I'm think we need some information.
If you say Imposter five times into the mirror, you apparently get a riddle and crap your pants.
I think it's worth it.
#16472 Re: Guns N' Roses » BestBuy.com is now shipping CD » 938 weeks ago
when i ordered the last 2 harry potter books i received them on the saturday....that is really unusual in canada because the post doesnt generally arrive on weekends. anyway i would think this will be similar, you will most likely receive the CD on or before the 23rd
Well see in the states, most USPS don't deliever on Sundays (the release date). And UPS doesn't deliver on weekends.
That puts the buyers in the position of (UPS) getting it on Friday or Monday. And standard postal delivery, on Saturday or Monday.
Nobody is getting shit on Sunday most likely, except those of us, like myself, that are making a 4 hour round trip jaunt to Best Buy to pick it up.

Last five shows sold good.
That's when they hit the population centers.
2006 had some sell outs.... ironically at the same places.
Big cities like LA & NYC, sell out fairly easy for GN'R. Although I will agree there was a major difference with 2002 vs. 2006. If I remember correctly, MSG in 2002 sold out in like 15 minutes when the tix went on sale.... MSG in 2006 told to a couple days ahead of time to sell out. Then again, most likely the same going in 2006, were the same ones from 2002, and ironicallly - the basically got the exact same show, except for maybe Better & I.R.S. thrown in.
#16474 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy official reviews thread » 938 weeks ago
Klosterman is King as always.
Classic quotes from that article....
But you still can't psychologically prepare for the bear who eats you alive, particularly if the bear wears cornrows.
This is why he was so paralyzed by the construction of Chinese Democracy—he can't write or record anything without obsessing over how it will be received, both by a) the people who think he's an unadulterated genius, and b) the people who think he's little more than a richer, red-haired Stephen Pearcy.
Axl's enemy list is pretty Nixonian at this point
But Rose is the complete opposite. He takes the path of most resistance. Sometimes it seems like Axl believes every single Guns N' Roses song needs to employ every single thing that Guns N' Roses has the capacity to do—there needs to be a soft part, a hard part, a falsetto stretch, some piano plinking, some R&B bullshit, a little Judas Priest, subhuman sound effects, a few Robert Plant yowls, dolphin squeaks, wind, overt sentimentality, and a caustic modernization of the blues.

#16476 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Next Wave Of Leaks » 938 weeks ago
I'm interested in anything, as long as it's not the final versions on the album.
I'm sure there's a warehouse full of demos and alternate takes, cutting room floor stuff, based solely off this album.

Something bigger is in the works....
Look to the 13 points of light.... it is for told by lord Imposter.

Weirdo frontmen attract weirdo fans.

2/3 are in the positive, with 1/3 in the negative.
Expect the same reaction to the actual album. It's the fate of new GN'R. The other 1/3 are most likely old Gunners, who will be replaced by new fans.
#16480 Re: Guns N' Roses » When will it leak? *It Leaked* » 938 weeks ago
Not really, the "demos" were one shot shy of being finished at one point, some probably were done. Prostitute is the same as the album version, only better mixed. If the demos sucked they would been unlistenable for so long, as one reporter said "these are the best produced demos of all time", GNR called them rough demos to save face, just like Oh My God.
The 2002 Boston promos was clips from the original CD leak, Maddy leak and The Blues leak.
True.
One thing to understand with the CD demos vs. the old band's demos, is that there's nothing in the CD demos that will CHANGE whether someone likes the song. Even Catcher In The Rye. Even though May should've been left in, the song is still - a great song.
Only diehard fans will even notice the changes imo.
For the most part, whatever songs you liked as demos, are the same songs you'll like on the album. Nothing will sway you good or bad.
