awesome..

This album is gonna be huge, isn't it?

damnit. i thought it would be HUGE. but after only it's second week on the billboard top 200 album chart..the only chart in the music industry that matters..slash' new debut solo album dropped to #15 this week. it's going on the same backward slide 'chinese democracy' went under. i thought slash album would be different. i thought  could rake in the big bucks. debut #1. and stay there for a few weeks. i really thought slash could do it. now his record is no different than chinese demoracy is damnit

I couldn't have said it better.

It sold lots of records to the cult-like fanbase, and all the trendy posers who only liked him because he was young and new are gone.

People older than 25 (Slash's core audience) don't listen to new music. And people in general aren't paying for music anymore, aside from little kids with lots of disposable income. For Slash to have a strong first week in 2010 is really good. The fact that he did it without pandering to the country audience or the Springsteen-listening Soccer moms is amazing.

well, slash debut album dropped to #33 this week. in its third week. on the only chart that matters in the biz: the billboard top 200 album chart. in its second week, slash debut album was #15. the album itself debut #3 on first week. it's gone from #3 to #15 to #33. going on the same backward slide chinese democracy went on. that's damn sure frustrating. cause slash' debut album is the best rock album since Use Your Illusion 1 and 2     slash rocks     note: guns n roses 'greatest hits' is #163 this week. it's been on the chart for like forever. slash owns
