I doubt he will get the time of day from any of those outlets you've mentioned and i doubt he will get funding for a video, I'd bet thats the reason that Baz has funded this thing largely on his own in the first place. The genre is virtually no existant at the moment, nobody is willing to invest in it, however if it was a reunited SR, things may be a bit different....maybe, but that would be based on pure nostalgia
You could be right, although you have to think, he was on Supergroup, he was on that Rap Show and he is always on those 80's metal shows commenting so they do value him.
I gotta ask Acekicken what the deal is with the videos, by what I have read on the Baz board, there could be a video in the works for By Your Side. I'd rather him comment, or I'll check the board again and get the info.

Oh man that is really messed up. I guess he was stalking her and threatening her huh?
I am sure it had to suck to be on the stand and get asked questions about your friend and you had to answer truthfully.
Oh god yeah. And this wasn't just some guy I knew. I've known him for roughly 1 years. I met my wife through a woman he once dated and he stood in our wedding! And on top of all of that, the girl he lost it over was an ex-girlfriend of my little brothers from years ago. It's all very strange but he never knew her when my little brother dated her years ago. He was all happy go lucky when he met this new chick and as he was telling me more about her I figured out who it was. I was never a really big fan of hers but I put up with it for the 3 years they were together. Then to top it all off, I end up having to go to court to testify FOR HER because it was the right thing to do.
Well the words of my dad ring in my head...."you have to always, do the right thing"
Do you still see him now?

We've had topics on this subject before, as long as it's not crazy insulting the topic can stay open.

anyway those numbers are higher than i anticipated they would be, but i'd be willing to wager that the fanbase is run dry already so the only direction for the album to go in the charts is down, Baz just isnt a big Draw anymore, yeah hes a fantastic singer, but the style he does, isnt one that is sought after these days....
I bet if Skid Row reunited that they would move 20,000 units in the first week
i'm kidding i know those guys will not reunite any time soon
What I don't get is this sounds pretty much like old Skid Row if not better or a bit heavier. The overall sounds of the two bands with Baz singing sound pretty similiar, the music hadn't changed drastically to not like this if you liked old Skid Row.
you missed the part that i have bolded
This style isnt "cool" for most kids these days, and they are the ones who are the main music buyers, yes it may be a good throwback for people into 80's metal, but even most of the fans from back when SkidRow was considered cool have moved on to different music tastes, like me for instance, Baz just doesnt do it for me anymore, i have no interest in angel down, even with Axl on it, the next "axl" merch i buy will be chinese democracy....CD or bust
True, maybe the kids of today don't like the sound of 80 metal but maybe as much as he promoted, it just didn't reach the kids. He needs to do more MTV, Fuse and VH1 having to do with his music. Video's could make a difference.
I dunno, like Russ said, I have the album and I enjoy it, low numbers doesn't make it any less enjoyable.
Although I am sure it hurts him in the pocket.

Maybe on the surface it isn't different. The songwriting is terrible from the little bit that I've heard and I've yet to see anyone that has listened to the whole thing say differently. Just because it "sounds" as good or better than Skid Row doesn't mean it really is. A technically advanced guitar player can make a crappy song sound better than it really is (isn't that right Buckethead fans?).
That's what kills me. So it's not Skid Row, it's Sebastian Bach and like it or not he was the signature sound of Skid Row, what makes this really different if a person really liked the old Skid Row. Why not like this album, I don't get it.

This isn't 1991, Baz is more famous these days for appearing on reality TV shows that very few people watch.
I don't mean that, I mean the music itself. There have been people I have seen post that they only like the old skid row and how great it was but this version of it, isn't all that different.

_____________________________________________________________We're noticing a stocking issue where stores are selling out.
We need to know the store, store number if you can get it, city and state where you are having any problems finding the record.Not a bad problem to have, but a problem nonetheless.
Thanks
________________________________________________________-Funny when we sent this info to Blabbermouth they did not
post it.. Yet at the end of the week they are posting a lo sales margin.
Well that goes to show the thinking of the people that run Blabbermouth. That news was not worthy enough, low sales are. It's all about the people running the site picking and choosing what to relay to the public on a site such as that unfortunately.
