Yeah it's good analogy but just last night the new Charlie Brown Christmas was on, not the original so the Charlie Brown legacy is not over, it's certainly not the same but it's continuing on. Axl should do the same thing, I do believe that Baz has a point that it's not all Axl but we will never know unless we get some sort of official info regarding what the status is of CD at this time.

I think you and DTJ are correct about GNR fans just downloading the three songs. It would have been very interesting to see the difference in sales had the three songs with Axl not been available as independant downloads.
You hit on something else I've been thinking about Mikkamakka and that is how will this effect Axl? He has been (at least seemingly) very reluctant to release Chinese Democracy and I believe it is because his name is so much at risk on this project at this point. A mediocre selling cd would be a huge slap to his ego. Baz's record not selling well could be another "reason" to delay CD in his mind. On the flip side if Axl was to find the three songs he sang on were downloaded heavily, this may give him a boost. I would really like to see the number of downloads for these three songs vs the album as a whole.
God, I hope this isn't going to be a hit to his ego. I mean if anyone knows about all the downloading, it's Axl and I would think he would expect that from his fans. From his own mouth at the first Hammerstein show, "Downloading Mutherfuckers". I would love to see the numbers of that as well, it's just something we'll never know.
On the boards he has received nothing but positive comments so I hope he listens to that, rather then the sales.

Wow, that is fucked. I applaud the guy Sinn for stopping it but he could have chose other means to get the ax away from the guy.

That is really scarey when you get involved with a psychopath and then they kill you

I think that Axl wasn't enough to carry this album. Most people aren't going to buy a Bach album if they are just interested in Axl, when you can download the 3 songs off the internet. That's the reality of downloading, can't really get a true sense of how many people just have the 3 songs that Axl was on, opposed to the entire album.
If the songs were not available to download, I wonder if it could have done better on the Axl factor alone.
#1277 Re: Guns N' Roses » Angel Down Released Today » 988 weeks ago
WOW, I didn't expect that, I totally thought it would do better.
Even tho Axl was a definite coo on the album, it's not GNR. CD has waaay to much curiosity factor alone.
If you think about it, combine all of the members on each GNR forum, it's waay more then 6400 people so it's definitely going to sell more then that, also I think GNR would definitely be in the top 100. Unfortunately even tho Axl was on the record, Baz is a tough sell considering he is always being accused of being a has been by alot of people.
GNR I think and no disrespect to BAZ and his band, they are in a different league.
