Libertad debuts well below Contraband

[COMAMOTIVE]

Libertad is such an average album that I think it will be the death of this band as we know it

[D]

I really really love Libertad now.


I listened to it at work today and people at work Loved it.


This one guy i work with went crazy for "The Last Fight" He wanted to hear it over and over.

I've tried pretty hard D

It just ain't happening

I hear a bored, generic effort.

Last fight is basically Sour Girl and I'm sure a lot of people will like when it's overplayed on the radio ( it will be)

I guess my problem with album is that it sounds like a Weiland solo album and Slash sound like a random guitar player backing him up, and that's a shame

Nothing random about Can't Get You Out of My head or messages.

Or Let it Roll.  Or American Man. 

Slash is Slash.  I agree though there is a lot of Weiland.

libertad has 2 versions most other cd's do not and they still have 2 cd's in the top 30 on itunes check it out.

[leoroses]

I haven't seen the Australian charts, but when I was at my local cd store last week, Libertad was positioned at number 10 on the wall amongst the top 10 albums.

[oldgunsfan]

there are a few reasons that contraband did better than libertad in its first week......

1. contraband is better than libertad

2. cd sales are going down every year because of downloading.

3. She builds quick machines was a shitty choice as a first single

4. the single got no radio airlplay.

5.? this is probably the most important reason.....Guns N Roses are around touring and being active....alot of the curiosity about VR was because GNR were nowhere to be found...

I doubt GnR has anything to do with it, they are touring Japan, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

Libertad drops 66% from last week, with a second week sales total of 32,946.  Brutal

ouch, that hurts

I think they would have done better if they released Let It Roll or something else as a single.

Agreed. I think they'll have to put out the next single sooner than planned.

Attention RCA, your rock band's album is on life support... please release a new single.

[DeN]

yes a new single.
and a good one this time, thx.

mary mary for example.

I know it's all down to personal taste and personal opinion, but that song is rubbish.

I disagree with the notion that they have to release a big rocker, but if they were to, I have to say that "Mary, Mary" is not the answer.  The answer would be in my estimation to be "Let It Roll".

I think to help the album's sales, "The Last Fight" is the answer.

Your personal taste is the same as mine, I guess because I think that rubbish is being too kind for that song

[Bodhi]

this is crazy that libertad is doing so badly....when contraband came out NOBODY but hardcore GNR and STP fans even knew who they were...i remember having to explain to everyone who Velvet Revolver was months after contraband came out.....now that they are an established band i thought this record would be doing alot better......

My favorite tune on the record, love it.

I'm happy if you find enjoyment from it, but it does nothing for me at all.
