Are you guys discussing MSL's latest?

the events of the last week have really changed the GNR landscape when it comes to the hoarding of information and material. the more fernando attacked me, the more people i had emailing in to say that they'd received songs from him in the past. the more azoff threatened journalists, the more people i had emailing in with stories their editors were prohibiting them from writing.

i've had to sit on this story a day or two longer than i would have liked as it took quite a bit of time to double source the facts. however, after speaking to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, mistersaintlaurent.com is pleased to report the following:

the current intended release date for CHINESE DEMOCRACY is november 25, 2008. it is azoff's strong preference that the release be done through best buy and not wal-mart. i've been told his reasoning is two-fold. #1, azoff's goal is to be able to create future bidding wars between the two retail giants for his other acts and feels best buy will lose interest in these type of promotions if they always lose out to wal-mart. #2, if he goes with wal-mart, he has to convince axl to swap a couple of tracks from volume 1 with tracks from the other volumes to avoid the dreaded parental advisory warning.

i was also told that the story was leaked by azoff to put pressure on best buy to up their offer and close the deal. it's no coincidence that this story hit right before wal-mart's AC/DC deal was finally publically announced. it is azoff's hope that fear of ending up with egg on their face will force best buy to roll out the red carpet in every imaginable way for chinese democracy.

Well, first off, it's me.

Secondly, it isn't negativity.  It's fact.  Turn on your radio.  Tell me the last time you heard anything like this on it?  Whenever the last White Zombie album came out?  1995ish?  It's not cutting edge - it's a bunch of 90s music thrown into one pot and stirred.  That isn't getting played on the radio anymore.  Hootie and the Blowfish, PJ, Nirvana, and Alanis Morrisette are the 90s bands that gets played on the radio today - not Prodigy, NIN, White Zombie, etc.  I couldn't tell you the last time I heard any of those bands on the radio or TV. 

Why would you expect this to be different?

I agree with some of your points.  It was played on a major station in my area, and most of the feedback was negative, although some people noted--if it wasn't GNR, they would like it.  Which brings up one thing, that the management must deal with--latent Axl-hatred, for really no good reason.  That's a whole different conversation though.  Some others said it had a nice industrial vibe.  Really, like any song, one should listen a few times before writing it off.

But I must say, what you state as fact, is not true.  I mean, what dork-ass Muzak station are you listening to?  I have stations in the metro I live in, where I can hear Alanis Morrisette and Hootie in the Blowfish, right next to A-ha, old Madonna (Celebrate, etc)--in other words it's a soft-rock Muzak station (either a Satellite feed, Clear Channel syndicated, or awful elevator station).   BTW, Zombie has released some great stuff since 1995, and I listen to a few killer alt. rock/modern rock stations that play Zombie, NIN, Prodigy, etc.  So, I am curious, are you living in hole, are your ears clogged with wax, or do you just have selective hearing which you use to make a point?  I have watched your messages, which jump off the page like someone with impotence issues who is angry at the world, for awhile.  If you added some perspective, other than just slamming everything, maybe one could believe your so-called "facts" more easily.  Nonetheless, you have a right to your opinion, albeit it flawed, subjective, and non-factual.

Reading comprehension...look into it.
