Link to full size image (above links are the excel docs)
A few quick questions: Was this a scanned image, scanned in as a jpg. or converted into a jpg., in other words, what is the original source file type?
Secondly, this looks to be a document put together in late 2007, for a 2008 forecast. Any clue when this document was obtained?

I can't imagine why people can't understand how to not look at something if they don't like it.
As I asked before; if and when this person makes another thread like this please just don't bother with it if you're not interested.
I agree. The problem is, some of us know who this is. I just find it amusing, and that is all I will say.

The Imposter--the name says it all. He used to go by Mr. Roboto. Atlanta--LOL!!!

did you quote that from the Velvet Rope.....:peace::butt:
No, but I do know someone who manages a semi-famous alt. band who posts there, as well as an owner of a independent record label who posts there as well. I also read almost verbatim what I posted above, posted there about a month ago (reinforces what I have heard). In that thread, avoiding disclosing who someone maybe or not, I will just say some very famous managers of record labels, and an owner of a very famous record label, in so many words, stated exactly what I posted. Believe it or not, but there are posters there who know wtf is going on--and are well known record industry folks and musicians. Put it this way Courtney Love and Rivers Cuomo post there, and that is just the beginning. I know this, there are some real dip-shit GNR posters there, who prevent any news that those folks know from reaching the public board--and there are many there who are working or have worked on this project (and I am not just talking about an engineers asst. if you know what I mean).
This is simple, and use Hakim's Razor (the simplest answer is almost always the truth). The label is in business to make money. They have made there production money back with GH's, but want to now profit. How will they best profit from this individual product--what scenario gives them the best chance of this project financially succeeding. I say we have a 50% chance of seeing another project surfacing from GNR, before this hits the market. I don't think the label is highly confident of this project financially succeeding the way it stands right now. I think they have given their best offer, and Axl and his "yes-men" seem to be negotiating in vain. How long is Azoff going to stay around is a more realistic question right now, than "when is this" coming out. My bet is soon Azoff is going to say, it's either the housekeeper or me, and we know that the messenger will win that one, as the messages will never make it to Axl. If it does come out, it has to be Nov. 25th, and it will come out of nowhere, and I would bet on the heels of some other news.
BTW, these are my thoughts, and I hope I am 100% wrong.

Metallica and Universal up to their old tricks again:
#227 Re: Guns N' Roses » FBI Arrest of GnR Blogger Backfires » 904 weeks ago
The tech dirt story they link to is chock full of inaccuracies. If I was GNR, I would have discussion immediately with Tech Dirt (linked to in GNR Daily story), for insinuating falsely (McSamesque) that GNR was behind this arrest. They weren't, it was the RIAA who initiated this after Skwerl gave them no chance to ignore it, by publicizing the leaks to benefit his website. There were torrents all over the place prior to the Skwerl arrest story. While there ma have been an increase in torrent sharing, and a significant one, Lefsetz is now trying to do everything possible to hurt GNR. Him and Azoff are at a loggerhead, and Lefsetz is acting like a 5 year old know it all. What's new with this dude--he is smart, but also about as mature as my three month old Bob Cat. On the other hand, GNR is getting some good pub out of this, and would love it if Skwerl (he eventually will) gives up who at Universal leaked this.
