Gagarin Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I think some of ya'll got way too excited with the speculation.I was just hoping for the 'band approved' booklet from the chats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagarin Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 another fan opportunity with the album axl flushes down the toiletYou act like he was 100 percent personally involved with this, and he rubbed his hands together and laughed and said 'how can I really, really, really fuck over this guy on a messege board!'The CD HAD to be re-released as it was no longer a Best Buy exclusive. I'm sure he would have liked to have the alternate covers out there. But obviously, he wasn't able to wrestle control or leverage the situation BEFORE it was released to get those covers or even the right booklet out, so I imagine he's still up shit creek still about getting what he wants out of the record company. From their perspective Axl Rose probably doesn't mean squat, unfortunately for you and everyone else here, Axl can't just snap his fingers and get X,Y, and Z done.

Chris 55 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Bummer that it's nothing new.But happy days for Axl now that CD is free of best buy and their fucking bullshit promoYou're blaming Best Buy for no promo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I can't believe people are bummed out about artwork. Sure, it would've been cool to have had a handful of bonus tracks, but who really cares less about "approved" artwork?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Once this record is available to buy at 24-hour garages it's going to storm back up the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axljungle Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'll buy it if have a new and correct booklet, for me is important.But if is the same record, I won't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboflutter Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 I know alot of people are saying there will be nothing new on this. But i was thinking, if it's the same damn CD they have why would best buy be selling it at $13.99 when they have a couple of hundred thousand copies they can't sell at $11.99???...

eggers Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I can't see it being any different. If they had a US tour happening I could see a tour edition but they don't. Hell, it's GN'R. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a mistake and these retailers don't get it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bax Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 i'll buy it, but i need something.better package minimum.safe to say new tracks probably won't happen, but give me better art, i'll throw in for 1, possibly more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I hope they re-release it as a double album, and new artwork, correct lyrics or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) I think they should release it with the other half of the album. The Blues should be the Don't Cry of the Democracy's and it should be released in its 2002 form. Edited February 16, 2010 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyeast Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I would probably buy a re-release with a new booklet but honestly, after the first couple of days i would just file it away. I listen to CD on my ipod or computer and very rarely have the booklet in front of me so i dont really worry about 'correct' lyrics and artwork and the quality of the booklet.

ppruks Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 The CD version of the new release has been taken down on the Best Buy website, the Vinyl is still there, however the CD version is still present on the Amazon website, wonder what it means, if anything? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=BB70775825504B799B121C40AEC45858.bbolsp-app05-15?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=-2580346410472111393&id=pcat17071&type=page&st=chinese+democracy&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=15&sp=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
