new version of CD?

[sofine11]

Okay, I'll be the one to say it. Anyone else think this might just be volume 2, with 12-14 new songs? I know it's more than a stretch, but it could be something that was arranged to avoid leaks.

Either way, I'd buy it for the new cover alone and that anything more would be a really cool extra.

Not a chance.

But like you any little alteration like a cover or whatever will lead me to buy it, anything major like new songs..well that's dream isn't it.

Haha, I actually agree, just thought I'd throw my pipe-dream out there!

as much as i want it to be, i highly doubt it.

when would they have recorded it?

How could DJ learn all that shit in such a short time and then record it?

i guess its possible but its just not proboble. especially when you consider it took over a decade for the last record and that this alleged chinese democracy 2 would only have taken a little over a year. thats not likely. again i hope im wrong.

No one has ever said DJ would appear on the next album. Of course it's assumed, since Bumble went back in and added parts to CD, but all of that could have happened between the time DJ joined in March and the start of the tour.

That said, this definitely isn't a new album.

Can't someone call Bestbuy and ask what the difference between this album and the 2008 album is? Im in Australia so i can't call

Why the need for all the secrecy?

Can't Fernando just log on and tell us the deal?

I really hope (pipedream, I know) that Axl re-recorded vocals on some of these songs. Honestly, would it even take much. He could go in the studio, and in 2 or 3 takes blow most of CD's vocal performances out of the water.

What songs are you thinking?

[ThinkAboutYou]

I really am hoping for something extra with these releases

Hmm maybe the infamous better video?

There's been quite a few of these "TBA" CD versions A, B, C, etc. floating around on Amazon UK and other sites ever since CD came out, and all have come to nothing. Don't want to get hopes up too much. Would rather just wait for a new album tbh.

[Jakey Styley]

I might call tomorrow if I remember. They're closed now EST.

[gunsguy]

This is very interesting indeed cant wait!

[Jackie Moon]

i really want the fetus hand cover. i would love to get that on vinyl. getting a record player was the best idea i ever had.

[ITW 2012]

I don't think the record company would get behind this if the only difference was new covers. Atlas Shrugged Starts Now?

Patiently waiting for official announcement,ignoring all speculation :xmassrudolph:

Well, he could probably top all of them right now, but realistically I'd say IRS, Maddy, Catcher, and maybe Scraped.

[Towelie]

They might just be doing another pressing for all we know.

I won't get excited yet. Most re-issues are cheap cash-ins. Having said that, my wife bought the Lady Gaga one which I would say is a rare exception to the rule. Eight extra songs is practically a second album and it's well worth the money.

I would like to hear a non rasp version of Maddy, mainly because I got used to hearing the 02 live performance of it. Also a more rasp based IRS, I love the ones we have on the album but I'm curious to hear how some other vocal tracks turned out.

Another pipedream but if a bonus track on there is the Brian May Catcher I will jump for mothingfucking joy. Again I love the album version but a properly mastered Brian version would be great!

If this rumor were in any way Slash-related, it would have been addressed by now.

[Towelie]

Eight bonus songs will suffice.

Was that a pig I just saw flying past my window?

[dimitrisaxl]

If this is the CD with the correct lyrics and the artwork as Axl wanted to be, then we all that we have bought already CD must get it for free!!!

[realpoti]

Stop being delusional. They're not spending any money to erase Bucket or Robin parts. If they're going to do anything with these guys it will be new material. The Chinese-era is ready, if we'll see it will be with original guitars and drums.

[Conor]

Let's hope. That's all I've got to say, I'll believe it when I see it.

Hope for what? The bottom end albums of the Billboard 200 sell like 1,500-2,000 copies per week. ChiDem hasn't been on the charts in a year or so in the US. How many copies is a re-release with a new booklet/artwork gonna sell? There are maybe what,10,000 die-hards who will buy this again,just to have a complete collection.

You don't know for what he is hoping but you still replying in waht do you think he hopes!!! Hilarious!

With a real promotional push that could all change though.

There's no need to reply with "promotion...ha" post since I know how silly I sound

I couldn't give a fuck how many it sells. I hope that if something is re-released, that it's a little more than a carbon copy of the original. But sure, you know what I hope for anyway, right?

Wish is one hand,shit in the other,Brosef. If you wanna buy something that you already own that came out not even a year and a half ago,more power to ya. Geffen/Universal/Interscope/Whatever thanks you for you patronage.

Perhaps you should read my post above, before you assume what I'm talking about.
