A SAD DAY FOR SEBASTIAN BACH FANS

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007 at 10:14am by Axl Rosenberg

77422285.jpgWith three guest appearances by the reclusive Axl Rose, multiple appearances on MTV’s Celebrity Craptastic Rapathon and TRL and L.A. Ink, and even advertisting on Broadway-themed websites, the former Skid Row front man’s new album, Angel Down, sold a whopping… 6,400 copies in its first week of release. It barely cracked the Billboard 200 chart, landing at number 190. And while, from a certain light, that’s good news – Bach’s last album, 1999’s Bring ‘Em Bach Alive, has only sold a little more than 19,000 copies in eight years – I gotta imagine that Bach is somewhere crying his eyes out, wondering how it all went wrong and how quickly he can make that Skid Row reunion happen.

Worse still: I imagine that somewhere Axl Rose is taking this as a sign that no one cares about him any more, and will use it as an excuse to further tinker with Chinese Democracy. As though he needed one.

    This can’t be a big surprise to anyone. Just based on his past sales this is on par. Sure, I did expect a few thousand more solely on Axl’s appearance, but both haven’t been growing their fan base. I call what Baz is doing erasing fans.

  2. Tom says:

    How many people who like Guns n Roses actually knew that Axl was going to be on this album? People don’t stand up and take notice about a sebastian bach album

  3. Sammy says:

    Does Bach own a shirt with sleeves?

  4. TedTedPoleyPoley says:

    Sammy, i think his infamous “AIDS Kills…” from the 80’s had sleeves? but i might be wrong :-D

  5. Wayne says:

    What Baz needs is a nice turtleneck.hahahahaaa

    …oh, and an album that doesn’t completely suck.

    Naaaa.. found they had stocking issues (stores not putting them out on the racks and crap like that)… many still have orders from amazon.. (dont’ know if they counted). This album is getting great reviews and people including his fans are very happy (some shocked at such how true to metal/hardrock this album is). It’s all good actually.

    I will be getting the new Sebastian Bach album. I have been to several stores and haven’t seen any yet though. It’s starting to get really f*cking annoying. I blame the stores.

    Yes I knew Axl Rose was on it, but only because I accidentally stumbled upon the news on another website. I don’t think most GNR fans would know about this. This by no means is any telling about how Chinese Democracy will do.

    Us faithful fans know that Axl is a f*cking genius (among other wonderful things;)), and his album will be the sh*t.
