Randy Lahey Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Gould also declared that the record would be a Best Buy exclusive, and even previewed three of the album's tracks — this all according to a man who claims his nephew works for Best Buy and was present for the big reveal. Great. I definitely feel assured now. Well, here's to hoping it's true - but by no means banking on it.THGPersonally, I find it really disgusting that a news organization would use fan forums as the sole source for writing a story. It's people like this that give journalists a bad rep. If a journalist doesn't have an independent source - and preferably more than one - confirming this, they should not be writing a story.GNR forums are as good as it gets when it comes to GNR news. Did you read what MTV said today? They compared If The World to Nightrain and Dead Horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally find it hilarious that the fanbase (especially) continues believing in these dime store sources. "a man who claims his nephew works for Best Buy and was present for the big reveal"Hey guys, my best friend's sister's husband's father's grandchild's nephew's dog - barked in a way that sounded like an alternate version of Maddy. So, it leads me to believe that the dog's owner must be in possesion of unheard music that most of us don't have. Classic.THG Edited September 30, 2008 by The Holy Grail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I believe management purposely leaked the Best Buy cell phone recording to create some hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madison Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I cant believe people think this is all one big hoax.....Billboard.com reported that best buy is set....they are a very reliable site...But Billboard didn't say this was a done deal. Their exact words were .... "... Some details of the deal are still being worked out, including the release date."Translated - it means no deal has been signed and no release date has been set - yet.

This means, they're in talks to reach a deal - but no final agreement has been hammered out.And how many times have we heard that the band is "close" - a "hair's breadth away" according to Tommy and friends, etc. - to a release date before?

ThinkAboutYou Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 As I've said many many times - Please - everyone, don't get your hopes up until we've got a confirmation through an official press release. We've all been down this road many many times - and we've seen how roadblocks and unexpected events can totally derail plans. So let's just wait for an official statement before everyone starts counting Tuesdays again. As I said in an earlier post - it's better to have low expectations and be surprised than high expectations and be disappointed.I agree.Realistically, I'll be happy if iTunes releases an official Rock Band 2 and/or a Body of Lies soundtrack. At least we'd be getting some official studio quality tracks available for commercial download. We'll be getting this if we're lucky I think.I think it's confirmed that If The World isn't on the soundtrack just the closing credits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longpig Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I personally think Best Buy have got the deal, but they're still working out a release date.There was no point in BB working out a release strategy until they're guaranteed the album, so I think they're still working out the best way to release it and the management have suggested 25th November, but it's not all been fully worked out yet. I guess best buy have a LOT of the say if they're the ones releasing it.Hopefully we'll hear something soon.LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike from Sharkys Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Regarding the authenticity of the audio:I think if it were fake, Mysteron or at least someone official would have shot it down.

Some details of the deal are still being worked out, including the release date."IE, the deal is done but they are just finalizing a release date....Nowhere in that article do I get the opinion that its not a done deal.....just that they dont have everything set up yet....
