that was insane and that poor bastard will be drawn and quartered if he just spilled the beans on the album thing......:drool:

Buzz, and that is why I said the first song better be damn good or the house of cards will fall.
Commy, agree as well......I just want the album. I will determine whether I like it or not.:thumbup:

Bono, I was talking US sales for U2's last release and was just pointing out that they have been outsold in the US multiple times by lots of artists since 2004. Worldwide, Chinese vs New U2, I think Chinese will go toe to toe in sales, probably outsell them on curiosity alone. Chinese needs little promotion really (I mean it has been talked about for 14 years-a new Gnr record that is), and they have already started with Rockband. One single song generated a huge amount of hype worldwide, that was a good move no matter how jaded you are. Now, don't get me wrong, the song better kick a lot of ass or my whole theory goes to hell in a hand basket. Finally, as I pointed out to you earlier, Interscope will release both records, and I think Iovine is smart enough to figure out how to promote them. Let's leave that to him.:beer:
ps this is not a Gnr vs U2 thing, because quite frankly, I love both. Really just talking about the future and nothing to do with the past.

for the record, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, U2's last release in 2004, only went 3 times platinum in the US (source RIAA website)........Coldplay sells more records than them at this point. U2 also hasn't released a new record since the industry went in the tank either. Personally, I think Gnr can go toe to toe with them in record sales worldwide. Where they can't touch U2 is in the touring department.
PS and I will leave record scheduling and business plans to Jimmy Iovine.....he has done alright in that department.:thumbup:
#6565 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy "On the schedule" » 930 weeks ago
actually, it is quite the opposite....big releases feed off each other. You don't want to release them the exact same week, but around the same time is not a problem. U2 and Gnr will also both be released on Interscope. Mr. Iovine may have quite a 4th quarter. 
Shackler better be good though......the success of the album pretty much depends on it.:/

#6568 Re: Guns N' Roses » Which lead guitarist do you prefer for the future? » 930 weeks ago
Fortus was the better solo/lead player at the shows I saw than Finck...much better actually and much closer to Slash in tone. Fortus' problem is that he does not fit with the new material...outside of the outro on the Blues which I think is nice. As a matter a fact, I find Richard a more fitting lead player than rhythm. His puchy rhythm style is not that attractive, but his lead style is much smoother and bluesier.
like his licks with Izzy on this.

when your kicking ass with Izzy on classic Stones, you get bonus points.

#6570 Re: Guns N' Roses » POLL: BH Returning? » 930 weeks ago
Bri, he is a quirky guy though so I wouldn't put anything past him just yet....something attracted him to Gnr in the first place...he also tried out for Ozzy and Red Hot Chili Peppers I believe so he has some craving to be a part of a conventional arena rock act. Wishful thinking on my part, but with Robin looking like he is out, the door is wide open.
