yeah...I'm in Australia 
Shotgun...i agree...as long as they do do that....like i can go into the stores here now and there's still AC/Dc posters up from october...I just hope i see some kind of promo like that.
#8442 Re: Guns N' Roses » On the Eve of Democracy, Where's Axl? » 914 weeks ago
Yeah...i didn't expect the end of the world. But I expected proper promotion and in Australia that isn't happening. At my music store they had posters of Ac/Dc's "Black Ice" and Metallica's "Death Magnetic" for at least a month before release...it's now 2 weeks out...my music store can't take my preorder for it (because they don't beleive me its happening for sure), there's no signs or posters or any form of publicity...all the local music magazines and newspapers have full page adds for bands that are a lot less famous and future releases and there is not even a snippit about it. Very strange.

#8444 Re: Guns N' Roses » My guitar complaint *spoilers included* » 914 weeks ago
I'm going to have a ton to post on this topic I suspect after release day...as i'm doing the wait for the CD thing...but i have strong views about every guitarist that's been in GNR it seems...so can't wait to hear it and get into this discussion!

Oh ok. Cool. I always figured Bermuda, Island, and Population were. Their sound really reflects they way he sounded in GN'R at the time. And Nottingham prolly could have made a great GN'R song with a little editing
Yeah...i drool of that...I think the NL outro solo is one of the greatest things ever played on Guitar..if they'd found a way to structure that into a more conventional rock song with Axl on vocals....i think we'd have seen an all time classic for the wider world not just the bucket and GNR fans....kinda like how NR is remembered now as a classic rock song....

I'm on DSL so I can do it from that perspective. Although I am in Australia so shipping here might suck...might be better to go someone closer..but if you get stuck let me know and i'll help out.

Pitman has nothing to do with AFD, Lies, UYI 1+2....that doesn't make him on par with Axl - even if he happens to do a lot on CD.
Considering the fact that those are old albums with old lineups, you pretty much missed my point.
Judging by the liner notes, Axl, Chris, Paul, Freese & Bucket are the MAJOR contributors to this album, which will (at this point) be the 'legacy' of new Guns.
Yeah i see what you are getting at. I don't want to get into the whole name debate...but to me that's one of the factors about releasing CD as a "GNR" album - what comes with that branding is it's association with the other records. My point is that in a CD store in December of this year GNR will have 8 records for sale: AFD, LIES, UYI1, UYI2, TSI, Live Era, Greatest Hits and CD...so i guess I was just questioning the phrasing of pitman as equal to Axl to the GNR brand...as he will habe played on 1/8th of those products in the marketplace and Axl peformed on 8 of 8. I guess what i'm saying is that one factor of CD being released as it is is that - that even if its a fantastic record (which i think it will be) it becomes part of the overall GNR legacy.
In terms of contribution to the album, I guess I see the point you are making, in that he is clearly relevent from a songwriting perspective. I'm just saying to the overall brand and concept in terms of the wider public...he's going to remain unknown.

#8450 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Duff Speaks about VR, Scott and Axl » 914 weeks ago
Duff is a class act. He gets ripped out of the GNR name and forgives, he could have been harsher about scott, chooses tact every time.
