Quote: (Originally Posted by titan9) Only 47K records sold. How can such a brilliant album only sell 47K the first week when a poor album by Kid Rock sells 3 times that? Ridiculous.

Easy: Kid Rock is a douchebag. When it comes to music, the adoring masses purchase music consisting of supreme douchebaggery and idiocy in droves. If Alter Bridge wants to be a real, bonafide metal band, they shouldn't be concerned with going platinum or diamond or whatever. For example, Dream Theater's highest selling album, Images and Words, was released more than 15 years ago and has sold a mere 620,000 copies in the US, and only 2x platinum overall. Metal bands with crossover appeal, such as Metallica, are often accused of selling out of late. I'd rather AB put out solid albums than sell out.
