people dont seem to understand the importance of promotion. if this album is not promoted appropriately then it will be the end of gnr or new gnr at least. i am certain that the label will promote this album properly and in the traditional way similar to any other major release - a single 1 month prior to album release, video, tv and radio ads, magazines.... if album leaks then album will get released in less then a month.
there is not going to be any different that any other major release, and to people who thing that guns do things differently meaning not the traditional way(regarding the album release) they are wrong, is up to the label. it's not 1993 anymore when guns had power over the label. that power is long gone specially when label has invested $13 million in the making of this album.
if we dont hear anything by the end of january then forget the march release.
my personal opinion is that it's to quite in gnr world at the moment which means more delays for the album. remember this folks no news is not good news regarding the CD release, no news=label doesnt have the album.
axl rose still has a lot of power at universal..... the $13 million investment is one of the reasons....
HAHA ... good point. Reminds me of an old saying about owing the bank money, I'll adapt it :
If you owe the record company $1 Million dollars from the making of an album, you have a problem.
If you owe the record company $13 Million dollars from the making of an album, the record company has a problem.
