Hear Chinese Democracy Before You Can Buy It This Weekend
I?m afraid we must insist ? You will glue your ears to your radio, computer speakers, or AOL enabled iPhone this Friday and Saturday at midnight ?

If Axl Rose can give fourteen years of his life to making Chinese Democracy, you can give him 70 minutes of your undivided attention. The wait is over, Chinese Democracy,  the new Guns N? Roses album is out Sunday?

Hear it early, in its entirety and without interruption, Friday and Saturday at midnight?

And hear a different album cut all weekend? Every hour, at the top of the hour.

Chinese Democracy - Hear it before you can buy it... And win it before you can buy it? courtesy of Geffen Records.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It seems that people all around the world don't like the new Guns N? Roses? single ?Chinese Democracy?... they LOVE it!

The track is the number-one seller on iTunes in Greece, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Finland. It also is the biggest rock song on iTunes here in the States, as well as in Canada, the UK and France.

K-Rock will be playing a new track, "Better" this week. It's the one that we had on here for you when the YouTube leak came out a few months ago (the leaker, by-the-way, will not be heading to jail... as if you care).

You can pick up the tracks and 13 others when the long-awaited Chinese Democracy album hits shelves on November 23rd.

Pick up the single now...
 


Thank You Krock!

I think I'm gonna hold out too.  I've come this far, why give in now?  Although if I'm at a party and I've had a few drinks, there's no telling what could happen.  It's possible I could stream the KRock website whether the other partygoers like it or not.

I disagree. Our time has finally come, and this is not a leak situation. This is the music as the band intended us to hear it. They have given us listening parties, radio premieres, streaming singles on the web, etc.

This is what we've always wanted, Axl has given us the album we've been waiting over a decade for. You can hear it in the next two days, why make yourself wait even longer?

I'm not saying go download the album illegally. But the band, the label, and management are giving us every opportunity to enjoy the music. They are basically giving us a way to enjoy it "together."

Remember the live updates from the concerts? We could have a thread here during the radio premiere, all of us discussing the album, listening together.

I've waited a long time with all of you, and I couldn't have picked a better place to spend the time. And I couldn't think of a better way for me to experience the world premiere of the album than with all of you, together at the same time.

Sort of like when we all listened live to the Trunk interview.

You DO have a point there.  Obviously this is OK'd by the band and they'd have no problem with us listening in.  That's why I MAY crack.  Hell, if I'm sitting around Friday or Saturday night with nothing to do, then I probably will.  But I'm not necessarily gonna go on lockdown just to hear it when I'll have it physically at my disposal on Sunday.

Faldor, don't give in! 
Personally, I'm waiting.  Sunday is my day to soak it all in. 

I waited until I was married...I can wait until Sunday!   8)

I likely won't be able to get my hands on a physical copy of the album until around christmas so i will definitely crack and listen in to this. It also looks like they'll stream it on their myspace from another post on here. I wonder if they'll stream it on their site too. The temptation will just be too much for me to resist.

I plan on waiting, but I don't want to make any promises in case I crack.

You do make valid points, would be cool to experience it with the HTGTH community.......I'm also not making any promises incase i do crack and give in before the holy day....but if I do then I'd best use protection....and be equiped with headphones!   :smoking:

I just feel like if the album will be there for public consumption, why should we of all people hold off? We've been waiting along time, I can't see letting everyone else out there that hasn't invested as much time getting it first.

I had every intention of waiting until the 23rd to listen to anything, but once the listening parties happened and these radio premiers were announced, I'd rather not be last to hear it. If the band is ready, then I'm ready.

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to celebrate the moment. This is just how I see it. I remember checking websites in middle school for info, and I'm 24 now. I know there are plenty of stories similar to mine. I don't like the idea of Joe-Schmo who isn't as invested hearing it before me, so I'll listen.

And I really enjoyed the concert update threads, waiting to see what happened next, so I'd like to be able to see all the reactions and post my own as we all get out first listen to it.

You do makes some very valid points.  I pre-ordered CD for a friend of mine, whose birthday just happens to be Nov. 23rd.  But she's not even a GNR fan.  The only reason she knows anything about them is because of me.  I got the e-mail from Best Buy yesterday that the CD had been shipped to her home.  SO, she may get CD on Friday before ME.  That doesn't seem fair.  I should've ordered one for myself while I was at it though.

im debating if I should listen to this broadcast or just wait until I have the album. It will be hard driving around and not flipping on Krock though

Wait. You dont want to hear some low quality version after all this waiting. It will definitely give you a better "first impression" when you hear it in high quality for the first time. IMO

102.1 The Edge in Toronto is doing the same thing:

The edge presents a "Guns n' Roses" Weekend starting the on the 21st. We'll be giving away copies of Chinese Democracy on the air Friday, Saturday and Sunday, along with Martin Streek hosting an exclusive "Chinese Democracy" listening party from the Sound Academy during Friday Night Live. They'll play back the album on site in it's entirety and give away CD vouchers.

I think I might have to break down and listen in.  I sent out an e-mail to my friends suggesting we have our own listening party, completely expecting to get shot down.  They're not the biggest fans, more fans of the old lineup.  But surprisingly I got the OK.  Maybe me sending them every bit of news over the years has finally worn them down.  We'll see if it ends up happening.  Things could change over the next couple days.  And if it does happen, chances are I'll be quite intoxicated by the time midnight rolls around after numerous beers, SoCo/Lime shots, Irish Car Bombs have been consumed that I probably won't remember it all that much anyway.  So Sunday will be just like hearing it for the first time AGAIN! 

Note:  I planned it for Friday night, as I'm bound to have some sort of a hangover the following day.  Don't want to be in less than tip top shape on Sunday.

Will do.  If I don't remember, maybe some of them will.  I can always call the next day and say, "well, what'd you think?"  Then they'll respond, "Dude, we talked about the album for like 2 hours last night, don't you remember?"  Probably something along those lines.
