Duff McKagan Beautiful Disease

Hi
Just wandering if anyone has got a promo copy of Beautiful Disease. I bought one of e-bay and I have the feeling I've been ripped off
. The cd I received is a blank silver CD and the side which plays (contains the music) is black. Is this just a burned CD or does the promo copy actually looks like this.
Also is there artwork with the promo copy? I only got a few prints which are available at the internet aswell.
Thanks

I don't have the original promo but I've seen it. It does have artwork. It has a picture of Duff sitting in an empty apartment room. He is leaning back in a chair and there is a guitar in the corner of the room opposite of him.
As far as the disc itself I don't recall how it looked but if you flip the disc over to the silver side and look at the disc you should see an inner circle that is around the "hole" and it will have information on it (it will be a brighter silver than the rest of the disc). This is where any copyrighted discs (even though it's a promo it was copyrighted) have their information stored. A CDR does not have this coded information. Hope that helps.
One more thing, a
real
promo goes for 100-150 bucks or so on Ebay but a copy you would usually get for 20 bucks or so. If you find this is a fake the guy sold you an illegal copy and you should demand your money (with shipping) back.

How much did you pay for it? I'll have to dig up my copy. I just remember it looked like a demo, not a finished CD. It's possible it was blank. It was a pretty early copy.

I just downloaded this cd, It fucking rocks! My understanding is that it was never properly released? Does anyone think that most of these songs were meant for the new GnR recording up until duff left in 97? Theres probably a chance that there are demos of some of these songs with Axl on vocals.

Nah, Duff speant a year writing and recording this album after he'd left GN'R. None of these songs as far as I know, were written when he was still in the band.
You're right though, it does fucking rock!

yeah..
i remeber i got mine from gnrmp3warehouse.com when that site was alive.... they posted it for 24hours so they would NOT conflict the copyright and they asked everyone who downloaded it to delete it after 24hours....
dont think anyone did though!

Yeah, he sings one of Duff's solo songs, but not on this album. Baz appears on
Believe In Me
on a song called
Trouble
and it fucking rocks. I get the impression from that song that this is what VR might've sounded like if they chose Baz to front the band.

Thats what my copy looks like.? Same with everyone else who believes they have an original promo copy.
Along with the fact that I've never seen or heard of black-backed CD-R's and neither has anyone else I've asked I'm willing to believe they're genuine.

Theres probably a chance that there are demos of some of these songs with Axl on vocals.
Even if he had started working on it before he quit Guns thats unlikely.? Apparently he approached several diffrent singers when he was making the record and they all said the same thing: the songs were all too personal and it'd be wrong to get anyone else to sing them.
Considering most of the album deals with his near-death experience and consequently getting sober thats understandable.

also, why coudent Duff just release it on another lable? just cuz geffen wouldent do it dident mean other company's wouldent.
I've been looking into this for a while now, trying to find a loop-hole that could get it released..? As far as I can tell Geffen has control of the original recordings so although they're never going to release it Duff can't release it under another name or on another label.
He was in the process of re-recording it, first as a live album and later as a studio album.? The first turned into Loaded's Episode 1999: Live which contains Shinin' Down, Seattlehead, Superman, Missing You, Then And Now and Mezz.? The second turned into Dark Days (Loaded's studio album) which contains Seattlehead, Then And Now and Superman, plus 9 original songs.
IMO both are amazing albums but neither live up to Beautiful Disease, which is by far my favourite of anything any GNR member has done since leaving the band.
Importantly neither includes 2 of my favourite songs from BD: Rain and the title track.
I'm totally and completely obsessed with this album. I'd say its the best thing I've heard since AFD, and thats saying a lot.
I've been trying to find a way to get it released for over a year now. I did try sending a petition to both Duff (5 times) and Geffen (4 times) but that never went anywhere. Since then I've been trying to think up more effective ways.
And until then I've been sending copies to everyone who shows any interest.

I have a hang-up on this album right now! Takes me back to 2000...
Guess it'll never be released for real and that's a shame.

I used to have a CD-R of it. Paid $20.00 for it on ebay. Other people paid $100.00 for it! Bear in mind, this was pre-youtube.
