    Rumored Album Release Dates

    in 2006

    Posted

    I just got back from best buy and guns n roses chinese democracy is indeed in their rss internal system.

    It still states november 25th as the release date which can change anytime to the 23rd or other depending on who is releasing something that day. the appetite for destruction is a limited edition import and will only be carried online and doesnt include any new or unreleased material

    I managed to find out there will be 3 cd versions and 3 lp versions most likely just differnt covers or bonus tracks

    all 3 cds have different sku #s 9111016 , #9111034, 9111052 with same price of $13.99

    i didnt get the lps sku #S because i wasnt able to write anything down or take a picture of the screen

    but there were 3 all with a $19.99 price point.

    What is the real difference between music on a CD versus music on an LP?

    So which is it $19.99 or $13.99

    cds are $13.99

    Lps are $19.99

    if it's 3 disc's then it would have been worth the 15 year wait......................... Maybe!

    Please clarify what you mean. Is it correct to assume that you mean there will be three different types of packages with the same content? For example three of the same but with different artwork on the cover? Or do you mean three seperate albums each with different content like Chinese Democracy 1, Chinese Democracy 2 and Chinese Democracy 3?

    Chinese Democracy will most likely debut at number one, but it'll quickly drop, and it won't have an outstanding debut. This is my opinion/forecast. I think most analysts would agree. Five years ago, or even back in 1999, I think it would have sold a million easy in its opening week. But times have changed. Most people who hate Axl and would have bought it out of curiosity will now just download it out of curiosity. I've spoken to many people who have actually said they will never buy the album because they don't want to support Axl. Many people really do hate him, and these are the people who will help hurt sales. Add on top that many people will download regardless, and that the name GN'R isn't as popular amongst young teens as Kanye West (who only sold around 400,000), and you are looking at maybe - maybe - a debut of around 200,000 copies. I'm expecting similar sales to The Smashing Pumpkins' Zeitgeist, which debuted somewhere around 280,000 copies and dropped something like 63% in its second week and quickly fell off the charts. Interest and curiosity die off quick, and thanks to the digital age - downloading, CD copying, etc. - as well as a decade + lapse in releases, GN'R just doesn't have a chance of being a huge seller IMO.

    At this point, I think Axl and the label know it, and I think that's part of the reason there have been holdups. They're trying to figure out how to approach this without losing all that money. And obviously, as you can see, they haven't reached a decision yet. But I'm sure that's not the *only* thing holding it back, either...

    Dude .....you are sadly.....oh so sadly mistaken. Chinese Democracy is not just an album...it's a project man......this thing is gonna get hyped and marketed and pushed like nothing else...just wait and see. Axl isn't going to put out shit...he can't afford to, and everyone involved from a creative and business position are well aware of this. People involved in this aren't going to see putting out shit unless there is 100% confidence in the material. This album is considered the "White Horse" to save Rock n' Roll music and bolster a lagging music industry....and not just this album either....the others as I've stated before too will create so much money for everyone involved it's not funny in the least. Axl has Universal right by the balls with this project. They need to see a well managed return on their investment on this project. $15MM for 3 albums worth of Solid Gold material is not a-lot of money with the right long term strategy in place. This album WILL SELL and WILL HAVE TIE INS, to other forms of marketing and licensing. They will make sure you know that GnR is back and that voice will be emblazoned into your subconscious because it will be everywhere. GUARANTEED!!!!

    Stones vs. Led Zep

    Stones-

    They're still putting out great music! If you don't think so Check out A Bigger Bang! They've established a fan base that ranges from ages 10 - 60 as indicated by there sold out tours. Zep, while a great band with a ridiculous catalogue of music is not doing shit except for maybe one show in London and a recycle of old "newly remastered music." Their music is phenominal but they're not marketed nearly as well as The Stones' are because they're not out their pushing and promoting in the same way. In terms of music and impact the Stones supercede Zep on a number of levels. Through new products and promotion they are a bigger attraction and therefore bring in more money. Musically, I think they edge out Zep because of they're longevity and mammoth, ever expanding catalogue of great (Completely subjective opinion here.) music.
