Tom-Ass Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 12 hours ago, Nosaj Thing said: It sold around 3-3.5 million, which, to be honest, is a lot - considering that garbage album is an unlistenable piece of shit. Not too mention all the copies that were ordered but didn't sell and ended up in the 99 cent bucket. The interest in the album was highly miscalculated. I am pretty sure no one ever had to restock their shelves with Chinese Democracy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) No guys! STOP! "GNR" took over the world with CD. It sold 7 million copies in the USA and extrapolated 100 bi worldwide. Axl and his brothers worked together and came up with the music and the release date. Actually Axl was recieving direct orders from Tommy General Stuson about how to sing. It was a real band!!!!!!11 It says GUNS N ROSES in the cover that makes it automatically a band. Trent Reznor calls himself NINE INCH NAILS and that turns him into a band too. A person is a band!

North Korean Democracy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Back on the original topic, Slither would sound awesome with Axl's low voice but sadly I don't think they'll ever perform it. I'm sure that Slither was put in the setlist pic as an inside joke of how Axl will never play it.

I'm not saying I'm certain they'll play it, but it's definitely been on the setlist as an alternate every night. Many people have mentioned this, but it's happened before. Perfect Crime was an alternate on the entire 2006 tour but wasn't played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Korean Democracy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Maybe Slash's solo career was more succesful than Axl's but at the end of the Axl-Slash feud, Axl won by making Slash play Chinese Democracy songs, especially Sorry. It's not really surprising since Slash has always been under Axl's thumb. First Axl made him play a racist song like One in a Million when he's half black and now he made him play a diss track about him. It wouldn't surprise me if Axl made Slash apologize to him for making him say he's a cancer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenYou'reTalkinToYourself Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Am I the only one who doesn't feel Slither fits Axl's voice? Especially the chorus. Also, Slash has some better songs in his solo career (not that popular though). That said, I would like to hear it. It would be something different. And he may prove me wrong.

Free Bird Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'd have nothing against them playing Slither or FTP. But first of all I would like to hear them do Anastasia. That's a hell of a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl got everything else, including Slash playing his Chinese excrement. Slash really must have needed the cash to demean himself to playing 'Sorry'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlCole Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 It's amusing to me how many of you look at the beauty of what's going on up there on stage night after night..... a gift we've all been given, really.... and turn it into a negative of someone having 'won' and someone having 'lost'. I almost garauntee you.... hell, I'd damn near bet my life.... that they both consider this whole tour a major win for all parties involved and neither feels like they've lost anything other than a lot of pent up anger and negative feelings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 For Slash to play 'Sorry' is a bit like Slash stepping up to the microphone and saying, ''I'm the cancer. I'm the cunt who lied in my book. It was all my fault and Axl is god''. As I previously stated in an, ehh, deleted post, it would be like Paul McCartney singing 'How Do You Sleep?'. It is humiliating watching him stoop this low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Slither and especially the chorus is very different compared to everything else I've heard Axl sing. That doesn't automatically mean that Axl couldn't pull it off though. He has many different voices and would be interesting to hear Axl's Slither for sure. Oh and lol at the people who still think Sorry is about Slash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is humiliating watching him stoop this low. This is very presumptuous on so many levels. He's no 'stooping' to anything. He's on top of the world in a way neither him nor Axl has been in decades, while at the same time being sober and having none of the drama that went along with his previous successes. By all indications, he's probably enjoying this success at a level he's never been able to enjoy it in his life. If that's 'humiliating', simply because he played a song you _assume_ is about him (as if he'd give a fuck one way or another when deciding if he'll play it or not) then we should all be so lucky as to be 'humiliated' like that. I mean, seriously, even if it _is_ about him: Do you think big time musicians have never played songs by other band members who wrote about them in a negative way? Hell, that was literally the formula of one of the biggest records of all time: Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours".
