Title: Smoke in the hills Post by: ckgent on January 04, 2006, 04:47:32 AM Looking through last weeks nme magazine, and in the back there is an interview with the singer from a band called Towers of London, anyway its all about his reccomandations on music etc, and there is a bit where he is listing his 10 songs of the moment.
At number 6 Somke in the hills--Guns n roses. He says he was given this at the rainbow bar on sunset, and it is supposed to feature on chinese democracy. Every other song listed is genuine by genuine bands. Anyone heard of this, or seen the mention. Sorry if its dead horse. Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: -Jack- on January 04, 2006, 04:53:10 AM can you scan the mag or something? sounds cool.
somewhat doubt its real though... but ya never know EDIT: watch... this thread is gonna be at least 5 pages long by tomorrow lol Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: MeanBone on January 04, 2006, 04:54:32 AM i heard about them before, they sound a lil 2 much like the sex pistols IMO.
i guess Chi Dem is starting to leak it's way out... Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: ckgent on January 04, 2006, 04:56:15 AM I will see about scanning at work, cant guarentee it tho.
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: SADIS on January 04, 2006, 04:58:55 AM Sounds like a pretty easy and nasty way to get some attention for your band.
Don't believe the hype! Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: shaun on January 04, 2006, 07:00:08 AM Deep Purple have a track called - Smoke on the Water
Lyrics: http://www.lyricsdomain.com/4/deep_purple/smoke_on_the_water.html I agree with the post above ;) Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: Voodoochild on January 04, 2006, 07:03:20 AM What the hell? Smoke on the Water is one of the most recognizable riffs of all time, it's not like someone would say "Smoke In The Hills" by mistake and even saying it's supposed to be on Chinese Democracy! :nervous:
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: Dont Try Me on January 04, 2006, 07:33:41 AM I sended of an email to the band Towers of London to ask about it....
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: MeanBone on January 04, 2006, 07:41:39 AM i don't think they'll write back...
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: Nytunz on January 04, 2006, 08:28:24 AM great! I really like the title! Lets hope its true..
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: BD888 on January 04, 2006, 08:28:56 AM What a load of shit. ?Like some random nobody that noone has ever heard of, gets given this new gnr song at the Rainbow, and no else has even heard of it, that's very unlikely, I mean I doubt the other 10 thousand people who are more likely to have received a new unreleased song by GNR will have been able to keep quiet about it and not have it leaked already. ?This just all sounds like bullshit.

This just all sounds like bullshit. I dunno about a random nobody. That band is somewhat popular. And its glam influenced.. compared to motley crue a couple of times.. so.. who knows. Im sure he has "connections" just.. not sure if he has "connections" to gnr.. Its possible though. Dont write it off. Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: Mutherfunker on January 04, 2006, 08:33:24 AM Deep Purple have a track called - Smoke on the Water Thanks for that.

Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: babydolls on January 04, 2006, 09:03:01 AM i think towers of london most likely said that for attention - they aint that big or that good and i've seen first hand some of their attention seeking antics backstage at this year's Reading festival. Wouldnt give them much "insider" credit personally. They WISH they'd heard a new GnR song! I find it very unlikely.
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: michaelvincent on January 04, 2006, 09:06:18 AM If they are looking for attention then they need some lessons on how to drum up some attention. I can think of a million other ways to get attention that are better than pretending to have an unreleased song from the upcoming GnR album (since, like, no one outside of the hardcore GnR fanbase really gives a crap).
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: 33 on January 04, 2006, 10:21:31 AM Now I am not saying whether this is true or not because I have not seen this edition of NME and I dont know much about this band either. What pisses me off though is that each time we get a rumour or a snippet of news on a thread there are always a few dickheads who say that its a load of of shit or somebody trying to cause trouble: i.e
i think towers of london most likely said that for attention - they aint that big or that good and i've seen first hand some of their attention seeking antics or What a load of shit.?

This just all sounds like bullshit. etc.... etc.... For fucks sake, why do people have to jump on something that may or may not be true and instead just be gobby opinionated fucks about it? Why not just enjoy reading the rumour and be positive about it? You never know it may be fucking true and then you are gonna look like a right dick! Its sounds like you people just wanna moan about things just for moanings sake! If some of these rumours said things like "Guns n Roses are shit and Axl is an Arsehole" then yeh granted have a moan, I certainly would! But when its potentially something positive about our favourite band then, if you ent got nowt good to say then dont say anything at all!! Just my tuppence worth!

If you believe it's an attempt to get publicity, I say it's a pretty piss poor attempt. Most of the mainstream has long forgotten about Chinese Democracy at this point. It makes no sense. I say this rumor has potential if nothing else... if someone scans it and I can see it that is.
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: Nytunz on January 04, 2006, 11:05:26 AM i fret that a new GNR song will leak into the internet soon, if they still keep handing out cd`s with gnr tunes!
No! I do not want any of the new songs to leak!! People! Dont share the new stuff, if its illegal! Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: //JK75 on January 04, 2006, 11:29:23 AM Maybe Axl wrote that song when his house on Malibu was about to burn for the forestal fires... ;D
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: AxlFink on January 04, 2006, 12:10:03 PM just checked on limewire..knew it was a long shot... nothing
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: AxlFink on January 04, 2006, 12:12:42 PM i do think it's great that people think that gnr sang every rose has its thorn(on limewire)
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on January 04, 2006, 12:17:06 PM i do think it's great that people think that gnr sang every rose has its thorn(on limewire) You wouldn't believe how many teenagers who never experienced GNR think that Every Rose is by GNR. Sad indeed. Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on January 04, 2006, 12:36:39 PM just been right through NME.COM and theres no mention of the band or GNR song.as for every rose has its thorn,im glad GNR didnt sing it,it sounds too much like a bonjovi song to me.
Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: C0ma on January 04, 2006, 01:37:51 PM Smoke in the Hills???
remember the way Axl signed that MTv Fax back when Slash left the Band, Live from the Burning Hills........ The singer either stole his made up title from that fax, or it was an actual song written around the time of that fax and maybe references that time of the band (the final split up of the original core) Who knows? Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: babydolls on January 04, 2006, 01:43:13 PM Now I am not saying whether this is true or not because I have not seen this edition of NME and I dont know much about this band either.

Mike And my tuppence worth was relating to towers of london being gobby opinionated fucks (to coin your phrase). maybe i am wrong and it will be proved so - but my opinion was added here just like yours. it's not like you're gonna hear any new gn'r songs sooner than you might have done, just coz some other band supposedly has heard them. ;) Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: BurningHills on January 04, 2006, 01:45:54 PM I just contacted the band through MySpace - if I hear anything, I'll post...

I mean, I am as big of an Axl fan as anyone, but doing things "his way" has resulted in ONE NEW SONG being released in FOURTEEN AND A HALF YEARS. I'm sure you can understand the frustration, since we know Uncle Axl's sitting on some great stuff (even if there was nothing else but finished versions of IRS, Madagascar, CD and The Blues, I would still say that).

Was he just joking around when he said this? Or did he receive a genuine leak of a GN'R song? Any details on how it sounds? The GN'R diehards need any little scrap they can get!

Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: BurningHills on January 06, 2006, 04:44:38 PM I'm sure they were probably kidding. Towers Of London are on a major label in both the UK and US.

Even if they are on a major label, it doesn't mean they are making alot of money. Hell I have a huge music collection (over 1000 cds) , and I've never heard of this band. Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: Jonx on January 06, 2006, 05:29:46 PM Either way if it gets onto Ebay they are going to seriously hurt themselves. They will shorten their lifespan in the music world to a couple of months instead of 1 or 2 years! Axl will get pissed and destroy them!
They are an ok band, i saw them live before i left for California last summer, nothing special though, for some reason the music reminds me of the Sex Pistols (no where near as good so dont get arsey). They look like Guns did back in their "confused period" in 86, wild hair etc! Jonx Title: Re: Smoke in the hills Post by: the dirt on January 06, 2006, 05:34:02 PM http://www.tvtrecords.com/home/
