Re: GNR's 'Democracy' To Be Retail Exclusive?
^ I missed it too. Pretty damn exciting!! Let's hope management confirms it!
Re: GNR's 'Democracy' To Be Retail Exclusive?
Are you guys discussing MSL's latest?
the events of the last week have really changed the GNR landscape when it comes to the hoarding of information and material. the more fernando attacked me, the more people i had emailing in to say that they'd received songs from him in the past. the more azoff threatened journalists, the more people i had emailing in with stories their editors were prohibiting them from writing.
i've had to sit on this story a day or two longer than i would have liked as it took quite a bit of time to double source the facts. however, after speaking to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, mistersaintlaurent.com is pleased to report the following:
the current intended release date for CHINESE DEMOCRACY is november 25, 2008. it is azoff's strong preference that the release be done through best buy and not wal-mart. i've been told his reasoning is two-fold. #1, azoff's goal is to be able to create future bidding wars between the two retail giants for his other acts and feels best buy will lose interest in these type of promotions if they always lose out to wal-mart. #2, if he goes with wal-mart, he has to convince axl to swap a couple of tracks from volume 1 with tracks from the other volumes to avoid the dreaded parental advisory warning.
i was also told that the story was leaked by azoff to put pressure on best buy to up their offer and close the deal. it's no coincidence that this story hit right before wal-mart's AC/DC deal was finally publically announced. it is azoff's hope that fear of ending up with egg on their face will force best buy to roll out the red carpet in every imaginable way for chinese democracy.

I think this is great news.

*Anything* that points to Democracy being released is great news...I couldn't agree more. However, the part about "if he goes with wal-mart, he has to convince Axl to swap a couple of tracks from volume 1 with tracks from the other volumes?" *That* makes me nervous. No more delays, please...

Re: GNR's 'Democracy' To Be Retail Exclusive?
So much going on lately, I missed msl's latest until this morning.
Hopefully something gets concrete very soon. As for the GNR thing being timed with the AC/DC announcement, that's not entirely accurate. The AC/DC info has been known for quite a long time, it was only the tracklisting that was new news.
there is a difference between known for quite some time and officially announced. i'd heard about the AC/DC thing with wal-mart FOREVER but it wasn't until the other day that the press was given the full details and everything was officially confirmed.

Re: GNR's 'Democracy' To Be Retail Exclusive?
unfortunately, it isn't "news". It is hearsay, gossip, speculation unless we can get some sources named.:/
would be pretty hard for me to keep those sources if i named them now wouldn't it? while i've got some decent leads on more songs, i'm actually more excited right now that i've been able to get in contact with some decent sources when it comes to news about the upcoming release.
