RichardNixon Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) sunnydre is still sore about ''one in a million''Then why registrar on a GN'R board 20+ years after the fact? I suppose having a picture of a pouty riot grrrl gives you some kind of hipster steet cred? Edited June 25, 2011 by RichardNixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardNixon Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Another poster I assume? Nope. Look at when I joined. I used to post on HTGTH, under this SN, and that's it. I've been a member here years now, but I hardly ever post. I generally just lurk. Edited June 25, 2011 by RichardNixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nambis Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 the 14 mill wasn't a loan.so what, exactly, is your point? what i'm saying is that Best Buy BOUGHT all of the copies UPFRONT, which is why so many were produced and there is now an excess being sold at $1.97. I don't see how you can argue with that, and now you're resorting to vague, cryptic statements like the one I quote here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) doesn't change the fact that it's a great album It's an average album.It's a terrible album.See? 3 different opinions and no drama. That's how it should always be. Edited June 27, 2011 by Chewbacca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardNixon Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Chinese Democracy isn't terrible. If you liked the UYI albums, there should be a few songs that you like from CD. As M would say to Bond, take your ego out of the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how the exclusive deals work or else there would be no incentive whatsoever for the record company to only sell the record at one store. Anyone who doesn't get that probably won't get it no matter how much you explain it to them.The record company likely at least got their money back off this project considering the huge sum Best Buy paid for the US exclusive plus the millions sold internationally.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm thinking we should buy up all the copies and build a Chinese Democracy diorama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm still waiting for someone to post Slashie's sales totals with VR's two albums. Because from my research, it would seem that some people in this thread are moronic dipshits for talkin smack about CD's sales totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash even put out singles complete with videos, something Axl has failed to do, for whatever reason ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 But again, I am have no idea how Slash enters into this coversation. it's the "go to" defense when there's no defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is over 6 times more expensive then Chinese."So, that's how Slash enters into the conversation.
