Re: msl.com, anyone still following it? Has a release date prediction.
Dunno if anyone still check's MSL's site, but I haven't seen this posted here so I thought I'd share:
the events of the last week have really changed the GNR landscape when it comes to the hoarding of information and material. the more fernando attacked me, the more people i had emailing in to say that they'd received songs from him in the past. the more azoff threatened journalists, the more people i had emailing in with stories their editors were prohibiting them from writing.
i've had to sit on this story a day or two longer than i would have liked as it took quite a bit of time to double source the facts. however, after speaking to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, mistersaintlaurent.com is pleased to report the following:
the current intended release date for CHINESE DEMOCRACY is november 25, 2008. it is azoff's strong preference that the release be done through best buy and not wal-mart. i've been told his reasoning is two-fold. #1, azoff's goal is to be able to create future bidding wars between the two retail giants for his other acts and feels best buy will lose interest in these type of promotions if they always lose out to wal-mart. #2, if he goes with wal-mart, he has to convince axl to swap a couple of tracks from volume 1 with tracks from the other volumes to avoid the dreaded parental advisory warning.
i was also told that the story was leaked by azoff to put pressure on best buy to up their offer and close the deal. it's no coincidence that this story hit right before wal-mart's AC/DC deal was finally publically announced. it is azoff's hope that fear of ending up with egg on their face will force best buy to roll out the red carpet in every imaginable way for chinese democracy.

I find it very hard to believe that Axl would change the tracklisting this late in the game. With all the assumed control over CD that we believe Axl has, I could easily see him telling the record company to shove it before he lets them change his album. But who's to say he has any control anymore if he did actually turn it in.
One thing I could see Azoff trying to do is something along the lines of what Kid Rock did with his most recent album. It wasnt just one retail exclusive, they each had their won bonus tracks. Best Buy had had one specific bonus track plus a live cut from his most recent tour. Target had another different bonus track. The original hope was that people would buy two different versions to get both tracks, but of course people just bought the one then downloaded the other bonus cuts.
