Members chunky-b Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 LINKY Guns N' Roses in talks for exclusive album release NEW YORK (Billboard) - The June leak of nine allegedly "mastered, finished" tracks from Guns N' Roses' long-delayed "Chinese Democracy" spurred a renewed round of speculation about whether the Axl Rose-led band will finally release the 14-years-in-the-making album.But some concrete signs are finally emerging that the album's release could be imminent. That's because, according to sources, negotiations are under way for "Chinese Democracy" to come out as an exclusive at one of the big-box retailers -- either Wal-Mart or Best Buy.Negotiations are also ongoing for conventional record company distribution, another source said.Guns N' Roses is now managed by Irving Azoff's Front Line Management, and Azoff is a well-known proponent of issuing albums exclusively through retailers. He released the Eagles' "Long Road Out of Eden" through Wal-Mart, much to the chagrin of other merchants.It's unclear who initiated the Guns N' Roses exclusive negotiations -- Front Line or Interscope, the band's label.Representatives at Front Line and Interscope with knowledge of the situation couldn't be reached for comment. A Wal-Mart representative said the chain couldn't confirm this fall's exclusive album offerings. Best Buy representatives couldn't be reached for comment.

Members guitargod0dmw Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm not even going to bother worrying about it. If and when it's released, they've got a guaranteed sale...but I'm not holding my breath. I've been hearing about this stupid album for at least a decade now...

Members Renfield Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 No Slash? No GNR. Sorry. This band will be forever ____ and Roses for me. But Tracii Guns left before they even made their first album. So it's really been ____ and Roses since the beginning. :poke: I know what you mean though, I agree. I'd like to see both Izzy and Slash back. And Duff of course too, Matt Sorum can stay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying "Appetite For Destruction" wasn't the best album of the late 80's? Sheesh, what were you listening to, "Cherry Pie"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh, what were you listening to, "Cherry Pie"? All jokes aside though, the album they did after that, Dog Eat Dog, is a masterpiece for it's genre, seriously. VERY ambitious album that has more in common with Queen than Ratt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chubrocker Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 GnR should have got back together in 2000. They could have toured the world 2-3X and made a bazillion bucks. Then they could have disappeared into obscurity and we wouldn't even be talking about them anymore. Now, the whole GnR thing is "who really gives a flying rats a$$." I'm a big GnR fan too. If it weren't for that band, I would not have been as excited about music. Now everything is just a joke within itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
