troccoli Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Only a day or two ago you couldn't find one of these on ebay or anywhere else on the internet. Now there's a bunch listed and the sellers are all in China and Hong Kong, the world capital for bootlegging stuff. Of course, that don't mean they ain't real. I do know this was officially released in Japan. Question is, are these copies real?:http://cgi.ebay.com/GUNS-N-ROSES-Chinese-D...1QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Guns-N-Roses-Chinese-D...1QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com/GUNS-N-ROSES-chinese-d...1QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com/GUNS-N-ROSES-chinese-d...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that was the first time I had seen one of those listed before now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinese Democracy ( original radio edit ) 3:42 2. Chinese Democracy 4:42 3.Blank 0:10 (<-what is this??)There was an official Japanese promo cd of Chinese Democracy put out with 3 tracks, the first one being an edit, the 2nd being the LP version, and a bizarre 3rd track with a ten second blip. It was on eil.com maybe a month or so ago and I think Fred picked it up. Damn you Fred! CDR doesn't mean shit - acetate promos are cdrs, but they are very real and official. Here's a just a few examples:http://www.troccolitm.com/CDBetterUSAce.html?1232082695263http://www.troccolitm.com/CDChiSingleUKAce...l?1232321600609http://www.troccolitm.com/cdohgodgerm.html?1201377789218http://www.troccolitm.com/CDOhGodUKPro.html?1223777445218All that being said, it could still be fake, you're right. But then again there are plenty of cool unofficial things out there. I paid a lot, but that's the chance I took.Yeah I thought that was weird when they were suddenly all listed in quick succession.Did you buy the one from a couple of weeks ago Troccoli? (that was the first time I had seen one of those listed before now).Yeah, that was me. Once again being burned - meaning I could have waited and purchased it cheaper apparently. So far it looks like buying the SOD promo cd was the only sound financial move I've made in a while. Although I did pick up the CIvil War France promo cd on ebay the other day for $10!
