#2371 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl PWNS DR. PEPPER » 936 weeks ago
They should make Dr. pepper buy 5 million copies of Chinese Democracy and then hand it out with every soday bottle .
It'd be pathetic. Do GN'R need to sue anyone to make him/her/it buy a copy?

It's only an attempt to get more promotion for the album. CD comes out on a Monday and the next day there is a soda in every American's hands. Well....
#2373 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl can't make Videos without Robin Finck & Buckethead » 936 weeks ago
Buzz is right. A summer 2009 tour, people will have forgotton all about CD at that point. They HAVE to kick off a big publicized New Year's Show (maybe simucast live on VH1 Classic & MTV2?), with tour dates starting no later than February 2009 imo.
And as for videos, I don't think Axl is in near as much of a bind as you think. They taped ALL the 2002 & 2006-07 shows, and they have TONS of stock footage.
All they'd have to do is mix n' match. Show concert footage of Axl, Ron, Richard, Tommy, Frank, Dizzy & Chris, and the parts with Bucket & Robin, just do story telling stuff, like footage of actors or SFX. Stock footage of a chopper flying over the ocean, or fans going to The Roxy, etc.
There's ways around it.
Bands tend to release live footage videos when they're on tour and wanna promote it, or as a farewell to the just-ended tour. I'd find it strange to release 2006-2007 footage in 2009, although it'd make more sense than not releasing any video for the singles.

I think the stunning info is that 225k people bought Ludacris album.
WTF?
I thought that dude hadn't been relevant since like 2001.
Be careful mate, a lot of people think the same about some other bands with an even more ancient date.

Since it's a Best Buy only, it can do relatively good on the second and third week, too, since not everybody can go to a BB in a few days. It will not top the list, though, but I think the first spot is overestimated. The final numbers will matter, although I'm getting unsure if CD will sell a million in the US.

#2377 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Richard Fortus interview on UG » 936 weeks ago
He seemed really unsure though................
I noticed that he seemed to have no info for the GN'R future. He can't write off 2009 this early, can he?

Fans can tell other fans things.
#2379 Re: Guns N' Roses » Is "Sorry" Axl's F.U. to the fans? » 936 weeks ago
The more I listen this song, the more I believe it's about the fans. Partially, at least. Funny, that a Fuck You to the fans can be the biggest fan favourite off the album. Guess you have to be a mazochist to be a true Axl fan.
#2380 Re: The Garden » Anyone heard from Jessica lately? » 936 weeks ago
Jessica, it's a heartbreaking story. I don't think isolating him would be a good idea, he has to learn to live with the others. I think, as you mentioned, he really wants all the love, cause he feels abandoned. I'm sure he needs a good psychatrist and surprised that you can't find one in France. But a psychiatrist is not enough, you have to settle down, live a normal life and then, as time goes by, he can be a happy child again. I wish you the best.
