Title: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: axlrosehunny on September 30, 2006, 05:36:58 PM In Edmonton here and I think most of Canada the shows are being promoted by the House of Blues Concerts. I am kinda anoyed at some of the radio spots I have heard...
"This may be your last chance to see Axl Rose." "Hear Axl Rose sing all the classic GNR songs, such as..." Basically they are promoting this as the Axl Rose band and not as Guns N Roses. I think this is just to get in some of the old fans. But I say FUCK THEM. This is Guns N Roses. So is this how they are promoting it in your city? Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: gnrkid03 on September 30, 2006, 05:38:13 PM Meh, mainly on the radio talking about GNR in Baltimore. They do say Slash won't be there which I like. But they don't have anything bad to say about them, at least what I've heard on 98 Rock.

Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: BrokenGlass on September 30, 2006, 05:50:31 PM I was listening to the radio earlier and it there was a commercial type thing announcing the Chinese Democracy World Tour. It was pretty cool, got me excited.
I live in Manitoba, btw. Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: Robman? on September 30, 2006, 06:00:32 PM I'm also a member of Ultimate-guitar.com , under the same name, and when GNR started touring all the comments under their news stories were 90% "New GNR Sucks" and "Axl Rose is an A-Hole", but now that US dates have been announced, the band is doing great, and the album seems eminent, 80% of the comments are postive ones. The general public who knows about GNR think of them more positivley than they did before. Except for the occasional "Axl Roses is dead right?"
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: nesquick on September 30, 2006, 06:02:25 PM Quote Axl Rose is dead right?" lol, I've heard it 1 billion times aswell. It's part of the myth i guess... Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: mdttkk on September 30, 2006, 06:12:57 PM well, this might be my only chance of seeing axl rose since i dont have the money/time to travel to see guns n roses perform elsewhere. 2nd time to edmonton ever for them too
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: King Sand on September 30, 2006, 06:25:14 PM I live in Tampa, FL... Not much on the radio as far as promotion... On our Classic Rock station, they are giving away tickets to the show... Our new rock stations are giving away tickets too, but the DJ's never have anything positive to say about GNR... They mostly rehash the old stories.... And make fun of Axl's braids...
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: crazycanadian on September 30, 2006, 06:44:42 PM The radio station here www.rock106.ca talks about the Concerts Comming to Calgary and about Chinese Democracy comming out before the New Year.One DJ tells everyone that they fired the guy that weres a buket of chicken on his head.Also says there is 50/50 chance GNR shows up. :smoking:
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: BigDeech on September 30, 2006, 06:46:06 PM Its all over the radio stations in NY.
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: Chief on September 30, 2006, 06:51:59 PM well i dont listen to the radio much in LA so i'm not sure about that but i looked on the kroq website and the webmaster is a slacker because they aren't even listed on there yet!!!
and of course its not on KLOS calendar since they love to promote shows like REO speedwagon and foreigner!!! (ironic because they do play GNR and probably have more so than KROQ) http://955klos.com/ConcertCalendar.asp Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: Steel_Angel on September 30, 2006, 06:53:59 PM they dont mention gnr in our city.. which sucks.

They opened for the Cult way back in the 80's : ok: But yeah second time as headliners. Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: -Jack- on September 30, 2006, 07:02:57 PM Nothing in LA yet.
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: Drew on September 30, 2006, 07:06:45 PM There is absolutely no promotion here. And there's good reason why there isn't any.
- No album release date. - No local tour date announcement. Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: Lisa on September 30, 2006, 07:09:47 PM I have only heard one brief blurb on the radio...it was two radio personalities asking each other if GnR was REALLY coming or if their emial was a joke...other then that NOTHING
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: Eclipsed107 on September 30, 2006, 07:10:14 PM I haven't heard anything, but the show I'm going to is almost 100 miles away, I'd assume that they're promoting it in the NYC, Meadowlands NJ area though.

So is this how they are promoting it in your city? Well I don't listen to the radio, primarily because it sucks and most of it is controlled by Clear Channel or similar conglomerates which can frankly go fuck themselves for telling me what I want to listen to. In general GNR does get a lot of airplay in Canada though, especially out west, but even around Toronto I hear them quite a bit on Q107 and 97.7. I think I might have heard them on 102.1 once in my life, but the Edge has pretty much turned to shit anyhow, they were always the alternative station, anti-anything prior to 1990, and after "alternative" died (i.e. no more Nirvana, Alice in Chains, etc.), instead of embracing good shit they embraced whatever garbage was trendy at the given moment (they'll play emo shit over Tool, Pearl Jam, and Audioslave etc. at this point, despite those bands having more listeners and bigger shows). Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: slashBOG on September 30, 2006, 07:53:19 PM I am in west palm , Fl,, Nothing here either, once in a while they play an ad in Big105.9 but that's it, However, a friend of mine that lives in Naples told me that over there the radio station is giving a lot of publicity promoting the concert.. givin away tickets and all.. maybe because it is their 20th birtday on the air.. check out this cool intro to the website www.96kroq.com announcin the concert :peace:
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: BLS-Pride on September 30, 2006, 07:56:20 PM They are having a contest in the NY/NJ area on the radio station 92.3 Free FM which was krock. And my bro heard some adverts for the GnR shows on the same station.

Canada is more rock n' roll than the US no doubt so it doesn't surprise me that the shows might sell better here. I wonder how that statement is gonna go over :rofl: It's just a fact though. If you look at album sales, rock albums tend to chart higher in Canada and seem to debut higher more often as well. Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: axlrosehunny on September 30, 2006, 08:35:24 PM In the USA if you follow chart sales it is mostly now hippy hop and pop music.
There is no real true rock bands left anyways, that sound good, but with an edge. And if there is there so no way for them to get over in the US. MTV is a joke Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: uzisuicide2002 on September 30, 2006, 08:39:01 PM 94 hjy in Providence,RI is playing alot of gn'r. More then they would play a day. : ok:
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: COMAMOTIVE on September 30, 2006, 09:20:55 PM NY is promoting the tour very strongly
Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: damienthetaz on September 30, 2006, 09:24:38 PM Tampa Florida here. The morning classic rock station has a contest every morning, where they give away Gn'R or Carlos Santana tix, most people go with Santana :no:

Social clensing Title: Re: How is the promotion in your city? Post by: axl2 on September 30, 2006, 10:28:49 PM The advertisment about GNR on q104 here in halifax is pretty good. "GNR and Chinese Democracy set to take over the world again" type thing. The one guys does the basic "GNR is not Slash BS that he says everytime Im quite frankly getting sick of BS like that. Yeah man slash was my favorite guitarist and biggest inspiration on the guitar but its been what 10 years since hes left?? GNR continued on without him. Funny why dont i hear ppl saying Guns N Roses isnt Guns N Roses without Trac Guns?? how can u have Guns N Roses without the Guns?....Id also like more respect to izzy. This guy is a HUGE reason the band went down hill. he was a huge talent great ear for music and sounds much like Axl is..but you basically hear squat about it. it doesnt matter if Izzy,Gilby,Alder or Sorum are in the band. But as soon as Slash leaves GNR is dead.
I think its time for this to end. It makes me want the album to just barry everything these fools say. |
