what if Axl doesn't appears...

[cpaxlvacy]

ok, i was thinking what if we don't hear from Axl on monday, or next week, or in months or years, it's kinda crazy and probably (and i'm sure) i'm wrong, maybe he wants to do it this way and he's waiting for the release of th ealbum, but man it scares me a little, maybe he was forced to release the album, why declined the mtv interview? maybe this is the reason Robin wanted to leave the band...what do you think?

if they made him release it, then that would make him do this. i hope he appears, its hurting sales to do it this way.

anything is possible with GNR, i wouldnt put anything past Axl..all we can dois wait and see

[Phrozen_Inferno]

i think it hurts more sales having the entire album streamed on myspace

^  true

Take a good long listen to Scrapped and you'll realize why he wasnt forced to do this

I love Axl... but WTF...where is he... Where is Beta?
Where is Vanessa?  The last time anyone noted him
was at an Elton John party?  and before that.. was
last year putting the fire out at his house..
Where are these people... We love you Axl!
Where are you??

I dont think it will hurt sales...plenty of bands do this leading up to the release.  Its really a toss up...

If Axl came over badly in an interview it could hurt sales....

I haven't read a review yet that's said "this record is shit" but have seen a few that say "long wait...not the REAL guns n roses...14/17 years...only original member..BLAH".

If Axl came over badly in an interview it may add to the "axl's a prick, it's not the real Guns" factor in reviews/opinions and could maybe affect sales. This could be part of the reason he hasn't done anything yet - maybe he's waiting for initial reveiws/sales figures to come in.

or maybe he's just putting it off because he knows some smart ass interviewer is gonna get him to read out the myspace address so that he has to say "Slash" and "Guns N' Roses" in the same scentence.

haha, yeah, but seriously, they are no longer taking a blind eye to leakage, at least they are getting hits for something that will happen inevitably.

  Its weird how this site has taken a 360, a thread with a radio station streaming the album just got locked because it was considered a leak.   After housing leaks for the past 5 years and welcoming them through certain channels, they have reverted to not even allowing its members to talk about radio stations that are streaming the songs, like were all in a cave or something and if they dont let us see it we wont find it and the album wont be ruined for anyone. 

Come on Mods, I know your better, if someone wants to hear it they will, we dont need actual info being blocked, I remember when this site focused on blocking bullshit not stuff that is actually happening.

Not at all. If anything helps. Gets exposure, people talking, people excited.

I have to be honest....


WHERE IS ALL THE ADVERTISING!?!?!?!

Everyone I know if that are non-GNR fans have no idea what is going on unless I tell them, it is pathetic.  This is so huge and so far Azoff or whatever fails.

I saw a bunch like a week or 2 ago, football commercials and internet and stuff and its kinda just fell off since, well see, I really think the music will eventually speak for itself, it might take a while but this album will make some money no matter what.
