Actually. the album has done pretty well, considering. Not unless your standards are ridiculously placed in a fantasy land. But seeing 500,000 (2 million world wide) albums (so far) ain't bad for a 'current' rock album, especially this album. No matter how many people want to label it a failure it isn't. The new direction, though not as successful as it would have been in 02, is not a failure and it isn't because people said no thanks.

And if you're judging by active "posting" on message boards to measure success, these boards were never deader than 03-05. It happens. There's little to talk about, except for Axl's so called interviews where he directly made oldvsnew a topic. And I guarantee you if there was news on a new leak the activity would jump.

I mean you can say no one cares..... But you sure seem to.

And when people bring up the myspace hits it always reminds me of Kartman showing up at youtube to get his internet dollars

Agree completely.

I've always maintained that Robin and Bucket, despite everything, compliment each other perfectly.

Yeah, most people here are big fans of this new "stooge" band.

But welcome anyway.

Unless they can get John 5. Move Ron to Robin's spot a John would fit in perfectly.

I guess the deal with Harley is still on. I thought that was fucked.
