apparently cd's pre-orders are selling more than any other cds on the shelves

so far, everyone but one i ask that has heard it likes it. we'd have to interview hundreds of people to really get an accurate consensus though. when it comes right down to it, a few people out of ten is a really good number for any artist. what i am hearing a lot of is i didn't know it was out yet, i'll go check it out. more promo is definitely due.
also , keep in mind a lot of listeners have never heard of chinese democracy or even gnr so in that regard they are starting over from scratch and this could be considered their first release. welcome to the jungle didn't catch on until several weeks after it was released. cd will fly under the radar for some at first. more time, promo, and music will, hopefully solve that as well.

So you can't prove it? Thank you and good day.
you too and have fun in that fetal position you just crawled back into like our last pleasant encounter

You do realize both of you sound like a bunch of idiots arguing over NOTHING.
that wasn't very nice

calssic response in classic form, BUZZ. if you want proof. go listen to the radio or read the online reviews. you won't find reviews like the ones you just gave. my examples are accurate, that was the point, i wasn't manufacturing them to build up and promote the song. i was writing examples, that closely simulate the ones i have heard and read, out as a teaching to tool for you to better understand the words 'objective and 'constructive. i clearly should have posted actual examples and thought about it but you are not worth the effort anyways for you are never willing to admit fault and let others inpact you in a positive manner.

As far as 'cheating' results, as already stated a LOT of fans do this. Sometimes with prodding from the artist themselves. When Paper Planes cracked the top 10 on Itunes, MIA practically begged for fans to buy it on there and spread the word. It immediately shot up to number 2(couldn't beat Rihanna).
We'll see a similar move with this track if it ever goes on sale as a single. What separates that example from this radio stuff is people have to do the talking with their wallets. Calling a DJ 50 times is different than buying a track 50 times.
thank you for pointing that out because it is very true yet, despite it seeming to be obvious, some people don't seem to wanna get it. "realists" should understand that this is a reailty of the world.

the positive reviews are unanimously more objective and acually point out the reasons they like and dislike certain aspects to the song.
the negative reviews are shorter much more subjective and irresponsible.
What a joke - they are more objective? Give me a break. The only opinion that is valid is the one that agrees with you? Bullshit. It's funny that the same people that claim every opinion is valid when it works for them are now claiming the exact opposite when it works against them. You are all a bunch of hypocrits.
The song is in the top 5 because the internet idiots are plugging it, not because the general public wants to hear it. You want proof? Go to EVERY GnR forum and you'll find at least 1 thread pushing people to vote for the songs and followed by posts of people proud that they did so. But all those votes in your mind are real and people really want to hear the song? Now who's being irresponsible?
as usual you blindly disagree when someone says something you are not willing to consider and without looking at the facts.
let's simplify things for you buzz, k?
here's a little exercise for you..i want you to pick out which statement is more objective and constructive and unbiased and which one resembles 90 persent of the song's negative reviews.
1. gnr's new song chinese democracy sucks. where's slash?
2. gnr's new song chinese democracy starts of with a creepy build up to a slightly industrial guitar riff that leads way to the first verse, "It don't really matter, You're gonna find out for yourself." It's pretty straight forward song structure wise with a lot going on in the background. It lack's a catchy chorus but makes up for it with fearless purpose. The vocals are ferocious and have the attitude of the old axl that once sang "it's so easy when everybody's trying to please me, baby" but the lyrics are at times hard to make out due to the layering of several vocal tracks. the guitar work is dynamic and the song leaves you wondering what the rest of the album will sound like.
like i said the more positive review is the longer and more objective and this is what i am reading/hearing unanimously.

i have been polling people at the college i work at.
thes students like the song the most, almost 100 percent of them and the ones that didn't care were not into rock at all.
most of the older people liked it as well but not as predominately.
Are you fucking kiding? yeah only old people who are resentful of the old band's break up would review this poorly
I mean the majority of earths population was devestated when Gn'R broke up. Too many of them unable to move on. Please. the only people who haven't gotten over the old band's break up are people who frequent Gn'R messge boards. most people dont' give a shit. Nice unbiased polling
By all means Bigbri enjoy it. I just think that people on Gn'R sites better be prepared to hear alot of HONEST negative feedback. The fact is most people don't care one way or the other but if given the choice over something they'd like or something they wouldn't like they'll take the thing they like. I just find it pretty offensive and lacking in common sense really to say that the only way anyone could dislike these songs is because the've already made up their minds and aren't willing to give the songs a chance. I know that didn't come from you, I'm just saying it in general.
Like I said I enjoy hearing it on radio but I think it's pretty clear the response to the song is pretty underwhelming. We'll know for sure in the coming weeks. more so in the coming months. We'll see if the songs have any staying power or if they simply fade away as quickly as a new Velvet Revolver single.
in my poll. all i did was ask about them hearing the song, bono.
i think i speak for the rest when i say, nobody is saying that everyone that doesn't like it isn't giving it a chance.
but it's hard to call the negative reviews that flood in the minute it is released unbiased since they probably contain a LARGE percentage of people that were waiting to bash it (NOT GIVE IT A CHANCE) and the rest are fanboys waiting to worship it. it's hard to say which there has been more of but after a couple of weeks the die hards will grow tired of their fanboy promotion of the song and the inept columnists and djs will find something else to root against.
that is when and only when we will see honest feelings towards the song and from the silent majority. gnr has always had to battle bad press and i think the music will rise above that and do the talking for itself. you guys have to remember, no band/musician is liked by more than a miniscule portion of the world. if CD sells 5 million it will be a HUGE success and 5 million is a miniscule percentage of the planet's population. a few bad reviews, MOSTLY from radio stations who's dj's are negatively promnoting the single, does not make the song unpopular. they simply have the biggest mouths.
