What are the chances of an imminent full album leak?

[PurpleHaze]

Assuming the album is coming out this year then there's not long to go now before it's out so it'd have to be quite far along the late production process. There must be some copies floating about or there will be soon. Loads of albums leak onto torrent networks and what not a few weeks before release (stadium arcadium for example).

Would it not be likely then that the album will pop up on torrents in the coming weeks? I can't see them being able to keep it under wraps.

as long as it wasnt FULL of piano ballads it would probably be the only thing i woudl listen to for the next konth or so.

I actually know someone who works within MTV, and he told me MTV has the album right now, or at least part of it, for preview purposes. I asked him what the point of this is and he said usually it means the company (in this case, Geffen) is coordinating advance reviews.

So, look for an MTV "special exclusive preview" in upcoming weeks.  :p

He also told me a lot of times MTV staff pass some of these things around, and 90% of the time album leaks onto the Internet are because advance reviewers were carless and let someone rip a copy, so who knows, maybe we'll get some songs soon.

I don't want leaks. I want to buy the album and not know most of the songs.

[BucksSpur]

then dont down load them then.

but if they do come out and people pan them well axl will recluse for the rest of his life and universal will have to wrestle all the tracks hes recorded from him and put them out.  :crybaby:

[Geck]

Pshh yeah right.

If they would happen to be leaked, do you think I'm going to sit here and watch the forums explode with threads about the new songs and not listen to them?!

My point was, I want everyone to be surprised the day CD is released  

[Cleopatra2U]

I don't want leaks. I want to buy the album and not know most of the songs.

Wow, Geck, I thought I was the only person who felt this way!  I guess we both like surprises.  

[The Spaghetti Incident?]

Big surprise, there's another GN'R fan on the board

I also know I'm tired of listening to bullshit about people's friends and how they work for MTV.

I really hope this doesn't happen, seeing as it's not long till it's out.

[Lucky]

well we are no more than 13 weeks away from the album, probably 9-10 weeks...
it's a miracle it hasnt leaked already. I think they are crazy enough to pull it off.
we probably might get it 1-2 weeks before, but that wont make any diference... so I guess by mid nov. you'll either be able to download the leak or go and by the real deal.

[lone_metal_rose]

I agree with the ppl who say that they don't want leaks!  I can't see anyone with an ounce of brains actually being careless with this album, so maybe we are in luck!

If that thing about MTV is true then this is great news
