I will buy it.

Well, I'm not the first to say it. This vid was brought up on HTGTH a year ago, and it was eventually decided that it's not a handjob (hahaha...handjob...). If you watch his mouth closely you can see it's not a natural mouth closed look and it doesn't stay the same.

If it's true, the record company must have a pretty optimistic view of the industry. The way I see it, record sales are going to keep falling and falling until these companies are bankrupt. If I were Universal, I'd try to rush this thing out as quickly as I could.

The idea of promoting a record for 7-8 weeks is crazy anyways. It'll leak halfway through that time period, so why not try a creative, fast-paced short term promotion plan?

Although I'm in agreement that the album should be released, we have to remember that addition has worked in the past. They had an album with Finck-Stinson-Huge-Freese-Dizzy and maybe Brian May. It was put off so that new members BH and Brain could be added to it. I don't think anyone would tell you that was the wrong decision.

I think you are more concerned with the subtraction than the addition here. You're afraid that adding Ron and Frank means taking out BH and Brain. That's a fair point, but you should state it in that way, and not just say you're against "addition".
