Better is at 5 on WAAF in Boston, with Chinese Democracy still in the top 10.

while CD might not go down as the success story a lot of people thought it was going to be, it is going to be pretty hard to dismiss it as a failure. it has sold a decent, tho not stellar amount of copies, and according to metacritic, 65/100 reviewers like the record. honestly, in this day and age, if you can win over half of the "critics" that listen to your record (especially when it is as avant garde as cd) you did something right.

so ya, did it live up to the hype, both commercially and critically? probably not.

but does that mean that it flopped? not quite.

ive heard IRS on the radio three times in the past week, and TWAT twice in one day on WAAF. as far as i know they weren't doing any promotional thing, just playing tracks they thought were cool. i enjoyed it.

ya I'm almost positive, especially in New York, that that is a managerial issue. i find it hard to believe they would cherry pick Manchester, NH as a place to have a display.

gee thanks von solo! you're right.

i mean these are not typical Axl lyrics, childish rhymes, etc. and I just think that line at the end is himself admitting that "ya I just wrote a fucking quintessential love ballad for you at the cost of whatever I pride i had left."
