why is it so hard to understand that anything Axl does is a love/hate thing.....alot of my friends thought the old band was cheesy, sunset strip hard rock....no different than Crue or Poison. For fuck's sake why I am even in the conversation? I need to go eat dinner.....Guinness and pizza sounds good.

Nobody is gonna convince anyone else until it is nut cutting time. When the album is released and the cash registers ring, we'll know the true response to the "new " Gnr. You guys are just spinning around in circles with predictable comments from all known haters and all known nut swingers. It is just too predictable and that is why the band doesn't give two shits about us fringe lunatics. We are a small minority. We'll know the story on the popularity issue by the end of the year. I see no reason to argue it now. Radio play does not always determine sales. The Eagles did alright without a hit single.

why would anyone write an article and show a video done 4 years ago?

the label for the record is Black Frog/Geffen...may want to change that in your cd info. May also want to add produced by Axl Rose and Caram Costanzo.
