Sorry, just my two cents: ?

122 BON JOVI HAVE A NICE DAY 7,241 -9 7,950 1,248,552

64 GUNS N'ROSES GREATEST HITS 13,195 -1 13,323 3,093,530

An it was about a month ago, the GH is still in the top 100 (128th week !).

One album was heavily promoted and featured NEW songs, the other has been put out against the will of the members (actual and ex) of the band.

One band made tons of records, tours, promotions, video clips for more than 20 years, the other has put out only four real LPs, one EP, one double live album and one compilation. This band has only been active for like 9 years and sold about 85 or 90 millions albums.

I might be alone, but GN?R?s short but awesome carreer impresses me way more than BJ?s one !

[nesquick]

yeah, the old band (with SLASH, DUFF, IZZY, GILBY etc...) was one of the most important band in History. It still prooves how legendary they are.
If they reformed, they would be even bigger than U2... we all want it to happen... we all want a reunion... it's THE absolute GN'R dream of every GN'R fan... too bad Axl doesn't want it

you're right,but it is very sad because gnr have only 2 real albums,they had a potential to be the biggest band ever

[nesquick]

They have 3 real albums: afd, use your illusion 1, use your illusion 2.
Use your illusion lp's are 2 albums, not 1.

Who made you the spokesperson for the fans? I can definitely say you're not talking for me.

The "dream of every GN'R fan" should be to have happy current and former band members.

Well Jarmo who are you to speak on behalf of the fans telling them what they should want? I'm with nesquick on this one. get CD outta the way and move on to the reunion negotiations. The genreal public would rather have a reunion, half the fans on these boards would rather have a reunion and I'd be willing to bet most peeople in the music industry would rather have a reunion. So in my opinion you're in the minority here Jarmo. Not that, tha's a bad thing. I'm not so sure I'd agree with nesquick about Gn'R being bigger than U2. There's a real good arguement as to who was bigger in the early 90's(I think Gn'R were bigger but it's close) but part of me thinks too much time has past for Gn'R to ever reach those heights again with or without a reunion. It would be awesome though.

[jarmo]

As far as I know, GN'R has never been about pleasing "the general public".

There's plenty of artists out there who've made a career out of pleasing that crowd.

You two can take your reunion daydreams to the Dead Horse section.

I usually always check out the GN'R section at my local Tower, and all the GN'R albums have been flying off the shelves, you can't even find a Greatest Hits album, they are usually out of stock.

People are dying for good rock songs these days.

[Axl4Prez2004]

The thought of reunion makes me want to vomit.  Why oh why do folks so into the old band hang around?  I don't get it.  Oh well, I won't let it get me down.  Congrats to "Greatest Hits," even though we all know here, those aren't the greatest GNR hits.

me too.  fuck a reunion.  and fuck people who think they are speaking 'on behalf of GNR fans'.   the old band was great but its history and those guys all left for their own reasons, so its what was meant to happen.       to the future..

+1!

I REALLY don't want an artificial reunion only for the fuckin' money (Sex pistols, anyone?)!!!!! I don't care about Velvet revolver (bought and sold the album a few months later, Slash just doesn't do it for me anymore...sorry!) and I love the new band, I hope they'll stay together for at least a few years and two or three albums!

[gandra]

I don't want reunion,because they won't to say nothing new
I think Axl vision of gnr in next years are impresive,and i'm a big fan of this band

[Mattattack]

I hope they never reunite myself. I don't believe old GnR could ever recapture the magic they once had, and it would just be a nostalgia thing. GnR was bigger than U2 by the way. U2 has just outlasted every band, and sucked so much industry dick, that they've become the biggest band. If Oasis kissed ass and acted like corporate whores like U2, they would be the biggest band in the world right now. Oh well, after hearing Axl's new material I'm convinced he'll take GnR right back to number one, thank god.

totally agree with you,gnr have been band "who have said something",u2 are commercial band and Bono is one of the most stuppiest guys ever,he told a lot of shit from some nations without any reason(only reason why he said that were tony bler and lady de)

Axk is the man
