Here Today... Gone To Hell!

from MYgnrforum

106.5 KWHL in Anchorage says they have an official CD of the IRS single, which they will play today or tomorrow. The DJ said that they "could play it today, but maybe tomorrow. Hell, you've waited 10 years, you can wait another day". They announced that they have a GnR single, and I called the station (907-349-9691) and asked for the title of the single and they said it was IRS. The website of the station is www.kwhl.com. I've already Emailed the DJ with the following Email, so please don't bomb the station with requests or questions. Also, the message says I don't know that it's IRS, I sent it before I got impatient and called.


Hey, you mentioned that you have a new GnR single? is this one of the leaks or was this straight from GnR?s management? I ask because 1. Lots of stations have gotten cease and desist orders for playing the leaks and 2. Three or four of the leaks are pretty high quality. Also, is the title ok to tell me? If it is IRS, Better, There Was a Time, or Catcher in the Rye, those are all songs where demos have been leaked in moderate to high quality. (Hope it?s Better, that?s by far the best tune of the four.)

errrmm.. really??

EDIT: unconfirmed...

Anchorage!? what the fuck? :hihi:  Dude, do you live there, if you do make sure and keep an ear out and keep us posted.

"HOLY FUCK!!!!

I just got off the phone with the DJ. I asked if the IRS that they have is a studio version or a leak....and the guy said he got it "straight from the record label"!!!!! Exact words! Call the number eschman provided and hear it for yourself! UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!"
------
sounds good :)

I think they just have the demo. I dont think IRS would be the first single. I  think it would be a song we have not heard yet.

hey cool shit man. if he realy does have a real single that would be the best news ive heard in well since i was born. singles come out just before the album sometimes. to promot it. could we be just weeks away from CD and not even know it yet.

the dj says its straight from the record label.? :peace: or so they say  :hihi:

well im guessing this is a newer better IRS.

Why IRS a single though? It's good but not nearly as good as the other songs.

He's full of shit.

maybe he's just playing. would anyone mind calling them and checking?

post from "masterrose"

"I JUst call and they say they got the real single I.R.S from the label company
? ?finally after 13 years"

can someone else call?

Someone not from Mygnr preferably.   :hihi:

I could see the record company doing this. Hell IRS has been at #49 on the Radio and Records active rock chart for 2 weeks now and this is only a demo. Why not give the rock stations a final studio mix of IRS to play instead of a lower quality leak. #1 its already being played on stations, #2 now every rock station can give it a play and not be afraid of management.

Yeah man, I highly doubt IRS is the first single. Anchorage...Alaska?

Let us call our local stations and ask if they have the single!  : ok:

 Tap the Brakes!!!  Why the Hell would the Frozen Tundra get a brand new Gun's single before any other big market radio station?

If you are calling dont ask if they have it, ask how is it and  how its different from the demo

 I HIGHLY doubt that a station up in the artic is going to debut the NEW gnr single....

I bet the US goverment is using IRS as a way to remind all of us US citizens that it is tax time and dont forget to pay the IRS. Maybe Alaskians are bad about paying there taxes??

I can hear the dj now "everyone crank it up and melt your igloo its a new one from Guns N Roses, IRS ps dont forget to pay your taxes"

eschman started this topic at mygnrforum, and he's been a member there since 02'. He's not lying. So either the Alaskans are high, or they truly have the first single from CD.

right- it's already charted, so why not make it the single? it's enough of a rocker/simliar to other guns stuff that its been well recieved-even if we dont think it's the best, if its getting airplay, it seems like a smart move.

Maybe the band are doing what a lot of bands do and release different singles for the US. and UK etc. I mean I can't see most of the world connecting with this song. lol

Most times the first single off the album is one of the? best, Merk said that IRS is not even one of the 10 best on the album. IRS is a  good song but its not better than citr, twat or better.

maybe..but perhaps they had another single in mind and the charting of the demo pushed them to this first- i'm going to call Lazer 99.3 out in Springfield, MA and ask them if theyve gotten anything, they were playing the demo last month.

call WAAF or WBCN

OK.....you guys gonna make me call Alaska or what?

 :hihi:

wtf you waiting for? stop posting and start dialing ;)

Most times the first single off the album is one of the  best, Merk said that IRS is not even one of the 10 best on the album. IRS is a  good song but its not better than citr, twat or better.

i disagree.  a lot of times the first single off an album is not the best song.  you could be mine wasn't even a top ten song from illusions.  i think IRS is a great choice, a rocker, great chorus.  better is great also but i really think it is a little too "out there" to be a first single.

probably will get on it tommorrow : ok:

Hell,I love IRS I think it is the best one (of the leaked demo's)they played

Gimmie the number right now and I'll end this once and for all.

106.5 KWHL in Anchorage says they have an official CD of the IRS single, which they will play today or tomorrow. The DJ said that they "could play it today, but maybe tomorrow.

(907-349-9691)

I dont care WHICH song gets on... i just one rockin the airwaves so that EVERYONE can jam to the new GNR... trust me its soooo versatile and different that people are going to like it... bye bye emo rock.. Axl Rose is back....

I still call bullshit

I know I might sound like an old fart,but what the hell is emo rock?

I just talked to the guy.

He said he is going to play it in two minutes!!!

He said it is an official release and it is a CD.

Me too. I think the only leaked 'demo' that sounds close to being completed.

I choose Option 3 - Alaskan DJ is a liar

As far as i know Alaska is closest U.S. state to China - just a thougt!?

Record it!

I can't find a link to listen live.

The guy was calm and collected and I talked to him for about a half a minute.

If he is a liar, he is a good one.

ohh fuck  ;D

ask the guy for the mp3

Are you serious? You heard him say that? I thought this was just more mygnr bullshit.

He told me on the phone just a minute ago that he had it, it was official and he was playing. It should be playing.

I have no reason to lie.

Edit: call yourselves. It rang on the first try, I doubt their lines are jammed up.  :hihi:

Cant fucking stream. Somebody in Alaska record it ?:'(

Ask him to play it over the phone to you.

Stream is down.

So... someone better fill us in.. or get some sort of proof or a lot of people are going to be pissed right off..

You have a phone?

Call yourself.

it'll probably be on itunes.

Long distance charges = fuck that!

If he does play it, you can rest knowing SOMEBODY will put it up.

Trust.

Call him again, and tell him to post a yousendit link of the song in this section and title it," IRS-Discussion". :hihi:

Simmer down then.

I told you what he said, you want more, you call him.

You can't afford a one minute phone call?  :P

E for Effort man. Thanks for calling.

Keep us filled in people.  :smoking:

This dj won't do shit besides play it. I am surprised he is even talking to us. If they have it, it may be because it was sent out first as it would take the longest versus NY. Alaska is the one place where same day courier is very expensive and unreliable, maybe they sent it there with extra lead time as a buffer.

LOL, well if I get it, I'm posting it on my forum.............

105.3 in San Diego "has it", but couldn't comment?!?!

-tippin

Well if there's an official single being released today or tomorrow, I guess I should save my money to buy that.

Guess we'll know soon enough...........

If IRS is indeed the 1st single and allready at radio stations then by the end of this week we should know if buckets parts are gunna stay on the record!!

another station has it? ?wtf?!?! ?could this be true then?

Krock 106.7 in Los Angeles has it. and "it will be played".

let's put all our pasts behind us and hug!

YAY!!!

this may be cliche...but

CHINESE DEMOCRACY (really) STARTS NOW!!!

when and ask them how its different

Where did this tidbit of info come from?

mygnrforum. where else? :hihi:

Shit man im getting excited!!!!... fuck man... lol...

Damn this sounds really great! I'm about to call my radio station and see if they have it!! NEW GN'R is gonna hit radio officially....gotta hear it to believe it..but WOW!!!

i hate when we get excited about something and it gets shot down. ?let's hope this is for real... ;D

Everyone in the forum.. lets make a pact... if we do get a hold of this new tune, we share it with EVERYONE and make sure its hear... gotta spread the wealth...

Post this sh1t!! I'll bet it's better than the leak!

Someone call KROQ.

Maybe managment told them not to play till a certain day?

And.. why IRS?

i cant "my posting permissions have been removed" sucks for me.

hmm...i don't know, it'll probably be on sale at iTunes tommorow.

I just called KROQ, yeah, ummm they just laughed when I asked them

It's going to come down to the "Support the band and pay $5.00 for the single" members vs. the "We've been waiting forever for this - fuck you I'm not paying anything" members.

"Fucking GNR fans.. so gulliable"

Oh my.......I can't believe it from that source until I talk to the actual DJ then......... :P

Count chickens much?

lol... thats what i was thinking.... they dont have it ... we have heard radio DJ's say this before.... many many times..... nothing new here.

Everybody should calm down.

You got one DJ in friggin' Alaska that very well may be lying.

Then another source that is known for total bullshit.

Thanks for putting it in perspective.

meh, if this pans out, it could happen.

true, lets not get our hopes up ?:'(

It may not help.

I think gas may already be on the fire........

I'll try KLOS, see what happens, but I can't expect any good news.

even if the DJ said he had it and had it straight from the record label,  anyone can claim that.... has anyone heard it yet???


thats what i thought....

My friend called 97.9 X in Wilkes-Barre, PA. The DJ had no idea what he was talking about, and thought he meant the leaked track. (Which they did play and got a C&D for.)

He was doing it for some cheap publicity

I just checked this post 10 mins ago and there is already 20 new posts....my god. ?Now I'm questioning if this is real or not...why would they have it and not say anything?? ?and why I.R.S?? Merck said there was better...so I'm not sure about this one.

I think that point has been covered.

As a matter of fact, so has your next point.

The station doesn't seem to have a stream up.

If they guy said he was going to play it, he probably did. Does it mean it is official? Nope.

Man, I hope not... :no: :rant: Sadly, I doubt he has it...

Try and remain positive. Wait until this turns into 30 pages of nothing before going negative. :hihi:

From GUNSNROSES.US News: somebody writes in:

I didn't want to post this in the forums and create more hype if it turns out false.

I just called the DJ of the local radio station (though it is owned by Clear Channel) stating that I was calling from Mammoth Music. I figured that with our history together (the station was worked with us on promotional events in the past), I would get a no BS answer.

He told me that he had an actual copy from the record label. I asked him again whether it was different from the internet leaks. His response was that he had those leaks but refused to play them and that this was the real thing. He then went on to say it isn't offical until next week, but that he was sick of waiting and would play it once tonight. Since KWHL is a Clear Channel property hundreds of stations should have this single by now if it has made it to lil' Alaska.

- Chris

KLOS' office is closed. ?




This sucks :-\

I could assume that since it was already leaked it may have forced them to just release a much better version of what had been played (the leak.)

yea, i'm sensing it now...

we get excited...

check different websites...

someone on the board says "let's not get excited because...."

we calm down a bit...

anticipate disappointment...

 ;D

exactly....

we have seen this before from DJ's....

Expect to be let down.

If it pans out, it will be that much better.

They will say anything to get people to listen.

If they play a leak until a C&D then they sure as shit would lie too.

This had better be true!! If it's not...  :rant:

Unless there's been som drastic changes made to I.R.S., I cannot believe Axl's been working on 100+ songs for 13 years only to release that as a first single. In my opinion (and I feel I have a pretty good idea what today's musical climate is like), I.R.S. will not get him any new fans. Old ones will cheer, kids will ignore.

That's why I feel it won't be the first single off of Chinese Democracy and that this story is probably not legitimate.

my hopes are up again  :peace: :o

I think our resident DJ should confirm?? ?Ah--hem, nudge, nudge, hint, hint!!! ?Wake up dude! ?confirm if you can!

This is kinda like what happened with Nirvana's "You Know You're Right."

Stations were playing a low quality MP3 they downloaded - received C&Ds, the stations didn't listen since the song was #1 all across the boards, so Geffen rush released an official copy of the song for the stations to play ahead of time.

Fine by me  : ok:

Again, if the songs has already been leaked and is taking the number 49 spot.......then maybe it forced their hand. Maybe they had another single in mind, but the leak changed that.

They figured they might as well put out the official song that was already being played illegally.



Right, this is what I'm saying.........

I've never been this excited about being disappointed since I lost my virginity

Imagine how I felt.

For years I thought I had lost my virginity, and then it turned out I had a hanging chad. So it wasn't counted..............

but then why not release "official" versions of TWAT, CITR, and Better?

lol

E-Mailed the dudes at the Wrif to see if they know anything about it :P

They're not on the radio.

I dunno........why anything?

Because IRS is the best of the bunch, and grows on people after five or so listens. ?Nice curveball, eh?

LMAO! Nothing like getting the response "Is that it?" :'(

TWAT should be the first single.

No one is going to release 4 singles at the same time.

It is better quality than the demo....I think it's pretty legit

yea, i think i meant "why IRS and not better or TWAT?" ? : ok:

WKLC says:

"The story I get is that stations known to have played the leaked demos are not getting the song for another week"

Nothing on any radio websites indicate any type of single from Guns. Usually the sites will post nice little pictures and graphics of a impact date for a certain single.
www.fmqb.com
www.allaccess.com
www.radioandrecords.com

Nothing as of yet, I check daily and if I see anything I'll post it.

You heard it?

What a phony... "Derek@alaska.com" Alaska.com is like a travel site...

you have 1 post. no ones gonna believe you, ass.

Havoc - better be pretty convincing bro...1 post isn't gonna get you too far around here.

Damn that was my idea! DAMN you Merck you stole my thunder! I said all along that radio stations playing the leak should have to wait, would be a nice little fuck you from Axl.

If he has heard it wtf does he care if we believe him? If he has heard it hes already 1 step above us all :P

Why does that make him a phony? ?Could'nt he work for Alaska.com?

Isn't that awesome.

This might piss ALOT of stations off.

They aren't really in a position to do anything.............

Never trust an Escimo



I was thinking the same thing. He'd be shooting himself in the foot. He needs the radiostations more than they need him.

it was just a matter of time before some one poster shows up and claims he heard it or he recorded it and "doesnt know how to post it" but he will email it someone .. then 40 pages of posts and hes gone, lauging at everyone....

ignore this tool...

Dammit - doesn't management EVER see what's going on? ?I mean, really - a RUMOR that a freakin' station in ALASKA has the official SINGLE, and Gn'R sites all over the place go crazy! ? Why aren't they taking advantage of this?!? ? ?:rant:

Losing 6 stations won't hurt album sales.

it appears that isn't official yet.
The radios are receiving the cds to play in the next week!

96.3 in columbus has it!

how do u know this?

when will they play it?

The radio people are all a bunch of whores. They play what they are told to and that is it. If it is true that they are holding back then still, no big deal. GnR is too big to not play, and they know it. Plus they'll be told to play it.

As does the Buzz in Houston. I called them, they said they have "a" cd they can't play yet.

Says who?

Gimmie the number homeskillet............

I already called Alaska, I ain't scared to call Houston either...............

Anyone ever hear of payola?

I know I'm new, but I didn't create an account just to B.S. you guys. ?I spoke with the DJ and he says it's an official release from the record company and it is the first single. ?I have had no reason to post anything until now. ?I really think it's legit.

Great, I'll tell them "Oh My Choking Soul " sent me..........

this shit better be true

It's not just the DJ's, its the companies that own the stations. I've seen them blackball bands before.

i called and guy and i talked for a few minutes and he said hed try to play it

They won't be open till morning.

The vocals were much more crisp.  The rest was pretty much the same.  Sound kick ass on the radio though!

OH... MY... FUCKING... GOD!!!!! :o :o :o :o
dare we hope? after all these years, can it finally be happening?
i've gotten so used to waiting that this feels simply unreal!!!!!!!
*gets salt, passes it around and watches in excitement*

So you actually heard it?

hmm..interesting.

Q: Do you guys have a new GnR single?

A: That's a good one (laughing)........hangup.

Try to play it, that is just a polite no from a jock.

okay, who of you called which station and got it confirmed? i want to hear that shit now, otherwise i wont be able to sleep,until it turns out to be fake

Technically...

If these stations can't play it until tomorrow, can't they put it on at 12:01 AM?  : ok:

Do I smell a conspiracy? :rofl:

Hmmm... suspect. I was under the impression it would be significantly different. Not anything official... just talk, so I could very well have been lied to.

They are not a radio station?

Has there actually been absolute confirmation that GNR will NOT be on the DaVinci Code soundtrack? ?Could'nt this just be a single being released for that?

The last time that a GNR single was released for a soundtrack it didn't exactly turn out the way most would have hoped.

the alaska station played the demo... of course it sounds better over the radio... an mp3 over your computer speakers isnt gonna sound as good as 1000 watts over the air....

well, bedtime. I'll check in tomorrow morning and I expect to see at least 45 pages in this thread! :hihi:

Thanks again. Good to know my states rock stations are useless. :rant:

Better to know that my fellow GnR fans are the best ?: ok:

Do I smell a conspiracy? :rofl:

Yea, a bunch of guys who believe anything get together with another group of guys who lie.

The end.

.

They are, they are automated and don't take calls at night.

For Real!!! ?I'm tripping as much as you guys.

Oh My God wasn't a single - it was just a song on the movie's soundtrack.

And I'm sure the tracklist for "Da Vinci Code" will leak sometime soon.

so it's fake or what

wouldn't we have heard something official before they were to play on the radio station, like a press release or something ?

I called Alaska and spoke to a DJ. He said it was an official CD single and he was getting ready to play it "In two minutes".

No stream seems to be available, and he could just be holding the leak.

Nobody knows.

Who are you?

And where did you say you heard this?

I spoke to a DJ for the Buzz and not tonight.

wbcn in boston said they dont have it

Or someone who has the demo, also has a Xerox Phaser printer, knows how to use InDesign, and has a good burner---and put together an official looking CD, shipped it to the guy, and told him it was official. ?Nothing would surprise me.

LOL, I doubt it.

Some guy on MyGNR did that a few years back and posted pictures of the disc.

Oh, you claim to have heard it too?

I am calling that station tomorrow to verify.

Right before he played it, the DJ said he could get in trouble for playing it, but he didn't really care. ?My immediate thought was it would be the demo I've heard. ?But, then he said it was the actual single from the record company. ?And, it sounded pretty damn good...better than the demo. ?

Im sure someone will spread this new version thru the internet if it truely is a real single from GNR Mgmt.

Where are you though?

What station?

What city?

Are you in Alaska?

and what did he tell you???? ?btw i have a big statue in NY harbor that ill sell to you for 50 bucks and its yours..

The mods will either be on it like white on rice or give it time to spread then shut it down. I hope for the former. ;)

i was thinking the same thing. axl did this in '99 with OMG, but then again you never know anything with gnr.
if anyone in this thread is bullshitting and lying for attention; go to hell, you're an embarrasment to the gnr fanbase.

I remember that. Fooled quite a few people.

I swear....I heard it. ?No joke!!  I'm in Anchorage.

I can count about two right now that are............

another single poster who claims to have heard something that nobody else who spends hours on the GNR boards have heard.... get real dude..

Exactly, for every four semi-sane GNR heads, there is one complete maniac.

another n00b, this time over at cd.com

CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS TOMORROW AT 5:00PM.

I emailed 3 local stations here, 2 of them got back to me and said that YES that have an official single from GRN, though they didnt tell me what it was.

DEBUT IS TOMRROW.
 

 ::)

Nobody on this forum is sane. Period. The sane people all have lives. We're here huddled over our comps counting the seconds down to ChiDem.

the patheticness of people never ceases to amaze me.

SCL: who is it? i wanna know so i can tell them how sick i am of these fucking bullshit games.
they're not worth the fucking ground i step on. losers!

Found the picture:

patheticness ? ?;D

 ;) :beer:

wtf...

No B.S. here...I heard it 1 hour ago on 106.5 KWHL. ?The DJ is "Porno Brad" ?Call if you don't believe me...907-349-9691

You didnt know that noobs get all the scoops? :rofl: :rofl:

That is a lot of work for a fake CD..........

someone call the fucker

907-349-9691

Whose number is this?

The guy in Alaska?

Anyone can find the name of the DJ and just say you know his name.... I'm not believing you nor disbelieving you right now...

...i'm on the case

nobody answered the phone

let the madness begin

hope its real though

I belive you heard the leaked Demo.... I dont belive you heard anything "new"

I have checked this board out for years and every time someone with only a few posts claim some news the rest of us have been waiting years to hear it turns out to be bullshit?You do not know how I hope I am wrong and some new axl music has hit the airwaves!!!!

I agree, I would imagine you heard the linked demo and it sounded better to you on the radio versus hearing it as a MP3 file online

There is too much in the air:

The DJ could have been lying

The poster can be lying

The DJ could have just played the leak

etc etc

Heh. I made that for a graphics demo a couple years back, never actually planned on posting it. Boredom got the best of me one night a couple months later, so I decided to post it for no reason but to rouse people up. Probably not the smartest thing I have ever done, but oh well.  :confused: I even had an entire album cover made for it, still have that kicking around on my hard drive.

Anyway.. Sorry about that. =\ It's got nothing to do with this rumor.

It would sound worse on the radio than on your computer

honestly i think the DJ was pulling this guys chain. being sarcastic ?:-\

bullshit starts now.

you need a hobby.... you knew that ALOT of people will belive thats real and your holding out on them... they want to belive that sooooooo badly.....

u r probably right dave...i should have said, may have sounded "different" to the poster than the computer version of the leaked demo

Wait, wait wait... Set the record straight, I never heard it. The DJ could be full of shit. I saw him at Hooters, yes I went there for luch. Yes I am ashamed.

Your IP is from Alaska.

Oh my Choking Soul I don't believe because you started a false thread in the past.

maybe your computer... not mine... my home audio and reciever would blow away any computer speakers and an mp3 played with windows media or whater..

Bet....

seriously, don't even waste time on this pathetic idiot playing games with people's emotions and lives for his own sick pleasure. he probably signed up not to clear things up but for attention again. fucking sad. PEOPLE, DO NOT RESPOND TO GWELDER AGAIN AND DO NOT RESPOND DO THIS POST IF POSSIBLE, PAY HIM OR THE FAKE CD NO ATTENTION, HE ISN'T WORTH IT

Its false:

 I told Merck about the radio station in Anchorage that claims it received the IRS single from the label, and its claim it would start playing it tomorrow. So, I asked him if this means the single is being officially released tomorrow. He said no.

"No, it is bogus," he said.


*Sorry guys, but I thought we should find out the truth before that thread spanned 100 pages.
 

Earlier in this thread you said you heard it.

Also, you claimed to be an "insider" a couple weeks ago.



Is this ^^^ the guy who started this IRS radio shit over at mygnr?

2 out of 5 of my false thread statements happened. Some still will. I always said "I was told" and I can now say that my source was (still is) emplyed by a famous music weblog. I agknowledge that some turned out to be false. One of which just happened. Axl's official Slash announcement. My contact assumed that meant Slash was coming back.

just as we all suspected....

I started a false thread? ?I never have. ?I'm totally new

Simmer down man, I'm not trying to garner any attention, I'm trying to apologize for ever posting it in the first place!

Atleast we know the truth. I kinda believed it at first, but then didn't... I didn't give my hopes up.

Fuck that. We want CD to start..damnit.. get off your asses

Not true.

Right, I'm sure you're an expert on the subject.  ::)

The guy didn't even post the picture, he merely admitted that it was him that did the graphic, I suggest you think before you post and overreact.

Merck's answer says nothing except that the single isn't being officially released tomorrow.  Didn't the guy in Anchorage already say that he was supposed to wait a week to play it but got tired of waiting?

You really need to read both how questions are worded to Merck AND his responses.  He's very good at skirting around issues.

I'm not saying this story is in any way true, mind you - I'm simply saying that Merck's answers tend to always have some vagueness to them if you really look.  (Its usually more the questions posed to him than the actual answers he gives, credit given where its due)

-darknemus

Wrong, a mp3 made into a aiff or wav you lose a lot of quality. Its just like if you take a song off a cd make it an mp3 and turn it back into a aiff/wave its going to sound worst than the orginal cd version

People are calling the DJ's--"hey do you have the new GNR?" ?DJ, "yes!"

Well, sure they do, the demo leaks. ?People have to clarify, is it an "official, single or the demo leak?"

yup yup yup

Correct.

There is too much in the air:

I agree...seems like something is up in the GnR camp...better be before they start collecting social security.

I would just like to hear from an official source than some cheesy dj...

I did not say you did bro. Read again.

If this single was legit there would be a press release before it.

says you. 

boner killer..

im telling you dude... the radio on my home audio is better than any computer speakers or files you have....

Are you looking to get banned?  You're going the right way about it.

thats what i said over at mygnr

The radio?

Unless you have satellite radio which broadcasts audio at a higher bitrate than FM, you have no idea what you're talking about.

i asked if they had the official one they said yes(columbus 96.3)

What about the poster who comes to the board and lies? Isn't that poster supposed to be banned?

I agree with your assessment of Merck, he doesn't seem to ever fully explain anything, and shouldn't be considered the final word on this situation.

However, I personally think it's odd that IRS would be the first single. Sure, it's a good song, but I think it's almost universally accepted that "Better" is a much more radio friendly song. As much as I'd like this to be true, I can't really see it panning out.

EDIT: And that's only of what we've heard. Something I don't see people talking about is that the first single may very well be a song we've never heard of.

i live in dayton.

whats the number to the columbus station ?

Your stero has NOTHING to do with how the song sounds. It has to do with the source of the song. You can have the best speakers in the world but if you play a crappy mp3 version of a song its not going to sound good.

Did you meet danny and his faxes?

I'm here now, and stirring things up in a thread for no reason is just pathetic.  Hence the warnings.

and untill you learn about speakers, and home audio set up you have no idea what your talking about either... but im sure your computer speakers rock!

can you call him again and ask why he's making up shit,since merck denied it? would like to know his answer to that

 :rofl: :rofl: yeah, by a couple hundred information starved fanatics :peace:

if the email from merck is legit, then it's the final word. It's a fake, get over it : ok:

that's the best thing i've read from you yet, i don't wanna be liked by someone like you.
that being said, grown people crying for attention by fucking with people's minds and hopes should be spit on and whipped in public and shot in the fucking balls.

now go ahead and ban me if that makes you feel any better.
i know most people are on my side, i just say what they feel.

I live in San Luis obispo, CA and KZOZ just announced that they have the new G and R single IRS and they will be playing it momentarily. ?No BS

another one poster.... come on..

96.3

He probably does, the demo that is.

Before this thread turns into 100 different people arguing the tonal quality of an mp3 vs. an FM wavelength broadcast vs. XM vs. Lossless audio vs. DAT vs. freaking MIDI files, can we take that discussion somewhere else?

On topic: Obviously time will prove this rumor right or wrong.  I mean, if stations are playing the track, we're going to know about it.  What's 2 or 3 earwitness reports for the time being could easily be 50-100 tomorrow, again if this is true.

-darknemus

The source of the audio is different than the device that transmits the audio.

I can put a 24 kbs MP3 file over your 10 Gagillian Dollar home audio system and it will still sound like shit.

So if I listen through a 24 kbs MP3 file through headphones, you're listening through the same 24 kbs MP3 file through a 10 Gagillian Dollar home audio system.

That doesn't change the source of the audio.

Follow me?

phone number

I never had a reason to post before. ?Check their site and see if you can stream. ?93.3 KZOZ

WOW- Another poster with 1 to his credit claiming something....

All I know is I'm sick of Merck playing games. It seriously has to stop. The momentum from the leaks is already dead. He had his time to strike while the iron was hot and he blew it. Simple as that.

I mean "mychokingsoul" who has been less then honest in history of posting.

this circus is getting out of hand.
the gnr fanbase doesn't benefit from stirring things up, AdZ is right about that.
i'm leaving this hellhole till tomorrow morning, good night.

I can't beleive the "Danny's Fax" thing still gets mentioned around here.

Axl Freek....I'm in dayton as well

hahahahaha!!!!!

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You have 9...not exactly a lot. ?I have every reason to believe the other guy...since I actually DID hear it on the radio. ?I must be the luckiest person alive.

I have a better home audio set up than you, and trust me I know more than you but think what you want. You are wrong. Playing an mp3 over an FM station is going to sound worse than it would on your computer since the bit rate is higher for the computer than it is for the FM statations. ?An decompressed mp3 is not going to sound amazing over the station and the only way it would sound BETTER on the radio is if the station had the CD copy that was never made into an mp3 then turned back into an AIFF file. ?So if the station played a verion that sounded better than the version we have, you have to ?believe its the legit single or it was taken off the first orginal leaked CD and never made into an mp3

ok... listen to your mp3 thru headphones ?OR thru home audio and tweak it with an EQ and see what SOUNDS better... ?even if the source is shit you can still make it sound better with the equipment its played on...

so am i and i heard it on my laptop. :-\
what fucking faxes?
this is ridicilous.

back on topic boy or your gonna get banned!!!!!!!!!

That is different because its not being aired over FM stations that are a low bit rate.

Ok - but you claimed that over the radio (FM) a source file sounds better than it would in its original form.

That's not true - it loses quality over FM airwaves as the bitrate is downsampled.

how bout that phone number pal ?

As I posted before I hope I am wrong about the single...but what I am not wrong about is the number of posts someone has and the amount of bullshit they are spreading..

I do not have many post but I have never spread crap on the site as well....

I ?hope you have heard the song

Do a quick search and call.

ive heard the Demo....

Jesus H. Christ, would you people stfu about your stereo systems?  I'm glad some of you have 5,000 dollar rigs and some of you have .39 cent speakers that came from Croatia or something.  Who the hell cares.  As they say in Star Wars:

"Stay on Target, Stay on Target!"

On-topic: Anyone compiling a list of the actual stations that people say are making this claim?  The more that do, the more intriguing it becomes, in my opinion.

-darknemus

His IP is from Alaska, and the DJ did tell me he was about to play the official single.

So.......if anybody is lying it is the DJ in regards to single or leak. But not the poster in question.

I guess I can say the same thing...I have never spread crap on this site either.

This is going to be absolutely terrible for my work performace tomorrow.......

;D

Backseat moderating alert!

(http://www.duckyousucker.com/images/POLICE-SIREN-ANIMATED.gif)

This is on target. We are trying to figure out ?if its really a cleaned up demo or a legit new single.

So did that station KZOZ play it??? what happened??

LOL....

i didn't get through to the columbus station but if anybody else wants to try feel free.

Studio Line: 614-821-9696

Toll Free Studio Line: 877-QFM-9696

I know who you meant.


Dave - It's not on topic, you're arguing about how something will sound, not about the actual single/demo.

I have to back Nemus, let's stay on topic--please, name the station. ?I have expected GNR to drop these things with little or no warning, to avoid pre-release backlash, and there will be far more notiriety with a surprise single.

Are you still claiming they played it and you heard it?

Thank you...I have met the DJ a few times and he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would make this all up. ?To me, it sounded legit. ?I think we can all agree......Please let it be real!!! ?Almost 2 hours have gone by since I heard it and I'm still pumped.

so how was it different than the DEMO... have you even heard the demo??????

Yep...heard it. ?Wait....................yep, heard it.

I believe you, but it's hard to believe that the song wasn't the leak.... Idk, I guess we'll just have to wait and see if anything comes of this.

Nice typing style, who are you, Izzy?

So tell how it was different from the demo... have you even heard the demo? ? ? ? ?

I've heard the demo and it's pretty much the same. ?The vocals sounded better though. ?Maybe it was because it was on the radio. ?I don't know...I'm not like an expert or anything. ?I'm pretty sure it was real...DJ was very convincing if he was lying.

im guessing they just cleaned up the demo.... Its not official the dj just thinks it is...

The DJ told me on the phone that is was an official CD single.

I want to make sure I understand what MAY be happening.

Some smaller radio stations are saying that they have the Studio release of IRS as GNR's first single. ?They are not supposed to play it until next week, when the offical release is supposed to be.

Now my thoughts:

Are singles like this normally sent to radio stations about a week before they are to be aired? ?I'm assuming yes. And I'm assuming the station could get into trouble if they played it before hand.

So, larger radio stations, who want to keep their good graces with the labels and such, would want to keep their knowledge of this new single a secret. ?I'm wondering if a small radio station out in Alaska may feel they could get away with playing this without anyone knowing. ?Of course, they underestimate the GNR fans I guess lol

Did he say, "yes it's official, a new GNR song?" ?I think, if that is the case, it's the cleaned IRS demo version, that has the best quality.

KZOZ said again they are going to play it sometime during the program. I am sitting by the radio....

LOL @ this thread. I thought the Oscar thread the other night was some piece of work.

I think this is a radio station gag, btw. To see how many hits their website can get in an evening.

With this reaction, Axl should release this beast and ride the wave of excitement.

Btw, we should get a gold members section of this forum, to filter out the blather. Sometimes these threads go off track with newbie banter.

maybe it is....

Yes, and they sometimes even get it like 2 weeks in advance. In the UYI days, my local radio stations were playing it a week before it came out. darknemus probably knows more about this though. Maybe he can answer the question.

I've already said it three times. He said it was an official single CD.

Rleasing a song called IRS on or around April 15th.... (americans yearly taxes are due by April 15th) would make for some smart marketing ideas........

What station is this?

jameslofton29,

Stations usually get singles, yeah,about a week or so in advance from my understanding.  I'm not sure exactly what happened with the UYI stuff, though.  That was pretty much a different time.

(The stations getting those tracks a week early explains how they tend to 'leak' alot before they're ever aired)

-darknemus

Hmmmmm.........

hmm...gotta wonder if the boston stations are just covering their butts until next week ???

No they would just say, we will play it next week. They could admit it

if the poster who is listening to KZOZ can stay online and post what they hear that would be cool... KZOZ doesnt have a very good website..

93.3 KZOZ San Luis Obispo. ?It is the real deal ?they've said it twice but haven't played it. ?Last week they were playing the leaks though too.

UYI stuff
Knock in On Heavens Door - days of thunder soundtarck
Civil War - Romanian Children benefit record
you could be mine - Terminator 2 soundtrack

Don't cry was the 4th song radio got , but the first single, all the others were on the compilations listed

why do all the posters only have less than 10 posts that are claimig to hear the song?

Yea, it doesn't have a live stream either.......... :no:

Bottom line is that by this time tomorrow we should have a much better understanding of what, if anything, to make of all of this.  Time, indeed, reveals all.

-darknemus

WEZX Rock 107 in Scranton, PA doesn't have it. (I'm an intern/soon to be employee there)

97.9 X in Wilkes-Barre, PA (I have a friend that's a jock there, and his boss knows people at Geffen) have heard nothing about it either.

But still - too many stations are independently verifying this...

funny how that works isnt it?

If it makes you feel better, 98 rock here in Tampa said the new GnR "SUCKS"............. :hihi:

In addition to getting them a week early, the FM stations in the larger markets will get visits from label reps, and some goodies depending upon the importance of the spins. ?Universal claims they have "no idea," about the album and songs right now, but that might be a cover. ?Univeral, although not officially crossing the line into "payola" levels, is notorious for pushing not only spins at stations, but also manufacturing album sales. ?Just some food for thought. ?i concur with Darknemus, par for the course is a week ahead of time. ?They could begin to send this stuff the day of, though, soon, via the internet.

Wow.  The same thread over on mygnr.com just got locked.  Communists.

So then what is your opinion?

Dude,

Why don't you do some sneak peak news reporting and call 93X.  If anyone would have it...they would!!

Robio

Kickass idea. Crazy enough to work. :P

With GnR, all we have is time.

I just checked Krock's website here in NYC, I checked new music this week and no GNR however I don't know how often they update the site....The music news is from Dec. :confused:

all we have is precious time ::) :hihi:

Ah, "Communists" is not the correct term my friend.  I would say they are closer to "Cheneyist's" at that site.

I don't know. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre are pretty good sized TV markets, but I'm sure what the actual size is for radio. Its possible that we're low priority and haven't received any singles yet, but the bigger markets have. (Although I can't say that Anchorage is a radio hotbed.) The fact that its being independently verified in so many different places makes me think that Merck is a douche. But, that's nothing new.

Bipolar from cd.com just talked to merck and he said

I try not to cater to every single rumor - It is confirmed to us via Sanctuary that there is no new music sent out for Guns N Roses to these music stations. -BP gunsnroses.us // chinesedemocracy.com

Ok, I don't feel like reading 18 pages of garbage.

So what's the bottom line with this latest rumor?

Agreed, comrade.  :smoking:

Lmao.... I wonder why so many stations said they had the final version all of the sudden then? Did they call eachother and tell eachother to say bullsh17?

The elusive Bigfoot still has not been caught??..

I personally love how Merck can sit and play on his computer all night, every night, but yet he can't gather enough energy to open Microsoft Word and type up a press release.

Merck = a tool.

LOL!! Now that we know this is fake, I am going to dive into some Vodka!

Are you questioning the Merckster's work ethic? :o

I would imagine he is using a Blackberry ;)

I have to admit, I've been reading this thread with a bottle of Bushmill's and a shot glass at my side. ?I guess I've sold out the proletariat. ?Oh well, the Irish have more fun anyway. ? :beer:

like someone said earlier.... assume it to be not true that way your not let down.....

Now that's the best thing I've heard all night!! ? :)
This band and its organization has piss-poor communication techniques. ?I just thought I'd state the obvious. ? :crying:

I still say that a trained chimp could do Merck's job better. Hell, I'd love to be in his position. Get paid to sit and deny every single rumor that comes to your inbox.

Nah.......just typing skills.

hmmmmm , so erm .. does that mean sanctuary HAS new gnr music and THEY will decide when a new single happens and WHAT it will be?!

Tough to type at a club, with a Blackberry. ?Also, I don't think this incident (made up feeding frenzy) can be used as an example of the band's bad communication skills. ?They had no control over this, and were kind enough to respond. ?On the other hand, yesterday's grammatically challenged press release is another story.

Let's drink to the salt of the earth!

I think its true.Although i doubt I.R.S being first single...........CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS ???????

I don't always have the greatest impression of Merck, but I am sure the guy is doing what he is being paid to do. What else do you expect from him?

Deader than a door nail.
 :yes:

Day after tomorrow...............

Maybe.

Well that was real............LEE something.

I'm outa here............

just found this, anyone know if it is true??

REPOST :
WAAF in Boston is claiming they have it now, as are other radio stations. Not just hte song, but a hard copy sent to them, and permission to play in the next few days/within next week. The album seems closer to a release.

Its a lie since I emailed the WAAF PD and was told there is no new gnr single yet.

His speech regarding the need, inside of the industry, to allow artists to grow as musicians; and that the current label model (talentless, beautiful, manipulated one-hit wonders) is self-destructive in the long run, was brilliant.  The guy knows his stuff, I just think he could use some help in helping his clients project image, marketing, and public relations.  I really get a feeling, though, that he is a brilliant historian of rock music, knows the right people in the game, and maintains solid relationships with his clients.   

We the fan's are suffering from the big labels move away from music, and towards Wall Street.  Merck comes from the old school, and that is a very good thing.   :peace:

I'd like to read that speech........gotta link?

You guys are still talking about this?  ;)

Actually IRS is the song best recived by the General public so ya... and in mind there right.
 :beer:

I agree, while I don't find IRS to be the best, it does seem to be the song closest to the old style rock. I think I.R.S. is the worst of the bunch, but a song like better isn't like other guns, and so might not be the best way to introduce the new band. Once the public gets used to Axl and Co. being back, then that may be the best time to show all the ways Axl's writing has evolved over all this time. Again, we really don't know, and this rumor looks to be totally false by many accounts, but that would be my logic behind I.R.S.

Man, I fucking love IRS. It gives fucking orders. Its got balls. That fucking attitude...and sounds cool as hell.

This is another example of where being subjective doesn't apply. You don't like it, you are a dumb monkey. Keep playing with your feces monkey boy.

I hate living on the West Coast sometimes.  The threads die just when I'm getting ready to start reading in earnest.  Damn.

So wait a second, none of this is true?  What about all the reports of those other stations having the song?  It's all made up?   :confused:

I don't believe anything anymore until I see or hear it.. best way to go through this shit.

What's goign on? Is there a official song or not, I just logged on...

Nope. Just rumors and BS.

Like the last 4 years....

Yeah pretty much.. Its like the twilight zone.. the never ending circle of the same BS and rumors over and over again.

I'm actually glad this one looks like total  BS, if IRS is the first single, then New GNR is either in a world of hurt or suffering from someone who made a really poor choice for the single ...

Yeah.. Tax day should be a fun day if we do not hear anything official before then. The IRS rumors will be off the charts.

Complete bullshit i'm sure.

The dumbass dj in alaska probably hasn't been sent any new music in 10 years. Its probably an oldies station.
Got send the leak and thinks he is the coolest shit ever... :hihi:

Um. Suit yourself.

Soots me just fine thankyou................

didnt say there wasnt a single out said not irs. and that a singlwe wouldnt be released today, so no single cd

Karolyi at WCCC in Hartford says they have gotten nothing.? And no word of anything that is on it's way, either.

Given Hartford is a pretty big radio market, and WCCC is a HUGE rock station here...IF this were true, I think they'd have it, or at least heard of something in the pipeline.

The verson of IRS we have all heard is not a master copy. its a demo. i think better is close to being the master recording that we will here on the CD. but i think the IRS single ( if its realy a single ) is a mastered copy. which would be a much better verson of the song. longer shorter. compleatly diffrent the same. we havent heard what axl has done with the song yet. but the demo was work in progress so lets not doubt the songs potential.

i beg to differ there m8. Its the best

VRslash yes. I hear mysteron reported that the IRS leaked last april was an early rough demo.
the full one we got now is not much different from that one, or maybe just cleaner.

What's the usual way things are done with regards to single releases?

If and it's a big if there is any truth to this rumour would it just be the U.S. to get the single for now and then be released in other countries later or is it more likely to be a released on the same date everywhere worldwide? If it's the latter would it be worth calling some of the bigger radio stations in the U.K. for example?

If they were to have some form of single as well I would think it's fair to say a release is on it's way soon. ?

seems odd that with all of these stations claiming to have a single, i tuned into my home station 93.3 KZOZ last night, and they claimed the same thing.  At 9:30 (approx) they did, what they called, a "world premier" of the new IRS song from Guns.  I have been listening to the leaked track for a couple of weeks, and last night's "debut" seemed exactly the same.  Kind of weird. It will be interesting to hear what happens today.

Well, after playing WTTJ this morning, my local rock DJ said nothing of the sort.  His comment was something like: "Well, looks like Axl's gone into seclusion again.  First we heard that Chinese Democracy was coming out in March.  Now it does'nt look like that's happening.  Then there were a bunch of leaked songs.  Then people though Axl leaked the songs.  Then we though the record company leaked them.  Now it looks like neither did and we all have to wait forever again to hear this Chinese Democracy."

did i miss something??  ???

i guess 20+ pages threads about nothing are getting cool...

So what are you saying there Danny? This going to be dead year pal?

I didn't realize this is 20th page...I only read this page.

But to my understanding various stations in North america have started to claim this at the same time. am I right?

Surely Something is underway.

i hope it is : ok:

but i`m fed up with this crappy threads....

you know, i wake up....then i check htgth and there are two new 20 pages threads about citr, axl being at the oscars, axl doing interviews, official singles around, etc...........  that sucks, but it just shows how desperated we are to get news...   axl should just let the cat out of the bag : ok:

I was just reporting what my local-yokal DJ said this morning.  It doesn't bring any creadance to the fact that a bunch of people seem to think there's some single that all American radio stations have and are just waiting for the OK to play it.

But since you ask, I DO indeed think it will be a dead year...at least as far as CD is concerned.  We will get these overseas shows (which I think will be pretty dissapointing to the hardcore GNR fans) as a way to supplement the Axl income and MAYBE we'll get a song on a soundtrack.

I hope I'm wrong, I really do...but nothing has lead me to think otherwise.  Especially not "Axl being seen places".

http://www.kroq.com/request/

IRS is availiable for request. FYI.

WAAF (Boston) claims that they don not have an "official" CD Single, all they have is the leaked track.
 
WHJY (Providence, RI) played SCOM this morning, then followed up with a quick primer on the leaks (and a few jabs at the new lineup) then a description of the lawsuit. They then closed the segment by saying that Chinese Democracy should be available within a month or so. (No mention of a New Single)

I think the first single will be "Better".

i think we're gonna get more news this week.

our local station here just played it again.... but I swear it is the demo.  They didn't announce it this time either.  But I don't know that they would just keep playing it unless they could.... weird.

Was your station one of the stations that was playing it heavily a few weeks back? I think only those stations (WAAF etc...) were issued C&D's. So smaller stations are getting around to playing it now.

Well, Kerrang UK have said they do not have an official quality version of IRS. However, they have recently found the demo version and will be playing it on Saturday at 6pm for any English fans that are interested.

They have already played 'Better', the dj loved it!

If there isnt an "official CD quality" IRS, then why is the thread still going? Also, why did several radio stations say that there was? :nervous: Is it just the demo we all have?

Also, if there were official promos out, you can be guaranteed that some would be on ebay already.

'Life changing'!  :P

z100 out of jonesboro, ar just played irs.........but abosolutley no mention of what or who it was after they song was played.  but they did play one of those "new music" intros before the song began.

Whats the stations format?? Z100 sounds like a Top 40 station?

Im way late to this but IRS would be a great choice for 1st single.

Its already built up tons of buzz and was already getting played to death.

Bands fuck up these days by putting out their best song first.

U dont wanna do this.

U want the album to crescendo up and have every single be better than the last.

So release IRS and then come with other big guns.

I personally don't think it is single-worthy D, but perhaps a version since is. If Better isn't one of the top 2 or 3 songs, it would make a great choice if you don't want THE big gun first.

I think they should put THE best song first. After such a long time, the press and fans will either drool or totally slam the whole thing judging by the first single, so I think they need to make it good.

Just found this on Ebay, but it's prolly bullshit:

http://cgi.ebay.com/GUNS-N-ROSES-NEW-SONG-IRS-STUDIOVERSION-INSTANT-D-L_W0QQitemZ7598083801QQcategoryZ53261QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Has anyone tried this one yet ?

It would be a weak first song... first impressions are everything!!!

I disagree, it seems to me IRS has been the most well recieved in most reviews of the Demos (not on the board but in the press)..people seem to think it sounds like old guns more than the other stuff....and it already has charted!!

kerrang uk quite a big company own a few radio stations and they are playing it tomorrow apparently so it seems that it might be becoming unofficially official if you get what i mean

Isn't Kerrang radio in Manchester?

yeah and liverpool and you can hear it online

theres 2 different stations not sure which of the 2 it is playing on

apparently (not sure on source) its playing at 6pm tomorrow (11th march) in the uk

www.kerrang.co.uk you can get access to kerrang radio on there

this is bullshit , someone making money off the leaks !
how do you inform eBay of they so they pull it?

they often won't pull things off they say its a "free market place" but id consult the faq's

I just tried, it fits several criteria they have listed to be pulled,
1- you cant sell links
2- you can't sell un-officiall material (music, movies etc..)
3 - definetly some kind of copyright infringment here
but to send the e-mail to them you need an account, I don't have one

does anyone have and ebay account? - if you do read this post

Thanks a lot.

I do wonder why they still don't have Kerrang radio in London yet. Fools!

yeah id like that lots, all i have is zane lowe on radio 1 if im out and about

lol you were the one that told me fool

Maybe they think it is the best one or most complete at the time who knows

if you have SKY in the UK go to page 183,thants kerrang radio

so a studio version of IRS is being played tonight on kerrang? ill listen on sky.

we don't know if its studio, all they said is that they will be playing a new gnr song "irs" tonight at 6 so it may be a studio version or it may be the leak, however kerrang being a big uk company is unlikely to be playing leaks and risking a lawsuit

yeah soz,didnt realize that  : ok:

why are we still on this, the studio IRS was confirmed as bullshit

when did they say they were goin to play I.R.S on kerrang radio

the other day one of the dj's said it would be played on sat at 6pm

not sure what day GNFNR will have to answer that

well they just had a radio promo for download festival on kerrang radio.maybe that was it  :hihi:

now there playin KIDS WITH GUNS-FEEDER.are they playin games or am i paranoid  :confused: :nervous:

is there a website where i can here the station...?

http://www.whatson.com/kerrang/

who knows?

If it does or doesnt.. We still see Guns on the 12th.

This IRS single is true than GNFR = INSIDER , ho knows ...... AXL didin t say nothing about a single in the interwiew so...

intriguing - it would make a lot of sense for a song to be given to radio before the tour

I dont think its true, we have heard this like 4 times already. I also dont think IRS would be the first single its the weakest of the 4 leaks and even of the 3 main songs they played live (cd, maddy and the blues)

The version we've heard is weak, I agree 100%.  But who knows what it sounds like now?  Axl knows what he's doing and the label isn't out to lose money on GNR.  Whatever is released has my confidence.

IRS in my opinion was the strongest. Twat I thought was terrible and CITR was to boring.
Better was pretty good.

i think it's bogus.
if cd is out in the fall it would be too early for a single i think. but maybe we'll get cd earlier if the irs rumour is true ???
i'm inclined to think that some radios try to get a bit more people to listen to them and they're using the gnr new shows

If Alaska is good enough for Predators to build a secret underground temple to harvest and fight Aliens, then maybe it's good enough for AXl Rose : ok:

I don't know why he would chose Alaska to broadcast a new single, but okey doke. I'm crying foul until some hard evidence surfaces.

but for the record, I'm more than happy if IRS is the first single. I love that song

we've been down this road 2 or 3 times already. i don't believe it til i hear it.

Bogus to the max.............

I think 'I.R.S' would be a good starting point for the new Guns. It's a pretty traditional track and definetly one of the best leaks. They are all strong songs and we don't even know if it's going to be that song or maybe one we have never heard.

Either way Guns N' Roses surely cannot release a single about 5 months before their album was scheduled to be released. That doesn't make any sense. If anytime it will be during the European tour. : ok:

IRS would work very well in Europe. It's a pretty straight "rock in your face" track, people like that here.
It's Rock, pretty aggressive but not too much, it doesn't sound metal or anything like that, nice intro with accoustic guitar, then it starts rocking with an easy remembering guitar riff,?vocal lines are great, it's great.

Maybe up a little bit the tempo and add another rythm guitar (more aggressive) and it would be a PERFECT 1st single.

The guys at WCCC in Hartford say they neither have it, nor are they expecting it.  And they are CT largest (and pretty much only) Rock station.

Now, they could be lying, I suppose.....but I doubt they are.

A friend of mine told me he heard a new Guns N' Roses song on the radio here in Newfoundland, Canada last night. He wouldn't make up something like that, as he isn't a Guns fan, and doesn't really know that I like them very much.

Plus, none of the stations around here played any of the leaks.

This gives a lot more merit to what he told me

If in case he truly heard a new song, I bet he wouldn't be the only one knowing about it atm.

The question is, if he's not much of a Guns fan...how would he know it was 'new'?  Did the DJ SAY it was new?  If that was the case, he probably would have given a title, as well.  Which means your friend would probably remember it.

Or, as is more likely, did the DJ play something that your friend hadn't heard before, and he assumed it was new?  Like something off TSI?  I've had people hear "Hair o' the Dog" and tell me they thought it was new GnR (again, they weren't big fans).....

They announced it as a new song.
This place is a very small province, and it seems like there's only one other person from around here on this message board, so it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't a huge deal.

With that said, I'm not ruling out that it wasn't a new song.  But, this is far from New York or LA or anything. It wouldn't be surprising at all if there wasn't a huge deal made about it. That's probably why the radio station played it in the first place, assuming it WAS a new song. They knew that they wouldn't have to worry about taping/"leaking" or any trouble from record execs.

Was it on Krock or Ozfm?

I wish england would have these privalages

I honestly don't know which station it was.
Just repeating what I heard from him. I assumed it was mistake, but since I saw this thread today, the two tied in together pretty well.

Can you find out which station so I can find out if it was actually played or not?

I'm going to e-mail both stations right now.
I really doubt it was Hits FM...

Here's the e-mail that I got back from K Rock.

Hey Ryan?  I did play a new GnR tune on Monday night?  It?s called IRS.  A few months ago, some material from the fourthcoming album Chinese Democracy leaked onto the internet.  Radio stations all over started playing it until Axl?s lawyers sent cease and desist letters to everyone.  However, I?m still waiting for my letter (haha).  Axl said last week that the album will hit shelves this fall?  but he also said it was going to be out this past March and we haven?t heard anything yet.  You can hear the song Monday if you like?  I have been opening Big Hairy Tunes with it every Monday night looking for my ?Letter?.  Big Hairy Tunes?  Weeknights at 9?  on K-Rock.

 

Cheers,

Bigtom

I love how, and Slash knew what he was doing, everyone now attributes Slash's statements about a March release to Axl.  Lazy reporters, and DJ's.

And that is a perfect example of 99% of the DJ's. They dont know shit and just regurgitate the shit that gets shoved down their throats on the internet.  ::)

This tool sounds like he wants a letter really bad, maybe this should be forwarded to Meck, and make this guys wish come true.

Im pretty sure that most DJs collectively know less than we do.  This is definitley proof of it by mixing up the slash statement as being from Axl about a march release date.

and yet again, it all proved to be bullshit. i'm sure when a single IS released, it'll be on iTunes when it hits radio just like every other single from every other band. i'm also sure iTunes will have tons of promotion for it.

                If IRS is released as a single it could possibly go on the Greatest Hits Vol.2 album due June 6th. Axl can use that as a bridge album to show the world the new G'n'R and play it as he tours.

                  It could also help him sell Chinese Democracy having a hit single on one album and being massivly played over the summer and he can release a 2nd single and shoot a video for the album all on the strong buildup of IRS as a launching pad.

Uhhh...what greatest hits album on June 6th? Tower Records.com has it as a biography CD

I can't believe I just read 25 pages with no conclusions...... my eyes hurt.  :'(
So let me get this straight, no one can confirm this is a 'new' IRS? or is this BS?

emailed Octane on Sirius ....they responded by saying....they havent seen anything, but cant wait.
LJ

of course its bs.... if it was real or there was a new leak of a new IRS this would be deleted and a new sticky saying no downloads of the new irs.... lol

                      Theres a 3 disc biograpgy box set ( damn..wanted music...) and a Greatest Hits vol.2 CD listed as being released June 6th. I saw it on a search at a music store .

Here in Providence they just played a song and it was.....PATIENCE!!!!!! oh my god is that the new song???....oh wait no it the same old shit they keep playing. After the song the girl comes on and had nothing to say about a new song... VH1 is playing November Rain right now...MAY 14th!!!!!! :peace:

Are you going to the shows?  I live in Foster.

I seriously doubt that any CD songs will be "Huge hits" mainstream wise.
When was the last time a hard rock song was a "Huge hit" on mainstream radio? 1994?

Rock radio is another story though.

Yes i'll be NYC all weekend and i'll be there at the show on the 14th  :beer:

I just talked to the woman at that Alaskan radio station. She said she'd put it on. I don't know what the hell to believe.

Station's name and link to website.  ::)

i called two days ago...the guy told me he just had the I.R.S. leak that everyone else has.

                                  We've seen some hard rock hits since 1994. I believe Godsmack notched a hit with " I Stand Alone " which got an Oscar nomination one year. Guns n Roses could have a solid hit with I.R.S as we heard...it was up to #49 on the radio airplay chart before it got pulled.

                           

i have to agree with that, GnR top 10 days are over. If anything does make it up there, it wont stay there long, Unless CD sounds like nickleback.

I wish I could go.  The wife is saying something about responsibility and spending time with the family...  Whatever...

these are the sort of threads the mods should delete  :rant:
