I am quite certain he hasn't sold 250,000 worldwide. He makes his cash off touring now....just like everybody else except for the big pop stars like Taylor Swift, etc. Radio Chart positions don't mean shit unless they are backed by single sales on ITUNES, Amazon, etc.

I did hear Slash's recent single on the radio a few days ago...the one with the Locomotive type riff. It sounded so much better than all the other modern rock crap (the instrumental that is). Myles kind of irritates me after awhile but the guitars just kick ass.

Quite possible. A lot of sites hail it as a contender for the album of the year, yet only a few people bought it. Downloading motherfuckers are one thing, but sometimes I think that people (rock fans mostly) aren't really interested in new music anymore. They have their old AC/DC, Zeppelin, Floyd, GN'R etc. stuff and it's enough for them for the rest of their lives.

I think the selection of old songs they do these days is great, there's nothing really obvious to me from the back catalogue that they should be playing and aren't. CW and Estranged were the main ones everyone called for and we get them now. Sure an odd surprise of My Michelle or Think About You would be good but nobody is having a worse show without them. For me it's the mix up of the CD tracks that's more interesting and hopefully (one day) brand new material.
