There's the hardcore fans who will buy it instantly. But there's little to no sort-of-interested group who might pick it up over time. People either care or they don't. The entire middle cut is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I think AFD did extremely well for a bluray of a rock band with one album released in 20+ years and a completely different formation. I'd like to know the numbers excluding those fans who bought multiple copies to "help" the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFA Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I personally don't enjoy the mix on the DVD. Especially Estranged. Somebody kept hitting the wrong chords and sliding into the right notes over and over. Even if it was intentional, it did not sound good.I wonder who that could have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Doing the math: 6,000 copies sold (rough estimate) x $20 (price on Amazon) = $120k. Anyone else think someone lost their shirt on this? I've got to figure they spent more than $120k on producing this thing. Perhaps they can sell more copies during upcoming tours? Might suggest another Vegas residency to justify the production costs, as I would assume the DVD would sell well in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on par with other concert DVDs so they they must have factored that in no?I think it's crazy that's it's not for sale internationally yet.

yourcrazy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 There has been absolutely no promotion for this outside of the talk on forums. I had to dig forIt on a DVD shelf at Best Buy. I wouldn't expect huge sales, but a little promotion would stir interest and bring in some sales. Typical botched opportunity by GnR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Mine finally arrived. Only a few songs in but it's alright so far, only thing bugging me is DJ constantly flipping off the camera and shit. Otherwise it's been enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
