even if CD sells badly doesnt make it a bad record either..

Thanks for posting this, Yeah regardless what happens CD is ultimately going to be judged on how much it sells because, hell if I had been funding Axl all these years, wouldn't you want to see it sell good? but I think that none of us hardcore gunners will regard it in that fashion, it should to us be and is the pride symbol of achievement and satisfaction as fans of guns n' roses, this album, my friends symbolizes much more than sales or the bottom dollar but the re-emergence of one of if not the greatest rock band in the past 15 years into the public musical relm.

Yeah, but it might hurt chances for more albums.

Well, one things for certain, it will make the record company hesitate to pay that much money for any future GNR projects.

Well i'm sure, with the lineup of guys they've got now, as long as they've got the inspiration, they'll be putting out albums, even if Axl solely has to produce them, and they are released independently.

But the $13+mil for CD, really is the last of it's breed. At a time, record companies were willing to sink whatever it took to get a potentially successful album out. But with the advent of computers, and the technology that can be found in the simplest laptop, record companies make it on the cheap now, and that's the way it's gonna stay. CD will make it's money back over and over, guaranteed, but i'm sure the record company would've much rather had it been a $3mil pricetag, instead of $13mil.

Most people like the old band right,how bout a quote by an old member...Duff once talked about how people made such a big deal about record sales and didnt take the time to look at the music behind it n went  on to say that most of his favorite albums only sold 10 k copies.

   I think it'll probably be a good album regardless of what the media n naysayers might say.

     Peace,Love,Guns N' Roses

That's exactly right. Usually the best acts are the underground ones. Mainsteam success doesn't always = good. Guys like Guns N' Roses are the rare exception.

Look at 'Coma'. One of the best, if not THE best GN'R song ever made, and it wasn't a radio single or a video.

That's why, with bands like this, a GH collection will look entirely different made by a diehard fan vs. a casual fan.
