i am not saying it's not true but, again, it's different everyhwere. kinda like the single being played to death on some radio stations and others not being willing to play it at all.

cd has been on the news, all over the internet, tons of in store promo at a lot of the best buys, commercails on the radio, commericals on tv, dr pepper, etc.

the cd is being promoted just fine

and 15 mil now? where did that come from. it's been 13mil since axl was cut off. that reminds me................

ATTENTION TO ALL: IT DID NOT COST 13 OR 15 MILLION DOLLARS TO MAKE CHINESE DEMOCRACY!!!!!

there is obviously a lot of material that came out of the recording process that we have not even heard of in addition to the many additional rumored songs we have. i think it's safe to assume the label didn't extend any additional 13 or 15 million dollars multiplied by two for the additional 2 album's worth of material on top of the 13 mil you claim they spent on cd alone.

so unless axl/gnr is gonna praised for making additional albums at zero cost stop feeding the bullshit machine.

scraped is not loved by many compared to the other songs
go to any thread based on putting these songs in order of priority and it will be on the bottom of every list. it's the least popular song on the album.

everyone has their favorites. i like scraped too but i accept that it is not axl's pride and joy. look at all the songs we heard about over the years, subtract shacklers and scraped and that's about all of them

it's not a problem olorin - it was inentional. to me, appetite has two songs that are filler: you're crazy and anything goes. yet appetite is regarded as a perfect album. every album has filler. i like scraped but i called it filler becasue it will not be on the radio and not because it not catchy but because it brings nothing exceptional to the table but people can still love it just the same and some people will. they could have left scraped off of the album but they didn't. there is something for everyone on this album and it is intentionally designed that way. that doesn't mean that it isn't filler and it doesn't mean that it is a bad song or album. music preference is subjective and if more people liked scraped there would have been more songs like it on the album but more people tend to like twat and sorry so we get more of these and thank god

higher standards? you are something else, buzz.
ever seen a trainwreck?.........destroyed train and track, damage to anything in the area like forest or buildings, deaths, etc.

do any of these things sound like axl?

if i say no it's not because i have low standards it's because it's an unfitting analogy.

i am not denying axl's wierd behavior but is it going to stop you or anyone else from buying the album?

is it really synonomous with a trainwreck?

i also have a question for anyone saying axl went awol: axl has been seen in public and has reportedly turned down an interview with mtv. does this sound like someone who is awol? or someone that simply is not ready to make a big deal of himself at the moment?

as far as a reunion for this show. the only way it is possible is if the old band is willing play a new song and if everyone else is onboard, obviously. how rediculous would it be to go back to playing old material the day the new material comes out and in supprt of it. obviously, a reunion will push sales to the extreme but the timing is not right if htye are going to play jungle or paradise city.

"to all of you young and potentially new fans out there: go buy our brand new album, chinese democracy, which is in stores now. In the mean time, here is a bunch of songs you have all already heard."
