Same criteria. Rock chart debut. Chinese Democracy top 10, bad. Slash No. 47 bad. Charts don't measure curiosity.
Comparing a decade in the making album with a reclusive singer with a legendary mystique who virtually disappeared at the height of his career, to a guy who has remained in the public eye isn't the same thing
Radio were playing the new GNR single as soon as they could which blew it up the charts
I think the fact it didn't hit number 1 is a huge indictment. Everyone was ready to give Axl a chance... people didn't dig the song so when Better was released, even though its a much better song than CD, it tanked cause radio were no longer interested, the curiosity factor wore off
If Axl ever releases another album, it won't get anywhere near the buzz of CD, CD was infamous, the lochness monster, big foot thing.....
Also, GNR are under a super MAJOR label deal. U don't think Universal have big time muscle at radio to play their artists?
Slash is basically putting out an INDY album.

oh yeah, bought the CD and listened to it full of blast on the way home and it FUCKING ROCKS
#2723 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash album reviews » 840 weeks ago
but it isn't the same criteria
Axl could've released Rhiad and it would've hit top 10 due to the legendary excitement and curiosity. See "Better" and how it tanked.
u will see when another GNR album comes out, it won't get anywhere near that kind of buzz.
Same can be said for Contraband. There was so much buzz and hype due to the members and curiosity that it did amazing.... once that wore off, Libertad did terrible.
one can say it was bad single choices etc.. i just think the curiosity factor was over
people were dying to see Axl after 1o years.. did and moved on.

Slash didn't have 10 years of mystery and mystique surrounding his comeback
Not being a hater.. just pointing out a fact
#2725 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash album reviews » 840 weeks ago
Im such an asshole.. i put a copy of Slash in the Chinese Democracy section at Best Buy! LOL
#2726 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Myles Kennedy to join VR? » 840 weeks ago
Myles however DOES sound awesome over SLash's guitar... those two songs Back to Cali and Starlight have grown on me like a mofo.
#2727 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Myles Kennedy to join VR? » 841 weeks ago
Never been a fan of Myles... his voice just does nothing for me. I know he has a great technical voice with amazing range ya da ya da ya da
but i feel absolutely nothing when he sings...
#2728 Re: Guns N' Roses » Just listened to Chinese Democracy again... » 841 weeks ago
I do love CD but problem i have is... if this came out in 2002 with the shit I was going through in my life... I'd be saying this is the greatest album of all time... Problem is.... when it did come out.. I was in a great place emotionally etc etc and now i have to be in certain moods to really listen to it.
I think outside of Shackler's, the rock songs are kinda mediocre but the epic ballads are some of the greatest ever.
#2729 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash V Axl V Izzy V Whoeverthe fuck » 841 weeks ago
Damn, u got me interested in this Mad Season stuff..
that is haunting stuff.
Agree on the Axl stuff.. I may criticize him a lot, but he is still the Greatest frontman of all time IMO.
That Madagascar leaked after RIR3 when i was goin through my hell and that shit speaks to me and that and Estranged I credit for allowing me just enough to not throw in the towel.

the Mike Piazza thing seemed ridiculous
slash visiting axl's house
