ManetsBR Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I searched a few GNR related terms on Google Trends, out of curiosity. Unfortunately it only goes back to 2004. Still, the results are very interesting:Guns N' Roses peaked on November 2008:Axl peaked on October 2011:Chinese Democracy peaked on November 2008 as well:Slash peaked on April 2010:I made some comparisons as well: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twenty-nine Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So if I'm reading those right, CD craps on anything Slash has done?Yes, except for Slash himself, who, to use your description, craps on Axl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfriend Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 This may sound pedantic, but 'Slash' as a term doesn't necessarily only refer to the musician. Certainly not in the terms that someone who searches 'Axl Rose' is clearly searching for something to do with the one guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 You can pick "Slash" (guitarist) instead of "search term" and the results are the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So if I'm reading those right, CD craps on anything Slash has done?Maybe, but you can't say that without VR and Contraband in this trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER PT Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Tks Manets ...It's interesting to see that Portugal is one of the countries in Europe, where GN'R is more relevant ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmapelian Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It looks like people only care about Axl in south America whereas slash has people that care in south, North America and Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 A few things worth pointing out.1. Axl has the GnR name, so people wanting info on Axl's latest occurrences/releases may just google "GnR/Guns N Roses" where as people wanting info on Slash just google "Slash".2. CD had a huge amount of media attention, everyone who was a rock fan knew that it was going to SOMEDAY be released. It had become legendary but not necessarily for good reasons. The name became infamous. If you ask the general public "What's the name of the most recent Slash album?" They probably wont know. If you ask them "What is the name of the most recent GnR album?" They'll probably know it was Chinese Democracy.That's not to say one album is better than the other, it's just that Chinese Democracy is well known for the drama that occurred over the course of it's 14 years of creation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So if I'm reading those right, CD craps on anything Slash has done?Always with the negative comments about Slash.It's getting a little pathetic.You really want to compare whose career has been more successful in the past 20 years?Lead singers are almost always more popular than guitar players. And Axl was able to use the brand name Guns n Roses - Slash wasn't.Even with those TWO huge advantages, Slash has sold more records than Axl has since he left GnR. And he's released a more successful album than Axl has (with the GnR name to back him).Slash is playing the Super Bowl.........Axl is playing weddings, celebrity birthday parties and Vegas residencies.Your constant Slash bashing is getting a little ridiculous and silly.Just because Axl doesn't like Slash doesn't mean that you have to hate him as well.Time to grow up, bub.

tinyrobot Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure but you being located in Brazil doesn't help much to the search. I guess Google will preferably show results related to where you are located than global search.This search should also be performed from a machine located in Northamerica and Europe.

Wkuk04 is allergic to facts. Despite being proved wrong several times and humiliated, he refuses to accept reality. It's kind of funny.He will probably reply with a dumbass video. Get ready!
