Jarmo, did you receive this just now?

What does the plaque say?


A few days ago.
It says: Presented to (name) to commemorate RIAA certified platinum sales of more than 1,000,000 copies of the Geffen Records album "Chinese Democracy"



Thanks again!


/jarmo


That's pretty cool!

I might be reading a bit into this, but it seems like Axl are sending these out to everyone who's been involved in making and/or promoting the record. Closing the chapter on it sort of.

Thanks everybody. Smiley

Thanks to Axl and the GN'R family as well. What a surprise!

Hey Jarmo did you try to play this bad boy? Maybe Axl sent you the next album by mistake?  rofl

Congrats Jarmo!

And nice one for D.J and Frank too!

It is interesting Axl is sending these ones a few years after the actual certification though... Smiley

That award was awarded February 2009. It therefore depends on whether you regard Platinum, within two-three months of release, as a comparative success/failure. I personally believe Chinese Democracy sold mediocre and see no reason to alter my belief. Black Ice for instance was certified 2x Platinum during a similar span of time.
