Here Today... Gone To Hell!

First of all, this is not a red hott chillle pepper topic, I dont care if you like them or not! But Tonight they were on my local rock station (actually, they were in a small studio in new york and the show was sindicated), anyway, they had a group of fans there, and they were premiering the new songs off the album which comes out next tuesday. They would play a song (not live), then the dj would ask about the song, what  it meant, etc, etc. I think that would really help axl's album. Remember, although we all anticipate this album, there are way more fans of gnr, who have no idea about the leaks, or the upcoming shows. Just thought it was a good idea, when there is an actual release date.  Your thoughts?

Blood Sugar Sex Magik All the way.

Although their new video is fucking funny.

The reason Guns N' Roses doesn't do things like that is because they don't have to. You're totally correct that it' be a GREAT way to inform the fans as to whats going on. The major difference is that if the Chili Peppers put out an album w/o doing any press almost nobody would notice. If Chinese Democracy released tomorrow it would be on stations like CNN just because it finally happened.

i like it. ?hopefully axl does too. but then again maybe it should just be kept secretive and mysterious so that when we finally do open up CD and put it in our stereos, we find out for ourselves what we think of the songs and come up with our own ideas about them. ?then maybe he can tell us the story behind everything the past 10 years and the songs by releasing a making of dvd. ?im very curious as to what happened (as im sure many others are) and i think it would sell very well. ?who wouldnt want to get in axls head? ?plus there would be so much going on, and it would kick way more ass than metallicas movie. ?just a thought. ?prob wont happen. ?but yeah on topic i think it would be very cool of axl to preview his songs and explain them on a radio show. ?im betting that if he doesnt do that hes at least gonna do an extensive interview with rolling stone chronicling the past few years and explaining a few key tracks, if not all of them.

I agree 100%. I think that when the time is right we'll get FLOODED with info from the man himself.

Uhhh dude, don't know if you've been living under a rock the past 13 years, but ever since BSSM....they've pretty much been one of the mainstream rock acts especially since 1999.   Their fan base is pretty huge so I don't think "nobody would notice".

the new cd, "stadium arcadium", is pretty good by the way.  i've given it a once-over and i like it.

Stadium Arcadium ROCKS!  It is the best the chili's have ever done.

:rofl:

Kind of like how nobody noticed when GNR toured the US?

Yeap!!! The album is very good. I like it a lot.

If the red hot chili peppers jumped off a bridge, should gnr do it too?

you mean, Guns N'Roses would rip off Tom Petty's songs ?  :hihi:

Yeah I'm wicked excited for the new Chili Peppers album. I had heard Dani California and liked it a lot, but after hearing more songs last night on the radio, I want to get the record. But its gonna have to wait until after May 14 when I see GN'R in New York, thats way more important.

yeah it takes a little while to swallow - as there are 28 songs on the cd.  but i think it's a very good and musically complex record for them.  some songs are a little remniscent of by the way or californication while others are defnitely more funk-driven like bssm.  however, they also incorporate a lot of really cool melodies in the songs as well.  i was a little worried that there would be too much filler included in the double-disc set - but that's really not the case.  a lot of gems on the album if you ask me.  also the production kicks ass.  rick rubin knows was he's doing.

Some of you people live in a fucking fantasy world.  ::)

and RHCP will be on RiR too, but not it the same day... I would if the tickets weren?t so expensive, but I?ve went to a concert of them and they sure kick ass, i loved it! :peace:

it's the best album i've heard in years. double album without filler.

Yeah, CNN is a bit of a stretch. It will make alot of news, but ONLY because it's been 10+ years in the making!!

If Chili Peppers or Pearl Jam hadn't released an album since BSSM or Ten respectively yet released an album this year I'm sure it make big news.. Of course, it probably wouldn't be major news on CNN, but news nonetheless.

everyone should!

I didn't say that it would make CNN because it was a GNR record, and you pretty much made my point for me. This is the first record for GNR in over ten years so they don't have to do the type of promotion RHCO would.

rhcp kicks ass! Would be cool if GNR toured with them on a doubble bill : ok:

OK, I was only trying to clarify : ok:

I'm going to see both RHCP and GNR this summer. Can't wait!  : ok:

Oh I see, ALL other bands tour & make music, so to be different, gnr dont!

What ever!!!!!

Ive heard about 5-6 songs off of Stadium Arcadium and im fairly unimpressed. I can't stand the guitar solos (whats up with the horrible effect they use on "Torture Me" and "Dani California"? sounds like a cat on a chalkboard) and the rest is just standard RHCP. boring

a new album, thats news to me. Good!  :beer:

I only started liking the Chillie's when By the Way came out, then i picked Californication, Blood, Suger, Sex and Mothers Milk, all good!

I think they would have to do more. What do you think Axl is out there doing now, being photographed at all those parties? That certainly insn't a coincidence. And I know this sounds crazy, but outside of the hardcore GnR fans that hang out on these boards, the casual music fan doesn't really give a shit about the new GnR record. For the most part, outside of these hallowed forums most people seem to view Axl and the current GnR as a bit of a joke. Axl has to work extra hard to convince these people that he means business. The Chili Peppers have been consisently putting out chart topping albums the entire time Axl and Co. have been away and outside of the usual amount of press a band with a new record has to do they probably aren't going to have to work very hard to be on top of that charts again this time around.

All those pictures being taken actually prove my point. Axl doesn't need to do anything except just show up in public and people are on it.

They really could release this album at midnight tonight and it would be a #1 album next week with no press whatsoever.

It helps to make sure you are places where the press is already in the house for something else (ie: Korns record release or the Sopranos premeir party).  ;) 'Oh look there's Axl Rose, it sure is interesting that he just showed up to this high profile event after being in near seclusion for the last 3 years....'  ::) Please...

He is hardly 'just showing up in public'. Don't be naive.

If it were Anthony Keidis they still would have taken pictures.

So you're telling me that Anthony Keidis is never out in public then or at any events like this? And if not, does that make him in seclusion as well??

dude, the thing is, axl doesn't have to do shit to promote chinese democracy... it's already hit mythical status, and i don't think it's a streach to say that the casual rock fan has heard of chinese democracy...  the thing is, the lack of promotion IS the promotion... Pearl Jam did the same thing when they released vs.  There was absolutely no promotion for that album whatsoever and it sold 950,000 copies in the first week, breaking the record (later defeated by.... N'SYNC... i feel like slitting my wrists just thinking about that)...  If chinese democracy is released, i think the music will speak for itself (example = IRS being played in heavy rotation as a leak)...  the chilis are cool and all, and def one of the best rock bands in the last 20 years, but axl doesn't need to do radio interviews (although he has supposedly scheduled to give interviews to NYC stations and other press between the 4 shows at Hammerstein)... I would be bummed if he started "selling out," just to sell more copies... just to reiterate, the music will speak for itself, and who gives a fat fuck if the 15 year old deuchebag on my block thinks GN'R is cool...

Nice. Good point.

I'm willing to bet Axl's label cares. 15 year old douchebags are impressionable and buy cds.

This little world we live in (Online GnR community) notices Axl appearances alot more than the average rock fan. I have freinds that are casual fans of the band, who if not for me, wouldn't know a thing about him showing up at these different little spots.

Unless you are a huge fan of NY's page six, Norms Las Vegas Confidential, or are constantly scanning Google News every hour on the hour for Axl Rose news... these story's weren't basic public knowledge.

I'm sure all of the members of "Here Today Under the Bridge" an unofficial Red Hot Chilli Peppers site, notice Anthony and Flea's every movement. I think they even have a tally of how many trips flea makes to Steak and Shake durring an average week.

Indeed. And Axl doesn't have anything to prove. At least, that's how I look at it. I'm just here waiting to enjoy my favorite band's new album. And hoping to see them perform at Nijmegen, that's all realy.

 

I agree, but the point the poster was trying to make was that Axl went out of his way to show up at the Sopranos & Korn things because he wants to get noticed. My point is that I'm sure Axl does want he wants to do. I don't think he needs to go anywhere to get noticed. While these sightings may have only shown up in these boards and places like them, the fact is when the album comes out the news will be EVERYWHERE.

Hell yeah Hillel


record for one  year and have 38 brilliant songs.


I wish all bands were this prolific

Go Mr. Bungle! - Fuck The Red Hot Junkie Peppers!

Im sure Axl will do radio interviews.

Thats gonna be some of the most fun outside hearing the CD that is all his interviews in the magazines.

Getting the scoop on what all has happened over the last decade.


Man imagine a Some Kind Of Monster Type movie involving GNR. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Lol...

Week one: Footage of the engineers waiting for Axl. He never shows.
Week two: Footage of the engineers waiting for Axl. He never shows.
Week three: Footage of the engineers waiting for Axl. He never shows. Million dollar piano delivered to studio.
Week four: Footage of the engineers waiting for Axl. He never shows. Chicken coop installed.
Week five: Footage of the engineers waiting for Axl. Axl shows, demos part of IRS. Fires engineers.

And so on...  :hihi:

* ps: I'm kidding, don't get  your panties in a bunch.

That is funny :hihi:  Thats what would happen :hihi:
