They kinda need to use this or Better as the first single; they need a song that's punchy, rocks, and showcases each of the lead guitarists. It's only logical to use this one.
For my part, I'll download it, but I'm not listening to it until the album comes out. I want to kick back and listen to the whole thing in one sitting.

No matter what the haters claim to hear, Buckethead owns the material we've heard so far. Will he return to GN'R? Maybe that's what the hold up is on the "official" press release. Robin ain't coming back, I can pretty much guarantee you that.
I agree. Robin is a touring guitarist, always has been, and Trent & Axl both run their bands the same way.
At least with Trent, Robin can regularly work.
Eh? He's been the longest-serving member of the new band. He wrote Better. And without seeing the songwriting credits for the album, you don't know the extent of his contribution. His guitar work defines songs like The Blues, TWAT and Better. He's not just a "touring guitarist".

God, it'd be amazing if Buckethead and Brain returned to the band. Nothing against Ferrer and Ron, they're great guys... but if we had the 2002 line-up touring with Axl's 2006 voice (and Axl and Finck looking like the fucking rockstars they did in 2006, instead of the freakshow look they sported in 2002), I would literally explode with happiness. 
Picturing the look on madison's face would also be hilarious...

Hmm, someone's probably going to get in a lot of trouble for this. Surely they should've been password-protected?

Fuck me, it's legit. Try changing the numbers to 10.

Hmm, the concept does look a lot like those promos that fans have knocked up on YouTube. And it does look a bit shonky - though they've clearly got a hi-res image of the cover, and the site seems legit. I would imagine this might be a test reel produced for the client, a proof of concept. It is the bleeding obvious way of advertising the album, though - using the intro/opening chords of Chinese Democracy is a no-brainer. Wonder how much Azoff is paying them?

God, it's weird seeing the cover over there on the right next to the others...
#1989 Re: Guns N' Roses » Australia to get Democracy Nov 22? apparently... » 908 weeks ago
So, what time can we expect the torrents to pop up, then? 
#1990 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy release date? » 909 weeks ago
It's a canny decision to sell it in NA on the Sunday; it gets them a couple of days of extra sales, and - more importantly - it means that people in NA will have to buy the album on Monday rather than picking up a torrent from someone who bagged it in Europe.
