Hi Mike,
Unfortunately the Greatest Hits is not remastered. It does however have the 'Sympathy For The Devil' track on it, only available before on the 'Interview With The Vampire' Soundtrack.

As far as 'Chinese Democracy' goes, sorry to say... but it is still on hold.
Sorry it wasn't better news for you.
Lorie

Wonder if 'on hold' means 'we don't know anything about it'

Its obvious that nobody knows anything about that damn album.  I bet Axl probably even forgot about it.   ::)  I thought there were a couple of songs that were remastered, wasn't that in a press release or something.  I remember reading about that.

How could they not remaster this thing? God that is stupid. I bet it will do some business though.

maybe the lady at Universal was wrong or misinformed..damn imagine that - a misinformed person with relation to Guns n' Roses!

At least this lady emailed back qiuckly with what she knew, unlike specific other people keeping us in the dark..eh Axl? :P

At least she said "on hold" instead of "oh, they are putting finishing touches on it."

Honestly, when I saw the "quality" of the DVDs, I never really expected any kind of remastering for the GH. Trivia questions: How many DVDs have been released in 2003 with only a Dolby 2.0 soundtrack? Very few. How many Interscope musical DVDs have been released in 2003 with only a Dolby 2.0 soundtrack and not a single bonus for the fans? 3: GN'R's Welcome To The Videos, Use Your Illusion I & II.

Actually "Sympathy for the devil" was released as a gnr single... but on the other hand it would probably not be available today..

Exactly - i have the single here, at this moment

Its worrying when Universal don't even know that it was available in single format......

it certainly is not fake. i think we've been dicked around long enough. the rumors and the little pu$$ies that post lies were funny maybe 5 years ago - but not anymore. Jarmo has the addresses.
BUT i understand where you guys are coming from.

Those accusing you of it being faked need to read just a bit better.  People, come on, he left the original email address he sent his query to in the copy / paste.  Yeesh, email the same address and chances are you'll get a similiar response from the same person.

Looks to me like the Canadian webmaster is probably the Chris person and he forwarded the inquiry to Lorie - or it could be the reverse of that.. but still.

Now, just because the email is real doesn't mean the information is.  Universal Canada says its "on hold" probably because that's the same thing they've been saying for 2+ years now.  They just don't have any 'new' information from the U.S. arm of Interscope from which to go on.

thanx!
yeah i think you are absolutely right. the informing of people in the universal world...the Gn'R world even!, are insanely lacking credible info!
