I am happy that the video cameras I saw set up around the venue were there for a reason.
Time to release this concert on DVD.

Interestingly that is the same font used for th 2003/2004 GNR Branding. All the t-shirts and posters used that font
You noticed that too? That was the first thing I saw was the font on Bucketheadland. I won't even dare to hope for that though.
I have no idea what to make of this.

I have no doubt that Guns N' Roses, especially a really catchy "If You Only Knew"-type ballad with a companion video would reign for a fucking long ass time.
album has sold about 407,000 & peaked @ 5 on billboard top 200
looking in view reached 12 on us mainstream rock tracks chart
your decision and check my brain both hit #1your decision has been on the chart for like 20 weeks or something
AIC was also nominated for a grammy
this album has been pretty sucessful commercially i would say
Actually, Your Decision has been replaced by Between the Lines at the #1 spot. And last I checked Your Decision was at #2.
I don't see why we are really arguing about record sales anyway. I agree with Madagas. Successful singles do not equate to record sales. They equate to more digital downloads of that particular song.
I would want GNR to have a successful single out there to show people he can still kick ass and produce hits. That would certainly raise the interest level a little in it, and may lead to more record sales.
CD sold fairly well, and it had no promotion, no hit single, no interviews, no late night performances. I think an album by GNR with all of that could do better.
Then again, CD may have left a bad taste in some fans mouth so even with all the advertising it could do worse. But that is where the hit single comes in. He needs to come back and show people he's not fucking around.
He needs to do what Eminem is doing right now.

The new Alice in Chains doesn't sell as many records as the new Gnr, doesn't sell as many concert tickets, doesn't sell as many t-shirts, doesn't sell anything close to the new Gnr...digital, upside down reach arounds...you are grasping for straws. The old Gnr was MUCH bigger on a worldwide basis than the old Alice. The same goes for the new Gnr. Nothing has changed -both just have smaller fanbases now. Nobody cares about radio anymore and nobody cares about MTV anymore. There is a million different ways to hear music.
Although it is a good comparison, the Gnr brand is and always will be bigger than the Alice in Chains brand. That doesn't mean the music is better, it just means one is a more commercial entity.
Black Gives Way To Blue has hit Gold and Your Decision spent a long time on top of the rock charts. Check My Brain did pretty good as well.

If it turns out to be true, it'll be quite the shock. I would expect something like this from Michael Jackson, not Bret Michaels.
Yeah... because after the Rock of Love shows Bret would NEVER do anything for publicity or money.
Oh wait... Celebrity Apprentice... shit.

The fact that he's had a brain hemorrhage, is in critical condition, and yet is supposed to go on a major tour in a month? Smells like bullshit to me.
No doctor in their right mind would let him put himself under that kind of stress after just suffering from a brain hemorrhage. That's a HUGE risk.
#478 Re: The Sunset Strip » Eminem Recovery Artwork/Tracklist Revealed » 862 weeks ago
That sounds good for me. I'm really liking this song right now.
Relapse was childs play compared to this.
#479 Re: The Sunset Strip » Eminem Recovery Artwork/Tracklist Revealed » 862 weeks ago
The single is fire.. Wow.. He's gonna rip the rap world a part.
"Let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was 'ehhhh�
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't going back to that now
All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW"One of the few artist to listen to people and turn that shit back on them.
This single, and that freestyle, are amazing. I was hoping we wouldn't get any pop sounding single from him again, and he did not disappoint.

Axl has succeeded AND is succeeding in the music industry. He is succeeding right now despite himself. Let's not get carried away. Is he an underachiever? Yes. But, he is still making a lot of money for himself, his bandmembers, the promoters, and the record label.
I think most of the time his achievements right now are compared to either what GNR did before or what could have been.
I'd say he's still doing fairly good for himself. Not nearly as good as could be, because look how the last US tour went.
