That's a bit harsh. You must have woke up on the wrong side of bed today.

Maybe you should take a nap.

This lack of promotion by Axl and the band isn't that surprising. There isn't even a current lineup able to do promotion. He'd have to hire two new guitarists if he wanted to do anything, or bring back Bucket and hire one. The only surprise is it looks like we wont get a 'tell all' interview from Axl as this album launches, although he might want to wait until the chinese dust settles before doing something of that nature.

One thing troubling for the album and will most definitely affect sales is the fact its not being talked about anywhere but GNR sites. When other huge releases happen(Metallica most recent example), you see discussions about it on just about every type of website. That's just not the case with Chinese Democracy.

This whole thing has a 'forced' vibe to it. Other than Brain and Pitman giving some tidbits of info, everyone is silent with two weeks left.
