Sales will be much less than anyone here cares to admit. I would have bought this thing last year, even this year. Now I might just download. Call me what you want, but Axl has yanked my chain long enough. I've poured money into concerts, merchandise, DVDs, shitty live albums, keeping myself interested in this. I don't care to give him anymore.

I was a die-hard, still consider myself hard-core, but there are other people out there like me who have given up. It'll affect sales, no doubt. The only way this CD goes bonkers is if it catches the casual fan with a monster first single (no crap like She Builds Quick Machines or whatever it was). Maybe a double single release: a ballad for the ladies and a rocker. Maybe "The Blues" and a good rock song, perhaps CD, but hopefully something unheard. Then, maybe it starts strong. But it ain't gonna last. Not many releases do nowadays.

an angel came down: trans-siberian orchestra

I said it around here a couple days ago: success was the worst thing to happen to this guy.

My guess is that BBA has a little penis.

BBA, if anyone really gave a shit about Slash and Duff, how come VR is the shittiest rock band around. And I'm using the term "rock" loosely. I'd rather listen to Fall Out Boy than listen to how low Slash and Duff have sunk. If anyone has disgraced themselves, it's them.
