without Robin or Bucket, at least one, I would have very little interest.

Steph sued Axl for physical abuse I believe, and Erin testified in the court proceedings against Axl.

correct...
#5784 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Chart Positions Thread » 910 weeks ago
It is unfortunate because I think it is a good record and would have been received much better if Axl would have showed some contrition and released it as a solo album. Oh well, if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass a hoppin'. James, I'll give you some credit, a lot of what you said would happen has happened. It will be interesting to see what's next....if anything.

IRS definitely improved over time...
#5786 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Chart Positions Thread » 910 weeks ago
Still trying to come up with answers as to why.....here is the only reason. Axl Rose burned to many bridges with the entire industry from former bandmembers to fans, to record execs, to Dj's and beyond. Bad karma surrounded the project from the beginning...1994 on. The album had no other path but failure from a commercial standpoint. Let's hope the release got it out of his system.......:/
#5787 Re: Guns N' Roses » Riad "demo" with album intro added » 910 weeks ago
Riad is at least 99 as Freese did the original drum arrangement.....check the credits. Freese left in 99 so the song was written before then. I still am a firm believer that Oklahoma is Riad. (and please don't tell me this was proven false by some drunk roadie and fan at the Vegas 01 show-complete hearsay. Oh yeah, Prostitute isn't really Prostitute either.:haha:) It is not a coincidence that they were getting confused and it is not a coincidence that Oklahoma was played for David Wild at the same time Catcher, CD, The Blues, IRS, and TWAT. All the other songs ended up on the album and somehow Oklahoma didn't? Bullshit. Riad is Oklahoma . If I wasn't so lazy I would dissect the lyrics to show you how they fit with Axl's description of the song.

I can guarantee you Uni/Geffen doesn't give a shit where the album is being bought.
#5789 Re: Guns N' Roses » CD #1 Worldwide » 910 weeks ago
Haha...great news!! I've said from the beginning it is NOT a flop and I stand by my statement that it will hit 3 million copies sold.
ain't gonna sell 3 million in the US...no way in hell....maybe 3 mil worldwide over the next 6 months or so.:|

'Chinese Democracy' Fires GNR To Euro Albums Summit
December 04, 2008 - Global | Rock and Pop
By Paul Sexton, London
Guns N' Roses soars to the top of the new European Top 100 Albums survey with "Chinese Democracy" (Black Frog/Geffen/Universal), as Beyoncé's "If I Were A Boy" (Columbia/Sony BMG) starts a second week at No. 1 on Eurochart Hot 100 Singles.
"Democracy" races 36-1 after making a series of notable debuts in European markets. That includes only one No. 1 debut, in Switzerland, but the album secures a second week at the helm in Finland and debuts at No.2 in the United Kingdom (on 119,000 sales) and Germany, No. 3 in Italy, Austria and Ireland, No. 4 in Holland, Sweden and Hungary and No. 9 in Portugal. The comeback release also climbs 5-2 in Norway and 26-10 in France.
The Killers' third studio album "Day & Age" (Def Jam/Universal Island) arrives at No. 2 overall, missing the top spot despite a bestselling debut in the United Kingdom on robust sales of 200,000. The new title hits No. 1 in Norway and Ireland, No. 4 in Switzerland and No. 8 in Germany. The Killers' previous studio set "Sam's Town" also started at No. 2 on the composite survey, in October 2006.
