ITW 2012 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Do you think Axl's got a magic number in mind? How many copies does CD need to sell in America before he ends the CD Tour and releases CD II? I get the sense that Axl's going to keep the CD Tour going until the album goes platinum (sales, not units shipped) in the US.

After I posted that, I realized it said "not sold in stores" at the bottom of the page. So I deleted it. Figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm hoping he puts out a CD-Era set featuring the other unreleased tracks from that era, and let's the new band start new with fresh songs and ideas for the next actual record. Edit: IMO, putting out the other CD Era tracks in a set would be a really smart way to tide the fans over while we're waiting for the them to record the next album Edited November 11, 2011 by sofine11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is CD?I guess Axl thought that it just wouldn't be a real Chinese Democracy Tour if you were able to walk into a store and buy a copy of the album?

kittengirl Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 The question you're asking should probably be "How many copies of CD have to sell before the RECORD LABEL will consider releasing CD2?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 They should do a sort of Chinese Democracy Platinum pledge drive. They could get a countdown clock going on Facebook or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roush Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I don't think artistic relevance is at the forefront, ya know? CD was essentially a bunch of incidental leaks capped with 3 random tracks. I really wish Axl took the "Oh My God" approach, and persevered with an awesome, creative record that had no ties to GN'R. He was talented, ambitious, youngish, pissed off, and had something to prove. Would it not have been cool to see Axl in an intimate club with a few L.A. musicians jamming weird 'Axl' songs? But the current material speaks for itself. I think between label pressure, lawsuits, recording loans, and the press having their way with him - it crippled the simplicity of playing live music. And more importantly - playing whatever he felt like. We ended up with, essentially, an Axl solo record with too much polish. It tried pleasing too many critics, and it failed. But therein lie the true GN'R spirit. A lyrical ethos based on self-destruction, and youth - by definition alone - cannot last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
