Binge_And_Slash Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 As far as I'm aware, the leaks are mainly debuting on here.Could this be giving MyGnR a bad rep from the Guns camp point of view?I mean, Merck knows what Madison does on this forum, could this prevent us getting the information that he gives? Axl obviously would get pissed over this, althought a majority of members here will still buy singles/CD regardless, a minority will not, they'll download. And although the moderators and admins are doing their best to cease mention of the leaks and the links, some are still getting through, the damage is being done, this is surely not a good thing for the Guns camp.Just something to think over.

Crackers Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yea i agree. I understand the frustration of eric and madison about how things are turning against guns and against the aims of this brilliant forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTHAFA Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 WRONG..This is going to end up making MyGNR one of the most popular and infamous forums on the entire 'net as far as music goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMonk Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 The only thing we can do is not download it, every guns fan should buy the fuckin albums and singles and not download them! this place is overrun with 'noobs' just wanting the new songs and then pissing off.....im not saying that im not a noob, but i think the only way to stop it spreading more on this place....is to stop any new members for a few days, maybe even a week or two (if that can even be done) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBrownstonex Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 it was leaked on htgth first though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madison Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 The latest leak was not posted here!!!!!We notified Merck as soon as the first two tracks leaked and removed them as soon as he asked us to. And we have not permitted any leaked tracks to be posted here since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiDem Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 First of all there's nothing they can do to the forum anyways.Next who gives a shit what Merck thinks of the forum? He doesn't post here.Third, do you realize how many people joined MyGN'R because of the leaks here? It's only adding to it's popularity and it's members."Any publicity is good publicity."

The Milkman Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I thikn everyone will buy the singles n albums, but those aren\'t out yet, and we don\'t want to wait, so we download the tracks first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busngabb Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 The band has never shown any particular interest in the fans anyway, so I can't see what difference it would make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binge_And_Slash Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 The latest leak was not posted here!!!!!We notified Merck as soon as the first two tracks leaked and removed them as soon as he asked us to. And we have not permitted any leaked tracks to be posted here since.Like I said they are mainly debuting, not all of them.And althought you and eric are trying your best to prevent leaks, some links are still creeping through (albeit they are taken down later)I'm not against this forum in anyway, otherwise I wouldn't be a supporter, but I'm just saying with the leaks coming and going, this could make MyGnR (among other forums that also share leaks) come across in a bad light.

MetaSouL Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 The leaks were intentional. Axl spoke of 2 of the very songs that were leaked, all within about a week's time. This only promotes the sale of the album since they aren't actually CD quality songs. Its an advertising ploy to generate interest, news articles, radio news, hype, etc...and its working. People are psyched. I'm going to buy a half-dozend copies the day it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedilips Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 why would you run to Merck and tell him that tracks were leaked right away? that makes no sense. make him come to you and explain what happened. if they cared so much about these tracks getting out, they'd make a statement. you going to them right away takes away any chance of getting info out of them.

firecrown Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Can't blame this forum for the leaks. Gotta blame the source of them. If they didn't come from here first then they would have just come from somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) Still unclear why we fear Merck like the great and powerful Oz.I could see taking the tracks down if he sought you out and asked. But why run to him like that?Let me put it this way. Where is the upside of it?? What has this, loyaltyy I guess you'd call it, ever gotten us??I'm sorry if this is out of line, but I am simply asking because I do not know.And once again, as I've said time and again, we are not fans. We are fanatics. There IS a difference. If you download the song now, but have every intetnion of buying the CD, where's the harm??

busngabb Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 This Forum is getting mentioned in the Next "Behind the Music: Chinese Democracy" on VH1 Feck, I never thought of anything like that. The digital age is so more willing to embrace stuff like this. Can you imagine having a post of yours one below a post they featured on that show? Wow, this is more mindblowingly big than I ever thought possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quadlaser Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 i thinks axl and merck would be more pissed if we DIDN'T download them.what kind of message would that send? it would clearly say "we don't care about your new shit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
