Axl Wonders What Year It Is

I didn't think Chinese Democracy was bad, but it just hung there. But the album might have sold better had Axl Rose let people know that he was still alive. Rose seemed to think this was 1988 not 2008, and that the brand name of Guns 'N Roses would carry him through. Where were the exclusive interviews or television appearnces? The music public's attention span is shorter now than it was back then due to the Internet. Not promoting his own record killed its chances. You could say that the album tanked because it just sucked, but had Rose let people see him talking about it might have given it a better shelf life.
