I'm not sure... I think NIN fans are more likely to buy the record than Replacements fans.  Every fan of The Replacements I've heard of is ashamed of Tommy for associating himself with Guns N' Roses and views him as a sell-out.

NIN fans generaly don't think of Fink as their Fav member past or present, if NIN fans do buy GNR albums it will not be because of Fink. Tommy's the only one persumably other than Axl to maybe have a say. Since Axl seems to like him more, and he's more likely to be around in a years time, unlike the others who seemed to be hired help. (Except Dizzy).

Robin has been in the band longer than Tommy. I don't see any member being just hired help besides Ron and that's just because he's new

Robin left the band for a while, then Axl started saying his parts were being deleted.

I didn't say NIN fans would buy it because of Robin.  But NIN fans are more likely to buy it than Replacements fans, because to the average Replacements fan GN'R are the ultimate in "corporate rock sell-outs".  Thanks largely to the attitude of Paul Westerberg.

I don't know about that. I have no real basis for this but I'd think that there are more NIN fans in the Gus N' Roses demographic than there are Gn'R fans among the NIN fan base. I think maybe it has to do with Axl's support of NIN in the early 90's. Not saying Gn'R fans like NIN only because Axl does but they likely checked them out because of Axl thus opening thier eyes(ears) to the band. NIN fans for the most part might not have any real reason to check out Gn'R

I think if they are fans of Robin or Tommy they will buy the album. I know I have bought every album of an ex GNR member...even GIlby Clarke  :yes:.
