Re: Who has the album and when did you get it?
Bought it yesterday (Saturday afternoon) from a Helsinki supermarket. They had a nice pile stacked up on the counter.
I'd imagined it would've been available today, so it was a nice surprise.
It felt... not much. A certain sense of closure, as a certain era finally drew to a close. Pretty much like walking into a record and finding any other record there.
So, I ended up picking mine up the Merck way.

Re: Who has the album and when did you get it?
Just curious how those of you who have the CD felt when you actually had it in your hand. Sigh of relief, excitement, was there a letdown knowing it's over?
I bought it Friday morning (21st) when my local JB finally got my preorder in. It was surreal to have it there to be honest. Like I kept looking at it sitting on my desk in disbelief.
I'm not disapointed because I love the songs and I would have been sad if Axl had gone to the grave keeping them, and we never got to hear a final version of these things.
However after years of listening to them ourselves...songs like maddy that were played live and leaked, it's wierd to me to think that they're finally public. You know...like when I talk about a song, say, Catcher in the Rye..or TWAT...it's no longer just something that only us few geeks will understand or know...now there is potential for "normal" people to have heard the songs too. And that, while awesome, will take some getting used to!

I think I had all those feelings combined. No tears shed yet though. Although "This I Love" is a heavy song (emotionally). I could see that one getting to me, under the right circumstances.
Re: Who has the album and when did you get it?
Just went to best buy and picked it up!!!! I was blasting CD (the song) through my car with the windows down when I was rolling into the parking lot. People were looking at me kinda awkward. I don't know if it was because I was playing the song loud or that I had my windows down in 20 degree weather.
