Yes that would be a q - and no the UK is not the home of queer pop. Why did we get the album a week before the US anyway? George has been on all the tv shows plugging his album thats why the lil fag got to number one. No one here even knew there was a GnR album out!!!

Yes it is - you have been doing your homework. I hope GH gets to no 1 (but I doubt it will as George is still the top seller on play.com) And with all the die hand fans being like oh my god I cant buy it man Axl doesnt want me to - then it could still be Katie Melua fighting off Norah at no1.

So, in other words, the .057 percent of the GnR fans who still actually care about the band went out to purchase GH in support of their hero, Axl Rose.
Cmon, people. We're bragging about an album selling 25,000 on its first day. Did you hear that? 25,000. Thats nothing. I can't believe how some of you still carry on about GnR "taking over" the rock world again. This band is a novelty act and a nostalgia act...and thats all Axl will ever be from here on out. If you don't believe me, then get a copy of the '88 Ritz show....THAT was Axl Rose....THAT was GnR. Axl is a middle-aged man and he knows his glory days are behind him...thats why he's so afraid to release anything and be dismissed as a vital artist. He knows that if that happens, he'll become the new David Lee Roth...a joke...a former great, fallen from glory.
At this point, I don't think we'll ever see CD. Then why keep following GnR? Because its interesting, I guess. I don't really have any more expectations left....I just follow GnR because its more interesting than most anything else going on in the music world today.
how is 25,000 nothing??? A band with no proper releases in 5 years sells 25,000 copies in 1 day in one pretty small country. Thats quite impressive. |

I just heard on Top of the pops:
"will it be George Michael or Guns N' Roses that knock Kate Melua off the album top spot". So it must be doing well despite everything it has going against it.
Poor GH album it's not his fault lol Tell you what though TSI is relieved to have the basterd son of GN'R - tag taken away from it lol (babble humor)

I'm sure that "Chinese Democracy", IF it's released one day, will be a number 1 album in LOTS OF countries in the world.

I'm not all that surprised... The Illusion tour DVDs were no1 and no2 the week they were released.. The thing is though, that I've seen almost no promotion for the CD. I hope it does well. Just so that people like me can see that the audience still cares for them, and that it's not only me who misses GN'R..

It's truly amazing how Guns n' Roses makes very good in the charts today in 2004 with all these shits happen....
I hope "chinese democracy" will be released one day. It will be a number 1 album, definitely. definitely.
