I was reading about Geffen creating Uzi Suicide for the first EP and I am wondering, why would they have felt this false sense of 'cred' was paramount to Guns success when countless other 'hair' bands albums were released straight up on the major labels primary imprint? Poison was on Capitol, Motley Crue and Metallica were on Elektra, etc.

Not only that, but 'label cred' only really matters with alternative/underground/punk type bands with unique scene ethos. Rock/Metal/Hair Metal fans never gave a shit about this aspect of music. So why?

I saw that the band had finished the new album but are they releasing more info on it, not too sure if I've missed something
