Don't say that. You'll cause mass suicides at the forums.:haha:
I don't know how much that sold, but it wasn't much.
i think it did ok....but a comeback rock record is what basically gnr will be....and ozzy was the most current one i could think of...but i dont think it went platinum....maybe a couple times gold though
#11993 Re: Guns N' Roses » Eddie Trunk on Chinese Democracy » 982 weeks ago
if VR can sell 4 million, then I think GNR can sell atleast that.
vr sold 4 million in 04 riding a wave of nostalgia and hype....vr sold 1/8 of that in todays market...and the numbers are pretty similar across the board...except for a couple artists....i think a better band to compare this version of GNR to would be ozzys black rain from last year...his first orig material in 10 years....if somone can pull sales figures off that it'll prolly be similar to what GnR is gonna move
#11994 Re: Guns N' Roses » Shadows Fall Vocalist comments on Axl » 982 weeks ago
again i think everyone is missing the forest for the trees here.
he said that how can axl let something so legendary go down the toilet like it has...he never said anything about it being axls fault for the breakup...and in reality for the most part he has let gnr go down a shitty path of obscurity and obsurdity, the band is a laughing stock in the media these days and the fan base dwindles by the moment...yeah maybe he did a great job on the leaks we heard but in the 14-15 years since TSI has been out he has 2 singles to show for himself....gnr owned the music world in the learly 90's nobody could touch them...now what are they? a few of us diehards clinging to our keyboards everyday for a whisper of news....and 90% of it is bullshit..alll we have at this stage is hope and its fading more every day...that what i think this guy is saying when he said:
but how do you fuck up something that great that bad?
and if anybody doesnt think that GnR is really fucked up right now you should think again. eremeber as everyone is always fond of saying...Axl isnt the one who left GnR...it was his choice to continue it, he has to live with the goods and the bads of that decision...if he woulda went solo then this discussion is mute...but he kept gnr and this is what happened..and it sucks
as for the other comment about the reunion...many people have stated the same sentiments...he thinks gnr should reunite but only for one show and thats it then do VR and NuGnR....i dont see anything wrong with that comment...actually i think alot of gnr fans would salivate over that gig...if it ever happened....kinda like what happened to pink floyd fans for Live8
anyway i thought the 2 comments were relevant and i actually related to them a bit thats why i posted this thing...i could give 2 shits about this guy or his band...but the comments he made (plastic surgery bullshit aside) actually made some sort of sense to me

you forgot overhead costs as well....unless jimmy iovine is gonna go in ther himself on weekends to press cd's and print the booklets 
#11996 Re: Guns N' Roses » Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal on Nefarious Bovine Radio » 982 weeks ago
he doesnt say much about gnr, said its a good gig and hes lucky he got the position, said he went from underground nobody to a guy who gnr wanted. talked about buckethead, basically said they know each other and are freindly terms, not enemies like the forums seem to make it look like. said bucket asked him to sing on one of his albums once,
i dunno there was more but i cant recall it all right now, thats the short and skinny though
