What would we do without you?......like a breath of fresh air....Mr Happy-Go-Lucky...sunshine on a cloudy day!
Reality can be a bitch sometimes, but it's easier when you know it's coming.

How will playing WTTJ remind people that the new band will be touring to support CD?

Buzzy, if there was no intention of releasing another record from the sessions, Axl would have already been dropped by the label. Common sense tells you that. He clearly stated he was still under contract with Geffen/Uni....that doesn't guarantee a release but I don't know too many labels these days holding on to artists that don't release records. Just sayin.
What is the rush? It's not like they'd be releasing an album anytime in the next 10 years anyway.

Ever play Hearts or Euchre?
It's not how much you take in, it's how much you take in relative to your expectations.
If Axl Rose wants to put out another album, then the record company will release another album.
They know how many they can expect to sell now.
If by "They know how many they can expect to sell now" you mean they know they will sell significantly less than they did on CD, I'd agree with you.

After reading the post again, what he's saying is that everybody no longer involved in GnR was featured in a commercial, but they cut the song off before the one person still in the band contributed anything. Yes, this is clearly a sign that "G&R are coming".

That this band has nothing like the sales power of a giant like U2 does not mean it is not a viable entity. There are a ton of bands that sell less records than GNR just did, yet are considered as ongoing propositions in the industry.
Let me know exactly how much money these "ongoing propositions" are receiving for their "selling less records than GNR just did" and you'll have an answer. When you're done with that, let me know if there would even be a possibility for a next record if the label didn't release this one and the next one as Guns N' Roses.
There is no case that can be made that CD wasn't a complete failure OTHER than the fact the record company got their money back. That's it. Do you really think Axl's lack of doing anything after the release is going to inspire the record company to release another album? Do you really think the instant dropoff is sales is going to encourage them to release another album? Do you really think that the lack of anything resembling a viable single is going to encourage them to release another album?
Wake up. As all the supporters used to like to remind people, this is 2009. The world doesn't give a shit about Axl Rose outside of tabloid headings (and even barely there). The only thing GnR can do to salvage anything is an Axl/Slash reunion, and that (supposedly) isn't happening anytime soon.

Neither. I really find it amazing that some people still hold out hope. In some ways I really admire those that can believe in something when everything says otherwise. Logic be damned, they are going to grasp for straws until there are no straws left.

There are different types of "terrorism" and what James refers to works with one type, but not on the group that believes it is fighting for freedom in what they consider to be their homeland. So you are both right, but under different circumstances.

LOL. OK.
