Sorry. I cant believe twats gonna win

I just realised my 5 songs I picked in the "pick 5 favourite songs" thread, were the first 5 out. Wonderful.

Time will tell. I dont expect this latest rant to go unanswered.

A couple of other things I noticed:

"The opinions expressed or "jumped" on publicly regarding promotion seem to be [about] my or our involvement with mainstream media -- talk shows, rock magazines and dot-coms -- which have generally held negative public stances toward myself or the band for years, [and they] unfortunately have not been resolved. Efforts are being made to understand the relationships and evaluate how best to proceed."

I think this boils down to the same shit he tried back in 92, trying to control what the media says about him. Get over yourself man.

"In regard to our promotion, it was based around certain agreements with Universal, Interscope, our management and legal [teams] that unfortunately never happened."

I'm really confused about these statements about things apparantly being place for promotion before the release and not materialising. What exactly could these things possibly have been if no videos were made, no band pictures or good individual pictures are available, no interviews and no articles have been made and even worse, there is no fucking band at all? Finck, Richard, Pitman, Bumblefoot, Brain are all off doing solo stuff and Buckethead quit 5 years ago. Plus they have the worst band website in the industry, only beaten to the title of "worst band website of all time" - by their old one.

What happened between Manson and the original Keyboardist? Thought those 2 were buddys?

This is one guy who's career has spanned the length of Axls absence, 8 albums released or something, and they are all pretty good, got to respect the mans creativity and productivity.

There is just as much hostility towards the new GN'R in Europe as in the US, when GN'R were last here they rode the cresent wave of "Greatist Hits" which was a smash hit, and pulled off a successful tour.

But the level of the hostility is imagined to be worse than what it really is. You have to go out and work to win people over,  sitting at home doing nothing just feeds the doubts in peoples minds. The new band has never been promoted and introduced, even to this day the new band is a mystery and appears to be a ramshackle. They could have had a kickass website, introducing the band members, having videos and other media showing the band tearing shit up, but they never bothered to do anything and these failures are still hurting the credability of the band today.
Going out and delivering a top quality product in every aspect soon turns things around, you have make the effort to make things happen and make things change. Sitting at home, doing nothing, and hoping for the best never works out in the long term, for anyone in any walk of life.
