cool, wish i was closer

11/10/2008 | 10:05:42 AM by Sven

I wish I could be there.... Gothenburg is my home city, but I live in Ireland now. Great initiative Tony & Björn. I will make sure to tell all my friends back at home about this.

And thanks for a great website, been following it from the start (though I hardly ever post here) and I enjoy reading all the news and the comments.


11/10/2008 | 10:15:06 AM by Tony / GnrDaily.com

That's very cool fidodido :)

11/10/2008 | 10:34:58 AM by Edut - ROCK BOTTOM

We're a bunch of fans setting up almost the same gig in Denmark. Amazing! Good work Sweeden!!!

11/10/2008 | 10:44:22 AM by ors

Ok Gothenburgers.. I expect real time documentation and reviews of all the new songs. You could also establish some sort of live streaming for us "Norrlänningar". Just make it happen! :)

11/10/2008 | 10:48:24 AM by Tony / GnrDaily.com

Go Denmark :)

"ors" we're looking at live streaming options from the event.

11/10/2008 | 10:50:16 AM by W Axl Rose

I dont even need to promote this cd, my fans will do that. thanks everyone

11/10/2008 | 10:53:20 AM by fake pat

hey tony,

where can we get some gnrdaily.com merch?..i'd love a gnrdaily t-shirt.I have an idea for a custom shirt: "

"dont fuck with fake pat on gnrdaily.com"

11/10/2008 | 10:58:49 AM by ors

Wow, Tony, I did not expect that. Great! Good luck!

11/10/2008 | 11:06:57 AM by Jonathan

Oh, I'll be there!

11/10/2008 | 11:18:59 AM by dude man

Bastards! :P

Oh, and I second that. I'd also buy a fake pat/gnrdaily shirt.

11/10/2008 | 11:37:00 AM by Tony / GnrDaily.com

Great idea Fake Pat!!!

11/10/2008 | 12:17:22 PM by stooH

ah man, im tempted to fly out to Sweden just to go, wonder how much flights are from the UK?

Just downloaded Chinese Democracy single from MSN. Sweet! Chinese Democracy starts in about 10 seconds :-)

11/10/2008 | 12:34:36 PM by fake pat

lol...thanks for humoring me tony..lol..may not be the best slogan for the website.But i'd definetly buy some gnrdaily merchandise.

11/10/2008 | 12:40:16 PM by Axel Foley

Then we know the very latest the real CD will leak is the 21st!!

11/10/2008 | 12:40:22 PM by Tony / GnrDaily.com

Check out Ryan Air, stooH. I'll pick you up at the airport :)

11/10/2008 | 1:17:36 PM by Styrman

I live in Sweden, but not in Gothenburg.
I will wait for it a couple of days, I think...

11/10/2008 | 1:20:07 PM by Me

This is amazing! You guys are so lucky! Make sure you take pics. It looks like a really cool event.

Also, I think the merchandise would be great. I'm thinking a t-shirt with a pic of a Rolling Stone cover with fake pat on it. "GnrDailys Most Wanted " right above it. : )

11/10/2008 | 1:23:56 PM by Pierre

I live 10 minutes from Rockbaren, great news!

11/10/2008 | 1:29:51 PM by Tony / GnrDaily.com

I'm sure there will be loads of pictures from the party.

There will be GnrDaily T-shirts available soon. Rolling Stone cover with fake pat on it, that's brilliant :)

11/10/2008 | 1:31:12 PM by new gnr

“The release of Chinese Democracy marks a historic moment in rock ‘n’ roll,” said Irving Azoff and Andy Gould, Guns N’ Roses’ co-managers, “and we’re launching with a monumental campaign that matches the groundbreaking sound of the album itself. Guns N’ Roses fans have every reason to celebrate, for this is only the beginning.”

still waiting :/

11/10/2008 | 1:33:09 PM by Me

Thanks. I would buy two of those.

11/10/2008 | 2:15:55 PM by Baggio

StooH,

Flights wih ryanair would be pretty cheap man, look into it. www.ryanair.com

11/10/2008 | 2:21:03 PM by stooH

Having seen the news today about the ryan air flight maybe i'll give it a miss... :-/ plus i'm flying out to germany a week later for a football match, the wife might not understand!!

I'll be with you guys in spirit and i'll raise a pint or 2 to you!

And i'm in for the rolling stone/fake pat/gnr daily t-shirt :-)

11/10/2008 | 2:24:39 PM by Tony / GnrDaily.com

stooH, we'll raise a pint or two for you too on friday the 21st :-)

11/10/2008 | 2:38:47 PM by Spanx

This site is awesome! Lovin it lovin it lovin it!
Went to my local Zavvi store here in the UK & they confirmed they will have CD on 24/11 & will have some special promotional stuff too!
Can't sleep, can't eat, can't wait!

11/10/2008 | 3:16:57 PM by split66

Just looked into flights... toooooo complicated... but would love to be there for this with you guys. Have a great time!

11/10/2008 | 3:39:06 PM by Tony / GnrDaily.com

Thanks split66!

11/10/2008 | 3:40:31 PM by ny78ny

i just herd the song scraped. its the song with the verse goes "dont you try and stop us now" then he says something "i just refuse then" the song starts with him saying" some times i feel like the world is on top of me" i wont say where i herd it and i promised myself i wouldnt listen to anymore leaked songs until i pick up my pre-order cd but dude it was right there and i had to take a hit. it was calling me lol. the song is real good kinda like i.r.s but a lilttle softer but not much. the quality sucked but it was the real deal.12 days and counting. good luck hunting haha

11/10/2008 | 3:48:11 PM by ors

ny78ny, If I were you I'd promise myself the same thing. Now you've got about 2 "new" songs to hear in 12 days? :)

11/10/2008 | 3:50:34 PM by Amoses Roses

Awesome! Please - all of you who go there - record some and put it on youtube =)

11/10/2008 | 4:20:21 PM by split66

yo ny78ny. Lots of the people on this site have far more patience and respect for the material on the new cd than you obviously do. Many do not want to know how things start, end, break down, etc. Keep your thoughts and comments to yourself regarding the latest leaks... I for one am not interested in knowing more than I already know about this cd.

11/10/2008 | 4:27:32 PM by Axl

Split....take it easy on Ny78Ny.....this is a forum. He didn't post the leak. If you want everything to be so secretive, why even come on this site??? Log off and see you again on the 24th!

11/10/2008 | 5:05:31 PM by fidodido

11/10/2008 | 5:37:33 PM by Rob22

This is such a cool Idea, I'd love to be at this.

Slane 92, if you hear something happening in Dublin, please let me know!

11/10/2008 | 5:39:23 PM by Rob22

And ye even got mentioned on Blabbermouth!

11/10/2008 | 5:45:03 PM by slane 92

Ahhhhhhh that is gonna rock, I hope it works out for you guys!!

11/10/2008 | 6:07:02 PM by PennyLane

11/10/2008 | 11:13:34 PM by fake pat

fake pat:

gnr daily's most wanted or least wanted..depends on how you look at it lol.

11/11/2008 | 12:20:58 AM by Norwegian Gun

11 days from now, i will have my own listening-event. Not a one-night-only! i will listen to CD every day into the future.

My kids will get a big bag of candy and a map and a "send a postcard!" from me, and the lady in the house will get som money and the car-keys. THEN i will lock the door, i will put my Chinese Democracy in the cd-player, and i will just think that anyone who disturbs me can just FU** OFF!, and i will listen...listen..listen...listen ..listen for a long long time. for so long that when the lady in the house comes home, i'd say "Who are you??"

11/11/2008 | 2:01:18 AM by -

fake pat, you sure like yourself today.

Look at me! Look at me!

11/11/2008 | 2:06:14 AM by fake pat

Yep i cant stop myself..all of 3 or 4 posts in 2 days im in love with myself.

universal australia has 39 trucks driving around australian major cities carrying full size billboards with chinese democracy advertisements on it...

11/11/2008 | 2:09:26 AM by saturnine

HAHA SLUT MEANS ENTIRITY IN SWEDEN HEHE!

11/11/2008 | 2:25:03 AM by Me

Have you seen one of those trucks fake pat? Take a picture and share, damn it!

11/11/2008 | 2:27:14 AM by fake pat

i got an email about it actually..can forward it to you if you like..its quite a cool read.

11/11/2008 | 2:34:03 AM by Me

Please.

11/11/2008 | 3:13:19 AM by fake pat

done..delete away BP

11/11/2008 | 3:24:43 AM by ayrshiregnfnrs

Ahh not long to go now , this last week or so has been pretty hardgoing !! some of the threads have amused me no end i have to say - poor old jp..... for example BP hit a raw nerve there for some reason!! anyway is Chinese Democracy up to par people? havent listened to it yet is my little mind gonna get blown away? nice review by Rolling Stone - fair i think? will be interesting to hear what those fuckwits at uk based NME make of it as they are notorious GNR haters and for all they stand for , but hey wait a minute - fuck them they couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery so who cares !! GNR is back !! by the way GNR of old cannot be touched in all forms but i will give 110% + to the updated band / persona / lineup - they all have talent in their own right and its a new era so be fair and feel free to judge the new album once its released - is that not a valid point ? Everyone please enjoy and be happy!! Slane are you partaking in a pint of the black stuff across the watter by any chance me old son?

11/11/2008 | 3:44:39 AM by Brandon

Fake Pat didn't see any trucks. That is just him dreaming about monster trucks and Axl again. : )

Besides, in Aussie land, GnR needs all the help they can get when AC/DC can't even hit #1 in their own country.

11/11/2008 | 3:47:24 AM by Brandon

What's on the buffet menu for the listening party?

I need to know in order to decide if I should attend. Are we talking a Las Vegas type buffet.....or a regular run of the mill type one???

Inquiring minds want to know. : )

11/11/2008 | 4:10:06 AM by Bill Bailey

Im going to be 32 next month. I have been a GNR fan since the very beginning. I can remember listening to them long before I had my drivers license etc.....I was listening to some GNR tonight while I was at the gym. Specifically I was listening to COMA. The last three minutes of that song are amazing. However, after hearing all but 2 songs off of Chinese Democracy, I can honestly say that if the "new" direction of music is what caused the band to break up, then so be it. The new stuff is just soooo much more complex than anything on AFD. Although the UYI's had some killer songs on it (dont get me wrong, Estranged & Locomotive are probably my all time 2 favorites), I just really feel that the majority of Chinese Democracy just blows everything else away - lyrically and musically. IMO, Rhiad & Shacklers are probably they only songs that could be considered "filler" material. Bottom line is that Axl Rose is the greatest front man ever! Why did this album take 15+ years? Honestly, I don't think the world would have been ready for it. I remember running out and buying the End of Days soundtrack for Oh My God. That was in 1999 and I will be the first to admit that I wasn't a huge fan. However, if you listen to it today, it's genious. Sounds weird, but I think Axl is just a step ahead of everyone else. Chinese Democracy starts soon!!!

11/11/2008 | 4:12:59 AM by fake pat

and cigars...lets not forget cigars old boy..Monster trucks...and a "Lets roll" from axl.

11/11/2008 | 4:13:11 AM by adamjones25

Brandon, AC/DC did get to number one over here (Australia) as well as alot of other Metal/Rock bands this year.. Metallica, Slipknot, Disturbed and others I cant think of right now. Guns N Roses will have no problem, there shows last year sold out in record time..

11/11/2008 | 4:13:28 AM by fake pat

no no wait wait..a cigar between his teeth.

11/11/2008 | 4:21:14 AM by DTJ

Yes this is soo exciting..I only live in Southern California so it will be nothing for me to cruise over to Sweden for this little party..

On a serious note when this album comes out, I'm going to the store buying my favorite pack of camel crushes, a bottle of jack daniels, and just chill for three hours while I enjoy Jack n Axl

11/11/2008 | 4:25:03 AM by Brandon

Hey Adamjones25. Did they get to #1 in the first week of sales? I heard somewhere today that they did not manage a #1 disc in the first week of sales in your neck of the woods. I might have heard wrong.

11/11/2008 | 4:52:05 AM by DomBomb

Anyword on whether or not a music video will be shot for Chinese Democracy? (the single) Although MTV no longer has the same cultural impact as perhaps it did when Axl released UYI - I think a video would still be a good idea. Any thoughts?

11/11/2008 | 5:36:01 AM by xxx

im an idiot
...........

11/11/2008 | 5:52:58 AM by Brandon

Hey "XXX"???

You are aware of this site's policy on posting links to the songs, right????

11/11/2008 | 8:59:33 AM by nando

sorry BP you already have that story up if you got my email, you can ignore it, home sick with a fever so aparently ive lost my mind, Brandon are you a pirate?? i thought only pirates said saavy, Gomer it seems the evil left wing media assholes at Rolling Stone love the album....life is so perplexing when its not just black and white......some liberals like gnr and some dont, i'd be willing to guess its the same with conservatives

11/11/2008 | 10:00:44 AM by D

I THOUGHT WOULD OF BEEN UP ON HERE LAST NIGHT NEW AND FIRST ADD I HAVE SEEN FOR GNR in uk COMPLETLY DIFFERENT TO US A bit weird

11/11/2008 | 1:26:53 PM by stooH

I think what D is trying to say is that last night there was an advert on the telly for chinese democracy in the UK. Some obscure channel like paramount I think, not a main stream terrestial one.

11/11/2008 | 1:53:37 PM by D

YEA PARAMOUNT IT WAS ON

11/11/2008 | 2:52:30 PM by Spanx

Hey D, what time was the ad? I have been really disapointed by the lack of airplay here in the UK. I have only seen one advert in the sun newspaper and the odd article on the bizarre page by some journo who seems to have it in for Axl, so everything he writes is shite!

11/11/2008 | 4:22:47 PM by GnRLIARS

BP, will you be at the event? Brandon, you really going to fly all the way?

11/11/2008 | 5:05:22 PM by GnRLIARS

Chinese Democracy was number 1 on the SIRIUS top 20 on ch. Octane this past weekend

11/11/2008 | 6:09:22 PM by D

ADD AROUND 9:15 SAME THATS ALL I HAVE SEEN ON GNR IN UK MIGHT SEE A VIDEO BEFORE ALBUM I THINK NEXT WEEK OR SO THEY NEED TO TO DO SOMETHING

11/11/2008 | 6:34:45 PM by Jolene

Great work guys, arranging this party! Please post photos from the festivities, it´s a bummer I can´t be there.

11/11/2008 | 9:03:27 PM by AIF

what do the chinese characters mean?

11/11/2008 | 10:16:18 PM by Raschke

Chinese characters mean 'democracy', pronounced 'min - zhu'.

Jealous of the Swedish pre-release party, wish something was happening way down here in NZ.

Maybe I should fly to Brisbane for the weekend.
Aren't a bunch of you drunken yobs headin' down to the local cd store at midnight?

11/11/2008 | 10:22:45 PM by Raschke

Still, with the time zone difference, if someone opens up to sell the cd at midnight here we'll be enjoying CD before you Swedes do.......

11/11/2008 | 10:35:30 PM by Brandon

No, I won't be at the event, GnRLIARS. That is a bit far to travel for a listening party.

11/11/2008 | 11:41:20 PM by Big Pat

Ive been waiting for my first class ticket, but no luck! So Im going to Brandons.

11/12/2008 | 12:15:28 AM by fake pat

i resent that term "drunken yobs" we're more like a pack of drunken classless swine...NZ eh?..choice bro..cook me some fuckin eggs bro.

11/12/2008 | 2:48:43 AM by Aussie Scott

Ha Ha, nice reference to 'Once were Warriors' fake pat. Hey Raschke you are welcome to come to BrisVegas to celebrate. You can meet me at the Cricket on friday at the Gabba to watch Australia win the Test match on the second day (No Comments from you Suyash, fucking got-lucky Indians). Shame the N.Z Prime Minister did not get re-elected - she was such a Hottie! Fake pate had a poster of her on his bedroom wall right next to posters of Axl and himself ...lol....

11/12/2008 | 3:06:03 AM by Aussie Scott

And I havent seen any of those trucks driving around with the CD advertising on it fake pat.?? At JB-HiFi near where I live they have a few posters around their Hard Rock/Metal section but nothing to amazing - a bit dissapointing considering the enormity of the up-coming occasion I thought...

11/12/2008 | 9:03:27 AM by Raschke

Hey, hey, easy boys, I just live in the place.

I don't recommend you waste your money on the cricket Aussie Scott, NZ almost lost to Bangladesh recently. We stand no chance.
At least it'll help give Ricky something to smile about for a change.

Shame about JB-HiFi, I was hoping they might have a midnight opening but no sign of it here either.......

2/18/2010 | 4:55:14 PM by Ferrol

Excuse me. Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected. Help me! I find sites on the topic: Drug interaction wellbutrin inderal zoloft. I found only this - inderal xl. Inderal, it gives starting 'the substance alkaloids. Your disorder will understand as to how thus you should add 'my for exposure beating, inderal.
