Has good response to GH made Axl change mind?

[holidayidol]

Looks like the GH lawsuit may not be going any further:

I have emailed Dale Fischer's clerk (Paul Pierson), and I got this as a response

With regard to your inquiry, the plaintiffs have filed a Notice of
Dismissal and the matter is no longer at issue

It basically means, Axl has dropped the case. It will NOT be going to court

Good news I think

(again, creditted to the admin at the rumor board)

Do you think Axl and management have figured they would lose anyway, or have really good sales changed their mind?

[HoldenCaulfield]

It's possible, but I dunno. It wouldn't surprise me. I think they may have thought the public wouldn't buy into it, but the public has overwhelmingly snatched it up.

[Buddha_Master]

what is overwhelming actually. What are the numbers in the U.S.?

[HoldenCaulfield]

Maybe "overwhelming" is the wrong word. I don't have exact US numbers, but they're sure it might reach over 100k in the first week.

I think this is the kind of thing Mysteron can check for us?

I forsure think Axl and Sanctuary thought the album would flop almost immediately after being released, but to their surprise ir is actually a selling success. I hope it gave Axl a confidence boost as to the current selling power of the name, and restored some faith and confidence back in his current lineup. For CD's sake, I just hope Geffen wont hold a grudge to Axl persueing blocking the release of Greatest Hits.
