[FAKE] GN'R signing at Chicago's Virgin Megastore - this was a hoax

[shredsolo]

a guy on another forum has posted a picrure which looks official within the chicago virgin megastores about GNR playing and signing there on the 28th of november

im skeptical of this however it does look like the real deal

Taken from albumaday.net:

Rumors have recently been circulating that Guns N Roses long awaited album ?Chinese Democracy? will finally be released on the 28th of November.   A post on the Guns N Roses message board chinesedemocracy.com is as follows:

    First off, I?m not a huge fan but when googling Guns N? Roses board this came up and these posts look recent so I wanted to tip off some fans for something in the works they will love.

    I work at the Virgin Megastore Chicago ?N. Michigan Ave.? and for the past few weeks the manager and some of our higher ups have been in a hush mode about some in-store we have to be ready for on Nov. 28th. Tonight some of us were told that it is confirmed and it will be the ?new? Guns N? Roses for the release of the new album that day. They also said Axl is more than likely not going to be here but ?everyone else?, not sure what that means, will be to sign the new album. I know our manager is still pushing to have them do a performance but I think that would come down to Axl being there, no? I figure this will give you guys a heads up of a few days before it becomes major news.

    What we were told so far:
    -Lining up will only be allowed starting after 6am (this is a Chicago thing)
    -First 500 people are the only ones ?guaranteed?
    -One copy signed per person but they may purchase as many as they would like
    -No other items will be signed
    -No cameras or cellphone cameras will be allowed when nearing the band (this is a common rule that we impose for larger acts)

    Judging by some of the posts on here you guys may call crap or whatever on my post but please do not get me fired and keep this to yourselves. We still have to deny everything until later next week at this point.

    Thanks

Over the last year Axl Rose and the Guns N Roses management have repeatedly stated that Chinese Democracy will be released before the end of the year.  With only a few weeks left in the year, time is running out.  The 28th sounds like a logical choice given the fact that is the busiest shopping weekend of the year.  One thing is for sure? I will believe it when I see it!

Thanks! But now I'm fucking, fucking, fucking scared 'cause couple of nights ago I saw a dream of a record that was grey and it had some kind of a title on an orange background with some centered bold text under it, and it was packed in a large paper case so it looked JUST like that piece of paper in the bigger photo. Jesus.

looks very legit to me! Shame if people start contacting the store and the event subsequently cancelled.

[DeN]

cool. is it a worldwide date ?

[kaasupoltin]

This was already posted

[gnrjanus]

Would be cool if it's true, and in fact it's one of the dates that were being said all over the internet like november 21th  28th,

[crow316]

it seems fishy to me. ?If it was so secret, why post a bulliten that can get copied and put on the internet? ?If its so secret, they wouldnt make the damn notice, they would just not talk about it, especially 2 weeks beforehand. Its fake.

[bushkarocks!!]

ah ok didn't ah well better twice then not

[Christos AG]

I don't know.

Looks like a cool photoshop to me.

If the people who work at some store, are not supposed to talk about something, the store's manager would gather them all, and tell them in person.

Not with some small paper on a wall noone will notice.

I hope I'm wrong though.

[gnrjanus]

We'll If this is true, I'm sure it will be deleted on this board very soon right guys!

Signing... what, AFD? 

[Eazy E]

Look at how the picture conviently shows a bit of the snack machine to make it all look casual... I could print up a paper like that and stick it on the wall of my work too.

If it was faked by me I would've written "signing the new C.D. album".

[mega_music]

Take it with a grain of salt! #1 this could easily be printed off on someones computer, and placed in a dorm hall or work place to make it look legit. #2 if they want this to be so damn secretive then why post it on the cork board? Come on this is screaming BULL-SHIT. I have been around long enough to not believe anything until the day you walk into the record store and see Chinese for yourself.

Looks like a cool photoshop to me.

I think its legit because the text isnt perfectly horizontal.. therefore to me it is indeed a picture of a sign.. rather than a sign thats been created in photoshop.

If the text was perfectly level then it would be unlikely someone took a pic of it that perfectly lined up....

I think its real....
