I don't know if its been posted yet, but heres how the high baron of pop culture hears it...

Chuck Klosterman reviews Chinese Democracy | The A.V. Club

[.:M3lly:.]

Yep it was failed, He headlined Rock n Rio III in 2001 the biggest fesivial in the world and was asked to do it again last year but didn't play it because BH left.

When Chinese Democracy comes out it will be huge, don't you worry. As for Axls pityful comeback, yet I guess selling out MSG in 15 mins and selling out other huge cities like boston and pitt is bad. And that was with no album or promotion. The fact is gnr sold more tix to their shows than VR has on their tours.

It will sell over 10m world wide without a problem.

How come?

You are crazy if you think any of those banRAB were bigger than guns n roses. I would say you know nothing about music if you really believe that. Its not even close. Guns n roses WERE the biggest band in the world since the beatles. Nirvana were not even close to being as big as guns n roses were in the early 90s.

Here is just a little proof for you. Guns n Roses headlined the biggest show in the world in 1991 (rock n rio II). Were you even old enough when the UYIs were released? Look at the hype the day those albums were released at midnight, the lines were insane, and no band since the beatles and or after that day in 1991 had seem soo many people waiting in line for a rock albums sold in that one night/day.

Gnr are the only act to hold the top two album spots in both the UK and US on the week of releasing both recorRAB with the UYIs.


Over 7 million people saw guns n roses on the UYI tour, that is more than all those banRAB you mentioned corabined.

If nirvana was bigger than guns n roses in the early 90s, how come in 1992 guns n roses headlined the MTV music awarRAB and not nirvana?

Also guns n roses sold more albums those all of those banRAB (including nirvana) in the 90s with less albums (gnr only really had 3 real albums)

Here are just a few show dates that guns n roses played in 1993 and you try and tell me with a straight face that any of those banRAB you mentioned were bigger.


May 27th, 1992 - 75, 000 people at the Cannstatter Wasen in Stuttgart, Germany.
June 21st, 1992 - The band flies to Basel, Switzerland.
Another sold-out show at the 50,000 capacity St Jakob Stadium in Basel, Switzerland.
June 27th, 1992 - Show in Turin, Italy at the Della Alpi Stadium in front of 65,000 fans.
June 3rd, 1992 -Hannover, Germany to play at the Niedersachsen Stadium in front of a crowd of 60,000.
Noveraber 25th, 1992 - Caracas, Venezuela. In the absence of a suitable venue, the show is played outside one in a parking lot in front of 45,000. The biggest show ever staged in Venezuela.
Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv, Israel. Over 40 000 fans had gathered to see GN'R at the biggest concert held in Israel.
June 12th, 1993 - Show in front of 31 000 at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden
June 22nd, 1993 - Played in front of 50,000 at Wildparkstadion in Karlsruhe, Germany.
July 8th, 1993 - Nancy, France for a show in front of 20,000 Zenith arena.
July 16th, 1993 - Play in front of 70,000 at River Plate Stadium.


Yeah like any of those banRAB even came close to playing in front of that many people at any one show. I am sorry but guns n roses were the biggest band since the beatles in the early 90s.

It could be anywhere from 3-7 mil outside the US. It debuted at #1 in a bunch of other countries, (including the UK, and it debuted at #3 in the US). Also, it was expected to sell around 10 million copies by this year...or maybe last year, I can't remeraber.

Umm, they never will? Chinese Democracy will probaly sell 5-12 million copies worldwide, if they promote it...at all. VR's debut album, Contraband, sold around 3 million copies in the US, which is pretty good because not that many people really know about them. So, because Axl is still using the Guns N' Roses name, it could sell twice as much as Contraband.

Ok, and that's fine if you don't like them. Nothing I can do about that, but for people who actually like the band, and don't think Axl has to check himself into rehab...for some weird reason..., let us enjoy them.
