Rumored Album Release Dates

[SunnyDRE]

Having the UPCs helps a LOT as that's' what we'll use to pull detailed info as soon as its in a retailers database (like I said, I'd expect that to happen pretty soon).

Best Buy's SKUs are great for Best Buy research.. the UPCs open up the research to, well, every damn retailer who'd carry the disc(s).

thanks for the compliment, btw - I'm just goofing off sitting across from my girlfriend and cackling, a lot, at the newest U.S. election poll results, so yeah, we're just bored and poking around I'd say a bunch more info will flow in the next few days is my guess.

-darknemus

No offense......but I think you are full of shit.

Every thing you have supposedly done.....I have tried and got different results.

Shit, my sister-in-law works at works at Wal-Mart (I know it isn't Best Buy) and she says there is no way a UPC is out for this cd yet.......

[amacfantasy]

I understand your skepticism - smart move, you are, after all, a GNR fan. I'm sure several of us will call BBs tomorrow and get independent confirmation or denial of the 'Vinyl SKUs'.

I'm a hell of a lot more interested in just what the differences are between 'version 1' 'version 2' and 'version 3' - thats what I'm hyped about

-darknemus

yea i agree all i wana know is what is the difference between them, the anticipation........

Umm, go to the website I linked in this thread.

http://www.upcdatabase.com

On the left side of the screen, click 'Look Up'

Paste the following UPC: 602517906075

Notice nothing is found - then click the 'Click here to see if there are any other items on file with the same prefix. ' button. You'll find a list of CDs with the same six digit prefix (the manufacturer's code)

Go look up the record label for some of those acts.

That's what I just did. Try it and see what results YOU get. Then come back and call me a liar again - kthnxbye!

I'm not calling you a liar, but it would have been very easy for anyone to look up the common prefixes of Geffen albums - as you just did on that website - and fake them.

I do think this is real, but we can't use this as absolute evidence. I mean, just last week we had someone go to extreme lengths to prove he had a full album of unreleased material (that Hullabaloo thing) and he spent a lot more time trying to convince people than it would take for someone to lookup a few Geffen albums on that website and forge a UPC.

Call Best Buy tomorrow and get the UPCs yourself. I should have all six of them (with print screens, yes) tomorrow if a friend of mine with a good Best Buy contact comes through for me. No promises - but we set the 'wheels in motion' for such earlier this evening.

Even with the UPCs they're not going to help much until the databases are updated with more product info, anyway - so its not a huge deal, regardless. I'm just very curious as to what the hell 'version 1' 'version 2' and 'version 3' are - and I believe three or four people have, independently in this thread, mentioned those names as provided by Best Buy - UPCs or not.

Come on guys, Dark is not a bullshitter/noob.He is obviously a true Gunner like us.I appreciate his efforts to get us info.I wonder who will announce the tracklisting, GNR or a fan?I am goin with the fan.

Hes not full of shit. Go into a store ask someone in media to check the rss system for one of the sku #s listed say you want to see how many are on order to determine if you should get there early on release day to make sure you get a copy.The upcs do exist. they exist on a internal system for best buy called the rss. You will not find them on the website or if an employee does a stock check on the normal system. I was only able to remember three of the sku #s which are seven digits each.I was not allowed to write down or take a picture of the screen. The screen shows employee login information. But i saw upcs and sku #s for all six versions 3 compact discs and 3 lps.

Dude, how long have you been on here? And you are calling someone out on their info?Anyway, Dark, how soon can this info lead us to a tracklisting,cover art etc.?

This is just going to be another 2006. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't say I didn't warn you all either.

[darknemus]

Impossible to say - wouldn't shock me AT ALL though if we get the info through third party sources before we do the GNR camp, though. As much as I'd love to see a 'proper' press release, this is Guns we're talking about and normal isn't exactly in their repertoire

I'm hoping early-mid next week but that's just rampant speculation on my part.

dark has been full of shit in the past and if memory serves me correctly, and i'm pretty sure it does, darknemus is the same guy that collected money and blank dvd's from a bunch of guns fans in 2006 for those hammerstein bootleg dvd's and then never sent out the dvd's. he disappeared for quite some time after that.

dark likes to try to be mr mygnrforum hero, but usually fails. even if he's actually telling the truth on this, he's still a sack of shit as far as i'm concerned.

Actually, tool - as I've explained MANY times in the past. My Ex was the one who f'ed up the whole Hammerstein DVD thing and I have also, numerous times, offered anyone who didn't get their discs their cash back and then some. Its one of the MANY reasons she's my ex. She kept crappy records so I had no clue who got their discs and who didn't - I apologized profusely for it many times and, like I said, have refunded people their money and then some. Do you REALLY think that the 200 bucks or so I collected in total was a big deal to me? Trust me, it wasn't. Hell, I can burn through that much on a trip to the bookstore. So - maybe next time you'll actually ASK me what its all about rather than jumping to conclusions? As far as your 'disappeared for a long time after that' - my job took me out of state for a while and the project I was working on didn't have Internet access available to me (DR hot site for a large bank.. they kind of frown on open net access) - since I was working 16-18 hour days my net surfing from the hotel was pretty damn limited. Next time, instead of jumping to conclusions, why don't you just ASK ME and I'll be glad to tell you. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

[TiedHands]

Wow. Everyone should really back away right about now. We've had some dumb fuckin' arguments on here before, but I've never seen anyone cuss and fuss and fight over if barcode/upc's are real or if a SKU # has the numbers reversed. I'm glad I don't work at Best Buy

typical dark. always full of excuses and it's never his fault.

[mack10]

Guys where is the love. At the end of the day we love gnr, we share symbiotic relationship with one another for the cause of a greater good in music. We all are striving to listen to one of the greatest spectacles that the world of music has to offer. Lets not take root in evil plots to kill dark, he is our friend and we should all love and support our friends, yeah so he screwed up something, it was his damn ole lady, you know that old chestnut. So lets just bite the bullet and let love a peace regain in our minds. We all are intelligent human beings on this board with rapist wits and incredible dialogues that are breached over oceans and volcanoes and snow capped peaks, we our the becons that will proclaim on high the mighty red headed sun God, that will take his throne as king of the music landscape, and we will forever be worshipping him together in unity, so lets give peace a chance because well I dont think we have ever tried. MYGNR LOVE

[darknemus]

Tell you what - instead of bitching about me (when this is so NOT about me) why don't YOU try to be helpful to the GNR community and go talk a hoarder out of a track or two.. or maybe do some research on different SKUs / UPCs and share the info.. or maybe you can go crawl underneath a production studio's console desk so that you can leak a radio rip of IRS. You know, be semi-useful? I've proven myself time and time again and have sought no credit, no kudos, no really anything. I do it because its fun and I enjoy it. My life is far too busy and complex to devote the time to this that I used to but yes, when I can help, I will - as that's what fans do. We're supposed to bond together, common good, all that fun stuff.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go crash with my girl - lets hope tomorrow brings more information of a good nature. If not, oh well.

Ciao.

I respect darknemus, he's always tried providing the GNR community with any news he can, and he's always been pretty damn reliable. I've never understood why we bash each other here? We're all fuckin' GNR fans.

[Estranged Reality]

.. or maybe you can go crawl underneath a production studio's console desk so that you can leak a radio rip of IRS.

I received quite a different story of how that all played out - from someone who works directly with one of the current bandmembers of GN'R. I'm not trying to start a fight or have a go at you, but I have to be honest in saying that I'd take the word of a bandmember's employee over yours, especially since he gave me evidence. No offense intended, however, and like I said, I'm not trying to have a go at you... I just don't think I can take your word over his.

Back on topic, it's clear darknemus is not lying about the UPCs. You can type them in and see for yourself on the website he linked to. But just because the prefixes match Geffen albums doesn't necessarily mean it's legit... we'll have to wait and see. I do think we're very close, though.

If you want to have a go at darknemus, send him private messages, right? Don't litter the main forum with rants. Let's all be civilized here. (Or try to, by relative standards. )

Wow. Now I'm starting to doubt darknemus' info, and here I thought he was a legit good guy. If you're a real fan, why would you EVER try to make money from other fans. I'm a newbie, but I gotta call bullshit now on you now, too. WTF, man?
