bax Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I've tried to imagine what it will be like when the thing finally comes out, but I just can't do it. It just doesn't seem real to me. The closer it seems to come to an actual release, the less real it seems. I'm not just talking about what it will sound like, cover art,etc,-it's hard to articulate, but it's been so long, there have been so many rumors and false alarms that I just don't know how I will react.Am I the only one?

patrick5189 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Yeah, I know what you mean. But they havent played a west coast show in forever either and it looks like that is finally going to happen, so I'm very hopeful this time. I'm sure all of us who have been following the band have built up huge expectations for the album, and no matter how good the music is it will be awsome to finally have.

BarmyBritJo Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 My birthday's in October so maybe I'll be opening it then? Otherwise it'll be wrapped in festive paper and be in my hands on Dec 25th! My other half is well aware that it's at the top of my want lists!! Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 On the day of its release, a trip into glasgow will be in order with my friends at which point many copies of the album will be bought and then lovingly brought home to vast soundsystems as quckly as possible after admiring the artwork/booklet on the train on the way home.

abw1987 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I just hope I can find a place nearby that will sell it at midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 whenever a major album is released they open the doors midnight the day of, that how I bought UYI'S it was great stood in line in the middle of the night to get my hands on gn'r's latest ofering, but cd will be different, I will get it a few days before it is released, same as i did with spaghetti. I go to a local shop donate money to charity and voila he lets me buy the new cd...Gunsguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock in PA Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I just hope I can find a place nearby that will sell it at midnight.There should be a Gallery of Sound location close to your school... they usually do midnight sales for big albums.

cashpiles Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 For some of you crazies that have been waiting a decade for the new album, yes, it would probably feel VERY surreal for you to be holding Chinese Democracy in your hands.As for me, I've only been waiting about 2 years now for Chinese Democracy. During this time, Chinese Democracy has taken on some kind of mythical status in my mind.Also, we'll be holding an album in our hands that is called Chinese Democracy. What is Chinese Democracy? There's no such thing as Chinese Democracy. In reality Chinese Democracy does not exist. But, Axl's album will exist. It will be a total mindfuck. It's kind of funny. Since Chinese Democracy does not exist, then, you can say anything is Chinese Democracy and it will be true. So, it's like, Axl is saying, "THIS ALBUM is Chinese Democracy."What is Axl saying with this? Is he saying anything at all? Is he saying that we will be holding Chinese Democracy in our hands? Like, we will have the power to bring about Chinese Democracy in China? If we do the right thing, democracy will come to China. if we do the wrong thing, communism will prevail. Is he saying that it really is in our hands?What I'm saying is that musicians and masters of art always layer their work with multiple meanings and messages.
