Sabbath

Ok thanks, I understand you much better now.

I agree with some of what you say and disagree with other stuff.

"The album is terrible. The songs aren't good" - Nonsense. You happen to love what I consider one of the weakest songs on the album, but different strokes for different folks. You have an opinion and so do I.

The issues with the mixing are opinion as well. I listened to an interview with Tony Iommi the other day and he was talking about the conflicts during the mixing stage. One guy wants the drums louder, the other guy wants his bass louder, the other guy thinks the bass is loud enough but wants the guitars louder...whatever. It still boils down to one persons opinion over the other.

The album wouldnt have plummeted if there had been videos, a tour, proper constructive interviews promoting the band and the music. But none of that was there, just the same wall of silence. Big suprise that an album from a group of anonymous middle aged guys didnt stay in the charts for long. Its an accomplishment on its own that such a half baked, faceless and incompetent album release managed to sell millions. It hardly takes a genious to say that the release was a fuck up, it was brutally clear to anyone with half an interest.

The last few albums I bought wont have sold more than a few thousand copies worldwide, but they arent failures. As long as your music finds an apprieciative audience somewhere then thats what it should be all about.

David Gilmour has sold more albums in his life time than most can dream about. Is his solo career a failure because he doesnt have the albums sales he had in his youth and in his prime? His last album only sold roughly 1 million copies worldwide. What a failure, he better get down on his hands and knees at the feet of Waters, if he has any aspirations of ever being taken seriously again.

I thought you were trying to be humorous, in a pantomine villain kind of way, with your strutting and boasting that you represent "the truth" and have been right about everything all along.
Only now I'm I realizing that you were being serious
I dunno what's funnier.

Rock on Tommy

I like that Be Yourself song, just heard it for the first time I think. I wouldnt mind hearing Axl cover that one.
The Louder Than Love album sounds not bad actually.

You know those questions for the band members, it would be pretty neat if Axl has tackled some of the hundreds posted to him since he appeared online
He did say something about trying to answer some more in his last visit I think.

I wonder if the answers will be posted on forums or on the official website?
