sonic-jam Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) not sure, it got edited before i got to it. but apparently he hinted that something would happen soon (according to randy anyway) Edited October 9, 2008 by sonic-jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) This whole 11/23 WOULD be a great idea if it proves to be true...Also, I've been thinking about the fact that there's been no official announcement yet. At first I was concerned, but now I wonder if the band is cashing in on the whole mysticism and rumor based history surrounding this album, and may in fact be keeping it that way, as long as they can, up until the day of the release, just to build as much hype as possible around the album. (Hey, it's worked so far.) Then...BOOM, it's released and making headlines everywhere. It would also be a great way to keep potential "hoarders" from leaking tracks upon what they believe to be a potential imminent release. Just a thought.

mahimahi Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 From Hits Daily Double:GUNNING FOR TURKEY DAY: Guns N’ Roses’ long-awaited Chinese Democracy album on Geffen/ Interscope finally has a release date. The album will hit all Best Buy stores, where it is an exclusive, on the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving, Nov. 23, giving it a full seven days on sale before entering the chart on Dec. 2. Best Buy’s sales week runs from Sunday through Saturday night. (10/8p)http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/Would be smart if true. We'll see!Isn't Hits Daily Double a pretty reliable source? I know its under "rumor mill", but it seems that they have been right about a lot of things in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesty Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 This actually makes a ton of sense. I mentioned a few days ago that an exclusive deal would allow them to release it on any day of the week.Having it drop the day the circular comes out (on Sunday) would create huge buzz for them, and gives them a running start into the big holiday shopping season.This looks legit!Chinese Democracy starts now!(1st time I've said it).

mjtoomey Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I think it's too well developed to be fake. We already saw the info about the Best Buy exclusive go from pure rumor, hopeful speculation, to being confirmed. I have a feeling we'll see a stronger source report this today...Rolling Stone, Billboard.Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take this as confirmation, NOT rumor.Does CD need the gimmicky release date to ensure a top spot? Why does it matter that it makes #1 on the billboard anyway? Did Axl threaten to kill himself if it didn't?**I posted this thread because Blabbermouth saying this IS news. If any OFFICIAL confirmation, such as gnr.com, Best Buy etc comes around today, I'll update.** Edited October 9, 2008 by illfigja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMonk Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 This isn't a fucking official source, change the title man.

Blabbermouth might have pasted the story, or contacted Hits Daily Double to confirm. Regardless, I'm suspecting by the end of the day this will clear itself up.

They are not reporting that CD has a release date, they are reporting to HITS saying that CD has a release date:According to Hits Daily Double, the companion web site of music industry tip sheet HITS, GUNS N' ROSES' long-awaited new album, "Chinese Democracy" (Geffen/Interscope) finally has a release date.So, if this doesn't pan out, blabbermouth hasnt put anything on the block. They didnt say that the album is coming, they just said that somebody else said that the album is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droezle Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Go to your local recordstore and ask them when the release is of Chinese Democracy. Don't get surprised when they don't have a date. No date, no release. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
