Here's my thoughts at this point; I'm happy with whatever I get. Also, I'm starting to think the "Best Buy Purchases 3 million CDs" may be right. Maybe they have a multi-year, multi-release deal with GNR that means all three CDs will be released there?
I'm excited as hell to have CD on the way. I can't wait to hear final versions of these songs and I'm very excited to hear the new ones!
The idea of them purchasing exclusivity for multiple years and albums is interesting. It's definitely possible.

Anyone else notice that the website lists all versions of the album as having a release date of 11/25? So perhaps that 11/23 release date isn't official? Guess we will find out soon enough when they announce it.

No clue, but if I had to guess, I would think it is some kind of rocker...which could mean Checkmate since we do know that one is a rocker.
I hope that "Checkmate" could be Scraped, 'cause it seems to be a really great song. The clip I've heard is promising.
Yes, it sounded pretty awesome from what I recall.

There does seem to be a trend of artists releasing special edition CD's with loads of new songs and even double albums a few months after the initial release. That would be cool. But I guess once the first album drops the second won't be too far behind. I'm just ancy to hear Seven and Atlas Shrugged.
But I think the reviews and reception of this album are going to be all over the place. I don't think it will be huge or a flop, but it'll be better than expected.
I just listened to all 11 of the leaked songs in order and one thing is true. It is epic. There's no doubt about it. Problem is, half the people that like GN'R as casual fans will be expecting WTTJ and Paradise City. Plus, even the rockers on CD are so different from the old band's sound, it's going to throw people off. There's a lot of different sounds going on in these songs, possibly overproduced you might say. But I personally think it'll be a pretty good album. It's better than either of VR's albums, that's for sure.

I don't know. Street Of Dreams sounds like a Vixen song.
Kind of down about Catcher being on the album. Hopefully Sorry, This I Love and Scraped are killer tunes.
You don't like Catcher or you were hoping for another new song?
I don't hate Catcher, I was just hoping it would be something we haven't heard. But I'm definitely interested with hearing an updated version of it.
Ah OK. That's understandable. Well, that's the position I had on it too. I was hoping pretty much everything was scrapped and they'd bust out with a ton of new songs on us. Really the only one that has "hit" written all over it to me is Better so I was fine with that one staying. And I love all of the leaks, but I just realize they probably won't go over that well with the public.

#3719 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Official Tracklist » 936 weeks ago
The one I really want to hear is Catcher in good quality. That was the weirdest of the leaks because it was someone recording it the old fashioned way instead of a CD rip like the others. LOL.

Maybe he was telling the truth. Maybe it's not Top 10 but it's Top 14.
well thats true I guess... but he seemed to indicate with that comment that the song was nothing special (which I agree with
)
obviously special enough though
Well, I can say that I like it quite a bit. I even like the added synth elements from Pitman that are in the newer versions. Unlike Better where the added synth hurts the song, I feel that the added synth in IRS is pretty cool because it's pretty catchy instead of just annoying background noise like in Better.
