Mysterious Ways - U2

It's a very catchy song.

I would prefer to see some "deeper cuts" from the GNR catalogue, songs like Nightrain, Think about you, Perfect Crime instead of the popular hits.  It would make for a lot more interesting tourney.

Honestly, I think it would have sold the same because it would have still the drawing card of being the album that followed AFD and fans would wonder how the band had progressed.  They would have missed out on the T2 tie in and that would have cost them some sales.

If they would have released UYI as one disc the sales would have definitely been in the 15+ million dollar range.

Good idea, I'm in.  I'm going to be curious on the seedings of the songs.

I'll agree with James here that GNR wasn't big at all from 1993-1997.  I remember a whole bunch of hip hop being "cool" at the time.  In addition, the pop/punk stuff gained popularity such as Green Day's When I Come Around and as previously mentioned by Bono, Oasis exploded in the US along with such bands as SilverChair, Bush, and No Doubt.  I think Pantera and Sepultura became popular during the time period as well and GNR got stuck in no man's land.  They weren't really pop but yet not heavy enough to be considered metal.  Ironically, Aerosmith their idols managed a pretty decent run of success, although that was with the help of the Alicia Silverstone videos and primarily ballad singles.

Popular culture has always been sort of temporal in that what is in one day will be out the next.  It was inevitable that the anti-GNR backlash would occur.  Now the band didn't help themselves with some of their actions. 

Quiz answer is : The Spaghetti Incident
