Sources at Geffen Records, who put out the new Guns n’ Roses album Chinese Democracy have been slating the bands frontman Axl Rose and blaming him for the disappointing sales of the album, because the singer didn’t promote it properly.
The album, which has been 15 years in the making, missed out on the top spot in the British album chart last weekend, piped at the post by The Killers new album ‘Day & Age’. Chinese Democracy also looks like missing out on the number 1 slot in the US, with over 200,000 fewer sales than Kanye West’s ‘880s & Heartbreak’.
Bosses at Geffen Records are said to be angry about not hitting their targets for the album, blaming Axl Rose for not publicising the LP enough.
Speaking to a British newspaper, a source at Geffen said, “The label is really glad to have him back, but it is frustrating because the album would have had a much better chance of going to number one if he had only been prepared to show his face.”
The source went on to say, “People have been trying to contact him for two months and he’s been completely AWOL.”
“You would have thought after spending 15 years on an album you might do a few weeks promotion.” The source added.
