I agree and disagree....The band may not think of it that way
no no no... i completely agree... i don't think the band has any sort of "pre-meditated" agenda at all... no intentional plotting of anything... i agree with you...
and also...
This album has gotten so much promotion already and the record company hasn't had to pay a dime for marketing.
You raise an excellent point that counters popular belief... A majority of people (i think) are under the impression that geffen is like, mad at axl or something... mad that he won't agree to release it yet... i disagree.... i believe they are fine with him not releasing it yet because they know it WILL be out sometime soon... they're just enjoying not having to pay to market it, like you said.
