Me too. So no single for me...

I understand people want it to do well, but what i've never understood is WHY?

Are you that paranoid that it won't sell? GN'R is not Sebastian Bach solo. The Guns N' Roses brand name alone, guarantees platinum, if not double-platinum imo.

I was originally planning on three copies. One 'official', one to 'keep in the wrapping', and one for my vehicle.

But with times being tough, it's probably just going to be one copy, i'll burn what I need for spares in a vehicle, and just sit back and wait and see if Azoff gets Axl to do something with CD, like The Eagles did with Long Road, where they re-release it a few months later, with an additional CD of material.

We will see where it goes. Something tells me CD will see varying releases, ala Contraband with VR. People need to sit back and wait imo, before they run out and buy 16 copies of an album, that might get some bonus goodies in a re-release by Christmas time... in theory.

Maybe the phrase is Axl doesn't allow them to "operate like a band".

'Cause Paul, Bucket, and Chris to name a few, had heavy contributions to this album. As much, or near as much as Axl himself.

Eh, you've got a point there. I didn't see it that way.

I have believed for a long time the people that claim they are buying several copies of CD, will be the ones to download it from the 'net, and probably are the same 'diehard Gunners', who are such fans, but in fact have illegally downloaded and burned all of their records.

I've bought all the albums (over again too), concert tickets, heavy amounts of cash spent on merchandise... I think i've earned my right to a few 'freebie' demos.

I will be buying CD of course like the true fan also.
