yea because green day's situation, a band that is mainstream and has been active for the last 10 years, is comparable with GNR's, HURR DURR
Mainstream?What the fuck do you think GNR is, underground?90 million albums doesn't exactly scream non-mainstream.GNR also went on several world tours under the guise of the ChiDem album so they were not exactly inactive.Some of you sound like you were sent here by Jarmo.

Nobody is saying that CD is better, or bigger, than SCOM
Radio has changed a lot since those days
My only point was that to ignore the success of CD just to support your own views is flat out stupid. The facts are that CD is one of the most successful GnR singles on ROCK radio in GnR history
Rock songs do not get played on pop radio the way they did prior to the emergence of hip hop as the pre-eminent form of pop music. So it's hard to compare. But anyone who dismisses the success of CD is just doing it because acknowledging that CD has done well wouldn't fit their sad little agenda, their illogical little theories that have been crumbling for the past couple of months
They would look a lot less foolish just to admit they are wrong now, rather than keep arguing points that never had much validity but that now have been completely dismantled
Rock songs do cross over to the top 100.Green Day did it with Blvd Of Broken Dreams.ChiDem is not that kind of single and who knows if there is one on the album.A rock radio smash doesn't necessarily translate to album sales, so what is the big deal if ChiDem is a rock radio smash?I still think a lot of the Itunes orders are from Forum die hards.

I know I'm alone on this, but I really don't care to see BH back and if he does return it'll take a serious bite out of the live experience for me.
I hated having to sit through a ridiculous martial arts/robot dance segment in the 02 show.
Bucket owns Ron "no stage presence" Thal and Robin "I am here to fuck up Slash's solos" Finck.
The sad thing is so many GNR fans have become such sheep that they will accept whatever Axl throws at them, I call this the Jarmo mentality meaning Axl can do no wrong.
Bucket is the best thing to happen to GNR since Slash and Duff left.
I don't care how nice Ron is, he sure isn't Bucket.
A lot of GNR fans are like "oh just be happy the album is coming out" OK< great but if you want the best live GNR experience,you need Bucket and Brain ,not Ron and Frank.

Agreed.
Axl could very well ride out the release of Chinese Democracy without opening his mouth. He doesn't need to tour or give interviews and has so far made no effort to even speculate that he intends to do so.
It doesn't matter who is in the band if they plan to do fuck all anyway.
Yeah,this monumental promo campaign leaves a lot to be desired.Especially with Brain seemingly out, I can't see Bucket coming back.
Not to get off topic but does Izzy have a fan email or snail mail address.Your username sounds like the guy on Mygnr who had an Izzy site?I looked on there but didn't see a fan mail/email or even record company address.Or is he the kind of guy who doesn't read fan mail?Sorry,if you are not that person.
