wow. dude. chill out.

I'm honestly excited for this album but pumping your own work like that is very, very, um...Bono? I like Todd a lot too, thought he was better live on lead vocals than Myles. But holy hype!

Well, Slash's first week debut in the US was 60,000. AL was 38,000.

I have a hard time thinking they approached 750 and 500 respectively.

In fact, just did checked the notes on Amazon and saw this for AL (but talking about the first "Slash album" -

"2010's release of Slash's first ever debut solo album was a worldwide
success. It garnered both critical and fan acclaim around the globe,
debuted #3 on the US Billboard Charts and went on to sell 230k+ albums in
the US alone."

So if Slash only did 230k, let's be little generous and call it 300k by now, I've got to assume assume AL fared worse.

Haven't checked on the first two albums, but I'm sure they sold better given the state of the industry, and the general success of It's Five O'Clock Somewhere.

i'm surprised he can even hold a bass around his neck with no spine.

I honestly don't know why anyone would leave the band. It's a great paying side gig - show up to South America every 3 years, play a month in Vegas, couple Euro shows and the rest of the time is yours!
