I think it'll be hard for Slash to outsell CD, even if Axl's album had disappointing sale numbers. Salsh is popular, alright, that's true, but people rather download it than buy it. Slash is Slash, he's big, but the brand Guns N' Roses is much bigger than him - cause the GN'R brand has Slash in itself, even though he left 12+ years ago. Slash has a chance to outsell CD though, but he'll need at least 2 very strong singles for the mainstream audience. I still don't know what audience he wanna reach - with Alice Cooper you can only get like some thousand rock fans, but with Fergie he has great hopes to succeed.
I'm not against Alice or anything, but we all know what the outcome can be. With Fergie or Robbie Williams (rumour) or Jack White (rumour) or Linda Perry (my dream, lol) he can surprise even his long-time fans.

Finck was quite comfortable with doing nothing for years. But enough is enough, I think, even for a guitarist with minimal ambition. I don't know how long Tommy can stay with this band if the tour plans will fail or the tour will collapse.
