Reflections and Discussions on Axl's answer for CD.Com - Use this thread , thx

[jammy235]

how exactly does it help axl to stir up contreversary on the gn'r boards. everyone here already has a copy of cd.

if he wanted to sell more copies then doing a few talk shows would be far more effective.




the article is strange. the headline is quite anti-axl but the content is very pro-axl. odd.

shes waiting...

Did shit on the charts?  i guess you've been looking at different charts than some other people.

As for "bad"/"disappointing" US sales, which part of Best Buy exclusive + some people have to drive 40 miles to get to their nearest BB, don't you understand as a factor handicapping the sales to begin with?

it looks like that is just your opinion so I'll merge it with the thread reflections and discussion on axl's answers...

anyway... as Karin said that's his own backyard... most of us in here (not to say all of us) have already bought a copy (or multiple copies) of the chinese democracy album... he does not need to promote the album to us... we are following no matter what... am I wrong on that? if not all... most of us...

why should he go to press that they have been giving him all this shit all over the years?

there is a band... and many of the members have been in this band more years than the old members...

also if Axl really cared about the sales he would have put out several cds all these years... but guess what... all his cares about is GOOD MUSIC...

I am sure that he knows better what it worths... and the promotion will come sooner or later

hi axl, i'm from argentina so excuse me if my english isn't good jaja., it cant believe i'm talking to you, i wanna say that i admire you as an artist and that your music inspired me, i can't explain how i identify with all the lyrics someway. I read all the questions, so i wont ask you if you are coming to argentina i hope so!. besides all the shit the media said and all the troubles at the concent did you enjoy argentina? the fans here? and why did you choose that part of the School of Athens - by Raphael for de use your illusions album?

You are being played : Axl Rose needs this controversy to promote his album. That's why he's talking now: he has something to sell.

Shit, I thought he was going to invite me over to his house for tea and sandwiches 

So what if Axl IS playing us? He's doing what a lot of fans asked for and more. Everyone who does interviews with the media plays the media, they don't do it to hang out with Rolling Stone journalists. He's got an album out and he's telling us about it. I don't feel too abused right now. We're not forced to post questions to him.
