Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Guys, whats we've been waiting for, has arrived!!!

I have a close friend in CA who works at one of the biggest and best marekting companies in the country. He knows I am a GnR freak and he sent me an email stating that his company is handling a very "special and private" commercial that involves GnR. You will not hear ANY sound...the commercial is (so far) supposed to start in all black. Then, in white, will flash on the screen GUNS and then dissappear. Then, again the same thing for N'. Then the same thing for ROSES.

Then, more blackness on the screen, then the same flash thing , except this time for CHINESE, then DEMOCRACY.

Black Screen.....then again, flashes, this time the May date.

black screen again. then it all comes on together, at the same time to show:

GUNS N' ROSES
CHINESE DEMOCRACY
May ?? 2004

That stays on the screen for like 3 seconds, then the commercial is done!!!!!!!!!! thats it...no sound, no pictures....this is set to air on MTV starting around the end of Feb.

The PROMISED LAND IS NEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the ?? marks are in the date? How funny is that?!  ;Ddon't tell me your friend, could tell you every graphic except that one? Whatever, we'll just have to wait and see

do you like strawberries ?
i like strawberries.

sounds... cool.... almost like i would like an add to be... but no sound?!? it HAS to be sounds! sitting in you living room with lots of sounds from MTV and then 30sec of nothing, thats weird!  :hihi:
ill take that with a grain of saltwater...

IF ITS TRUE, then thats really cool. Its liek 1 of those weird commercials that come up on mtv. I liek that a lot.....

if its not true, which is an extremely high possibility, ill add this to the list of funny ass rumors.

thnaks either way

So whats the "??" for. Your 'friend' knows, and apparently has seen all this but he doesn't know the date?

This all sounds good but, it smells like bullshit.

Hope your not full of shit. But I haven't seen you so, this doesnt phaze me a bit.

At least name the company

i cant remember the right word to classify this.... :confused:

ohh wait i remember it.........BULLSHIT :hihi: :rofl:

The NO SOUND part is part of the coolness of it..i like that...

all commercials are loud n shit.......this is will stand out like no other..and shock the music world! Axl's great idea i bet! They said the commercial is like 15 secs long...its meant to stir the music world, thats why no sound, no nothing. As my friend said, "Do you honestly think Axl doesn't know that the world is waiting?"

my friend couldn't give the dates cuz the GnR camp has yet to fill the company in on what the date will be, but May is the set-in-stone month, according to the people who did the commercial.

How about this "greg." you post the actual email he sent you except you black out the private shit like his name?

And when in February. Surely your 'friend' knows the date and time of its airing.

If you are for real than thank you. If you just get off on printing lies to start some shit than well, maybe you should call your dad and tell him what a great job you did today.

They don't have an office in CA to my knowledge

differentiation!

the lack of sound would be deafening : ok:

Well, what's the company called?

Yikes  :hihi:

I know they're one of the biggest in America, but I didn't realise they were after world domination

I REALLY want to believe this post...but come on man list the Company's name.  Your first reply didn't answer any of our questions, who is the company and how did your friend find out about it.  It sounds really cool, but doesn't Axl want to promote his music and NOT more silence?  Let us know man...sounds like an awesome way to promote Chinese Democracy.

Another thing that doesn't seem to fit. With the short attention spands of the MTV crowd, making a commercial to run in February for a product not coming until May seems a little strange. Would anyone in MTV-land care about something for that long?

Well, what's the company called?

In all fairness you never give up your sources....

**********

So Mysteron, RA..is this BS or NOT?

I have a feeling that Mysteron is looking into this shit right now dude. :yes: : ok:

I have a feeling that Mysteron is looking into this shit right now dude. :yes: : ok:

W 23 Axl is going for broke with this one! Hope it's true!

I do when I can  :hihi:

As for is it BS, well I don't know. The promotional side of gnr is kept top secret. The best I can do is ask MTV, where I do have some good links, but I'd imagine that they will not know anything about this either even if it were true

guys, i am not about to give your my friends name and where he works and his social security number...believe it or not, your choice.

it wouldn't be a one-time ad i don't think, i think its more of a commercial that will run alot, especially leading up to May. My friend told me they tried to get it in for the SUPER BOWL but couldn't, axl was too late with the idea!

OK, how about his ninth grade locker combination then? Shoe size?

Believe it or not..........NOT!!!

I want to believe it dude. I hope it ends up being true. :yes: :yes: :yes:

Dude, post the email, give it over to Jarmo. We dont need the guys name, balck that shit out.

Tell us the company.

If you want some credibility, give us something credible. We are a hardened bunch.

You can be a hero dude but first, give us something substantial to chew on. Rumors come and rumors go and this is no different unless you give us something with some depth to it.

The email with the blackened shit, and the company name. That is all, and you will be a hero of the GNR community.

If not, you are just like everyone else with nothing but a fax for us to wipe our ass on.

We'll know in about 2.5 weeks I guess. :-\

I think it sounds brilliant!

Think of it... what kind of footage could they use? Nothing from the last tour at least and a cartoon would be stupid...

i mean everybody who used to listen to and buy the GN'R stuff don't know shit about what's going on with the band and what has happened..

Sorry bucket and the rest of you I love you, but people would dismiss it as soon as they noticed that the lineup is totally changed. To be honest, it took me a while to get used to the sight of a dude with a KFC bucket on his head.. People can't get familiar with the brilliancy of the new lineup through a commercial anyway...

This will make people curious, and it's mystic as hell imo...

And as far as I know, no one has done this kind of commercials before... Except for when they clipped in super fast pic of products during theater movies...

Anyone agree?

you do have a good point.

also, I don't expect this guy to give up his source if it means jepordizing jepadising risking his links with his friends

just take it as you find it.

if it happens "hell yeah, thanks for sharing what you could". if it doesn't "pfffft" just another little rumour, and i won't be betting my life on it at the moment.

If I see the comercial on t.v then I will belive but not till then. :smoking:

I say it's bullshit.

So your friend works for a company who is handling a top secret commercial for GNR?  

First of all.....I think your friend is a fuckhead for revealing this info.  If it's top secret, he never should have emailed you.

Second, why would you post that shit on here?  If it's top secret....keep it to yourself.

If it's true, then we'd know for ourselves come the end of February or whenever it's supposed to air.

I am so glad you aren't my friend nor do any of you people work for me.  

You'd be fired immediately for breaching confidentiality nor would I trust you as a friend.

My suggestion..........another rumor unless there is a credible source to back this up. : ok:

I think it's a pretty good marketing idea. :yes: : ok:

People will notice it and be sucked in. :nervous:

Kind of reminds me of some of those 'poor, starving in africa children/foster parents' commercials actually.

The ones that if you pay attention to them, make you feel all guilty and shit, because you have so much more than them and yet, still bitch and complain all the time about stupid shit.

That's weird. [headscratch]

Guess we'll see soon enough. :yes:

If this rumour, is at all true. ??? ??? ???

If you have inside info about this, why would you leave it as a "believe it or not", Mr. Ripley? All you had to do is send the company name, e-mail to Jarmo and we'll take his word. If you don't want to do that then there was no point in posting it in the first place. All you've said basicly is "this may or may not be bullshit, you decide". So why do that if you have real information you want to give out? ::)

*Sniff*Sniff*

I don't smell B.S.

I smell...

TEEN SPIRIT!!

(Sorry, had to be done...couldn't resist...we'll now return you to your regularly scheduled rumor debate)

Now they tried to get in for the Super Bowl ?!?!? This is starting to smell more and more like BS.

Also, this is the second time you mentioned these things being Axl's ideas. I doubt all of GNR's marketing is going to be Axl sitting at home wondering how to promote CD. I'm sure he can make a few suggestions and help with it but I'm sure it's not all up to him on how this is done. A good example is the recent statement by Dizzy saying a release date is up to the company, not Axl.

exactamundo. Send the email to Jarmo dude. Its really that simple. I know you are reading this, so chill out, and do the right thing, and send Jarmo the email. Your friend will remain anonymous, and you would have givin a lot of people...a lot of hope. Be a giver man or just come clean and say its bullshit. But now we will remember you. So leave a goodmark. You dig?

I almost believed it until you said they were trying to get it on the Superbowl.

The Superbowl ads were running $2.5-3 million per 30 second spot.

Think common sense- would the record label spend that much for a GNR commercial?  And would they spend that much months before it comes out?

NO!

The record label isn't going to spend so much money on GNR that they could afford to blow $2.5-$3 million on a Superbowl ad and still have plenty of cash to tell the nu-metal crowd why GNR is cool.  I am a Brand Manager who develops marketing plans and purchases media for my Brand on a regular basis- that's a huge media spend- it could be so much better spent in a way that targets the band's audience much better.

Not even Britney's advertising/promotions budget would allow for such a huge spend.

I hope, however, that I am completely wrong and I'll be hearing new stuff in May.

who ARE all these shitspreaders who always wants to keep us in suspense all the time??
I don't believe in any rumors, cos there has been 12,000 since the VMAs and none of them have been true.

I remember a thread where a poster wrote what would be a cool commercial in his opinion, and it was exacly this one, this was several months ago, if not a year.
if it's all true, I bet he/she will be one happy poster! :hihi:

i hope axl reads this and goes "hey, thats a cool idea" and we have that kind of ad :D  :hihi: :peace:

Let me get this straight:

No sound?

How in the name of bad marketing can this be considered anything remotely smart?

If there's no sound, how in the hell is the casual watcher going to get the message of the advertisement?  Doesn't this eliminate at least a good part of the target audience?

For me, if I'm walking to the kitchen and I hear anything remotely GNR, I'm running my ass back in front of the TV to see what the hell is going on.  

I'm not saying there won't be a commercial in Feb. on MTV, time will tell on that issue.  That said, I can virtually guarrantee there will be no commercial in Feb. on MTV with this alleged premise.

There's a reason no large marketing blitz has ever gone this direction kids...

It's goofy.

On a skewed note, doesn't this also elminate the blind and illiterate market?  I digress...

 :rofl: :rofl: Jules Winfield! Yeah, And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

 You better watch your ass W 23 AXL  :hihi:

has any harm happened yet? rather more activity this has been arised..if this thing gets revealed how is it going to harm GNR name and promotion. I mean this little piece of info?? I think you are having a little over reaction trip here..  

but still I personally don't believe this until a good evidence has been stated!

No sound? What about the blind GNR fans? :P

do they have tv's?

to reply to what Falcon posted.
I agree 100% with what you said, IF it's the only commercial before the album, it will be a terrible idea!
but to me it sounds more like a "pre-commercial" before a real commercial.
well, as fun as this is to discuss, Im quite certain that it's not true, and even if it is, it will still never happen.

A little over reaction trip?

No...just sick of the bs rumors people spread on here.

It's as simple as this......if it is true......reveal the credible source when posting something...........or better yet......send it to Jarmo.

rather that, but if it says the date of the album and shit..
it would be a cool thing if it asted for 4/5sec and just flashed Guns N Roses acouple of time's... or maybe Chinese Democracy.. then weeks later on the real ad is starting...  : ok:

As far as using this concept, I think the best way to do it would be to have the flashing screen with only the word "Guns". Then, a week or two later, add  "N". A few weeks later add "Roses" and so on until you complete the whole message. This would create a massive buzz. I've seen this kind of thing back when I used to watch wrestling. They would briefly flash a sign or name, adding more to it as time went on. I think they did it when Chirs Jericho (sp?) came to WWF from WCW.

Sounds like another bullshit rumor to me. That would be a terrible way to promote the album. The only people who would care to see such a commercial is us diehards. Something like that wouldn't do anything to catch the eye of the average MTV viewer.

Hey guys,
I work in the ad biz and have to say that's a CHEAP way to advertise such a big thing.

But I'd guess Axl has a ton of influence on any campaign. No ad agency would produce something like this unless forced by the client by money restraints, or it's the client's idea.

From what's described, someone's little brother could make this ad on his laptop for free.

But if made right, I could see this working to stir some talk, and it won't cost the record company or GnR much in the way of advertising production.

I think a "teaser" campaign wouldn't work, because people are sick of waiting for GnR to get their act together. Literally.

That commercial sounds like the fevered imagination of a fan.

I love this idea.

awesome

cheap - different - great buzz -


people will take notice of this.


I keep saying the end of Feb. / 04

If this is the way it is going to start then I LIKE IT.

I look for www.gnronline.com to be updated beforethis though....so look for the fans to find out first.

Tour details ,  and possible soundtrack info.........which I have been watching this VAN HELSING movie for sometime.

I guess we will have to wait and see.

 :hihi:

-5th

i say don't believe anything unless it's official.

Weird. I heard Axl was going to be personally driving in a truck with the neon Pegasus promoting the album. My friend said Buckethead would be in the back handing out toys while Robin took pictures and Fortus played some N*SYNC riffs.  :hihi:

Wow.....

Another baseless rumour :crying:

Oh man i so want this to be true, how dare u play tricks on us all....when i find where u r..... :rant: :rant: :rant:

if this is true: it would be the coolest commercial ever!!! but i guess it's just bullshit...

Didn't Nine Inch Nails do something similar in 1998 during the VMAs?

Edit:

Nine Inch Nails Teaser, aired during MTV's 15th Annual VMAs on September 10th, 1998


Back in October 1998, there were ads saying:
ninetynine
nothing

in magazines. See example here (http://www.nineinchnails.net/news/specials/nin_large_5.jpg)

Then in December they sent out postcards (http://www.nineinchnails.net/news/specials/ninteynine_pc_large.jpg) to radiostations.



/jarmo

If its true, and we all really have no idea, but if it is...the whole no sound thing wouldnt be such a bad idea.  If you think about your everday comercial there is always some sorta sound going on, having an ad without any sounds would likely draw the viewer in because it is so different.  The idea is in now way original other ads have used the same concept, because the ad is so out of the ordinary it becomes memorable. Well thats at least what i picked up from my couple of semesters of advertising and marketing at college.  

y'all some cynical motherfuckers in here.

For the sake of the sanity of the people in here

GIVE US THE E-MAIL OR THE NAME OF THE COMPANY  :rant:

This is turning into a slow torture. We can all feel there might be something about to happen but we're just expecting everything to fall apart to nothing as usual.

Somebody help us  :crying:

I think that this would be a great starting advert, and would definately draw attention. Just someone give us some concrete info. for fucks sake.

@#$%Muther

i still think its BS

does it need to be spelled out?????


I  c-a-n N-O-T  g-i-v-e   o-u-t  t-h-e  n-a-m-e


now i'm sorry i ever posted on here cuz you're all fucking crazy. why would i post this if its not going to happen.


(by the way...me, myself...i like that poster's idea of just having GUNS, then a week later N' and so on and so on....cool idea)


and the no sound, to me, is genuis. there are no rules, you guys gotta go out of the pentanonic box of life. no limits, no rules. i believe my friend when he said "Do you honestly believe Axl doesn't know the world is waiting for him". We ALL KNOW gn'r will be very big when axl releases this and tours. axl is the only true rock frontman left on the planet

i think the visual concept is kinda cool, but not as the whole ad campaign. The day they announce the release date i'd have this deal running, and only for that day, then have some sort of different commercial to follow up. As for the no sound.....how's this.........have the Guns come up, then the N' then the Roses, but instead of no sound have like a crowd yelling Guns..........N'.............Roses like they do for encores.....have the Guns N Roses thing flash like 5 times or something in unsion with the crowd yelling, then just show white on black Guns N Roses, Chinese Democracy, May XX, 2004, or whatever the date is, with the crowd noise still going on, cut commercial.

Axl said in 99 that the album was 99% finished... so yeah, I think you?re friend is telling the truth  :P

Seems like I'm going to be the first person to reply to your new post. Ok here it goes

Are you a fucking idiot or u just cant read??!?!

We asked you many times to post the email without posting the name or email address so nobody will bother ur friends. Why is that so hard to understand? Nobody is asking for a name buddy. We just need some proof.

On that note, why havent the Mod's closed this topic and banned this person yet?!? Obviously this is fake BS

Lies.  All lies.  No way this thing gets started in February.  Next time make up a more believable lie like February 2005.

/Tulip

Nah...i dont know about this..i dont think this commercial thread is real..but i have a feeling.

Weird.

IF it's true, I think it's a brilliant idea, but only as a teaser. Having no sound at all is so out of the ordinary, you just CANNOT not notice it.

Ty you are abit too negative 90% of the time..Agree this thread is extremely fake, but hey, I'm pretty sure that CD will be out soon. 2005? No if it doesnt come out by the end of summer, I dont think it ever will

Perhaps your buddy got confused and was actually thinking about a VR commercial? ::)
Joe

Oh no!! Johan is multiplying!!!  :nervous:


Slipdisc best quote ever:
"Nostramamus sucks! He was the Johan of the middle-ages!"

I guess you wouldn't want to give out the name so your friend doesn't get in touble.... But its not unrealistic that someone in the GNR camp does read this board from time to time, so the fact that you gave out a concept of a "top secret" promotion plan will probably let someone in the GNR camp know that your friends company can't be trusted.

Also we never asked for a name, we asked that you give a copy of the e-mail and the name of the company to Jarmo, which you haven't for some strange reason, even though you have given out the concept for the promo.

So your secrecy and the reasoning for posting something you don't want to back up, or even posting it at all, doesn't make a damn bit of sense.

But its okay, I think your full of shit anyway : ok:

Well, I don't know if this guy tells the truth but I'm pretty sure that something will happen very soon...

LOL Well say misterID  

On top of that, I was wondering, why do people keep bringing up MTV? Most of the people in Europe and Canada dont either dont get MTV at all or dont bother with it...and for people US, I though VH1 was a more popular choice anyways?!? I might be wrong about this

You are

the incredible thing is not another rumor like this  but the replys this things get , that why they keep posting "rumors", just ignore this things , if the first topic about a new inside info does not have a credible source ( i dont mean something official )   its 99% possible that its bullshit like the other 1000 rumors that have been posted in this forum .

if no one answer this kind of topics they will desapear very soon.

Would you please explain why Booker?

MTV is bigger than VH1, but they're both pretty big in the ratings. I don't know too many people who watch it, and its not a real rock oriented station anymore.

I still think GNR should stick to Fuse and not even bother with MTV. Fuck MTV.

I know people here have been assfucked over and over again by stupid fucking rumors that never come true, there has been faxes and god knows what there hasn't been... also AXL has said allot of shit that has never happened, there has even been OFFICIAL announcements several times that this baby is on its way...

Why call W 23 Axl a liar, either prove him wrong or discuss the possibility and the rumor...

Fuck, what will you say if this thing turns out to be true? Ever thought of that??

I know I have believed in allot of rumors, manly because I?m so excited about this Chinese Democracy album that I want it to happen so bad, some rumors are better than others, this is a good one IMO..

If it's a "fake" rumor and you don't believe it, why the fuck post? That?s what a fake rumourist wants, he wants to make a huge fucking thread so why feed his urge and laugh about it? if you don't believe in it cool, but you shouldn?t step down on this dude...???

BTW, we all know Axl is a huge fan of NIN which leads me to believe this even more.

If this turns out to be a false rumor, THEN you can bash this guy, until then... huh well.. :no:

 :peace: -erose the pasifist  ;)

It doesn't go this way exactly...

MTV gave GN'R all the time they wanted @ the VMA's... Not that they didn't deserve it. But MTV did it for them at a time when everybody else was dissing Axl. Then Kurt called it "amazing" or something like that, when we all knew that this wasn't Axl's best performance.

So, GN'R owe something to MTV.

only a diehard Axl Rose fan, a typically delusional, sorry assed, rationalizing, excuse Axl no-matter-whatter, loser, idiot, dumbass, dope, lackey moron could possibly think that this false sorry excuse for an ad campaign, which is total bullshit, totally bogus, totally assinine, totally false for a million reasons, common sense being the first one, would call it a genius move. Only an Axl fan and only in AXL-LAND!

Why?

who are you?  :hihi:

Instead of the flashing of the band name have the add be static and noisey with snippets of a song  (1st single)from the album playing along with a voice you can't make out, while you can barely see snippets of vid clips and a digital clock running backwards.  (Obviously real GNR fans would recoginize it's GNR in the first add) As the adds get closer to release day the images and audio get clearer to finally reveal the song, a voice saying the release date and clips of the first vid.  Also as the adds go you can see the digital clock running backwards so we can try and figure out what the date will be, this would be for the Die hards.

just an idea.  I am not saying I think this rumor is true, I just got an idea thats all

Whats there to explain?  MTV is the biggest music channel and are a huge factor in music marketing.  End of story.

When people start believing all these rumors and they don't happen people start posting countless threads at why thy're pissed off this rumor didn't happend, they're fed up with waiting... It's better to cut it off at the start.

Yeah, but MTV used them as the big surprise act before the show to get people to tune in. Woodstock and Ozzfest also wanted GNR to play at those shows, so they were being saught after, its not like MTV used them when no one else would. I don't think they owe them anything anymore. It's not the same MTV it was when GNR was big.

Not sure what to think about this one. There have been so many friggin' bul shit rumors all over. But hey, you never know... There is always a little hope in every rumor.

If it is not true then well.. We all go back to what we were doing before... Waiting.

Exactly, would there be a better place to advertice a HUGE musoc comeback?

I think mtv suck ass, but if they started to play gn'r i'd sure get back to them... and so would allot of others i believe... plus all the fuckers who are already watching the shit they air finally have a chance to have their eyes opened.

Rock acts don't become as big today as they used to, why? The music industry is filled with SHIT. If a rock band would get serious air time on mtv, they could save allot of people... there are many fragile minds watching that channel right now.

hey look at The Darkness, don't tell me that that wasn't a breath of fresh air into mtv. they did it, whao was the last rock band to get aired like them?

plus, aren't there supposed to be a few POP songs on CD  :hihi:

wow, another rumor with no source or traceable origin written by someone with 20 or less posts.

seems like another winner to me  ::)

Why what?

I could give you a sensible, rational explanation as to why I think only an Axl fan would think this is somehow a genius move, I could give you a sensible rational explanation of why I think this rumor is bullshit, and even if it wasn't bullshit(which it obviously is), it would be an idiotic way of promoting CD.

Unfortunately sensible & rational don't go over too well on this board, save a few posters, so I won't bother, I'll just point out stupidity whenever I see it(which, unfortunately, is EVERY time I check out this board).

Your Pal,
Providman  8)

I don't think right now is a good time to jump the gun either way. The next few months could be very exciting, but the key word there is could. So I am going to try and not give this rumor much thought.

so c'mon then, what you just posted is what i call a meaningless post, i would like to know why i'm stupid for believing in this...

and that Axl fanatic up his ass stuff is totaly rediculous, if you wonder i't Guns N' Roses i love, meaning the whole package and sure Axl is a part of that, but far from the only thing.. he is one of many lovable factors which makes Guns N' Roses Guns N' Roses.. why do you even post here and why do you check the board if it's all bs anyway..???

if you were who you say you are, you wouldn't have gone further that the news section..

peace

Another bullshit rumor. ::)

Delete the names and email addresses.. delete the company name and post the rest of it.. simple!

Better still.. send the email to Jarmo who can be trusted to confirm that its legit and delete all the personal info for you.

Its that simple! U decided not to keep it top secret.. we dont expect names.. we dont want ure mate to lose his job.. we just want some evidence.. some!

DONT GET ON THE HORSE UNLESS YOU INTEND TO RIDE IT!!!

Maybe he thought it was a chair...

True or not, I thank ya for posting it.
I know it's tough to post things like that, knowing you'll be disected, etc...

Is it true? We find out soon!
And rumors like this keep us awake during the lull of 2003-2004.

Speaking of which... I had the buddie who had met Axl over the summer... he asked me the other day why the album wasn't out yet. That Axl told him Nov/Dec. He's still stickin' to his story. So I still believe him, too.

Hope everyone who doubts this rumor gets eaten by the wolf at the end of the month  :peace:

Just like everyone else who has doubted rumors in the last year has been eaten by the wolf proven right ...

Seriously, if this guy is telling the truth he would send this e-mail to Jarmo, who has been proven trustworthy over years and years.  He could request that Jarmo not repost anything, and just verify that such an e-mail exists and he has seen it.  We would then be less inclined to question the authenticity of this rumor.

Check out the UYI 1 tape (I don't own the dvd but I guess it's the same) ...
That's how that concert starts... only the words are in red.

I gotta admit, its been so long since any real news that even rumors are staring to psyche me up.  Man does that suck.   :nervous:

The funny thing is that there was a commercial with no sound during the superbowl.  Non GNR related but still maybe either this is where the idea for this commercial comes from or maybe it is how this guy made up this story.

I think I missed that one!LOL! :hihi:

well im kinda skeptical bout rumours now...but this one does kinda tie with what rao said...he said that the whole albums in black n whit...if hes tellin the truth then its a definate possibility
anyways its sounds cool...one of the longest waiting music albums whose commercial has no sound..its fuckin cool

More rumours will come as the release announcement is getting closer and closer.  

Fact is, if the album is set up to be out in May, sure there is a marketing strategy to launch this as we speak. I'm not too crazy about the mute promo shit. GNR has been out of this planet for the past 10 years, thus if GNR's markting campaign relies on a mute promo, God save GNR

Damn I would love to be involved in something like this. So many things could be done...

I think that it sounds good and can only hope that it is true.  

Although I can see silence for 15 seconds and then you hear the band jamming and axle screaming or doing a crazy howle in the back ground

Yes..where did Johan go? :hihi:

This thread is yet another person having a good laugh at the rest of us

ya this guy is gonnna need his mommy after i get a hold of him this guy errrrrrrrrrr man whatever im getting sick and tired of rumors this guy is not coming back!!
it was all a rumor now we can all go to the ( i think CD will come out..in 2005

Can Raoxsle or Mysteron lend any merit to this project?

Probably. Starting to look like that isn't it? :nervous: :confused:


I guess if that's the case, then some people are real assholes. :yes: :rant:


Seems like they all gravitate to this site to bother us GNR fans doesn't it???


Kind of makes me wanna [puke].

I do not keep coming back CUZ I HAVE A LIFE....



my final words on the deal: If it doesn't happen, i'll be just as disappointed as you all. Who knows, axl could always back out of it, like he's done with soooooo many things. I'm telling you what I was told, from a 100% reliable source. believe it or not, i could seriously give a flying fuck less. You're all so tough behind your computers, come to NY and say some shit

by the way, for HUGE stars, sometimes less is MUCH BETTER then more......remember when Jordan came back for the first time in 1995. All he issued was a press release saying, "I'm Back!"

If Axl does follow through with this commercial, with no sound, just flashing words, it will be HUGE and DEAFENING......it will speak much more to the world then a loud, music filled commercial. Axl wants to build the suspense as long as he can.

However, if this commercial doesn't happen, and there is no CD before or right after VR, then I'm done with Axl. Then, I'll finally realize he is a recluse and fucked up internally. He knows what he's capable of, but spent the past 9 yrs watching Laker games. Too fuckin bad. Its looking more n more like Axl needs Izzy much more then Izzy ever needed Axl.

Im coming

Go for it Keidis!!! : ok: :beer: :smoking:

Wow Kiedis  :o  this board does turn you on uh?? ;)

I'm in 2 minds

One part says click 'report to moderator'

The other part says 'Don't worry..he'll be gone soon..to the place Johan and Danny and all the others went'

I really think we gotta have a clamp down on this, these daft rumours are coming faster than ever, can't we have a system whereby no source = thread locked?

1) Dont comment about things you 'supposedly' dislike
2) Stop bitching about Axl and his fans, it wont make things easier for you and it definately wont get Slash back in GnR
3) Dont insult people by generalising it makes you look ignorant and foolish
4) Dont contradict yourself from one word to the next
5) If you dont have anything worthwhile to say keep quiet, you'd be doing yourself a huge favour
6) Get a Life

In a way i feel sorry for you

Actually guys, im pretty sure this guy is telling the truth at least somewhat. I personally know a guy at Geffen named Jay. Hes been giving me news for sometime since i work for smnnews.com which is a Heavy Metal/Rock News Site. Last night i asked him if there was any update with the band. He just said expect an announcement shortly.

I did email him back seeing if hell give me more info.

cool
post the email here then and we?ll be glad!  : ok:

umm, one little off topic question..what about those Dizzy questions you promised to ask, do you got them already or what? or have I missed something.

(http://www.smnnews.com/nate/email2.JPG)

I had never mentioned anything bout Dizzy.

You probably shouldn't put the email address on here

What is Jay's surname?

Wow, someone posted their source... I'm confused, though... Someone else is offered a spot in...

GNR?

No that other thing isnt GNR related. Its bout another band he knows i like thats why he said it. Sorry for the confusion.

Thank you, sir.

Personally, I'll be buying my copy of the new album at the show in Huntsville - only $2.99!

sorry GnrAxl4life..............I messed up you with Axlrosefan4life.

this thread is 7 pages i aint reading thru 7 pages if there is a link or someshit someone pm it to me, how come this bullshit gets 7 pages? holy shit we love to argue on this board!

yea i know it's crazy so lets just get along like the song 7pages is 2 much

IF this is true I'll be celebrating :beer: :smoking: but until I see anything i aint believing shit, no offense to anybody but this is GNR and there are so many fuckin rumors around the band.  But I hope so bad this is true, I really do.

yet another rumor  ???  sounds cool though if its true.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE make a RECAP of what?s going on in GnR and the rumor-mill right now?

Is there a NEW guitarist in GnR?
 

Someone, enlighten me!

Nothing has changed in the world of GNR

Just ignore this rumour like all the others.......

Almost sounds like someone at MTV is saying this to get us watching that crappy station again.  ::)

I have a friend that has a friend that has a source he can?t reveal who is, but it?s 100%reliable, and he told me that Danny, Johan and W 23 Axl are getting together as a band and their debut album title will be "GNR Lies". :rofl:

So.

I cleared up the whole thing stating the guitarist thing was bout a different band, and it was bout Cold.

If I ever want to start a thread that gets over 7,000 views, making up the millionth rumor is a great way to start.

ooh yeah, you have no idea! :hihi:

Well...here we are...it's February 29th...anyone seen the above aired yet?

Didn't think so  :no:

Too bad. Would've been fun if it were true.

no, no, it could be true still. He said around the end of February.

My God It's Coming Soon, I Can Feel It  ;)

@#$%Muther

man !!
i think i saw it !!!!
i was flipping through the channels and then it was the end of something , you know, and

i heard " ...... OSES !! "

man i think, it was it !!!!

"...OSES" ??

"woo, woo, back it up, back it up "- G. Costanza

" back it up, back it up ? what was that ? "
 ;D

LOL

feb 29... and again - it's just another rumor! why many or you are so stupid... U believe all these rumors.....there have been hundreds of them.... and every time - it's bullshit!

Yea, way to go.... ::)

in the end another bullshit rumor, oh well whats new this is gnr :smoking:

I wasn't going to post on here,but since I had nothing better to do I thought I would say something,but what's the point?

I guess we the Guns N' Roses fans are easy targets for the people who like to spread lies.I hope CD comes out soon,we don't need lies we need facts. :smoking:

This must be the video  : ok:

Holy Shit!  : ok:

@#$%Muther

Ummm.....that was very cool.
unfortunately I have to be a skeptic and say this could be fake...not you being fake but maybe this is. where did you stumble onto this?

I think that is an awesome advertisement! very cool!

Ummm, I think mutherfunker, or someone just threw that together to amuse everyone.
 ;D  
I was amused.
Wished it were true, but I'm still amused.

Our favorite poster of all time, W 23 Axl, who started this thread, posted a follow-up which was moved to Dead Horse.

Thread: NEWS: No commercial, basically nothing...DONE  (Read 482 times) "The MTV commercial has been either cancelled or never was going to happen anyway. At the time I posted, it was supposed to happen, now...nothing."

So are you gonna believe him the 1st time, or the 2nd time, or none at all?

Good one !
I don't think they would keep it perfectly quiet, though. I think there would at least be some statics, or maybe some breathing, and some deflagration at the end, you know, Axl screaming and all...

Dude, that commercial rocks! But I doubt the ads will be silent. It's creative, but something tells me they'll be shouting the release date from the roof-tips  :hihi:

I think it's shit,it's not funny :no:

W 23 Axl may be a shyster, god knows we've had plenty around here and it's nothing new. But there is that small chance that either someone else gave him some bad info, or the story was true at one time, but then it changed. Because sometimes the misinformation is several layers deep and the people who bring it here think they have real news.

Maybe,but he should have had proof,that's why he was bashed,that's the way it goes around here. :peace:

He's the one that decided to make a spectacle out of himself with just the title alone.

That is so true : ok:

maybe the commericial was so quiet, we didn't hear it.

but this W 23 Axl guy was banned ?!
couse after what he told, I never saw he posting anymore...  :-X

about this comercial, did you make it  Mutherfunker  !?!
where did you find this?

IF they do something like this, they?ll have to just use 10 seconds to the whole comercial, including the FRONT of the CD in the end...

Dude, dont do that!  You made me laugh so hard I spilled my Coke all over my keyboard!!   :rofl: :rant:

Johnnyblood has a good point.  I'm starting to wonder if that Aura/Darth Bowie "creature" was given a little bit of truth stuck in between 10 layers of bad info.  You're right about all of this being "layers deep".

It's just something I threw together.

I was gonna put some cool sound to it, but I wanted to see what W 23 Axl's version looked like.

@#$%Muther

just ban all these rumor tellers  :rant:
