I think he's ruining his career. M.I.A. is another small artist, yet she is even bigger than him. If she started releasing a ton of albums, it would overwhelm people and they would just move on. They might go see her shows, but no one is interested in that much material.
If BH is interested in making money, he should set his sights on making one great mainstream album instead of releasing 20 small ones.

Dont believe anything until you hear it from the gnr camp
No truer words have ever been spoken.
Although I would believe a Universal release list. The album cant come out until it is on one of their lists.
#18103 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » 3 new Bucket cds! » 949 weeks ago
Yeah, I do believe that is a record.
If I were his agent, I would tell him to cut back on the releases. He's oversaturating his small fanbase. I am a huge BH fan, but there is no way in hell I can keep up with that many albums.
#18104 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » VR - Why the Sophomore Slump? » 949 weeks ago
The album is way past the point of being saved. Its been out too long. An artist has to strike while the iron is hot, and the Libertad iron is as cold as a witch's tit.
I try not to put down the album too much since music is subjective, but there was nothing on this album to grab people by the balls. There was no rocker that had summer hit written all over it, and the ballads were very average. Two songs that had potential(Messages and Psycho Killer) weren't even on the album.
Psycho Killer would have been a good 1st single. I could easily see that getting a ton of airplay on VH1.
Like I said, you gotta strike while the iron is hot. GNR is going to have to deal with the same thing. The wrong choice of songs or the wrong choice of a 1st single will kill the record. Society is different now. The attention span of the public is very short. You have to release your best song first.
#18105 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl does swing style cover on a Queen tribute cd? » 949 weeks ago
I dunno how one can test the waters being on another album, I mean sure it's great that he is doing something but that to me doesn't reflect or test what his own material is going to sound like, he is just enchancing Baz's songs [I dont mean that as rank on Baz, it could be him or anyone] and guesting on a tribute album. How does this test the waters for CD?
Because there will be an official release in stores with him on it, and he can gauge public and media reaction to it. I can tell you right now the reaction will be mild.

It hasn't been released yet. Looks like Universal is taking its sweet time with this. We'll see it by the first week of November.

I agree they are the only legit team that can go undefeated.
Can you imagine if the Pats had a dominating rusher? While their point total might go down a touchdown or two, you could never get the offense off the field. This team having ten minute drives with huge chunks of rushing yards would be unreal.
#18108 Re: Management » Welcome Everyone! » 949 weeks ago
Very very nice! Or as Borat would say, "Verah nice!"
My one small complaint, and it is minor, would be that we wouldnt have to wait at least 60 seconds to post between each post. Am I the only one who got this message?
That can be fixed. Its flood control. The setting can be altered.
#18109 Re: The Sunset Strip » Say hello to more reality tv...aka the writers strike. » 949 weeks ago
This might be what kills off the reality genre. Total overkill. At least they admitted in this article that all reality is scripted.
I rarely watch TV as well. Although this is going to impact the film industry also. Last I heard about Friday the 13th remake is they were trying to rush a script, which obviously doesn't bode well for the quality of the film, but you can see why they are doing it. The film industry may get more devastated than the tv industry. Films get written and go into production long before release, so next summer and fall might see a ton of garbage make it into theatres.
The horror genre will definitely take a hit from this strike.

Glad to see New England beat Dallas, but man, is New England just on another level or what?!
They really remind me of those late 80's 49ers teams. For about 2 years, SF was unstoppable. Sure they lost a couple games, but they were untouchable. They scored at will.
If the Pats beat Indy, they're going undefeated. I haven't seen their schedule recently, but the only defense in the league that might give them trouble is Baltimore.
The pats are averaging 35-40 points a game. Every game. You cant beat a team that scores like that. Period.
They will probably have that division wrapped up by week 10 or 11. Then Belichick has a tough decision to make: Do you let this monster offense rest and reduce the risk of injury to zero, or do you let them continue their run so they dont lose any momentum?
