HMV gets shipment of album titled "Blue Tree's and Greem Grass"

[Jackamo!]

Far Downs is a real band.

I own both albums: "Mountain Of Love Cake" & "Jogging Jesus, Green Goo".

They had a hit single called "Going, Going, Going (Gone)" a few years ago.

It is NOT Chinese Democracy.

From the following:

http://www.maineantiquedigest.com/articles...06/rago0606.htm

The Marblehead vase decorated with a crouching panther on a yellow ground with green grass and blue trees sold for $25,200 (est. $15,000/20,000) to a bidder in the salesroom.

Maybe it's a clue...but probably not.

[Guest Edward Rose]

Fair point I guess.

I've read a good chunk of this thread, but not all. Has anyone speculated why it might be spelled G-r-e-e-m, rather than G-r-e-e-n? And what could be the significance of blue tree's?

I've read that Paradise City thing - a few people mentioned this. I don't think it's that.

I guess MY only guess would be for someone to spell it correctly and then Google it. But that's based on my theory... which is base-less at this point.

I agree about P.City. I DID see soemthing about an anagram. And fwiw; I just figured out that "Far Downs : Blue Trees and Green Grass" (spelled correctly) DOES have all the letters of "Guns n' Roses"

Maybe he WANTS us to go all "DaVinci Code" on the info because of that movie coming out tomorrow.

My mind races, can't stop thinking about GN'R and CD...can't imagine it being released without knowing about it in advance, can't take it anymore. I need medication.

There's this website on the internet that outputs every combination of possible words from an anagram that you put into it. So if you want to know if this anagram says anything, go to that anagram decoder website.

Anagrams?? You people are freaks. It's just an album, if it happens it happens . Remove yourselves from the computer and return to reality.

I have to agree.

This thread has been entertaining - I'll give you all that.

I've tried to get a clarification from Merck's assistant on the rumor -- but haven't heard back. I'm assuming they're all at the show and likely not checking their messages.

[Irs Better Catcher in the Twat]

as stated perviously we need to get more info from hmv employees, i tried to figure out how to get in touch with people that work there and myspace came to mind. i found two groups for hmv employees, one was for canada and the other seems to be a general group for hmv employees, the latter one being an invite only private one. here's the link, maybe we can try and pry some info from someone http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseac...d=hmv+employees

The GN'R speculation machine has become so well oiled we can get a bit of info like this and turn into whatever the imagination can cook up. Brilliant.

Would also like to add this could be the biggest master stroke in music business history if it turns out to be true.

[mahimahi]

What happened to the original poster?? They need to come back and update us, or answer some of the questions in this thread

If he/she knows what's good for him/her, he/she would stay REAL far away because of the incomprehensible amount of attacks that would surely come his/her way. Which is probably why he/she hasn't been back since he/she made his/her post.

Anyway, thanks for the info dude/babe

HOLY SHIT! 20,000 reads in 7 hours. Is that a record Admin?

This is not immediately related to the topic starter, but someone in the last 10 minutes or so has been repeatedly posting some new topics relating to the album release, tracklists etc. I'm not usually one to post this kind of information, I did not obtain it myself personally, but compared to other rumours I've seen this seems at least to be detailed. He was a poster at HTGTH who I guess has been banned now because he might have been saying too much maybe.. normally posts like that are just locked or denied. I PMed him to ask where he got his info and what he had, and this was the response I got. I'm going to copy his PM word for word here. Take it as you will. i'll leave it for you to judge at its authenticity.

That's funny. I just posted a new thread theorizing an extra disk.

And if this person has that kind of detailed info, than this person is NOT an hmv employee and may have made up the story (which might still be true) just to pass on the info so we can fish for another hmv employee.

?

And where's IRS?

you mean this blue artwork for the extra cd ?

[Guest ben9785]

Look please just don't bash me about it. I swear to God I never have any interest in posting this kind of information but I posted it based on the fact that COMPARED TO OTHER RUMOURS/SPECULATIONS, it seemed a bit more different/detailed. Just want to share the information here.

It certainley sounds like it could be legitimate. That would be killer. -

No IRS on it. Interesting.

[GNRfan2008]

Some guy named "insideguns" at HTGTH posted two supposed pictures of the album artwork. One of the bonus CD:

This one comes up when you search Google for "Chinese Democracy," and it's obviously Photoshopped.

The other was the supposed COVER ART for the entire album:

This one comes up in Google when you search for "AC/DC Wing." It's pretty clear to me that it's a fake.

I like that tracklist. As long as CITR makes it I'll be happy. It's probably my favourite new song. I'd love to hear the final version.

Not sure about the extra disc. Don't get me wrong, all extras are cool, but it'll just be ten live songs? Sort of like a mini Live Era except for the new band? I think they could do better than this...like a DVD instead of a CD, with concert footage. Maybe the first video too. Or maybe a DVD of the making of Chinese Democracy.

What am I saying, the album's good enough!!

EDIT: Well, GNRfan2008 mentions no I.R.S. That would be pretty doubtful since it's been played by the band a lot over the summer/fall. Plus the song is pretty good, hard to see it not make the cut.

[kingzkounty911]

There is no band Far Downs. End of story. None of the CDs or the band name turned up on any internet search engine, so why would they have a "super shipment" of CDs showing up at HMV? Makes no sense. Hope everyone knows Jackamo is just joking.
