Would You buy It?

[Neemo]

Many people say that Dec 20th is to late in the year to release an album cuz it will suffer low sales numbers. So I just thought it would be interesting to see

If "Welcome to the Jungle: The Very Best of Guns N Roses" is released Dec 20th, 2005 and it actually turns out to be "Chinese Democracy" in disguise will you buy it or demand it for Christmas? (Throw a tantrum until someone buys it for you or whatever )

I for one will buy it.

Yeh of course I would buy it! Even though I pray to god its not another greatest hits just to please the record company! I would still buy it to add to my GnR collection like I did the first greatest hits! I just hope its not thats all! I still think its a cover up for something bigger! I dont think it will be the release of Chinese Democracy (although it would be nice!) I am thinking more a cover up for a single maybe! As I keep saying I just think its so fucking weird that there has been no word from Merck or anyone else to do with the band! Mike

I didn't really want to discuss the probability of the fact of CD in disguise (That is the other thread) I wanted this thread to be a poll type of thing. I'm not trying to be an ass or anything but if we carry on the same discussion in two threads one will get locked or they will get merged.

how bout this?

If the album rumored to be released On Dec 20, 2005 is, in fact released as "Chinese Democracy", will you buy it?

A) Yes I'll buy it regardless (I have to keep my GnR Collection complete)
B) I will buy it only if it is CD
C) No I will demand it for a Christmas Present though
D) No I will be broke from Christmas Shopping and will wait til April '06
E) No Axl is an Asshole and I will Never Buy GnR Material Again

[Pandora]

B for me. Collection or not, I'm not buying a second compilation 

[erose]

B for me too, unless there is at least something new, and the band members are actually backing the release...

[Ignatius]

Of Course I'll buy it. If, as you said, the album released is Chinese Democracy I think 99% of the members here will buy it before Christmas.

Maybe you meant if the album released is not Chinese Democracy?

If that's the case, I will only buy if there's new recorded material (a few songs) that we haven't heard yet.

[Neemo]

Oh yeah, B for me too

(unless there are some serious Rarities and B-sides on the second disk But if Band members don't approve of the release again then I'll have to boycott this fucking thing regardless)

[nesquick]

- I didn't buy the "Greatest Hits"
- I won't buy the "very best-of"

I don't care. I just want CHINESE DEMOCRACY.

[Genesis]

I still don't understand why people think CD will be released "disguised" as another album... 
Anyway, A.

because a second greatest hits album is just pure stupidity and it makes no sense what so ever.

plus, people in the band such as dizzy and tommy has stated that it will happen soon, merck has stated that 05 is the year of gn'r, we have already waited for years and years and sooner or later it will come out so why not now, not to mention the theory of calling it GH2 to throw the atention of it until it's actually in the stores, the list goes on and on....

plus i think johan had a few good points in the other thread....

it's actually more logic that it's CD than a new GH so that why some people hope and think that this just might be it.

Sorry Neemo, I got kind of carried away! Mike

P.S I would have to say A but I wish I could say B but I know that I wont be able to stop myself buying it even though another greatest hits will really dissapoint me!

[ppbebe]

B, needless to say. I hope I won't be forced to choose D.
What a folly,  neemo

BTW, Just if it were.

[anythinggoes]

a) for me cant help myself

[Evolution]

a) for me cant help myself

Same here. Might as well keep the GNR name alive

[Izzy]

I will only buy it if it has something new on it - didn't buy the last GH either

[Luigi]

A here too.

[ppbebe]

Then, I bet Izzy will buy it if this one does come out.

[chineseblues]

If it was CD of course id buy it Id actually buy a dozen copies and give them out as presents 

[pilferk]

If it was CD, I'd buy it.

If it becomes apparent that there will be SOME product on the shelves that day, but we never get any sort of real "official" information out of Geffen or Sanctuary...I'll be stopping by my local record store when they open at 9 AM to spec it out.

If we DO get official info, and it turns out it really is a Best of...I'll probably pass unless it contains some sort of rarities or new material.  I own all the albums...why buy it?

Exactly.

I still suspect that unless the release was approved by the band, it won't contain anything previously unreleased material (like Greatest Hits).
