bass71player Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 i dunno about a presale... but some kind of organized online sale would be cool. the thing about a presale is that everyone would download it after the initial couple thousand got sold.

chesire78 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 i wouldn't hold my breath on that unless i knew the album was done i would hate to be waiting another 14 years but if i knew i would get it in like 6 weeks all would be good i think at this point from whats been said they are not planning to it this way so this topic rock2 is kind of pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 There would need to be a release date already set for this to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzeurilluzion Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I dont get itWhy would I pay now to receive the album later when I can just go to the store and buy it on release day?What advantage does the buyer have by buying it on presale?

Rovim Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) no. part of the excitment especially after all this time, is being able to go inside a record store and buy the album.than go inside my room and listen to chinese democracy for a month, than take a piss break.

Incognito Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I say don't release the album until there is a reunion of the real GN'R. Anything before this would be too soon, imo.I honestly think these "negotiations" have to do with the real guns reuniting. It has to be. I could see the label basically telling Axl to go fuck himself with this new GN'R shit. I'm sure the material Axl has isn't bad, but the label has to realize that the only way they can really capitalize off this thing is for Slash, Duff, and Co. to have contributions on the album. They're probably saying something like, you want more money for promo - SLASH IS A MUST!Do you really think the label sees Frank Ferrar's presence being felt as a selling point? That probably carries about the same weight in their mind as a random crack whore off the street having credits on the album. A reunion and re-recorded album would be fucking huuuge. Unlike anything the rock world has ever experienced. I'm sure the label probably realizes - Slash, Duff, and Izzy would do it. Now all they have to do is convince old cranky pants.

Unlike anything the rock world has ever experienced. I'm sure the label probably realizes - Slash, Duff, and Izzy would do it. Now all they have to do is convince old cranky pants. In the words of Steven Adler - "Nothing would be bigger."This would be great but I would think that the old guys would feel a bit odd just re-recording songs they didn't help write at all. If you think about it, if this idea was proposed, it's like the last 14 years have been just a long drawn out scenario that Axl wanted: complete creative control. "Ok, I've got the music, guys, let's do it...what do you think?" My fear is if they are negotiating a reunion (which I agree with, is what I think may be happening) is part of the deal might be to write and record and that translates into more delay.

You'd have a very stripped down album. Slash and Izzy could not, in any way, play what Buckethead put on the album. So instead of a lightening fast shred solo, you'd have some slow and awkward bluesy riffs. No thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line up changes, Reunions, Robin blah blah blah I don't care about anything else.I just want the album to come out.I honestly don't give a shit what happens after that.But just to stay on topic, I think the 'ransom' pre-sale idea is good. So regardless of the inevitable illegal downloads etc etc, at least they are guaranteed a reasonable payback on the album before it even leaves the hands of the record label.
