CHINESE DEMOCRACY debuts at no. 3 on the billboard chart= EPIC FAIL

go sell that many records then talk man . I think the album is just majestic . so much for being a metal head , cause thats probably all you have up there

I'd be proud if i ever managed to sell 700,000 records. But a band of gnr's caliber, everyone expected them to sell millions of records, since fans worldwide have been anticipating for many years the release of Chinese Democracy. And yr joke where you say my head is full of metal crap, i'm sorry that is the real epic fail.
 
Its a bit of an exaggeration to expect millions of records to be sold.....but well i more less get what you are trying to say.

Its no big deal really.... debuting at no.3 is not too bad considering this is Axl's pet project...and its whole different ballgame from what Slash and co will put together.
 
who gives a crap abt chart position. sound good can already right?

whines and whines and whines abt all this bullshit.

Exactly....Buckethead's solo albums arent even on Billboard...but i still buy them.

I dont think his albums are failures by any means. Even if he had a album hit before, it dosent mean i'll automatically expect him to hit the charts again....and i dont care either...so long as its good i'll buy them!

Buckethead does really kick ass on the new album though....love the electronica influences and insane shredding licks from him on Chinese Democracy.
 
i was expecting something similar or close to appetite for destruction

hey man, i was a gnr fan from the start, however you gotta understand that the only remaining original member is axl, and its definately gona sound diff..personally i feel afd is already worlds aprart from the use your illusion albums...


that asaide, i feel the album aint bad, i approached it without the 'slash' is no longer around mentality and i felt the songs aint bad, altho some parts i feel are overworked, still it aint bad..u can hear some buckethead inspired licks, the solos ain't half bad, very modern rock like, i particularly liked the opening track, shackler's revenge,street of dreams,there was a time, madagacar and sorry.. i feel lyrically, axl did well..

so for those who expect it to be a bluesy rock album it would be disappointing, however you shld expect a new GnR.
 
Yeah, plus this is nothing compare to what the new skid row is doing. That is utterly dissapointing.
 
Ok fine, i guess im contradicting myself cos i listen to a lot of underground stuff. But com on we call expected them to be number 1. When death magnetic reached number 1 on billboard, i thought gnr for sure would get top spot. But they didn't even after all the build up to the album for 14 years or smth, that is why i feel its an epic fail (i know its exaggerated la)

If not making it to the billboard number one is how you judge whether an album is good or an "epic fail"(LOL), den i guess it's rather pathetic that you don't have your own opinions of music and actually need the billboard charts to tell you what's good. IMO, The new album has really good materials.
 
if you like their songs, GO BUY THE ALBUM..
if you don't like their songs, GO HOME AND SLEEP...

it's that easy :)
HAHA!
 
i'm sure if you include the total number of people that have CHINESE DEMOCRACY one way or another (download, purchase, bootleg) it will reach your 700000 mark.

Or maybe it's just the wrong chart to look at, isnt the billboard chart for like mainstream music?

Give it a couple of weeks and once people start realizing this time it's NOT a false info release they will go and buy it? After all the false release thing has happened so many times maybe people assumed he was kidding when AXL said it's really coming out. Initially i thought he was lying, too.
 
So their greater than him just because their touring the world?


He's saying even them merely touring the world is better than anything he's ever done. Go to school.

And unless you can do any better, don't overreact when others state their opinions on the album. We all can have very different taste, so if you don't like them, whatever. It doesn't bother me 'cos I think it's a pretty good album, and I like it. Go listen to your metalcore and whatnot and let's just get on with our lives.
 
I personally found Chinese Democracy quite listenable but as for their dismal sales,one has got to understand the change of listeners back in their time and now,there's bound to have a decrease in listeners and there are some who are adamant that GnR is nothing without the full line-up.
