Arguing about who's assumptions are right? C'mon....
#11102 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Bumblefoot Interview In Polish Rock Magazine » 909 weeks ago
I do think these guys have a lot more pull with Axl about the music than NIN, or anyone associated with that band has with Trent. That's why I can say its a band.
The business aspect, the final word, and all that. It's definitely the Axl Rose show.

#11104 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot guest on Hannity (Fox News) » 909 weeks ago
I could have seen him on Rachel Maddow... But Hannity? 
Who would have thought Ron would be the face of GNR.

RT : That's just part of the whole negative crap that's part of the baggage of being a new Guns N' Roses. That whole thing of blah blah blah, they're just hired guns... blah blah blah... they're not the original members blah blah blah you're not my real mommy, blah blah blah
That was pretty funny

#11107 Re: Guns N' Roses » Trent Blasts Axl In New Interview » 910 weeks ago
Trent blasts everyone, eventually. I love NIN but the guy is and pretty much always has been a prick. Not too many people, outside, a) depend on him for a/the gig, or b) kiss his ass, really like him from what I can tell.

GH sold in excess of 4 million copies in the US alone and in the top 200 for 138 weeks
CD sold around 500k in the USA and was out of the top 200 inside of 20 weeks....BIG difference..
I know i'm only going by US sales, but nowhere else has worldwide sales been cited as a measure of financial success, CD is the first i've heard of that
as to it not being a new record...its a shame that Axl didnt release it on the heals of the GH release, then there may have been some interest to help boost its sales. for comparisons Death magnetic has sold in excess of 1.7 million and Black Ice has sold over 2 million
but hey a 1/4 of those #'s are good enough for gnr "all things considered" right? dont try to sugarcoat it I dunno why some people still can't accept that it drastically underacheived
Why are you comparing GH with CD? My whole point is that GH's are not like releasing an album and you can't compare the 2. ie: why no one calls the Eagles Best Of the biggest selling album of all time, even though its sold more than Thriller. Of course GH's would do very well. Most GH's do... I'm not understanding why you quoted that 
Well, *this* 'some people' was never saying CD wasn't underachieving sells wise. Just posted about it in this very thread... My point is that CD is not a flop. If no one is getting my point now, either I have done a very poor job explaining it or a few people just aren't getting it. 500,000 copies sold is not a flop. I don't care where it is. Not every band goes gold. Its very hard, especially in these days. Even harder for a rock band. Is CD underachieving sells wise? YES!!!!!! I never said oitherwise. But it is not a flop. Which has been the whole friggin argument.
And if money is what drives a GNR reunion: The shows would suck and so would the album. The one thing that made original GNR great, warts and all, is exactly the opposite of what everyones keys to a reunion would be. Enjoy your crystal Pepsi.
#11109 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Chart Positions Thread » 910 weeks ago
All or nothing attitude? You keep bringing it up! It's all a matter of taste, yet you've been bringing up the "He just plays fast and isn't soulful" bullshit for years. These arguments always seem to stem from you.
EDIT: Blah. I'm just in a shit mood. Sorry. No offense, D.
#11110 Re: Guns N' Roses » Revisiting the Billboard Interview » 910 weeks ago
D - 3 million copies of an album full of already established hits and rock classics is NOT THE SAME AS A NEW RECORD.
The Eagles... God I'm tired of mentioning them... Keep bitching about having the biggest selling album of all time, but its their best of and nobody counts those as an actual album... Because its not.
And I haven't seen anything in an interview that would show me Slash or Axl would whore themselves out for money to sell a record.
