Jackamo! Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) I did some simple math..CHINESE DEMOCRACY13 Million Dollars13 Songs---------------------------EACH SONG COSTS A MILLION BUCKS!MY ESTIMATIONS:"Chinese Democracy" = $13,000"Silkworms" = $28"Madagascar" = $555,000"Rhiad" = $180"Better" = $200,000"TWAT" = $44,000 From what my ears tell me, we have yet to hear a song worth the price.Discuss.

sweetness Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 No, but Im not sure rating a song by how much its worth money-wise makes all that much sense. Songs mean different things to different people and can be pretty deep.However, the amount of money spent on this album for the kind of matterial we've heard so far doesnt even up. But I dont really know why it was so expensive, what was there to spend so much money on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergito Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Sorry... but UYI I&II and Appetite were made with less money and most of their songs are PriceLess.From the new songs TWAT is priceless.The rest is average, or looked from a different way..., they are not worth a million dollar each one..

inthisriver Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 the twat 6 43 version is priceless to me atleastTWAT is amazing. IRS has really grown on me too. And I like the others too. I guess I'm not very picky. And you got to know that their are going to be even better songs on the album. What we've heard is great but its probably not even the best.Rock OnTbizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaSouL Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Money doesn't buy good art. Axl's art results in monetary investment, not the other way around.~M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadlaser Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 "Silkworms" = $28silkworms is worth 13 million in itself. and that's lowballing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOSIER GUNZ Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I bet another leak or debut track is just right around the corner. It would not surprise me if it were a track no one has ever heard before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Seal Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 In reality no money was spent on those songs. Axl just used the 13 mil to throw off huge private parties during his 'dark years'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmygod Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Your math has some plotholes. They've been doing at least 3-4 albums. So one song would cost less than a million bucks. beautiful point, one that no haters here probably wants to realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevvan Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Madagascar is worth less than CITR. 5 new Gnrsongs beat madagascar, though it isn't bad. Release the fuccin album, 5 hit singles is enough:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarmyBritJo Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 It's the end result not how much it cost to get there, Axl spent tens of thousands on Wmbley's fines to play past 23.00, it's just the way he is! The costs would've added up over the years slowly anyway, I'm sure we'll all be pleased as punch with the album when it comes out.Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandman Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 That's a retarded concept. Factor in:Studio TimePaying musiciansPaying people who work at the studioPaying for food and drinkPaying for accomodationPaying for other artists to collaborate withPaying for those to make artworkPaying for those to mix the workPaying the managersPay royalties (Madagascar quotes etc.)And the list goes on...It's not valuing a song, it's the whole process. From conception, you've got to factor in all the above and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
