maybe bumblefoot should get jarmo to run his site

exactly and neither you nor i are gnr nutswingers

cd has been on the news........along with the likes of the president-elect obama, local murder, and thanksgiving tidbits. hanna montana hasn't yet she sells more than gnr..... the masses that purcahse music don't watch the news, they just do what their friends are doing. these kids damn near need to be hit over the head with anything. gnr has yet to get a single on their radio stations. most don't think there is a song like that on this album. i have one specific one in mind and i'll be anxious to see if it happens.

rock n roll was pretty dead in '87 and that's when appetite came out. it took them a while to make it beyond the rock stations and on to the mainstream and it will this time as well. it won't be as big but it may grow a bit.

i'm not making excuses at all, myself. if it fails we'll get more music faster than if it doesn't. we'll get a tour either way, if that is the plan. my points are long but can be summed up by neemo. it's too soon to claim success or failure based on less than a week and i still think the album will last longer on the charts than predicted by a lot of you.

that's sweet but i think people are expecting mainstream success on top of that
