If that's true, you've got to admit that's a good number for one month on the market.  Maybe I'm just trying to rationalize, but that statistic puts a good spin on things.

it's just because it's not doing well in the us. I know it will change once videos and things come out. this album is going to take people hearing for them to be like I should go pick that up.

QFT

It isn't gonna have that kind of impact on the musical landscape. we don't even know if it will be a single at this point.

  Awesome to read that in 1 month with little promotion the album is the 33rd best selling album of the year. Thats pretty good.

Seriously... its comments like that that have been making me  ::) every time I visit this site lately. 

Absolutely ridiculous statement.  GNR could cover nursery rhymes and some people here would say it's the best album in the world  :hihi:

good start.

 ;D leaving britney alone, I see other rock albums on the list are released much earlier than cd and already sold heavily in the us.

you didn't understand me.
I don't want to make comparation between these songs,but after sweet child afd made great commercial success
i think that after sorry cd will make great commercial success too

I don't like to compare songs

^ah ok, that makes a lot more sense  : ok:

I still think you're wrong though  :)

Sorry is a good fan song b/c of the lyrics.  I personally find it kind of boring.  I don't think there are any songs on CD that will blow it up the way SCOM did for AFD.

This is exactly what I was talking about in that other thread.  :P

As soon as there's an opportunity for you to say something negative in the GN'R section, you're there posting.

This is the reason I joked that I wish you would be as supportive of GN'R as you are of all those other bands you like.


100% of what you said is based on guessing.

So both views are as valid. Either it'll effect sales or it won't.

But only yours is the negative one.....


And you still wonder why I think you come across as (somewhat) negative or a spoilsport in the GN'R section.....

Jarmo, do you think Sorry is going to have the impact for CD that SCOM had for AFD?? 

I don't think there is anything wrong with what D said.  Sure, both opinions might are guesses, but I would bet every penny that D is right in this case.  Infact, if most people here don't agree with him I'd be shocked.  There is being negative and then there is just being realistic. 

Shouldn't the overly optimistic/unrealistic posts be ridiculed the way the blatantly negative/hater posts are?  one extreme is just as bad as the other if you ask me.

Meaning it could make the album #1?

Why not?

Many of the songs could do that.... It all depends on many factors.

Worse songs have propelled albums to the top of the charts as far as I'm concerned.

Of course you don't

I used his post as an example of something he keeps doing and then denying that he's doing it.  :hihi:

I disagree even though Sorry is a great song, I think If The World would have a greater impact.

Well, in my view, it is an album people have been wating for, and in my opinion a very good one,so not so suprised.

And for the whole sorry/sweet child thing you've got going here: sorry isn't sweet child, 2008-9 isn't 1988, chinese democracy isn't appetite and that makes the whole discussion pointless.


(and just to go back on my previous statment, if there is a song on cd that could be "chinese democracy's sweet child" it would prob. be prostitute. and i would know, 'cause i know stuff. lot of stuff)

I think that it more depends on promotion etc than music in these days if it goes to no 1 or not. That could be problem for GNR while music is great, management, current band image etc aren't as good.

I guess if my name was in the little booklet that came with CD I would probably say the same thing.

Must be nice to know that if you have no other way of refuting what I say, you can always make it personal.

Just like all the others!



If you seriously think that all the current hit singles are better songs than everything on Chinese Democracy, then I disagree.

It "only" takes one song at the right place at the right time....

sorry, wasn't trying to make anything personal.  But I do think you are giving a very safe, "political" answer.  It's hard to refute a "anything can happen" answer b/c you're really not saying anything definitively to refute to begin with.  I agree with you, at the right time at the right place, ANYTHING can happen.  sure.  : ok:  Very easy to say.

I don't recall ever saying that all the current hit singles are better songs than everything on Chinese Democracy.  I do recall saying "Sorry" is not going to have the impact for CD that SCOM did for AFD.

your "right place, right time" logic isn't really taking a side either way - do you honestly not have an opinion on whether or not "Sorry" will propel CD to the top of the charts the was SCOM did for AFD?  If not, I guess time will tell give us the answer.  To me the whole point of discussions like this IS to take a side, to have an opinion. 

I do think there are a couple of songs on CD that could make it a hit album, but Sorry isn't one of them.

Political answer? It's my opinion.


I don't think there's any filler on this album.

I listen to it all the way through and not even once do I feel like pressing the (http://i42.tinypic.com/2rzp551.gif) button.

and we share exactly the same thoughts ... there are no fillers on this album. everything is just at place where it should be. excellent flaw, excellent atmosphere... so the excellent album.
