#6821 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Reason Behind The Delay Of "Chinese Democracy"....? » 967 weeks ago

True, but I think it's alot easier to promo & market the first Guns N Roses record in 16 years than it is to market an up & coming & potential breakthrough artist. MIA potentially could have exploded into the Shakira/Kelly Clarkson stratoshpere if things went there way & everything was clicking. So they really needed a launch campaign & proper timing, singles, and marketing to the correct audiences. I think with GnR they could just put an ad on Target, Best Buy etc's websites saying CD available Nov 20th (or whatever) & send a fax to MTV & all the rock stations. That alone would get some publicity & still sell fairly decent. & that's without even trying.


Anyway, if what Mysteron said is true (which is questionable) I think all it means is they are playing hardball with each other during negotiations. Axl asking for something, the record company isn't budging.

#6822 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Reason Behind The Delay Of "Chinese Democracy"....? » 967 weeks ago

Mysteron is right, this makes total sense. The cd is turned in, artwork etc completed. They just do not want to release this album. Yes that's it. WAHHHHHHH the label won't release CD, wAHHHHHHH. WAHHHHHH the label has a grudge against Axl WAHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHH the label wants Axl to pay 13 million before they release it, otherwise they will hold onto it forever WAHHHHHHHHH WWAHHHHHHH protest the record company, they are evil WAHHHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHH it's the record companies fault WAHHHHHHHHHHHH


Seriously, you'd have to be from another planet to believe this. The label would LOVE to release this. The only hint of truth that might be in this,  is if Axl said "I'll turn the masters in if........." (if the label does this ______ ie. renogitiate the contract, forgive the 13 mil advance etc etc). But in no way, whatsoever do I believe the master was handed in, and is just sitting on somebody's desk because the label has a vandetta or grudge against Axl. Absolutely not. The label is trying to make money. Selling a GnR record would do just that.

Yeah, I heard on 610 radio this morning a black guy call up from North Philly. He made a few good points. I don't think it's in this article but one of them he states he enjoyed dealing drugs, everyone knew him, and "he even sold to some of these kids parents". Well, that isn't good to say your selling drugs to kids and parents with children. Actually it's a felony. Secondly, the judge stated the family & household is a mess, with pill & guns throughout (probably out in the open in the kids rooms). Again, a FELONY!! Third, Andy is notorious for getting & drafting "Character guys" with clean backgrounds & not going after players with a shady/criminal past. Well, that's kindof a double standard now, isn't it.

Then the radio host made a good point, are the investigators going to look into which doctor is prescriping these pills & renewing the prescriptions for this kid. Shouldn't he do jail time as well??

Shit's going to hit the fan over the next few days. If they beat Dallas, he should step down on Monday, thank the fans & spend time in isolation with his family. Us Philly fans will be happy he beat Dallas in his final game, there's no better way to go out other than winning the Super Bowl. If they lose to Dallas, shits going to hit the fan in epic proportions & be will he fired/resign.

He also tried to smuggle 90 pills up his butt into jail. Should be good practice, if he gets outta line he might be getting something else up his ass pretty soon while in jail.

#6826 Re: The Garden » weird things you are addicted to » 967 weeks ago

I'm the same way buzzsaw. It's wierd, I feel like I wasted a night if I spend it online, even if my plans were to just watch TV. I'm not sure why, but I feel worse for surfing the net & posting than I do watching TV. When in reality, the net is probably better. At least it's interactive & I can express feedback & hold conversations.

and libertad sold like 92,000 copies first week

I's say your being very optimistic, maybe 20,000-30,000 19

I thought Libertad sold 200,000. If it was only 92,000 then your #'s sound more accurate to what it'll be. About 20,000

#6828 Re: Guns N' Roses » Baz now claims 4 GNR albums exist » 967 weeks ago

This album will come & go with hardly a whisper. Look at Kid Rock, his album has little impact & he is much more relevant to todays music scene than Sebastian Bach. It's really not going to affect Axl or Gnr, because nobody will hear of this. It'll sell about 50,000 - 70,000 copies.

#6829 Re: The Garden » Dollar's Demise Can Be Seen Even in the Maldives » 967 weeks ago

It's just becoming a global economy. The US dollar & economy is declining, while Eastern European, Russia, China & India are on the rise. Soon China will be exporting cars to US for cheap (Chery i think). Stocks for foreing companies are doing well, as people are investing in them. Hence, salaries & employement for these countries will increase, while US slowly decrease. Not a huge crash, it'll happen gradually. It already is, and the internet has made it an even playing field for all.

As my cousin said; "In a few decades we'll all be working our low paying jobs which were outsourced into the US by Russia & China, leaving work to shop at Walmart. Then going next door to the slot-casino to gamble the rest of our paycheck away"

Haha, I like to watch it because it makes me glad I didn't go out & do something crazy... So it's like somebody else did it for me & suffered the results, all while I can just stay in on a Saturday night. It does make me realize cops do put up with alot of shit. Not only risking their lives (that's more World's craziest videos) but just in dealing with annoying people, liars etc. It's hard to get a story straight when hearing two sides to it.

I do hate when they pull people over for having a tail light out, or not using a turn signal etc.. That's kinda bogus. But it's funny when they end up having like 10 pounds of pot in their car. It's like buddy, can't you fix your tail light before buying all that weed.
