Red Herring???

Who leaks 80 seconds of a song... it is almost like an iTunes preview baiting you to buy the album.

SOME people have more than 80 seconds. they're just scared to release it.

i can pretty much guarantee that.

that's why i agree with the person who said the whole song was intended to be released (if you buy into the fact that it was intentional)

they're just scared to release it, or waiting. but hey, what do i know?

good point... do you mean waiting out of consideration for axl, or waiting just to build up suspense before releasing more?

muddy and nowhere near as good as? CD quality.? Axl, being the perfectionist he is, is going to want his material to maintain as much fidelity as possible.

Not to mention....the label is going to want a traditional CD release.? They'd pretty much demand it, I think.

So a DTS release?

I agree... and an exclusive iTunes launch, maybe for a few weeks, followed by a real CD makes this idea of "these tracks aren't finished today, but we're releasing them in March" seem plausible.

Up until these clips were leaked a couple of days ago, I thought, no way in hell could CD be out this March.

Now, I at least consider it a possibility that it could be out end of March/before summer.
They just got all of their promotion done for next-to-nothing. A very, very large number of people are now aware that Guns N' Roses (just the band name) has new music that should be out soon.

All that's left to be done is giving a solid release date, and tossing a video to MTV. The rest is all the easy stuff (iTunes, sending songs to radio stations, maybe even a couple of interviews or at least news stories, etc).

Personal opinion: There are 2 different sources releasing material/information. IRS came from one source Better came fromanother. I don't know which is which, one is building suspence, the other is being a jerk.

you're not far off...


there's definitely a circle of people who have these cd's in their possession... one of them will eventually realize that these cd's are out there for a reason, and finally nut up and post the rest of better and TWAT. iit's inevitable, t's just a matter of who does it.

here's the thing, if axl is still in nyc this week, then today should be the day for an announcement. otherwise next week he'll be gone. i think if there's no news by this evening, someone should go ahead and post the rest of better. it could be a good way to get other people the nerves to post TWAT as well... if so, i say we'd all be happy.


but what do i know

Axl has publically admitted to playing the cd for people... people who don't want thier album in early circulation don't play thier cd for strangers and bar owners. Do you really think Axl has to bribe his way into any bar with a CD? Seriously? You can't by the kind of press you get by having Axl come to your place, nobody turns down Axl at the door.
