Man, since when did we have our posts interrupted at the Army with commercials?

It's hardly the band's best work, it's just all the singles. "Dancing In The Street" is no highlight. And having "Can't Stop Lovin' You" on there was quite nauesating, even a fan of a lot of the Sam stuff, I can't stand that sap. Shit and "Not Enough" too! Ugh.

Gene Simmons...the paragon of truth and honesty...

Which interview with Al? You mentioned reading an interview with Al that gave you a glimmer of hope.

His interview with WKLS here in Atlanta. Many took it the wrong way and went out of their way to paint it as "that cu*t Alexis is at it again" but they are wrong... The jocks went out of their way to attempt to get Al to slam Dave, and you know what, he FLATLY refused.

Sam was no where to be seen or heard on the interview, either. Alex when pressed about Dave, was very respectful and spoke in tones of "this tour we are doing right now is with Sam, that is the show we are playing here tonight"...

It was just a very different mood coming off the guy from that seen before, where he would jump on any chance to knock Dave. I found the references to "right now" in reference to Sam, especially his spoken inflection very telling.

Time will tell, I suppose.

That's very interesting, hmm?

Maybe when Al and Sam are together it's something to keep interest afloat...???

I could be totally off base, but I don't look at that as a bad sign, but of course all things are open to interpretation...

RH, I agree but I still think it would be very embarrassing to try again with Dave now. It just looks utterly pathetic. Time to just call it a day.

John Lennon said it the best......

I'm doing this because there are still a significant number of morons (hagar fans) that do not understand how album certification works. So for all of you idiots who think WCTBLove "rocks" here goes----BOBWorlds is a double disc set. That means when the RIAA does audits on it they count each "package" or "unit" as 2 COPIES SOLD since it's a double disc set. Vhagar get credit for 837,098 sold because it's a DOUBLE DISC SET. THE ACTUAL SALES ARE 418,549, MEANING 418,549 PEOPLE ACTUALLY BOUGHT IT. Same thing with the Rolling Stones new set 40 licks, it's certified for 4 million but the ACTUAL SALES are only 2.3 million. Since it's also a double disc set they get credit for TWICE the amount. This is the way the RIAA has done it for years. GO TO THEIR WEBSITE WWW.RIAA.COM---IT'S ALL THERE YOU IDIOTS. METAL-SLUDGE.COM has all of these numbers up for ALL TO SEE. BOBWorlds has only been purchased by 418,549 PEOPLE. END OF STORY.

Good post.... can't argue with FACT!!!

5 stars from me...

*NO*

Umm YES. The BOBW package costs nearly
twice as much as a single CD, so in essence yes they did pay for the album twice. And THAT is the reason why the RIAA counts sales as 2 for every one sold.

And the reason it is certified platinum is not by how many have sold to customers, but how many have shipped/sold to stores, which is well over 500,000.

Tongue,

Please stop yourself...

Well over 500k? WTF...

I just checked Soundscan about 10 seconds ago and came out with:

418,561 Total To Date
17,349 3 weeks ago
9,951 2 weeks ago
7,871 1 week ago
6,820 This week

If I were Al I'd be speaking very kindly of my meal ticket as well.

If you ask me, they have been planning this since July. As some of my friends have reported (and it recieved coverage via Ed's drinking adventures on Newbury St.) VH and Dave were in VERY close proximity during the 4th festivities. VH was basing operations out of the 4 Seasons in Boston on the East Coast leg of the tour, flying to their gigs out of Boston. Dave was there for the week for the July 4th gig. They must have seen the crowd reaction and compared it to how bad their current "project" was doing. Al I'm sure also looked at his monthly alimony bill and said "Hey maybe we oughta give him a call". I'm sure they crossed paths in Boston, as Dave also went silent on the bashing. Sammy still has his band on retainer. Add it up, it's coming...

Waking up to this can't be good for the ego, at least not the sisters:
