Agreed, but someone has to admit it's being released before it's big news.
True. Even so, it's already being reported a lot that it's coming out. Once the announcement comes (either from GNR or Best Buy) then it will be a big deal.
#1612 Re: The Garden » Lost my job yesterday... » 943 weeks ago
Damn dude that sucks. I guess everyone is feeling it these days.
The Republicans love the word "trickle down profits", well it's gonna trickle down alright... unemploment, bankruptcy, welfare...
How 'bout that free market YEAH!
I don't get hoe people can blame this on the free market. In my eyes, this is due to corruption of people. The free market itself isn't to blame. (and we arguablly do not have a free market).
Sorry to hear about your job loss. Depending on what state you are in, the Best Buy rates chance. I would say anywhere from 9-12 per hour. Definently not what you were making before though.
Unemployment will certainly help.

I'm not agreeing with you Axlin08.
We've waited all these years, yes. It's been built up and built up and built up and built up time and time again, yes. It's been called everything from 'mind blowing' to 'epic', yes. That's why this route makes some sense to me. Put the music out there, and let it do the talking.
The sheer fact that it's being released is big news. While GNR might not be promoting it, Best Buy sure as hell will promote the living shit out of it. That you can bet on. I think most people are focussing on the GNR promotional aspect of it, and not Best Buy. Best Buy will promote. The paperwork on the deal is signed, Axl can't tell them not to promote. I'm not even sure he can cancel the deal at this point.
#1614 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy release date? » 943 weeks ago
wouldn't you think that they would allow if the world to appear on the body of lies soundtrack though ? i mean if this is the big push for a late nov release a song played at the end of a major blockbuster only in the credits as a teaser is odd considering its not on the actual soundtrack:headbang:
That means the song is not available in that form if they only put it on the end credits. Not exactly a bad tactic.
#1615 Re: Management » New feature » 943 weeks ago
So, will this do what I think it does?
*edit* sure does, but doesn't this mean you have to "thank" someone before you know for what?
People will reply before they got a chance to check "it" out.Nice initiative though.
Nope. For my downloads, i just hid the link. I let everyone check out what is is by posting the tracklist and sometimes a short description. But to actually download it, you'd have to post.

When I posted this no one seemed to care.
That is unfair sir. I posted to your thread. 
#1617 Re: Guns N' Roses » The "Best Buy" leaks » 943 weeks ago
1-2 weeks is too short but a month is not. The problem with pouring more money in to promotion is that you could be putting good money after bad. Personally, I think they should be low key about it. Put it out and let the music do the talking. It is gonna get a ton of free press anyway just for the fact that it really is coming out. All the promotion in the world won't make people like it. It could actually turn them off. Plus, the more you blow it up and promote it, if it stinks, then it will look like an even bigger failure. I would take the conservative route. They already have a song in a major video game and another one in a major movie release. Now, they should put out another track as the single and go from there.
I've been saying that too- If the World or SR is not the first single. I still believe the first single will be released, and i hope it's something we haven't heard.
#1618 Re: The Garden » It's over for McCain » 943 weeks ago
Randall, that is a very scary thought to think about. It could very well happen and us turn into Germany all over again. How sad it would be to see our country, that one actually stood for freedom and democracy, turn into that. I would move.
A lot of people are predicting he will be assassinated. There will most likely be attempts, and the Secret Service is going to be working overtime during his presidency i'm sure. I hope nothing happens to him or anyone else in his administration if he wins.
The debate tonight could start putting McCain back into voters' preference, or it could mean lights out for McCain. His campaign could be over tonight if he does poorly.
Either way, we'll be no better off.
#1619 Re: Guns N' Roses » The "Best Buy" leaks » 943 weeks ago
Pulling the trigger 1 to 2 weeks before might not be the greatest idea. I've said earlier in this thread they should promote the hell out of this thing. I stand by that. 1 to 2 weeks doesn't give them enough time unless they really have a grandslam campaign coming.

Metallica sure set a good example though. GNR need to promote the living hell out of this thing.
Exactly. And like I said Kanye's "fans" are not just hip hop fans but fans of music in general. GNR needs to just shove this thing in the faces of everyone and everything. Whore it out for all it's worth.
Kanye is a pop artist, so like you said he crosses between hip hop and ALL the people who love top 40 music (which is a lot).
GNR just need to throw the name "Guns N' Roses", "Axl Rose" and "Chinese Democracy" around so much that people get sick of hearing of it. Just promote the living shit out of it until everyone who's not in a coma knows about this album.
