#17481 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bob Lefsetz: Best Buy Deal confirmed/Azoff response to leaks » 945 weeks ago
Since when do retailers call themselves 'big box'?
WTF?
*thanks for explaining tho
#17482 Re: Guns N' Roses » The "Best Buy" leaks » 945 weeks ago
I wouldn't be shocked at all if CD were a multi-album box set, and then a reunion next year.
It's a very plausible scenario at this point.
The new band seems dead to me as a touring band. But we'll see.
#17483 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bob Lefsetz: Best Buy Deal confirmed/Azoff response to leaks » 945 weeks ago
this is gaining steam if billboard is reporting it...kinda troubling that a release schedule is still being worked on
I ended up quoting what I was actually talking about.
As for your post, the whole thing on the release schedule being worked out could be a variety of things. 1) Billboard can't confirm, because NO announcment... or 2) There is a box set or a fast-track release schedule being worked for future albums, and the deal has yet to be finalized.

And Neemo, you're definitely on the mark with the 8 weeks. Uni needs to say yes very soon, or this may still get ugly. But Azoff's got some big deals in his pocket in regards to CD, and Uni may realize that this is their last chance to get some money back.
If the Best Buy deal was inked, then Universal has already agreed, as the deal is between Universal and Best Buy. I assume, the "big box" deal is aka "Best Buy" deal.
If that's the case, can someone please explain?
#17485 Re: The Garden » Zogby sees possibility of a McCain landslide » 945 weeks ago
Well unfortunately for Obama, he hasn't bridged the gap to get Republicans to vote Democrat.
From what i've seen, party lines are still party lines for most. McCain can be guaranteed the "bible belt" who will never vote Democrat, and Obama can be guaranteed California & the north east, who will never vote Republican.
At this point, it could go either way. Don't be shocked if Obama wins Florida, which will be a HUGE loss to McCain.
#17486 Re: The Garden » McCain lies? Caves? Or Obama was right? » 945 weeks ago
The debate tonight will be CRUCIAL in my opinion to BOTH candidates.
Scenarios...
1) If McCain comes in, after everything, owns Obama, and then heads back to Washington. Obama will look foolish, inexperienced, and it might lead to McCain winning the presidency.
2) If McCain comes in and a draw. They both look unprepared, and both of their 'heat' from the well done conventions dies quickly.
3) If McCain comes in, and Obama owns him. It'll most likely destroy his legitmacy, and although the race won't be totally over, Obama will be given a 2/3 advantage imo.
We'll see. I'll keep an eye on the CD developments, but i'm watching this debate tonight.

I agree also. Sarah Palin seems like nice, intelligent woman, that Washington hasn't corrupted at this point.
But she is a TOTAL fish out of water. I kind of feel bad for her in a way, because I know if McCain doesn't lose this election, and she doesn't get to hightail back to Alaska, they are gonna fucking destroy her in Washington, just to see blood

That was an absolute owning of everything that has been the McCain/Palin ticket, and then to have Olberfuror on the show was rubbing salt in the wound.
Wow. And the thing is, everything Dave was saying was totally valid points.
This move on McCain's will make or break him. We'll look back in late November say it was absolutely brillaint, or it was utterly stupid.
Looks like it was utterly stupid. He showed up today and actually caused more problems than good. Many of the people involved in the negotiations said they were very close to having the deal completely hammered out until McCain showed up today and actually created a group of dissenters on the Republican side. But in the media you will hear him claiming he is trying to be "bi-partisan" when it actually sounds like he stirred up some shit instead of helping the process.
Actually I heard McCain really... didn't do anything. He didn't stir shit or create dissenters... but he just kind of stood there. He really didn't lead a brigade or anything like that. He just kind of stood around and went with the flow of things, kind of under the radar.

I'm sticking with my prediction of no tour other than possible SNL, Tonight Show,etc. performances and GNR being marketed like NIN.
It should have been marketed like that all along instead of offering up some delusional fantasy that people like Fortus had any influence in the band. The fanbase wouldn't be splintered in so many "factions" had this been marketed like NIN since the late 90's.
Axl, Gould, and Azoff need to bring a dose of reality to certain segments of the fanbase.
Agreed. I think it's pretty clear at this point that guys like Fortus were session guitarists.
He could've just kept Paul around if that were the case.

If you ask me, Azoff's quite obviously forcing everyone's hand in meeting the November release date.
The Dr Pepper thing send out a signal that GNR is enthusiastic over a 2008 release.

What Big Box deal??!?!?!
