Allen8R Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Since Axl will likely generate the larger part of sales I thought it would allright to post in this section...Anyone have a link to the numbers?A8R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrealer Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Since this is a Baz album featuring Axl, I decided to move it to My World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzbub Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I checked billboard.com, but couldn't find sales for the album. The site does, however, contain a review for Angel Down, which is among the most absurd things I have read in weeks: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/discography...amp;aid=1090155.

I like the album and am glad it's getting good press. Hopefully it will also have good sales- I'm sure the appearance of Uncle Axl on the album will help the cause . . .I will say its a good album.Some really good tunesAnd I personally think "BAz' is a fuckin geezer and have never been a fan.but the CD is what it is, its pretty goodY'know, here in England, being a 'geezer' is a good thing...What do you mean?Sometimes it means an old guy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing . . .

tat2d1 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I tried to buy it this weekend while out Christmas shopping and everywhere was sold out. Apparently Sebastian is still a pretty popular guy, more than I thought anyhow. An employee at Target told me they had gotten in 20 copies and it sold out within a few hours!

mjtoomey Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The sales are going to be fucking DISMAL! Don't care about sales if you're into this kind of music...not to mention the totally obscurity of the record. They buried it in the Bs at Newbury Comics...not shelved with the new releases or even on the edge of the shelves like less anticipated new releases often are. You all say you can't find the thing...If VR only sold about 250 thou to DATE...which had a decently popular radio single, decent promotional spots like that Nissan live sets thing and the AOL feauture with samples, Bach is not going to be running to the bank with this one.

frisbee Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Have you guys listened to the album? It kicks total ass, straight up. Sales will depend on the press it gets, obviously. I hope this album does well, it is seriously wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCGNR Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I tried to buy it this weekend while out Christmas shopping and everywhere was sold out. Apparently Sebastian is still a pretty popular guy, Perhaps you should consider that instead of the mad rush by Christmas lunatics to get their hands on Angel Down, that maybe the stores you tried never actually carried it? As for you second point, I'll respond to that as soon as I stop laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for you second point, I'll respond to that as soon as I stop laughing Nice way to only quote part of my post. I said that I asked for it at Target. There was a spot in the cd section where it was supposed to be, so i asked an employee. He told me they had gotten in 20 copies and it sold out within a few hours. I asked for it at Best Buy and was told that they had only gotten a few copies in and it went rather quickly. Circuit City was my 3rd attempt and they just told me that they didn't have it. So, i tried the Meijer store and they didn't have it either. So, I know for a fact that it sold out in 2 out of the 4 places i tried.Just because maybe YOU don't like Baz, maybe you're underestimating his popularity a bit. I'm not saying that he's gonna get a gold or platinum record, but the dude does have a decent and seemingly loyal following, as shown by the ratings on the multiple crappy ( with the exception of Forever Wild- which I liked) VH1 shows he's hosted and been a part of. Sebastian has been able to remain in the public eye throughout the years. Don't forget about 3 successful Broadway productions he was part of too His personality is "over the top", but the dude has talent,IMO.

axlslash Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I just got the record - good piece of work. Baz is in great form with his voice (excellent screams, and the normal singing is great as well), the band is in great shape, and the genre mixes of ballads and rockers is quite good. I'm a big fan of the ballads. Axl isn't even a determining factor in anything - great record with or without him. I give it 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
