How much would you pay for a new GnR album?


Recommended Posts

If Axl PMd you on here and said he had 15 songs ready to go for the next album which would be released in late 2015. But if you paid X amount of dollars he would let you have the songs tonight.

I'd pay $100 for a new GnR album without giving it a second though.

You?

Edit:

Album is scheduled to come out November 2015.

Is it guaranteed to come out in 2015, or is it kind of up in the air? Cause, I mean, if it's a guaranteed release in 2015, I'd just wait and pay whatever it cost when it hit the shelves. Now, if the date to could be postponed, I'd probably give something around the price you listed. Maybe a little higher.

I would pay the normal price, approx. £10-15, for a compact disc of new music when it comes out. I am sick of Axl's bullshit. I might have been with you if we were slap bang in the middle of 2002, Bucket was still in the band and we were all deluded enough to think Axl was some sort of mad genius busy working on techno-progressive masterpieces. But there is a chance that you will pay your $100 and end up with 10 Shackler's and Scrapeds and that is not a risk worth taking.

Regular amount. I'd hope it would be good enough to sell enough to cover costs. I'd pay more for extra tracks, demos, or cool stuff that the average person would pay for. I'm not paying an inordinate amount for 10 year old remixes.

I would pay more for atlas and thyme along with demos and a true narrative of behind the scenes development.

Something else that just came to mind. Who is playing on it? That would be a big factor, combined with if it's a guarantee to be released eventually. I mean, would it be the 2001-2002 lineup's versions of the songs, or would it be like Chinese Democracy where everyone who has been in the band since 2001 is featured on it in some way? Or would it be the songs rerecorded by this lineup? If it's the former and there's no guarantee for the release, I may consider shelling out around seventy to a hundred dollars. But if it was the other two and no guarantee? I'd tell him I'd pay sticker price at best.

If it was the last two and a guaranteed release date, I'd tell him thanks, but no thanks and just wait for it to be released. But if it was the first one and there was a guaranteed release? Well, I'd realize that I was dreaming, for something like this is far too good to be true. I would then wait until I woke up. I would then go to music news outlets in the hopes that something had been announced, and when I realize that it has not, I'd cry a little bit more, then come here and read topics such as this one, dreaming of what could have been.

Hmm. That got kinda sad. Anyways, short answer: Depends. Long answer: Nothing, because I don't have any damn money.

If it's guaranteed to come out in 2015, I'll pay zero dollars and hope the sucker who forked out the big cash leaks it. Then I'll download it for free when it's released and punch myself in the balls a few times when I realize it sucks just as much as CD.

If it's not guaranteed, I'll pay $200 without thinking twice, possibly as much as $500.
