Probably would have been better mentioning that you lot won 3IAR, died, ceased to exist in Scottish Football, formed a newco and then made the greatest jump to the top flight of Scottish Football, second only to Brooks Mileson's Gretna, throwing in all the accolades you won this season alone too - 55 league titles, Ryder Cup, Community Shield, Champions League, released AC/DC's PWR/UP etc etc. A never ending list. 2 hours ago, Mendez said: in my opinion sounds like they just put some samples on the snare and kick and compressed the actual stems in a more modern way (that effectively reduces dynamic range on purpose) And sounds like Slash recorded some new leads, bc his sound was way more saturated back then, but on the record sounds like his modern tone the "hoos" seem new Plus, Adler is adamant that it is definitely not him behind the kit. The man has his flaws, but he has always known his craft. Throw in Frank's refusal to answer the question by saying "that's a question for management". Very odd.

Popular Post t-p-d-a Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 Warning sad story! I bought Chinece Democracy as a healthy young boy. Today kidney failure and on dialysis for 7 years ^^. It was a hemolysis blood disease (genetically). Now i wait for a kidney donor (Eurotransplant) and a new album. Let's see what comes first. I'm fine, don't worry... I work part time as a Social Care Worker But It's crazy to think about. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when I'll be able to check. Out of them all, only one strikes me as possibly having a bar code. I don't think it's American though. I'll try to pull a photo tonight or tomorrow.

I can't recall whether my 7" has or not, but I don't think it does. I certainly got it for free with CD, which was the only way to get it, so I can't see why they'd put a barcode on it. I would check myself, but it's packed away with some other records at my parents house. Can't imagine my Dad would take enthusiastically to rooting through my old possessions looking for it to satisfy my curiosity!

So, essentially, no single was ever properly released- just promo copies to radio stations etc? That's mad - especially as at the time the market for physical copies of singles was still pretty active. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in typical GNR style it is the most half arsed attempt possible. No artwork, no b-side, so completely pointless. https://www.discogs.com/Guns-N-Roses-Chinese-Democracy/release/1913938 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparker123 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Since Chinese Democracy came out Oasis split up and the Gallaghers have released 7 albums, which is the same amount as Oasis released from 1994 to 2008. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAU3R Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Since CD came out, German football club RB Leipzig was founded, promoted from the 5th division all the way up to the Bundesliga, qualified for the Champions League 3 times and played one Champions League semifinal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year, in the same time since GNR last released a song, Oasis released their entire studio recorded output of 26 singles, over 50 b-sides, 7 studio albums, and numerous live albums, DVDs and compilations, then split up the following year. That is absolutely astonishing really. If that doesn't highlight the wasted GNR time, nothing will. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, one is American, one UK (they look similar), the coolest one is Japanese, uses the 2006 logo, which is my fav, and another is German if I remember correctly, with a purple/red/maroon sleeve. The latter is the only one that could have a barcode. The American singles for sure don't. They are just simple CDs with empty, clear cases. The British ones are similar, but they have CD case covers at least, though basic. Edited March 23, 2021 by Sweersa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Obviously most of you have little appreciation for the strategic vision of pivoting away from music and towards KISS level of merchandising... And why are we discounting the Axl line of signature watches? Did you all not spend the $120k on Axl's newest offering? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
