CHINESE DEMOCRACY: THE PROMOTION

[Fenderjaguar213]

I Hate Having To Hear About All These People Moaning And Fucking Groaning About How Nothing Has Been Done For The Upcoming Chinese Democracy."WHERES THE FUCKING SINGLE, WHERES THE TV ADVERTS, WHERES THE MTV APPEARENCES".

In Case You Havent Noticed You Fucks, The Leaks WERE The Promotion.

 Instead Of Using The Whole Fucking Corporate Sell Out Way Of Promoting An Album, They've Shrouded The Album In Mystery So More People Will Get Intrested In It.

Plus Geffen Is Probably More Than Fucking Pissed Off About The Album, Costing Something Like $13,000,000, The Last Thing There Gonna Do Is Put More Money Into The Most Expensive Album Never Made.

The Sex Pistols, Ramones, Radiohead All Poped Out Of Fucking Nowhere And Now Are All Probably The Most Influential Bands EVER. Conspiracy Theories Can Keep Going On For as Long As They Want Because Most Of Them Never Get Answered, And Make People Take Notice Of Them. Half The People On This Forum Probably Only Realised That Guns N Roses Were Still Going AFTER The Leaks. Notice MYSTERY+ NO ANSWER = SALES X 100,00000000000000.

true, some bands don't need promotion... when pearl jam released versus, they specifically decided to NOT do any promotion at all for the album, and their "non-promotion" was their promotion, and they sold 950,000 copies in the first week, setting a record at the time...  however, when limp bizkit released the unquetionable truth pt. 1 last year, fred durst thought he'd be sweet and decided to not do any promotion or tour for the album and they sold like 4 copies, and now they're done as a band...  i, for one, think g'n'r is obviously in the versus section...  and yeah, the leaks were awesome promotion in and of themselves...

and a great promotion it was....
all 50 of us who downloaded the leaks will buy the album...
you can't beat that!!!
I bet VR would like to sell 50 albums... but they cant.

P.S. when you spent 13 mill. on a album, you don't mind spending an extra 100 000 if it would help earn you a million more.

fenderjaguar213 no need to be so rude about it.

and i hate to disagree with your promotion idea.

this is the CD that Axl has mastered and he wants to show the world what he can do.

I dont think the leaks were the promotion cos only real fans of GNR know them and have heard them.

I think the leaks were a way to find out what people thought of the new stuff.

The promotion my guess will be a single before the realease of the cd and of course the tour of europe

just my guess thats all

[chineseroses]

here we go again  :angry:

No body knows whats going on with teh promotion, the leaks may of been made by Axl, more than likely not. Whichever way their still has to be a promotion for this, maybe the festivals were promotion because now people like Kerrang, who sponsor download have been announcing that Guns n Roses are back at every opotunity they get.

what ever it is no-one knows but it would be virtual suicide if they just release it, although there is enough attention, no-one is going to take the risk of letting a 13 million dollar album flop because of under promotion.

[L@dyRoSe]

the leaks were a mistake faggats

[chinese_democracy_]

after the amount of money spent on the album do they really have the money for promotions??

[chineseroses]

after the amount of money spent on the album do they really have the money for promotions??

yes, if they make £10 proffit from each CD sold, it only takes 1.3 million Cds to make the money back, aswell as money from the tour.

[Dust N' Bones]

the leaks were a mistake faggats

I agree!

And what you say Fenderjaguar213, about some bands dont need promotion, may be true.... That is, if someone dig up John Lennon and Gerge Harrison, put 'em back to life, and made a Beatles reunion CD.

But the problem is that the "Average Joe" actually think that Gn'R was a 80's thing, and they dont exist anymore.

Sure it may see obscene for the Die Hard Gn'R fan, but thats a fact.
And some of you may say: "Fuck the average hiphop joe! We dont need 'em! I dont want 'em to buy the album! The Chinese Democracy cd is dedicated to the real fans!"


But do you really think the album will be a bestseller if only the die hard fans will purchase it? I dont think Geffen Records are that stupid!

[CITR]

the leaks were a mistake faggats

I agreed too.

[F*ck Fear]

I highly doubt that Axl or Guns had anything to do with the leaks.
When the album is ready for release,I bet we will see all the things you said we won't,like TV adverts,and a single. It's the way things are done.

[misterbrownstone]

it was denied by Mercky Merck that the leaks were from Guns camp.

also, the Sex Pistols were advertised in many stores (for instance the store 'Sex' and a couple others) in the US and Britain BEFORE the release of Nevermind the Bollocks.

also, if you put a comma in the 100,00000000000000, but not anywhere else in it, it looks bad and is pointless.

Plus, You Don't Need To Capitalize Every Mother Fucking Letter In The Entire Sentence, Just The First Word In Each Sentence.

I Say God Damn.

you gotta add into account that the artist only gets a percentage of that cuz they gotta pay producers, graphics artists, n all those ppl

Yeah, i agree that shrouding an album in mystery is a good way of selling something if you are hot but not if you have taken a 13 year sabbatical. If you ask anybody between the ages of 14-25 (the demographic with the highest record buying potential) in the street if they know who gnr are they will probably say no. I am glad that you have shown such a keen appreciation for advanced maths but heres a question for you: How does the record company make $13 million dollars back?, sell it for £60 a record, no one will buy it. Are you gonna buy about 20 copies of the record in that case? ps insulting people when there is no consequence is pathetic. One day you will say that to the wrong person to their face and you'll wake up a&e.

[patbateman666]

gnr wont see much of the album sales. merch royalties & tour is the crop

how long does it take you to capitalize every single word?

[Fenderjaguar213]

Please Can You Shut The Fuck Up About The Capitalizing??????????
It Case You Want To Know Why I Do It, It's Cuz It Makes Me Type Faster, I Don't Know Why It Just Does, It's About As Mysterious As Chineses Dems Realease Date.

 And Whoever Said "The Leaks Were a Mistake Faggort", So I.R.S, The Blues, CITR Werent Good Enough For You???
There Mistakes????? Well There Awesome Sounding Mistakes You Fucking Retard.

 The Leaks Didnt Come From GNR I Know, But They Havent Sabotaged The Band At All, These Songs Are Being Played On Alot of Radio Stations Or At Least Being Mentioned, And Before A Festival Tour These Songs  Are Gonna Back Them Up In One Way Or The Other. And THE FUCKING LEAKS DIDNT PROLONG THE REALEASE OF CHINESE DEM.      

[2NaFish]

whether it helps you type faster or not, it is very annoying to read large chunks of it and gives me and others a headache. It is simply poor nettiquette.

please stop doing it and write like any other forum user would

[nemo]

i don't think the leaks were intended as album promotion, but i do think they were intentional, i mean, you don't want to headline a festival infront of 80,000 people and play a load of songs that no-one knows any of the words to

Oh please! Go and fuck your self!!

When the dude/dudette said the leaks where a mistake, he/she didnt meant they where bad songs!

Mistake as in: The leaks never should had leaked out on the web in the first place!!

[m1$|-|0]

"In Case You Havent Noticed You Fucks, The Leaks WERE The Promotion."
Leaks arent promotion there samples, but in some way i guess they are but i think hes doing this one purpose like i think one day where gonna walk into best buy not knowing anything as usual and then there it'll be standing in all its glory and ill go nuts

[bi0h4z4rd]

the leaks were a mistake faggats

Can't even spell faggot correctly lol

[elysianfields]

nstead Of Using The Whole Fucking Corporate Sell Out Way Of Promoting An Album, They've Shrouded The Album In Mystery So More People Will Get Intrested In It.

yes because shrouding an album in mystery and near complete obscurity is a great way to promote to the average person, who believe it or not is not a crater faced 20 something who is overly obsessed with gnr reading and checking the forums every ten minutes for news and bullshit rumors. you make me sick  

[Bluest ii]

Well, on a positive note, it beats hanging out at the local mall and gettn' into mischief
