#1141 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Voted Classic Rock Magazine Album Of The Year 2007! » 959 weeks ago
Did classic rock, not also here "Atlas Shrugged", "Silkworms", "Ryiad", "Prostitute", along with the other demos.
Wasn't that article/editor guy Neemo was replying too, when they asked the article to be took down...?
Either way I think this is cool... And people should be happy
.
Yup.
They don't have to give two shits about GN'R. But they do, and I think thats good. Once the media stop caring at all, that really could be the nail in the coffin for GN'R.

They also voted 'Better', 'Chinese Democracy' and 'The Blues' in their top 200 songs of the year.
I genuinely think they like the leaks and are trying to gently prod Axl into releasing the album. A bit like I think Bach is.
#1143 Re: Guns N' Roses » How will the delays effect C.D.'s sales? » 960 weeks ago
I honestly think another 6-8 month 'silent' period with no definite release date most 'hard core' fans will just give up and find somewhere else to place their loyalty. The public might give a shit, but the music will have to be good and Axl will have to get out there and promote the damn thing
#1144 Re: Guns N' Roses » Another Year Almost Gone By » 960 weeks ago
The whole 'Mysteron' thing used to be vaguely interesting in the Dark Ages of GNR, almost like a glow worm keeping the feint hope of a new GNR album alive. Now it just seems a bit childish to me. I just don't get what the point of him/her is - if there was something to say then the band could say it, if there's nothing interesting then just keep your mouth shut.
But I guess they like it that way, to keep people coming back
#1145 Re: Guns N' Roses » Another Baz interview, couple of interesting things » 961 weeks ago
The cynical part of me thinks that Axl is drip feeding information through Baz to the fan base.
One thing I'd love to know is whether Axl is up for doing interviews and general PR. The record must expect him to do this, maybe he doesn't want to and that is causing some of the disagreements.
At least its good news to know the record company are engaged at some level.

'We had to play music that we recorded together for Jimmy Iovine, who is the head of Interscope, who has Axl signed, and he loved it when he could've said, "No." So Jimmy knew how important it was to Axl and said yes'.
I guess this was referring to the Angel Down songs not 'Sorry'.
Finger's crossed we'll hear something soon. An announcement of a four album staged release would be about whats needed in my opinion to get people interested.
#1147 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy given a Feb. 12 release date on Amazon UK » 961 weeks ago
From an accounting standpoint, I wonder how Amazon recognizes revenue. You'd think it'd be foolish on their part to set up an unearned revenue liability whenever they say an item is available for pre-order, because every year they're making the liability grow. Unless they are also setting up a prepaid expense for ordering the album or something. However they're doing it, it's backwards until the album actually comes out. They could even offer albums for pre-order to overstate their revenue and make it look like they're earning more than they actually are. It's silly.
Given the length of time its taken to get to market, they're probably expecting to defer their revenue over a 10yr time period or so, to account for any unforeseen and highly probable delays in the CD getting from record company to record plant to warehouse to local store.

#1149 Re: Guns N' Roses » Angel Down Released Today » 961 weeks ago
