Completely agree with russ on this. Don't really believe GNR for one minute. 
I can't believe in just two weeks time its the anniversary of the tentative date 
#1062 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL ROSE Negotiating For More Money Before Releasing 'Chinese Democrac » 950 weeks ago
I like what that guy from anti-music had to say on the matter. Universal is concerned about making their money back due to how pathetic sales in the music industry are right now. I say that they should provide a lossless version of it for download through a pre-order on the official GN'R website. Sell it for $10. Don't officially release the album on physical CD, Amazon mp3, iTunes, etc. until you've sold 2 million copies through the pre-order. People are allowed to pre-order as many copies as they wish. There are probably some die-hards out there who would pay $100+ if it meant helping the album get released as soon as possible. In fact, some might even spend as much as $1000 on it. 2 million copies x $10 = $20 million before the actual release of the album.
Even if demand is much smaller than it once was, you could still sell the pre-order for $5 and that's still $10 million before an official release. The pre-order idea is a great way to capitalize on the die-hards' desire to get the album without sending the album to the pressing plant where it will surely leak. The best way to prevent piracy causing a huge dent in the album's sales is to build in a guaranteed revenue from it. A pre-order like this is the best way to accomplish it.
I'm a big fan of the 'ransom release'. But although it sounds simple I'd imagine its probably more complicated in practice. Other than the die hards would other people really do it though? And what if the magical number wasn't met?

This whacked behavior predates West Arkeen death so it has been going on long long long time... Ah Malibu a place I never want to live... where weirdness/control freaks and blackmail are the norm and money and power are not all that they seem. I cannot remember taking one person inside the walls of a Malibu house that they were not like GET ME THE F OUT OF HERE....myself included, its like negative vibes, the place needs an exorcism.... Guess if you make it crazy enough you don't notice?
The amazing things about the peaks inside the mayhem is that everyone is so cordial about the fallout. That alone should tell you it is weirder than you could or would want to imagine. Why would sane musicians and ex-friends say so little? Now that should make a sane person wonder what else is going on? Right?
Along these lines, I'm also wandering how the fuck Buckethead managed to pass the 'Yoda' test? I mean, really, Axl must have passed her a photo of Brian Carol and his 'friends' (chickens, puppets etc) when he joined?
This reminds me of that 'Borat' sketch where he shows random people on the street pictures of his naked mother and sister.

I haven't read the article yet, I'm still waiting for my copy of the magazine in the post but I get the gist of it. Sounds like a good read!
Re: Mysteron. I sometimes wander who the real 'whiners' are...if GNR don't like this article they could have easily prevented it. A quick telephone call to Classic Rock to thank them for their 'album of the year' award and would they like to know some more about the band and whats in store for the fans. All of a sudden Zutauts story isn't so interesting after all.
When GNR finally 'go public' its going to be interesting to see who they choose to channel their promotion.
Anyway, I'm still glad this article was written and I'm looking forward to reading it.

I like this thread.
How does one post images into threads?
#1067 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover! » 952 weeks ago
Interested to know why Zutaut suddenly decides to speak up...and one wanders whether the flood gates will now open...
#1068 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover! » 952 weeks ago
Awesome dude can't fucking wait!
The good news is when you subscribe you get the magazine earlier than when it goes on sale in the shops - so hopefully mine is there tomorrow or Monday!
So now someone finally speaks out - I wander how this will go down...

If only that actually had a chance of working.
