GNR Sold Out

[BucketRose]

 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.

Yup...I think of some of the Warner Brothers GH compilations that have been around for years....many of them have gone multi-platinum.  In several years, if GnR GH stays on the shelves, who's to say that it won't go multi-platinum...and outsell C.D.?(if its ever released)

They've sold out of all GN'R DVDs in my local MVC store they had tons the other week, anyway back on the topic of Greatest Hits when i went into MVC today they had a GN'R stand - i was drawn towrds it obviously and they had all the GN'R CDS including the Greatest Hits there, i looked at the inlay and all looks pretty cool and despite what people have said appetite was not incorrectly spelt, it was ?11.99 and you could buy it and a GN'R t-shirt combined for ?19.99 pretty cool just though i'd share it all with you

The point is though it doesn't need to does it?  He/or they (inc old GN'R) will never top AFD. So everybody needs to mentally stop trying to compare success with that album. It's a landmark album, where they had years of building up all their history, all the angst, experiences, pain, ideas and it all made an incredible album.  They have done what all bands dream of in that one album. Let alone what they did with the Illusions  and the touring -incredible.

See from now on, as so much time has passed. Aslong as it's a creatively good album the sales of it  doesn't matter. While we all hope it does well and it will do reasonably well, even in the "worst" case it will reach Top 10/20 because of the name and curiosity alone.  

I'm just wondering how many of those "dead against it's" ended up buying the GH lol  who's going to admit it?? lol  
The sods law is I'm all for it, but haven't bought it yet- waiting for student grant lol

all it NEEDS to sell is 2-3 million (maybe a little more after the band gets their %) for geffen to get the $13 million back that they have invested in chinese democracy because that is the whole point of the GH album, at that point i wouldnt be suprised if GNR was dropped from the label or went somewhere else on their own
