around with equaliser setting then play CD on the hifi often yields a surprise or two each time I hear CD

Im pretty sure we will have it in stores soon

Im pretty sure we will have it in stores soon

Why?

I?m pretty sure GN?R will be the first band to perform on Jupiter.

Considering your statement has no supporting evidence either how is mine any less valid?

Sorry, but that's awesome. I was thinking something similar when I read that post then I scrolled down and saw your reply.
