Duck-Billed Catechist Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I have not messed with it - how much spam is everyone getting from this? You have to sign-up somewhere I take it?You can check a box to get emails from Dr. Pepper. Apparently the main thing they are gleaning from it is demographic info--they are asking for age, gender, and zip code. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Axl Rose Pipes Up On GNR Message BoardsAxl RoseDecember 12, 2008 11:29 AM ETJonathan Cohen, N.Y. He's yet to grant an interview about Guns N' Roses' recently released "Chinese Democracy," but last night (Dec. 11) Axl Rose broke his silence by answering questions on the message boards of popular GNR Web sites MyGNR.com and Here Today ... Gone to Hell. Rose addressed a wide range of topics, including the status of his relationships with former members of the band, several specific songs from "Chinese Democracy" and whether guitarists Buckethead and Robin Finkc would one day return to GNR. "What I can say now is you've been told a lot of things in order for others to promote themselves that factually they cannot backup in regard to either," Rose said when asked for his opinion on why the original lineup fell apart. "They are complicated legally, financially and have devoured a good portion of my life." Rose added that he was recently sued by Duff McKagan and Slash over a merchandising issue "that I was unaware and not involved in. Fortunately that was resolved but it got ugly and took a while going into arbitration." The artist did not directly address what exactly took so long for "Chinese Democracy," which was started in the mid-1990s, to be released. But he did acknowledge there is a wealth of additional material that could potentially be released in its wake. "For now we'll concentrate and keep our focus on this album but I will say I've always thought of it as a double," he said of "Chinese Democracy." Earlier, he told fans that a video for the new album's "Better" would be released "in a week or so." When one fan took Rose to task for steadfastly avoiding the press, he responded, "What I have to say a lot of people have no desire to hear." Another fan tore into Rose for his reclusive lifestyle and what he deemed fan-unfriendly behavior, to which Rose replied, "Your misconceptions and fantasies along with your misguided sense of entitlement don't dictate my actions." "Chinese Democracy" was finally released Nov. 23 as a Best Buy exclusive. It debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 261,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, but slumped to No. 18 this week with 57,000.

Calexico Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 At least I finally got the new Ryan Adams cd - it stinks also. Correctamundo. Give that and the Guns album to someone you don't really like this Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Correctamundo. Give that and the Guns album to someone you don't really like this Christmas. I did not buy the GNR cd, I just listened to in online. I hope Axl makes some bread though - after all the money spent on making the album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 After my initial "I'm not gonna get it phase," I broke down and bought it a few weeks back. I actually am liking the album. the first half is so much better than the back half. I'm interested in hearing the other songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fuck him, there are plenty Hollywood types feeding him and his ego...believe me, he doesn't need the cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigideas Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I got mine today. I assume the promise they delivered on was their statement to offer a free Dr Pepper to everyone if G'n'R released the album this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Nope, just that form/coupon in a generic window envelope. ummm, bigshoulders are you holding out on me on that Dr. Pepper coupon you promised.
