Maybe Killers aren't as big in the US then I don't know, here in the UK they have a great chance for top spot, as do Nickelback and Britney. You're right about Kanye West, I must have missed him.

If it comes Nov 23rd CD's main competition to me looks to be Nickelback, Killers and then Britney in terms of chart position. Not the biggest of the heavyweights but they might struggle to outsell the Killers though.
Incidently The Killers have had their single on the radio for 3/4 weeks now. I don't think GNR can be going for an orthadox single release, at least not until CD's out anyway, they're cutting it very fine if they want a single out prior to the albums release.

It's over seven bucks here, so... But I still can't get enough of it.
At Safeway it was on sale two pints for 7 bucks. Usually around 4 bucks. Worth every penny.
I still don't understand why they don't sell it by the gallon. They act like that shit is gold.
You have Safeway in the US? You learn something everyday!

GNR should offer something unique in the vinyl version which would basically force all hardcores(even those claiming to buy 10 copies when they're buying none) to buy at least one.
Not sure what that would be, but Kala's 1st pressing came with stickers and a bandana, and after that it came with free ringtones.
I'm not buying any vinyl versions, mainly cos I aint got a record player. I'm buying one cd when it comes out and that's the disc I'll listen to, if there's a DVD bonus version I'll buy that, but I'm not buying numerous copies just to sit on my shelf unopened.

This seems very promising, and as I always thought when this thing was going to come out, we've got sources all over. Not just someone who knows Axl's gardener etc, there's literally countless sources for this one, all unrelated to the next. It's happening folks, the only question is why GNR haven't said so yet??

Good to have it finally getting recognised over here properly. At the end of the summer though of course. Well done record label....
There's a trillion remixes of Paper Planes. Some done by her, her friends, other artists, and a bunch of fan mixes. I ignore all of them and only listen to the original track.
Hell, Jay-Z recently did a Boyz remix. Even has added verses by M.I.A. Not interested.
Its funny how the song exploded a year after release. Shows that even in these dire times for artists and sales, you have a shot at a major hit even if it doesn't happen right after release.
It's down to Pineapple Express, I was digging paper planes when I first heard it on the trailers, I had no idea it ws her until I saw the video on some music channel.

this apbum being exclusive to best buy or whatever...
what does that actually mean, it wont be sold anywhere else in the world except this store? i mean, how are us UK people gonna get hold of it ?
This is usually a US thing only, chances are that us in the UK will be able to buy the album anywhere.
#1458 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy album cover? » 917 weeks ago
Captain Winkler wrote:in reality it probably won't be an Asian oriented album cover at all.
That was always my line of thinking as well since I always thought the album(and the title track) had nothing to do with China.
However, nothing would surprise me in the least and I can imagine either of these being the album cover.
On the tours there was a chinese theme about the stage setup, the writing etc had an oriental type feel so the title of the album was obviously taken literally for the tour designs. Who knows if the album cover will go down the same route though?

I'm hooked on the Ben and Jerry's cookie dough flavour.

Guns N' Roses
Axl Rose is the Ralph Ellison, the J.D. Salinger, the Harper Lee of hard rock. GNR once defined metal-edged swagger, but it's been a decade and a half since the band'”with Slash and Izzy Stradlin long gone'”has released an album. Several songs from 'Chinese Democracy' were leaked this summer, and one, 'Shackler's Revenge,' is on the video game Rock Band 2, raising hopes that this is the year 'Democracy' (due by Christmas, maybe) spreads across the globe.And the key words being due by Christmas MAYBE. They fucked up big time now. This Rock Band thing was free and easy promo. So long 2008. So who has 2009 for the year it is released?
I wouldn't write this whole thing off just because the promotion hasn't gone the way you'd like it to. This is a coup for RB, what's the point in releasing the single before or on the day RB is released, there's no benefit to Harmonix and RB that way, as it's no longer a selling point if all and sundry have already heard the track. If there's been nothing from GNR in a few weeks to a months time then I'd be surprised (actually I wouldn't but that's a different story 
). Let RB have their coup then announce the song will be available to buy on whatever date and the album release will follow in November (for example). All that could come in one press release next week or the week after and it ties it all up.
Not saying any of that would or will happen but I think the doom and gloom because we've heard nothing else before RB is released is premature imo.
