If they release the album through Wal-Mart or Best Buy. How it'll be released in the countries that don't have Wal-Mart or Best Buy (well...there's a Wal-Mart on Buenos Aires but not in my city...)

I have no problem at all if Guns and their management want to make the record exclusive to one retailer. I JUST WANT IT!!!

Best Buy seems to be the more sensible choice, if the CD contains any explicit language.

I can certainly understand the good memories of going to the small independent record stores and getting AFD, and also UYI II & II. Unfortunately a lot of those places are either gone or are now used CD stores with disappointing inventories..... the music industry is just so different now.

Wal-Mart may not be my retailer of choice for various reasons, but I'm not gonna let politics get in the way of finally buying this album. I'll buy it regardless of where it's sold, period. I have no doubts in my mind that it will be awesome.

The cool thing about getting the physical cd is getting the booklet, album case, and cd with artwork on it

That and, of course, the better quality music of a cd as opposed to a mp3/4.  As a collector, I am hoping for many different types of physical (LP, cd, etc.) releases for this album.  Sometime I wonder if Best Buy and WalMart had a hand in bringing Tower down.  Oh well, what's done is done.

Actually now that I think about it.  Didn't GN'R release a single UYI album exclusively for Walmart.  They combined songs from UYI I & II into a single cd exclusively for Walmart.

So let me get this straight on how all of this works.

What special advantages do u get for releasing it straight to Wal Mart or somewhere? Do they pay any of the recording costs or do anything like that? Help with the promotion? I know GNR and the label probably get a bigger piece of the revenue.

Of course. The retailer pays a premium to have the exclusive rights to the CD due to not having any competition from any other retailers. It's a trend that makes a lot of sense for the artists, but really alienates the other retailers who can't carry it. Record stores are having a difficult enough time as it is, and the exclusvie deals are not making it even better. Target and Best Buy have had experience with it on a smaller level, but Walmart seems to be really stepping up to do this more than anyone else. Journey, The Eagles, REo Speedwagon (and more), and now AC/DC.  I hope gnR choose best buy, as that fits their demographic better.

Why is thought here that Best Buy is a better fit for GNR don't you think management will take everything into consideration.  The Eagles cd was released exclusively through Walmart and out sold Britney Spear's cd which was released everywhere.  Walmart is not a bad place to release a CD.  Best Buy is the more electronic entertainment savvy store, but there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with Walmart.  If some people can not stand Walmart, then don't buy CD, over some stupid grudge against Walmart. Be the better person, and boycott Walmart, like Axl said its only a cd

I don't believe there is a Wal-Mart in the Netherlands. When I start one for myself I have exclusive ditribution rights for the country. And I live near Germany so they also can buy at my little Wal-Mart-shop !

(And I would be the first one to have CD) beer

The USA has like a third of the total market share in music.

So it's the most important market when it comes to sales.

You are correct.

AC/DC's Walmart Exclusive is only exclusive in the United States.  In Canada and Europe you will be albe to get the CD at your favorite music store.

Maybe the exclusive that Wal-Mart or Best Buy will have will be like a poster or something extra you can get with CD if you buy it there.
