I went into Spencers today (spencers is a store with music related items and novelty gifts etc.)
They had a ton of GNR items, t-shirts, clocks, ceramic posters, beer mugs, glasses, etc..
I bought mugs and glasses

Anyway guy at the counter tells me that in September Guns N' Roses will be the featured artist, meaning a lot more merchandise, new stuff, special sales etc...I asked him who made the decsion to name September GNR month and he said corporate office deals directly with the band/management and work it all out, (he like had no clue about GNR or it's history)  but anyway

Why would GNR enter into such an agreement if there was nothing to sell? Or Promote?
FYI
August's featured artist is Avenged Seven Fold...

So put that in your pipe and smoke it.....

It's for sure in the US, but I'm not sure about anywhere else.

Could just be cross-promotion for the tour. On the plus side, management seem infinitely more organised this time round, so I'm sure we'll get a proper update at some point.

Black Label Society was the featured artist in July and you could win a guitar lesson with Zakk Wylde. THey hade BLS shot glasses, mugs, pint glasses, wall arts, mirrors with the BLS logo in the middle, blankets, flasks, clocks, bags, and other shit. So expect the same for GnR.

I love Spencer's.  I think this is very promising news.  Thanks Bostonrose.   beer
The only prob. I have with the current GNR merch (as of about 2 weeks ago) is that they only had a GNR wallet (old logo) and barstool and wallplaque (both old logos). 

I want new stuff!!!!!!

Merck, wink, wink, if you're reading this...new logo, posters with the band, collector's edition poster with every musician who has had a part in the making of Chinese Democracy!  This would be oh so nice!!!  Can you imagine how big that poster would be?

If nothing else, it might be in support of the US tour.  Even better if it involved the album's release date...

Wow I haven't been to Spencer's gifts since I was about 13, which coincidentally is about the time that GNR peaked.  I guess I'll have to go back there next month and check that out.
