I guess the new band really has ruined the GN'R name since the Greatest Hits album is selling better than Live Era did (which was released before the new band had even played one show).  Tongue

Before we start thinking they sold a gazillion copies - let's ponder the fact they might have had limited stock to start with.

nah, casual fans probably thought GN'R were split up when Liva Era was released, and they most likely still do!

and they're right, right?

Honestly, the new GnR had zero impact on this CD selling at all. I am sure their plus/minus is zero.

The promotion probably helped a hell of a lot. Live Era had close to zero. It was also at a time when CD's cost more, plus it was a double album. Plus its a great CD for a casual listener. Live Era was not.

Live albums generally don't sell very well anyway.
I don't think that Greatest Hits is selling just because of the new band, especially when there are NO new band songs on there.

I didn't say it was selling because of the new band.

Some people like to blame Axl for ruining the name Guns N' Roses, obviously people are still buying GN'R albums.

I think people understand that the new band is different from the old one....

When do U.S album sales info come out? can you find out the day after? or is it a week? anyways over at play.com its listed as the #2 best seller behind that bastard george michaels. and is that new eminem cd "eminem is back" a new album with original material? Just wondering because I would have thought he would be at #1 unless he has lost alot of fans since his last release.

I think most people are unaware that a new GNR exists.  

Of those who are aware, I doubt all that many would be deterred from buying a GH CD because of Axl's current lineup... especially when that lineup is non-existant in the GNR section at music stores.

Nice topic title!  Better be the same for U.S. as well.  Maybe the record company is trying to get the GN'R name back out there and it's all going to work out for the better.

From what I can tell, GH is selling fairly well....so I think there's a good chance that if C.D. is ever released, it won't be able to outsell GH.  Before you say I'm full of shit...just remember that GH is built on the momentum of a band that was able to sell 80 million records worldwide.  People know and love these songs...as for the nu-GnR...it remains to be seen how good the music will be.  My guess is that it won't be able to hold up to the old GnR's catalogue.  The nu-GnR isn't even recognized as "true" GnR by most fans...so I'll bet that many of the potential buyers from C.D. would distance themselves from C.D....due to Axl's absurd insistence to call his solo band GnR.  You'd never know it if you spent all your time hanging out on this board for your GnR perspective....but there are ALOT of GnR fans out there who are pissed off that Axl is still calling his hired band Guns N Roses.

greatest hits albums always sell good, has nothin to do with the new members of the band or what gnr is or isnt doing at the moment,  the diehard fans are going to buy it even tho they already have every song and people that maybe have or havent bought any GNR albums but know they like a few of their songs will buy it just so they can have all the "greatest" songs on one CD.  Most bands greatest hits albums do better sales than their regular albums.  The Eagles greatest hits album is the best selling album of all time.  Tho I dont see the GNR GH album selling anywhere close to AFD.
