more than 5 million GNR facebookers

[Vadin]

for a band so inactive... one most wonder, what is up with facebook people?

why do they like GNR?

is it trendy?

or it's just pure accident... even though a band so opposite in action,

such as U2 for example has around 7.2 mil.

and now GNR has 6.4 mil.

why is that?

ha?! punk!?

could it be the music? nah.

yeah I know they are about old GNR tunes, but still here they are, and they still like GNR.

do you imagine the amount of people following now, that they would follow Axl's band the same way?

and just to put some salt in there, wasn't from the start what GNR was about, that is - GNR was Axl's band? ha?

or do you thing it's an accident the fact that GNR was for so long and still is Axl's?

it is because he identify mostly with the concept,

which, again, I may remind you, he invented it. just saying. B)

GNR are the greatest band in the world still in 2011 that is a fact.

GNR's been touring an album for 10 years... they have, in the book become a nostalgia act... they merely play the new songs and they have to play the old classics hits to keep the energy going, just like another 80's band

but hey if that translates for you in the greates rock band... well try keeping a bit away form facebook from time to time

here is an 80's band for you... http://www.facebook.com/MotleyCrue and see they have what? 800.000 people.

and... http://www.facebook.com/Poison with 200.000 people.

and just so you know, rock bands that are extremely popular these days like Kings of Leon http://www.facebook.com/KingsOfLeon?v=app_178091127385 have just more than 7 mil. or Muse (which I like)

http://www.facebook.com/muse have about 8.3mil

and http://www.facebook.com/Nickelback?v=app_5179614317

whom last album, which came out in the same time with Chinese Democracy sold way more units and stood in the charts for so long, have just 6.6 mil likes on Facebook.

and the best selling artists of 2010 in concert that is http://www.facebook.com/BonJovi have just more than 9.2 mil

\

so, are you for real?

Bon Jovi has more Facebook fans than GN'R?! God, I'm losing my faith in humanity.

I don't get this either.

Also they sold out something like 10 shows (night after night) at the 02 in London last year. What the hell!?

Bizarre. I don't think I know one person who would go see Bon Jovi. And even if they had a fantastically successful tour, Guns' legacy should still give them an advantage on Facebook. Cause it's not like that Bon Jovi tour was massively reported on or anything. The added FB fans should equal the casual concert goers.

[Guest Sleeping Like An Angel]

Yeah and Bon Jovi have like one good well known song really to be fair (globally I mean before anyone comes to attack me). Must have good promotion skills or something.

[moreblack]

Bon Jovi are still huge worldwide AND in North America, they've always been mainstream commercial so this shouldn't be a surprise. Frankly it's weird that some are just finding this out.

I'd say a bigger shock for a band so recent-ish is Linkin Park's numbers. But then again this IS their generation...

Yeah but their mainstream success seem so far away. Don't know about their line-up this year but a UYI type Guns line-up would most certainly be a bigger draw and they had huge mainstream success back in the day.

I agree with you on Linkin Park though, although I'm not even sure if it's "their generation". They had a couple of years in the spotlight the way I see it. Very outdated music already.

Their single/albums sales numbers are definitely not what they used to be, but they still pack the stadiums. Big huge tours in 2008 and this past year.
