#17411 Re: Guns N' Roses » Baz mentions Axl, possible Xmas shows (July '08) » 945 weeks ago
I hate john Rich, that song he and Big made with Bon Jovi is the worst most annoying gayest song ever.
I never knew Bon Jovi could reach gay-EST. I thought their gayness was infinite... 
#17412 Re: Guns N' Roses » Number of tracks etc... » 945 weeks ago
I'd almost hope half of what we've heard.... was staved off for a EP release of cut songs.
I want the album to be as much brand new material, non-leaked as possible.
My guess though is everything that was leaked in June, despite being older versions, will be on the album. That's 9 right there, plus Shackler at 10. Only leaving room for 5 more. I don't think Catcher will be on there.
I'll still buy it.
Now if it's a double disc, or possibly even a multi-album or fast track album release... then the possibilities are endless.
#17413 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Upside of a Best Buy deal » 945 weeks ago
not really axlin08 cuz if they do it the other way alot of peopel run out and buy the first one and even though some will grumble alot will go out again and buy the specicial version later on
True, but like 11dayempire, if there's a bonus disc release later on, after a single disc I went out and bought... i'll just download it.
Only way you'd get me to buy a double-disc SE re-release is if the 2nd disc featured an all-new album, and the set was still priced as a one-disc.
That way i'd view it, as just buying the "2nd album" so to speak. But if it's a double-disc re-release at like $25 bucks... fuck off.

I'm starting to worry. I would've thought Monday morning would've saw a press release.... *cue cricket sound effect*.
#17415 Re: Guns N' Roses » The downside of a Best Buy deal... » 945 weeks ago
If there's a super-duper special edition with extra bonus tracks, it'll likely be a US exclusive. Us poor mugs outside the US will have to either pony up for a second-hand copy on eBay or amazon or wherever, or come begging in the forums for the extra stuff. Whereupon a hundred self-righteous assholes will descend upon us, shouting "U SHULD BUY IT UR NOT A TRUE FAN!!!!111!111!zomg". These people having completely failed to register that, yes, we have paid Axl for the standard edition, and if we buy an import copy of the special edition, Axl won't see a cent more; some asshole on eBay will be creaming a few dollars off us, though.
I guess that's tough. Write the band.

#17417 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Upside of a Best Buy deal » 945 weeks ago
I think it'd be awfully dumb of GN'R management, especially after the fans history to contemplate holding back a second or third album special for later release, to just re-release the original album over and over.
Considering the fact 'leaks' and 'sharing' is very prevolent, and the VERY thin line of tolarance with the fans.... I wouldn't start the double-dipping shit.
Like I said, I think the best concept would be a double-disc+DVD for a very limited special time, because the diehards primarily would be purchasing those, then turn around and release a single for the casuals.
I know it doesn't sound like 'maximizing' profits, but it'll definitely keep the long term fans happy.
If you do that, and you take care of the fan base first, when someone PM's us BEGGING for the '2nd disc' that they missed out on... i'm gonna reply 'try EBay'. Because that's fair to GN'R imo. Everyone had a chance at Best Buy stores or on the internet to get that special LE. But if they turn around and do a single release, then ask for a double dip with a Disc 2 (like with The Eagles)... many fans are gonna want to sit back and say "no, i'll just wait to download the bonus disc somewhere, because i've already bought the album once".
And that's fair.
So in theory, in my eyes, doing the special release FIRST, would make better sense.

The catch was, I listened to an unrecognizable track, that had a mid-to-end section with a hook that kept going "yeah, there was a time..." with guitars in the background.
When T.W.A.T. leaked LATER, and I listened to it, I couldn't breath how shocked I was.
How in the fuck did I hear that song in a dream before HEARING THE SONG IN REALITY?!?!?!
that happens to me all the time. i always dream then sometimes later on it will actually happen.
Weirdness.
#17419 Re: Guns N' Roses » Californication and Tommy Stinson » 945 weeks ago
It's not a bad show by any means. I think it some ways it has alot in common with "Rescue Me" in the sense that the major point of the show is just watching the trainwreck that is the lead character's (Leary on RM, Ducovney on Cali) life. Both led hedonistic lives, both want their wives & families back, both are basically death warmed over.
It's not a bad concept, just gets a little repetitive at times.

I never called myself an insider.
Don't make claims you can't back up.
