Am I just being hopeful? But is there any kind of relavence to this thing about Richard Branson and all the other people on the stage at this Virgin launch dressing up as Axl? I mean why would he do this? Maybe nothing to it but it just seems to be another weird kind of thing to have happened in the last month or two surrounding Guns n Roses!!

Branson a GN'R fan? I think it's safe to say Virgin Megastore will massively promote "Chinese Democracy" in their stores when it's released?  I already see the big GN'R posters at Virgin Megastor: "Guns N' Roses- Chinese Democracy - on sales now". It would be cool to have a GIANT poster in the one in Champs-Elys?es, Paris when it comes out. There's a huge Virgin Megastore there. I also though a while ago about other Giant GN'R posters in Time Squares, Trafalguare Square and other big cities/symbol places in the world. Also several commercial for the Cinema, Tv, Radiostations. The promotion strategy should be giant. The album MUST be everywhere when it drops. yeah...everywhere. I hope we will have something big. Something ambitious. Axl stopped his public career at the age of 31, in 1993, it's too young to stop, there is a revendge to take. Round 2 should come out soon I hope. I also hope, one day, the new band will play at the new Wembley Stadium, but that's another story. The album needs to come out and be successfull before thinking to Wembley. |

Regarding any relevance to Branson dress up, there is an expression we use in the UK "he did it for the craic" basically a bit of fun |

Is there anyone in the know at all from the states who has any more on this? I know it may be something of nothing, but it just seems a trifle odd that at a major opening of a Virgin store the owner decides to dress up as Axl along with a lot of other people on a stage or whatever it is. Maybe I'm just being ever hopeful! Please any negative people dont even bother with any bollox replies to this. Its a sensible thread? that I just wandered if there is any substance too! Mike

Good Post Ppbebe!
My previous post to this was to ask madagas why he/she was giving it the countdown as if this thread was gonna be locked. I cant understand why it would be its a perfectly sensible and normal thread asking a reasonable question!

Yeh very true, but why suddenly dress up as him at a major opening of a worldwide music store with 12 others dressed up in the same outfits as well!! I would just be nice if there was something to it! |
