#1131 Re: Guns N' Roses » How will the delays effect C.D.'s sales? » 917 weeks ago
I honestly think another 6-8 month 'silent' period with no definite release date most 'hard core' fans will just give up and find somewhere else to place their loyalty. The public might give a shit, but the music will have to be good and Axl will have to get out there and promote the damn thing
#1132 Re: Guns N' Roses » Another Year Almost Gone By » 917 weeks ago
The whole 'Mysteron' thing used to be vaguely interesting in the Dark Ages of GNR, almost like a glow worm keeping the feint hope of a new GNR album alive. Now it just seems a bit childish to me. I just don't get what the point of him/her is - if there was something to say then the band could say it, if there's nothing interesting then just keep your mouth shut.
But I guess they like it that way, to keep people coming back
#1133 Re: Guns N' Roses » Another Baz interview, couple of interesting things » 918 weeks ago
The cynical part of me thinks that Axl is drip feeding information through Baz to the fan base.
One thing I'd love to know is whether Axl is up for doing interviews and general PR. The record must expect him to do this, maybe he doesn't want to and that is causing some of the disagreements.
At least its good news to know the record company are engaged at some level.

'We had to play music that we recorded together for Jimmy Iovine, who is the head of Interscope, who has Axl signed, and he loved it when he could've said, "No." So Jimmy knew how important it was to Axl and said yes'.
I guess this was referring to the Angel Down songs not 'Sorry'.
Finger's crossed we'll hear something soon. An announcement of a four album staged release would be about whats needed in my opinion to get people interested.
#1135 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy given a Feb. 12 release date on Amazon UK » 918 weeks ago
From an accounting standpoint, I wonder how Amazon recognizes revenue. You'd think it'd be foolish on their part to set up an unearned revenue liability whenever they say an item is available for pre-order, because every year they're making the liability grow. Unless they are also setting up a prepaid expense for ordering the album or something. However they're doing it, it's backwards until the album actually comes out. They could even offer albums for pre-order to overstate their revenue and make it look like they're earning more than they actually are. It's silly.
Given the length of time its taken to get to market, they're probably expecting to defer their revenue over a 10yr time period or so, to account for any unforeseen and highly probable delays in the CD getting from record company to record plant to warehouse to local store.

#1140 Re: Guns N' Roses » Another theory as to why the the ball is in the record company's hands » 919 weeks ago
Here's my theory
The record company waited 10+ yrs and got sick of waiting. Now they have the album and its payback time. See how you like to wait Mr Rose.
