GNR's 'Democracy' To Be Retail Exclusive?

[grog mug]

I'm actually excited by this, no sarcasm.  I didn't like it at first, but I want this to happen so badly that I wouldn't care if it came out at TJ MAXX or somethin...I just want the thing out!

[Jim Bob]

This thread alone proves that people will complain about anything.

Lets see if I can say this in a way for people to understand.

CD IS COMING OUT! Smile, laugh, jump for joy!, we've been waiting almost 2 decades for a new GNR album and it's almost here.

WHO GIVES A SHIT where it's sold? 

that pretty much sums it up.   some people will always find something to complain about and feel like they should be making all the band's business decisions.

Axl will not compromise  his album for Walmart.

Like I've stated, U can get away with a couple "Fucks" without getting a label. The songs we've heard live etc have no bad language except for Rhiad which says Fuck twice but I don't think they'd get a sticker for that. IRS says shit once I think. but once again, that wouldnt get a sticker.


LOL@ people who don't want to buy a GNR album because of unfair whatever at Walmart. How about not eating at Burger King for skinning pigs live or KFC for torturing chickens.

It u lived your life based on this type of stuff, U would sit at home all day and wouldn't enjoy very much.

I don't care where i have to go to buy it, as long as it doesn't have bleeps throughout the whole thing.

God, do you really hear that stuff in IRS?

Feeling that I'm just too tired to care
Feeling that I've done more than my share...

[D]

Cool

I thought someone said something about shit

but that is just another plus one for Walmart.

Besides the Fuck in Rhiad, I havent heard any curse words.

Isn't fuck said in the quotes part of madagascar.

[CheapJon]

Isn't fuck said in the quotes part of madagascar.

yes it is

[Bandita]

Not all Walmarts censor.  I still won't buy it from any retailer that does this kind of practice, though.

[D]

I wonder if cause its a "movie Quote" and movies can curse, if that will be a loophole?

Like I said, Its like a R rated movie, there are criteria involved and I havent heard anything yet the warrants a parental advisory sticker.

Remember a few weeks ago when I told everyone to be "Real" careful about how much u say about this guy and this guy because CD isnt out yet and u dont know whats gonna happen and u may be forced to eat crow?

I think an exclusive Wal Mart deal would piss a lot of fans off.

As long as Axl doesnt compromise lyrics etc, I dont care but Im sure a lot of people will.

[GnR-NOW]

Someone above mentioned Circuitcity, Walmart is a much better option then CircuitCity.  CC was almost bought out by Blockbuster, who might also be on verge of going out of business. So be greatful for Walmart ! 

[chineseblues]

I don't get why people are getting pissy about this news. Nothing has been confirmed yet, we don't know if Wal Mart will even get the exclusive rights. Even if it does, I know damn well that EVERYONE will still buy it from them because we have been waiting too long to not buy it because of some store. Why is it that the GNR fan base always has to find something to bitch about?

So chill the fuck out, this is good news!

[D]

I laugh at people  who say they wont buy it.

Even if u DL it, u are still technically getting it from Walmart AND stealing. So if u accuse Walmart of all this shit and u are illegally stealing music........ seems sort of hypocritical to me.

[Bandita]

My beef with WalMart is totally unrelated to music piracy.

I'm sure that they really don't care, but I am sort of HOPING that if enough people complain about WalMart getting this deal that management would give this deal to Best Buy.  I would be really happy to see that happen.

But eh, I am not expecting miracles here.

As chineseblues said, nothing has been confirmed yet.

 

[D]

I understand that Bandita but still, to say you won't listen to CD just because of Walmart, I mean if u could stick to your beliefs that strongly, that would be amazing but being this album, and how long we've waited. I'm willing to overlook anything in order to buy it.

ITunes for me is the biggest rip off.  Itunes has singlehandedly made the album obsolete and people now only buy singles which takes so much money from the artist.

I like how record labels point to piracy for declining album sales and they are wrong, its Itunes. Why buy an album when u only like 2 songs?

Kid Rock is proving that now cause his album has sold more the last 2 months than it did the first 8 months due to his smash single. If that song is on Itunes, guess what? his album wouldn't have sold the million it has the last few months. people wouldve spent 99 cents on the song.

[Jim Bob]

i don't use itunes, the only thing that would convince me to would be an exclusive itunes only release by a band I love, like GnR.   But from what it sounds like, thats not what they want to do.

[Bandita]

D, I'm sure I would break down and buy it eventually if that was the only way.

I'm just hoping it turns out to be the other retailer, that's all.

I don't even use ITunes or have an IPod, I don't use IANYTHING, I am very retro!

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Bandita isn't boycotting Chinese Democracy, to the best of my understanding.

She's saying she'll get the album somewhere else if she has to, even if it means paying more for it.

FUCK!
