Popular Post Millions Posted January 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm so sick of reading all the bullshit, conspiracy theories and weak, ill-founded speculation about why Chinese Democracy 2 hasn't been released in 5 years.1) Axl has lost his confidence ;2) The record company is furious at Axl's lack of promotion for Chinese Democracy so is being awkward ;3) Axl is holding out for more money.Blah blah blah fucking blah........Listen. Chinese Democracy was a commercial flop. It was an album full of utterly mediocre songs - like It's The World, Scraped, Rhiad......So if those songs were the first pick from the archive, what are the left-over dregs going to be like?Bob Ezrin said it years ago - the quality songs just aren't there. End of story.That, as they say, is that. Deal with it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfuckinga Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 ^^ Claims to be sick of all the bullshit, conspiracy theories and weak, ill-founded speculation about why Chinese Democracy 2 hasn't been released in 5 years, adds more bullshit, conspiracy theories and weak, ill-founded speculation about why Chinese Democracy 2 hasn't been released in 5 years. Also remember how Axl would talk about the album being a trilogy? Maybe the next part of the story is getting fine tuned. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcano62 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 How in the hell could Interscope be furious at AXL'S lack of promotion if they didn't do shit to promote it either?This^^^^I see Lady Gaga ads shoved down our throats on buses and bus shelters, billboards on highways, in malls, tv ads etc...I seen 0 for Chinese Demcoracy besides a few 20 second tv spots.WWE and CFL did more to promote CD than the label did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 How in the hell could Interscope be furious at AXL'S lack of promotion if they didn't do shit to promote it either?Except they actually did.I saw commercials on TV for CD.I saw ads in magazines for CD.I saw ads in newspapers for CD.And let's not forget that they gave Axl 14 million dollars to create the album.What more could they have done?I suppose the label could have sent workers door-to-door to people's houses around the world with copies of CD.**********And funny the Axl worshippers aren't telling the OP why he is wrong, but instead are just making fun of him. Sort of their typical strategy in defending everything Axl does. Ignore the facts, attack the poster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(20 seconds of cheap forced promo doesn't count)I saw ads in magazines for CD. (never ever saw anything in a magazine besides reviews...are you just making that up?)I saw ads in newspapers for CD.

wfuckinga Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I have never seen a newspaper or magazine ad for CD, only magazine reviews of CD. The biggest but of promotion I've seen is the Chinese Democracy: November 23 poster that I have hanging in my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
