Re: vote for GNR - help them win!!!
If you love Chinese Democracy, please help by voting in the poll over at
www.blistering.com
(the poll is on the bottom right corner of the home page)
We're trying to bury the haters here and need the support of every diehard GN'R fan!
Check out a pretty cool review while you're there!
Re: vote for GNR - help them win!!!
I'm sick of these polls so I won't be voting.

OK, but Blistering is a high profile site, so it will help GN'R to look good in this poll... "Sorry," Slash 
Re: vote for GNR - help them win!!!
But I am starting to get the 'James attitude' about these things. At the end of the day... who's truely biasing the results? The haters? Or the fans?
I knew you'd finally come around.
Yeah that is why I'm so anti poll(and anti radio request). You never get a true gauge on how people think.
Let's use the poll cited in this thread.....
Better than expected
81.9% (484)
It's good, not great
6.94% (41)
A bit underwhelming
4.06% (24)
A total disapointment
7.11% (42)
Do you really think that high of a percentage of the public thinks the album is 'better than expected'? Of course not. Its obvious this poll is making the rounds at the GNR sites and its being tainted a bit. While 'better than expected' would probably win in reality, it wouldn't be a landslide victory.
I went ahead and voted, and apparently only 6.9% of the population agrees with me.

What's a hater anyways?
Someone who won't give the material a fair chance and/or biases their public opinion, because it's not "the old band", or "where's Slash" or "GNR sucks after AFD".
At a time, an opposition to this was needed (the birth of the Axlite?), because the overwhelming majority were not in favor of the new band. This opposition reached it's peak in 2004 when Velvet Revolver were at their peak in popularity & interest.
However in the last couple of years the "Slashite" so to speak, has died out and really no longer exists in the internet community. Yet some diehard Axlites, and Axl himself, continue to think this opposition exists, and must continue to go out of their way unearth positive reviews, and bias polls, and in reality they've become everything they were formed to fight.

Good God! I know that faldor and madagas seem to think I'm a hater. I ain't a slashite for sure. I just refuse to agree with everything Axl says or does same for his lame posses. Is there a term for people who aren't axlites but not slashites or haters either?
