ChineseDemocracy.Com 2009 Frequently Asked Questions

First of all, WELCOME TO CHINESEDEMOCRACY.COM! You've made it to the Original Deal & Most Copied format GNR forum around and you will be so happy here that you will never want to leave! And if you try then we'll stop you! :D

Your time here will be happy so long as you remember the following things...

Hi! I'm new here!
Welcome dude! You can introduce yourself to the rest of the crazy people here.

What is the Guns N' Roses section for?
It's for discussing the world's greatest band Guns N' Roses. You can discuss anything related to Guns N' Roses, past and present.

Do I need to become a Member to read my News?
No You Don't! In fact... Most of the people who view CD.COM are guests! Some Forums play the game of locking you out to dramatically boost their memberships! We don't play that game with you. If you would like to participate and add to the community - PLEASE DO!! Register Today!!

Oh sweet, hey you know Velvet Revolver are way better than GNR!?
Hold on there skippy! Velvet Revolver are indeed awesome but discussion about them belongs in WAS HERE section but we won't stop you talking about Slash, Duff, Steve, Izzy, Buckethead or anyone else who was in GNR in the Guns N' Roses section so long as it's about their time in GNR .

You mean like how Slash is waaaay better than that goth Robin Finck?
No, don't post "new vs old" threads. It's an old and tired argument which only leads to bad feelings amongst us all. Anyway, Robin would win.

What about how Slash is waaaay better than Izzy?
No, don't post "member vs member" threads. We have one million threads like these already... just use the search button.

I have this website of my own, it's okay for me to clutter up your nice Guns N' Roses News section by posting threads about it, right?
No, while your site may be about GNR it is not exactly worthy news or discussion. If you want, you can make a thread  here: General Support & Advertise.


I just found out about this IRS leak, can I have it/post a link to it?
No, we've been asked by GNR's management not allow it on the forums and we will delete any links to it and slap you about a bit if you do.

But...
NO!

Hey, this guy is retarded! He can't even write English, he's a fag!
No he's not. Chinesedemocracy.com is so awesome that we attract members from across the globe, some of these people are not native English speakers but they do their best. We even have special foreign language sections for them because we love you all. I'm willing to bet his English is better than your Portugese, Spanish or Austrian.

Diversity is key! We strictly forbid bashing of members because you do not agree with their culture or location on this planet. Be smart and think your posts through.

Your mods did something to my excellent thread/post! You're all assholes!
Yes we are. But are you sure your post/thread wasn't breaking one of the rules?

When is Chinese Democracy coming out?
Oh you didn't hear??? AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE??? j/k...Chinese Democracy is out! It was released on November 23rd 2008 and you can find more information about the album and discuss the new songs a production here

Who is in GNR nowadays? It's hard to keep track
Vocals - Axl Rose
Bass - Tommy Stinson
Lead Guitar - Robin Finck
Lead Guitar - Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal
Rhythmn Guitar - Richard Fortus
Drums - Brian 'Brain' Mantia
Drums - Frank Ferrer
Piano/Keyboards/Bongos - Dizzy Reed
Keyboard/Effects - Chris Pittman

Buckethead was there for a while but he left for some reason.

Side Projects
It is true that some band members are working on some side projects. So if you are interested in posting or reading about Bumblefoot's solo albums, Richard's live appearances, Robin's contribution on NIN album, Dizzy and his live shows with Hookers & Blow and so on... feel free to visit the SIDE PROJECTS section

This guy says Coma was on Live Era '87-'93! He's a fucking liar, right?
Coma was on the Japanese version of Live Era.  Yet another reason to hate Japan.

I'm looking for some bootlegs, got any?
Downloads and files don't belong here. They belong in Downloads.

GUNSNROSES.US & CD.COM Media
Historically, has shared more GNR Media than anybody! This includes Exclusive Rare Content, Video Projects, & More. Also Check:The Tracker.

Complaints & Concerns:
Do NOT post your complaints in the open forum. PM/Email BP or blueheart or a MOD so we can discuss ways to address it at the next meeting. Patience is Key! Feel Free to Praise us through PM or Email!!!

Abusing Our PM System:
From time to time there have been people who have used our PM system to promote a product or to promote their website. Please let BP know right away so this party can be banned for life & without notice. Also PM'ing people who you don't know with messages harrassing in nature is strictly forbidden.

I'm looking for Better, IRS and There Was A Time. Do you know where I can get them?
By request of GNR's management any links to the leaked tracks will be removed.  Any requests will be lock and people who continue to post links to them may feel my toe up their arse.

Racism
Lets be clear. You don't use the 'N' word in this forum. Don't be cute. Don't be sneaky. Just don't do it. You will show respect to all races and this forum has them all. If you don't like it... leave now. Any other racist remarks in any form or any cute way and you will be banned.

Insults
Insults to other board members at the main GNR section or at any other section are not allowed. If you feel like bashing somebody e.g. because he has an unreleased song of CD and he doesn't want to share it, be careful before posting. However there is The Garden , the uncensored section of our forum

Bitching
True fans are in full support of the band... insults, bitching, slander etc has NO PLACE here.

Update:

About the leaks: GNR recently tells us:

are you using Internet Explorer? this is caused by broken component (ActiveX, Java) in your Windows\Downloaded Program Files directory.

this is the solution (I don't have english IE so maybe this is not 100% exact but you get the trace):

in your IE, open its preferences, and go to Temporary Internet Files menu.

Delete cookies - OK
Remove files, check Also offline files - OK
Settings button, Tools, show objects - find in Status column anything what's broken or unknown and delete that.

Restart IE.

for any moderator with english IE, please correct me if neccessary
