Here Today... Gone To Hell!

It's AOL Radio's Twitter Request Day and starting at noon ET, any song that anyone requests on Twitter will go on a Twitter Radio station (launching tomorrow). If we have it, we'll play it. All anybody needs to do is tweet: Artist/Band, Song Title  #aolradiorequest
 
If you simply have a Twitter account, all I hope for you to do is simply make a song request between noon and midnight tonight using the format I mentioned earlier.



It seems simple enough to get the new GN'R tracks heard on AOL radio.



Thanks Chris for the heads up.

Pittman?

As far as I know, Chris is a pretty common first name.....



/jarmo

That means I finally have to make a twitter d?but . 

strangely it says I'm already following 50ish peeps and being followed by a few. I don't get it.  :hihi:

FYI:

Chris Pitman from Guns N' Roses and Sextapes

ON TOPIC:  I've never used Twitter.  Is there a way to put in requests without having an account yourself?  Like through an AOL twitter page or something??  ???

Just requested There Was a Time

Quick, people quick!

http://www.aolradioblog.com/2009/06/09/aol-radio-all-tweet-song-request-radio-station/

"Today (Wed. June 10th) from 12 pm ET until midnight ET, announce your request by tweeting the artist/band name, song title and hashtagging it with #aolradiorequest


Examples
Madonna, "Like a Prayer" #aolradiorequest
Led Zeppelin, "Stairway to Heaven" #aolradiorequest

Request as many songs as you want during the time window tomorrow. If we have it, we'll add it to the Tweet Request station on aolradio.com starting tomorrow, June 11th, for one week!"

ooops correction

Examples

Guns N Roses, "Scraped" #aolradiorequest
GN'R, "Better" #aolradiorequest

am i right in twittering as such to https://twitter.com/aolradio  ???

Requested TWAT and This I Love

you can check if you're heard.

http://wbx.me/l/?p=1&u=http://search.twitter.com/search%3Fq%3D%2523aolradiorequest%2B-RT%2B-hashtag%2B-tomchau

people lets twitter!

wish people would concentrate on CD songs. we hear the old stuff on the radio a bunch anyway.


lets get some CD songs on there.

seriously, all it takes is for a few thousand to hear one song they like and it could start something.

GNR fans, unite now and Spread the word and chinese democracy!

You're worth more than they tell you!

See the subject?

 ;)



/jarmo

aolradio:Most requested bands now: 3OH!3, Cash Cash, Collective Soul, David Cook, Michael Johns, Cobra Starship. Seeing a lot for Guns NRoses too

less than 20 seconds ago from TweetDeck
 ;D

my fault, I was commenting on requests that were coming in. A lot of the requests are for Jungle, Scom, YCBM etc on the AOL thing and I wish those people would concentrate on CD songs.

agree, the CD songs need more exposure.   

I'm going to do Shackler's Revenge and Prostitute

You can't expect every GN'R fan to try to promote the latest album. Just look around at some of the people on these forums....


Anyway, those who truly love GN'R will get the idea why you should request the new songs at this point.



/jarmo

you can request as many songs you want. until midnight ET
Of course I gonna end up requesting every cd song.

so far Ive requested

Twat,Scraped,madagascar,this I love


gonna go with Catcher and Sorry next


I'm not gonna request CD or Better since they were already singles.

I've requested sorry.. I think, not sure  :P

checki @ here
http://wbx.me/l/?p=1&u=http://search.twitter.com/search%3Fq%3D%2523aolradiorequest%2B-RT%2B-hashtag%2B-tomchau

you can request more cd songs.

Kinda cool searching in twitter for "guns roses #aolradiorequest" and seeing all the GNR-request  coming in.....  :beer:

Or maybe I'm just bored   :-\

PS: Happymaniac and Mack Arillo has been very busy!   : ok:

I've requested Shackler's & This I Love so far. I'll keep requesting songs till the deadline. This is great!

Yeah, do I have to join twitter to play along?  Because I'm not on there.

come on faldor don't be lazy it's as easy as abc it took me less than posting this.

Done! Requested Better and Riad! :D

is this option only for today or is this a permanent feature?

I'll do it when I get home, I've been looking for an excuse to join twitter anyway.  This is as good as it gets I'd say.

And I believe it's only for tonight until midnight rabia.  The songs get played tomorrow.  I won't be listening to AOL radio, so somebody better, and keep track to see if our hard work paid off.

Done!

Requested Madagascar, Rhiad, SOD and Catcher

thanks faldor.

i joined twitter just for this. :) seems to be there's loads of david cook and collective soul fans twittering with a great sense of mission right now. maybe we can give them a run for their money.

I just joined, but how exactly does this work?  I'm twitter illiterate.  Where do I post my requests?  Do I just type it in the "what are you doing?" box?

I hope that's right, cuz that's what I'm doing.  I don't want to look like an idiot in the twitter community.  Ah, what the F do I care?

Should we all narrow down our selections and focus on just a few songs?  Or just go nuts and request'em all, or nearly all?

Yes




/jarmo

i think it makes sense to narrow it down. increases our chances of getting those songs played rather than spreading ourselves too thin.

which ones do we want to focus on then? i suggest There was a Time and Sorry.

I agree, we should probably come to a consensus.  Those two sound good to me.  Although you could've named any 2 songs and they would've sounded good to me.   ;)

looks to me like This I Love is a popular choice too. lets go for that one too.

its not my fav song on the album but whatever the public wants. hehe.

Yeah, probably should throw a ballad in there.  Either that or "Street of Dreams".  But yeah, "This I Love" seems to be the more popular choice.

I think we have a few more hours to keep requesting.

Keep going. :D




/jarmo

aolradioAll the requests you made today will be played on the Tweet Requests station on aolradio.com. Most requested songs will play more often
4 minutes ago from TweetDeck




Just over an hour left to request.  If they're going to play ALL the requests, this will go on for days, and they'll play ALL of CD.

Damn, just saw this. Anything get played from our beloved Chi Dem yet?

how the fuck are we going to lose to Collective Soul fans?

are u serious?

I honestly didn't have a clue that Collective Soul had such a huge following.

They don't have to have a huge following. Just fans that give a fuck.


I'm not trying to insult anybody, but in my opinion, you shouldn't expect a lot of GN'R fans to be constructive.


Seen it all before. Anything positive/constructive gets ignored by these people, or if they comment it's to ridicule the idea/those that support it.





/jarmo

That really sucks

we probably should've concentrated on ONE song and requested the hell out of it

I think where we were requesting different songs we lost out.

Another constructive thread gets less posts and none from certain posters (who are happy to point out what GN'R did wrong over and over again).

Amusing....





/jarmo

I don't necessarily think so. we could twitter as many songs as we wanted.

the Aolradio dude said that they'd play all the requested songs except the ones they don't have.  

plus
"If any1 questions if someone really requested a song, use search.twitter.com and type in "#aolradiorequest [artist name]" :)"
see how many peeps are on it.

it was fun anyway. Thanks to the fellow fans that participated in the game.  :beer:

Thanks to all the real supportive fans who took time out to try to do something instead of whining about shit day in and day out.

You rock!  :beer:

And if you don't have a Twitter account but still support the band, you rock too. ;)




/jarmo

I voted till i fell asleep and tried to pass the word to a bunch others who Im not sure if they voted or not and Journey voted all the way till midnight.

I'm listening to the twitter requests radio right now.
http://player.play.it/player/aolPlayer.html?v=4.5.23&ur=1&us=1&id=16929

when any song off cd gets an airplay I'm sure it will turn on Collective Soul fans or whoever with ears.

 
great :beer:

Prostitue!!!!!!

So they played it?  8)



/jarmo

finishing right now.

and it's so beautiful

Ow, what a shame.. I missed it. :(

Listening to it too, hopefully they'll play Riad! :D

I'm sure they will!

BTW for the first time Im listening to cash cash.  :hihi:

Prostitute again!!! :D

Fuckin BETTER now!

you should have known we're crazy  ;D

the aolradio dude says:

You GNR fans got a lot of songs on the station
32 minutes ago
 ;D

I tell u this

GNR should b proud of their fans.

we are gonna push this fuckin album

prostitute again!  :D
Oh I got a message for you...
I'm just proud of the band....for the beautiful songs

And thank you the aolradio dude! You so fair.

It doesn't always take a lot of effort....

I think it's safe to say that thanks to these request, people who haven't heard any of the new songs will be exposed to at least some of them.



Thanks again to everybody who helped out.  : ok:



/jarmo

Collective Soul fans will definately dig the CD songs.

I signed up last night and requested up till midnight.  I listened to the first couple songs but haven't had a chance since.  Nice to hear our hard work paid off.  Anyway, I got an e-mail today telling me that Collective Soul is following ME.  I didn't ask for that.  Apparently they're the kings of Twitter.  Maybe they send out mass "followings" when new users sign up and that's why so many people voted for them.  Or whoever's in charge of their Twitter was very busy yesterday.

yea i saw you faldor good job but it wasn't hard work at all was it? 
Collective Soul is NOT following me so you should feel special.  :P

to the people who were late, the aol dute says

"FYI, we ARE going to do another Twitter Request Day...but I need some time to breathe from this past one..."

and listen to it here http://player.play.it/player/aolPlayer.html?v=4.5.23&ur=1&us=1&id=16929
you can even rate the song!

Damn it!  I slept most of the day and went to a Dodgers game right after!

Just glad that a lot of the requests went through!  Great job to everyone who made a request.  :beer:

damn, I wanted to vote :(
but I don't have an account and I am a twitter illiterate...  :-\

So, how many songs got played? I saw people say prostitute twice and Better.
Anything else?

I just turned on the station, and the first song I hear is 'Never Gonna Give You Up'.

FML.

theyre playing Better right now.


sounds soo good. as usual. :)

Would've requested if I had any clue how but I don't know how to Twitter

Prostitute playing right now.  : ok:

Wow, maybe it's just a coincidence at when people are catching the songs but "Prostitute" seems to be the leader of the GNR songs so far.

Riad is on right now.  SWEET!!!  Turned it on and 3 songs later, bam!

http://player.play.it/player/aolPlayer.html?v=4.5.23&ur=1&us=1&id=16929

Very cool to see that the effort paid off!!   :beer:

They are playing TWAT now!!!!!!

I'm impressed they played prostitute so much  :o

It's great that these songs are getting some exposure. I'd never thought we would be listening to Prostitute and Fucking Rhiad on radio!!  : ok:



You just need to open a twitter account. It'll take you 30 seconds...once you've opened it, you just basically need to type on the What are you doing box
Guns N' Roses, "song title goes here" and #aolradiorequest. You can do that as many times as you want.

They're not taking anymore requests at the moment, but they say they will sometime in the future.  A bunch of fans of other artists were a day late in trying to get their requests in.  Luckily we made the deadline.

 :D

A station that actually plays requests.  8)



/jarmo

when they do this again, I am going to go around to all GNR sites and post with instructions how to do it and will get my MMA forum to request as well. : ok:

aint that the truth...

nothing like calling a radio station requesting Better and 2 hours later they play fukin WTTJ or something.

me too got rick rolled several times.  :hihi:


refreshing to hear them on the radio isn't it? 

so far I heard prostitute better street of dreams. I seem to have missed twat and riad.

I believe All CD tracks will be eventually played cos they were requested.

because the station says they will go on playing the requested songs live until Thursday, June 18.

listen in.

shackler's! :D

I wonder how many listeners AOL Radio has?

i was wondering about the same thing.

i caught Better earlier and Prostitute is on right now. i thought there were more requests for This I Love and There Was a Time but i guess not.

DAMN Damn Damn, I'm always a day late and a dollar short! Hope I don't miss it next time. I'll join Twitter now just so I can promote CD next time they do this.

good preparation. :yes:

lets support our democracy.

and please follow aolradio http://twitter.com/aolradio cos the station actually plays our requests.

.

They are going to have another soon

I went and ran my mouth and told them that GNR will contend this time


so let's get this shit organized and get to the top.

I'm getting a Twitter, but sorry guys, I won't be posting any updates regarding my bowel movements or who I will be hanging out with.

D, I've got your back!

Do other boards know about this?  Since we are always winning meaningless polls in Iceland and Djibouti (no offense to Icelanders and Djiboutans) I don't see how we can't win this thing!

Organize!

Gonna try to get a couple forums i post on to do this

I am gonna text a song every few seconds for hours


I was too polite last time but I am gonna let the request whoring begin

that would be awesome. we need to pounce the next time they open the requests. ;D

maybe we should decide on a narrowed down list of CD songs concentrating on 2-3 at most. they said that every song that was requested will be played but so far I've only come across Better and Prostitute and nobody has reported hearing This I Love or Madagascar or Scraped even though they were requested too. those that were requested a lot like that kris allen no boundaries song or that other American Idol winner guy's song are played over and over.

if we can get a CD song up in that most requested list, we will plant it firmly in a few people's heads.

hey, Scraped is on! ;D

i hope people are listening in to this request radio. we made it work!

Twitter account ready for next time!!
Just need an explanation on how to request before that day comes.

 ;D

last time, we just had to type Guns N Roses, "a song title", #aolradiorequest in the bubble undernieth "What are you doing?" at the top of your page. As they said they were airing it live till the18th, better stay tuned for the next request day perhaps. Following the aolradio dude is recommended.

I missed it. :(

So far prostitute (quite frequent), better Chinese Democracy shacklers street of dreams Madagascar twat rhad and scraped have been played.
Boy, aren't they all great single materials? Even 6 min+ long prostitute feels rather short when actually aired.

I'm tuning in to it as much as i can. skipping heavily rotating songs as much as I can. lest I should hear 'do the helen kella' in my dream. :nervous:

i didnt know that Chinese Democracy and Madagascar had also been played. did they play the film samples and speech parts from Maddy?

seeing as Prostitute and Better got a very good run this time, we should leave those two songs out the next time the requests open.

aolradioRemember: Tweet Request Day 2 happening Tues. 7/21. Details will be posted on aolradioblog.com this Thurs. 7/16 incl. new rules and times
34 minutes ago from TweetDeck

new rules


are you telling gnr fans what to do? :hihi:

it was the album version.

I am telling u guys right now

we need to have a poll on here and go to all the sites and have a poll

and whatever song wins, we all request like hell

We sort of defeat ourselves by requesting 14 different songs

we should concentrate on one like Prostitute or something and make that the one everyone votes for and I guarantee we could push it into the top spot or at least top 5.

hehe! no ppbebe, im just proposing a plan of action.

i suggest that we leave Prostitute and Better out as they got exposure last time. i imagine that the same fansites that received info of this request oppurtunity last time will hear of it again this time and many of the same people would request again and then tune in again.

theyve been acquainted with Prostitute and Better so this is our chance to acquaint them to other songs from CD this time.

i think we should go for 2 songs so that we concentrate our numbers. every requested song is supposed to be played so even if we cant get both in the most played list, the other will still get circulation.

i would propose There Was a Time and This I Love. i think both have instant commercial appeal though i dont know if TWAT's length would put it at a disadvantage in terms of number of plays given.

I think TWAT and TIL are good choices, maybe If The World.  TWAT is around the same length as Prostitute unless they cut out the instrumental outro in that song.  I don't think length would be a problem.  I agree though, I think we should narrow our focus down.  We'll have to see what their "new rules" are too.

If The World is the best song for this by far.  It's catchy, will appeal to the widest audience base, will surprise people, there is nothing out there like it, yet it could still be played on pop stations.  And it rocks hard.

lets leave them as suggestions because i don't think gnr fans like to be bossed about by fellow fans.  :P

and we gotta pay heed to the new rules. maybe this time they are gonna count out repeated requests for a song from a twitter account.

Very wise.   : ok:

If The World is one of my favorite songs off CD but the danger is that people just start saying "oh, that doesnt sound like GNRRRRR" and not give it a chance.

We managed to get multiple GN'R songs played last time.  8)

I don't see why we couldn't get GN'R played on it again....



/jarmo

Noted.

It'll be a good idea to narrow the selection down to 3-4 tunes. If GNR releases a new single, I believe it'll be SOD. That's a radio friendly song, cacthy chorus, great solo...There's been two singles; CD and Better. Time now for a ballad type of song. TIL could also be a good choice.

Off topic, there's a reality show here in spanish tv called Fama "Fame". It's like American Idol but contestants must dance instead. Then the audience decides who gets kicked out of the show once the jury has nomnated a few...To cut a long story short, my girlfriend (an avid fan) told me a few months ago she had heard "Better" in the show. They used the song to elaborate a choreography. I thought she must heard wrong so I really didn't bother...but  last week, I was changing channels and there it was, the same show "Fame", different coreography dancing to "Sorry". I thought that was fucking awesome. Nothing really extraordinary, but it's cool they chose two GNR songs in the same show. One of those dance teachers must really be a fan  8)

http://www.aolradioblog.com/2009/07/17/aol-radios-all-request-station-tues-july-21st/

It's back by popular demand!

On June 10th, thousands of people participated in our first radio station programmed entirely by our fans. The response was overwhelming and we received thousands of requests in a 12 hour period.

This Tuesday, July 21 from 12 pm ET to 7 pm ET, fans will once again be able to request their favorite songs using Twitter to be played on our "All Request" radio station, which will launch at midnight, July 22nd on http://www.aolradio.com. If the song is in our library, we WILL put it in the playlist. The station will be available on AOL Radio for one week.

As before, to request a song on Tuesday you must tweet publically the artist name, song title and hashtag it with #aolradiorequest:


Artist Name, Song Title #aolradiorequest
(example: Daughtry, No Surprise, #aolradiorequest)

You can request as many songs as you'd like, or request the same song over and over during the time period. All tweet requests MUST be in your public feed. No replies to @aolradio or direct messages (DMs) will be accepted.
Last time, Michael Johns, Collective Soul and David Cook fans prevailed. Which bands will get the most requests this time? Remember: The more votes a song gets, the more often it will be played on the station.

We look forward to your requests (and playing them) next week!

Looks like we've got our work cut out for us.

aolradioLooks like the Michael Johns and David Cook fans will try to dominate again tomorrow...will any other bands' fans step up?
about 3 hours ago from TweetDeck

Tomorrow's Twitter Request Day (re: who will get the most requests)

Seems like Collective Soul, The Script and David Archuleta fans are taking the challenge too...should be interesting tomorrow!
about 3 hours ago from TweetDeck

Wondering which new band fans will emerge as well...

But remember: You don't have to rally around one band or song...we received hundreds of song requests last time and put them all in...
about 2 hours ago from TweetDeck

So request whatever you like, as many times as you'd like. As long as it's from 12 to 7 pm ET
about 2 hours ago from TweetDeck

We're not taking requests until Noon Eastern Time tomorrow. At Noon, tweet your request as follows: Artist, Song Title #aolradiorequest
about 2 hours ago from TweetDeck

how do we know whether the entire album Chinese Democracy is in their library or not? we requested TIL a lot last time but it didnt get played. you would imagine they'll have the whole album.

confusing!

Cool.

Just need to figure out what time it will be here in Brazil when it starts.
 :hihi:

It starts in a little over 2 hours.  2 hours and 20 minutes to be exact.

^^^^
Ok, thanks!

So, have we decided on asking for just 3 or 4 songs over and over, or can I ask every single one over and over?

=)

You can ask every single one if you want.  Some are of the opinion that it might be best to just focus on a few specific songs but I don't think we ever came to a consensus.  Any new Guns will do I'd say.  They seem to be tracking which bands have the most votes, not specific songs.

Ok then, see you in an hour or so.
 :)

30 mins to go

People, get ready to Tweet
GNR, a song title #aolradiorequest.
Example :Guns N Roses, this i love #aolradiorequest

each tweet should be for one song and the artist.

aolradio says Request as many songs, as many times as you want. More votes a song gets, more often it will play. Get your friends & fans involved.6 minutes ago from TweetDeck

wonder if other boards know this...if not please tell them. the more the merrier.

Not that i'm certain but I think they played it.

I don't think they'd get the 13 songs off itune when they could get  the album of 14 songs.

Just started.

I requested: Guns N' Roses, Riad N' The Bedouins #aolradiorequest

Let's go!





/jarmo

Seems like David Cook fans are more enthusiastic:

http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23aolradiorequest

just requested 5 songs  :P

i've reached my limit of twittering for the hour.  :rant:
i'm haveing a break.

C'mon people!

I voted twice for SOD and once for TIL.

I voted once for every single song off CD.

=)

I?ll be back

I'm at work right now, but I'll try and request here and there when I get a moment.

I still think we should pick ONE song and pimp it.

if we all request different songs, nothing is going to be in the top 10

I voted for the songs which could be potential singles.

TIL and SOD are ballads, I'd recommend stick to those two. Maybe add Prostitute too...

Agreed!

I've requested a bunch already. But I'll do some more and stick to TIL, SOD and Prostitute....   :)

Just got back from my vacation, when does the request end?

i say scraped sorry and catcher but i just hope more gnr fans participate in this and  tweet to the max.
I just exceeded my hourly limit again.  :hihi:

I started a thread on mygnr with instructions on how to vote.

cheers D.

Also went over to chinesedemocracy.com and started a thread. : ok:

any other big sites?

newgnr, evolution syndicate...

and to the people who aren't quick in typing, cut and paste a line to tweet

4 hours to go!

I've been focusing on 3 songs This I Love, Street of Dreams, and If The World, and sprinkling in the others from time to time.

aolradio just tweeted that GNR is among the most requested bands.  Keep up the good work!

Im not seeing any of mine..................

I just voted Prostitute like 20 straight times but when i go to #aolradiorequest

I dont see any

can u guys see them

DonnieHoward is my name

From what i can tell Twitter doesn't count repeat posts exactly the same. This may be why you aren't seeing those specific posts.

You are better off to pick at least two songs and switch it up every post.

i kept requesting as fantheflames but nothing seemed to go through se i just made another account.

thanks a lot for typing out the songs, ppbebe. makes it easy to copy and paste.

Yes, those are my picks too  ;D

pleasure. After 2 hours, I still can't tweet. fellow fans are my hope. please put up good fights.


Search twitter for 'guns roses #aolradiorequest'

i think you'll need to go into your account and empty your "updates" one by one. i think 60 is the limit. once you reach it, you cant tweet any more.
when you delete them, youll be ready to go again.

It sadens me to see that so many people like crappy artists.

oO

Somebody asked for Billie Jean, from David Cook. Really? REALLY?
If you' re gonna listen to Billie Jean, please do it the right way.  :rant:

I?m sorry, I'm pissed. I really loved MJ.


But people, I'm gonna have to leave... and where i?m going there are no computers and no internet, so, unfortunately, I?m done for the day
=(

I hope we get some songs in there.
I did my best

i tried deleting some of my updates but to no avail. thanks anyway.

try logging out and then back in. if that doesnt work either then i guess we're out of options.

we're into the final hour people. lets make the best of it.

I just logged into my girlfriend's twitter and requested a bunch more since mine stopped workin

I usually try not to talk ill towards anybody but I am very fucking disappointed in other "GNR" websites.

I posted this and nobody cared. one even accused me of spamming.

Damn cd.com, no one has even logged in all day


sad

Too bad we couldn't get much participation from other sites.....    :no: 

http://www.aolradioblog.com/2009/07/21/most-requested-songs-all-request-station/

Next time we REALLY should focus on ONE or TWO songs. Seems like that's the way to go to make it into the top 10.

GNR isn't even mentioned as "other notable vote getters".... 

EDIT: just noticed that aolradio tweeted that GNR is among the "runner ups" and will be played in medium rotation....  So looks like we did scratch the surface! Cool!!   : ok:

Will be interesting to see what will happen next time if we can agree on one or two songs.....    ;)

Problem is (and I found myself doing the same) I have a feeling we are not getting enough people to vote. GNR maybe getting enough requests as a whole cause the ones who are requesting are doing it so 6 or 7 times each. If all of us are doing the same, obviously there won't be a song in particular that really stands out from the rest.

Some poster said you can't tweet the same song twice? I voted for SOD twice and I don't know if aol counted both requests or just one.

I think we should be certain about how many times we can request the same song first and then...we can decide which song to request.

We all have our personal favorite songs from CD. Mine are Madagascar, Shackler's and Rhiad these days, but I don't feel neither could be single potential, whereas SOD or TIL are. Songs like Scraped, If the World, Rhiad are also songs that could be considered, but if GNR releases another single, What song could possibly get the most airplay and/or exposure? In my opinion, it has to be a ballad. We've had two singles, both rockers. Time for a ballad now.

We could also have a poll running to see what song should get the most requests..

Agreed!

TIL is most likely the song that has the potential of catching people's ears...

I just got back from a long drive to the north of Norway. Me and my girlfriend drove with her sister. I brought CD along for the ride. My "sister in law" is not exactly a rock fan. When I put CD in the stereo, she was like:"Oh, here comes the screamer!" (not an Axl Rose-fan!) But when TIL came on, she commented that she REALLY liked that song. When it was done she actually skipped back to hear it one more time....   :)

So regardless of our personal preferences, it would be cool if could focus on one or two songs that has the potential of being a hit among "none-rock-fans"

Would be fun if we could have poll, to deicide this.....   :yes:

Cook got more than the 3 songs on the top ten but they were omitted because the radio has a limit par an artist..

http://search.twitter.com/search?max_id=2777289148&page=100&q=david+cook+%23aolradiorequest

with 15 requests per page they got 100pages we got 44pages. We were outnumbered.

still not a bad result to get the whole album in medium rotation.

It is a real thrill of being on a fan board to stand for what you really like with other fans.

i personally had a great fun again thanks to the board mates, aoldude and everyone who participated.   :peace:
And special thanks to those fanatics who challenged their update limits at twitter.  :hihi: thinnerlizzy  ratB  and some others you're so splendidly crazy.  : ok:

sorry d for sorta having wished the displeasing mission on you. There're many dull meanies but i don't think it was a flatout fruitless call. some people must have seen your post at there and quietly tweeted. or they will next time. i admire your selfless deed.

Well that was fun, it feels good to support my favorite band in any way possible.

Cheers to everyone who participated. Let there be better results next time!

yep next time please tell that to those who didn't participate.  : ok:

prostitute is played.

It was the same 7 or 8 people requesting over and over..... so I don't know how they count that.

I just hate people's attitudes

Axl don't care so why should we........

that to me is such bullshit.

As far as the internet goes, GNR have the worst fanbase by far IMO

Had I posted that link on a Bon Jovi forum, I guarantee u Bon Jovi would've easily been one of the top vote getters.

there was a time is on now tugging at my heartstrings.

haha! i tried requesting with my previous twitter account which i made the last time these requests were open but nothing went through so i made the thiner lizzy one. if this happens every month i might end up with a whole bunch of twitter accounts.  :hihi:

what i suggest to anybody who has some time on their hands the next time AOL does this thing, just go for it. there's no penalty for requesting over and over so no need to be mature and restrained. D, you deserve praise for posting this info on other sites but if there's not too many of us GNR fans requesting then we have to maximize what we can do with the few of us here.

what i noticed was that when i alternated the same 2 songs, i felt that some of my tweets didnt go through. so i ended up expanding the number of songs that i was focusing on.

Prostitute just played. hope they pay close attention to the requests insteaad of just playing Better and Prostitute as a symbol of all GNR requests. the whole album deserves to be played.

Yeah, I ended up messing up and voted Prostitute like 200 times but where it was consecutive, most of them didn't show up

so next time, I know to alternate.

I'm going to alternate Shackler's,TWAT,TIL and Prostitute as they are in my opinion the  most commercial songs.

I heard Prostitute, There Was a Time and This I Love today. :)

Listened for about 5 hours yesterday. Heard There Was A Time, and Prostitute once each within that time frame.

oy oy, d you said the exact opposite some pages ago. :hihi:

na not just the same 7/8 peeps but i assume around 40ish gnr fans tweeted. finding time to make a few requests although busy. A tweet or many pages of tweets, everyone's contribution was appreciated by me.  :beer:
(Still rabia, you won my applause. :o  i should have known your crazy. )

And D your messaging wasn't in vain. I went to the two forums to see new positive responses to your threads. They heard you and took part. A Big Laugh at the ass (or mares) besmirching the places. You showed class.

if you see your requests on your profile and not on the link i posted, i guess you left out a letter or 2 of #aolradiorequest. i did that last time. 'aolradioreques' :hihi:

otherwise you reached to your hourly limit of twitter updates.

hehe! yeah i was singing "Youre Crazy" and pointing to myself the entire time I was tweeting.  :hihi:

i heard There Was a Time today.

i was listening to better when i posted that.  ;D

i've heard Better prostitute and there was a time 3 times so far.

i heard If the World and Scraped today, once each.

Playing "Sorry" right now.

http://player.play.it/player/aolPlayer.html?v=4.5.23&ur=1&us=1&id=16929

also heard Prostitute today.

in GNR related note, they also played Stuck Inside from Angel Down and Life is Beautiful.

Chinese Democracy is on, or was on, I paused it for a bit, but I'm listening to it now.

i caught catcher in the rye, prostitute and there was a time yesterday.

This I Love was played earlier and Street of Dreams is on right now. :)

i think spreading ourselves too thin by requesting the entire album hurts us. you would have to listen for 5 hours straight to get 2 GNR songs while most people arent going to stick around after an hour or two. if they play Catcher or something at 5 o clock at night once during the week, how many people are going to hear it? they say that they play every requested song but it seems to me that the frequency of CD songs has gone down this time rather than up.

as opposed to this, the top ten requests like David Cook etc are played so often you just cant get away from them. thats what we need to shoot for next time - getting into the top ten.

Exactly.

Next time we hear news about AOL doing this again, we should run a poll for a few days to decide on which song we need to request. It may not be our favorite, but as Rabia said, people will hear that song over and over again.

Yeah, I've checked in from time to time and haven't heard a repeat GNR song but always hear the same songs from David Archuleta, David Cook, and some song from The Script, something about a Man.  I turn down the volume when those songs come on, but they play them quite frequently.  So I agree, we should run a poll.  Focus on 2 or 3 songs.  IS there a limit on tweets per hour like someone was saying?  And if so, do they let you know when you reach that limit?

yes they did say so i don't know exactly how many updates but i'm guessing 60ish like rabia said.


rabia, since you made 20 pages out of the 44, and every cd song got at least a few pages of request, you could have pushed a song to the top ten.  ;) cooks come back home got 45 pages and no1.

it's all voluntary it's a good idea for the forums to decide what song/few songs to push heavily but people should be free to tweet for other songs as well.

i personally love just every song on cd so whatever we decided i'd request all songs at least 3 times. :P
last time i rooted for scrapes sorry catcher more because of the weather.

the aolradio dude says

All Request station is going down tomorrow PM. Not sure when next Request thing will be
about 2 hours ago from TweetDeck

Might do something different next time
about 2 hours ago from TweetDeck

prostitute is on rt now. ask yourself why'd i choose to prostitue myself...
i've missed this i love, if the world, sorry scraped catcher in the rye cd Street of Dreams, it seems.
but it was amazing to hear twat rt after lady gaga' poker face' or before lily allen 'the fear'.
 they  rather matched well with one another!

if they had gone by my requests then This I Love would have been in heaviest circulation out of all CD songs. thats not what has happened. the thing is we have to look at the effectiveness of our efforts. every CD song is special but when theyre played so sporadically that nobody gets to hear them, there's not much utility to the exercise.

Ignatius, if you request the same song twice, ive noticed that the tweets dont go through. so we'll need to alternate at least two songs.

IRS was on just now.

Naa what i'm saying that if you had requested just one song 300times, even when the others requested it only once or twice along with other songs, that could have easily gotten the song on heavy rotation..as seen with cooks.

if the result was everything, we could have made a few twitter accounts each and 100 pages of requests easy(err blooody 7hour nonstop tweeting might not be so easy...). But to me to get more people involved is more important. I'd love it if cooks fans for example listening to the radio for their requests liked a song or two off our requests.
Like i said it's not a bad idea to decide on our target song(s). Make a poll and get more forum fans interested. But you can't force people not to tweet for other songs they like. Or they'd be put off.
Its about our fun and personal choice. It's not about 'just shut up and request this!'.

also, i saw a few fans saying we shouldn't give support because blah...what a joke! They'd rather have the industry/others shove things down their throats than choose songs for themselves!


I didn't notice that.

But i think you could have tweeted for
 'Guns N Roses, THIS I LOVE #aolradiorequest'
And
'guns n roses this i love #aolradiorequest' by turns. ;)

I believe this is how it works, you could tweet the same song over and over as long as the post wasn't the exact same.

examples

Will not work.
Guns N' Roses, Prostitute. #aolradiorequest
Guns N' Roses, Prostitute. #aolradiorequest

Will work.
Guns N' Roses, Prostitute. #aolradiorequest
Guns N' Roses, Prostitute #aolradiorequest         <- notice the .
or
Guns N' Roses, Prostitute. #aolradiorequest
Guns N Roses, Prostitute. #aolradiorequest         <- notice the '

Hope that helps.

like i said tweeting the same thing twice meant it didnt go through though i'll try following chronada's tip next time- i was copying and pasting from the song list you drew up here. even when i alternated or went for 3 different songs i saw some tweets not going through. they would show up on my twitter but not on the aol request sheet.

also i doubt that with cooks it was one person sending those requests. like i said, the song i demanded the most was This I Love but it appears that prostitute is getting the most circulation though i didnt go for that one.

nobody is suggesting making 20 accounts etc. if The Script fans can get a song into the top 10, we should be able to do it too- its just about strategy. like you say the idea is to get more people involved and for them to like CD songs. it has become clear through experience that far more people will get exposed to it and have a chance to love it if it was in heavy circulation. like i said before,  the likelihood of somebody listening for five hours is not very high.

i dont see anybody here saying that people should be "forced" nor does anybody have the control required to do any such forcing. its just about examining what is it that we want to get out of this exercise- there's no conflict between enjoying ourselves and getting people to like CD and being strategic  while doing it.

thanks for the helpful tip. i'll try this out next time. :)

I requested almost all the songs, but focussed primarily on If The World, Street of Dreams, and This I Love.  I must've requested those songs 30 times or so each.  But I never checked to see if they actually went through, I just took it for granted that they were.

faldor if you like,  go http://search.twitter.com/
and search for your twitter name and  #aolradiorequest to see it.

Nothing comes up.  Don't tell me all my requests didn't go through?  Maybe it's just because they're a week old, they don't show up.  When I search for Guns N' Roses #aolradiorequest, only 3 requests show up from 6 days ago.

it should... try this http://search.twitter.com/search?q=guns+roses+%23aolradiorequest

then your twitter name....


actually that's the same method i was trying to suggest to you there although admittedly its wasn't as clear as chronada's description.. Look carefully the two lines in my post aren't same.

Twitter isn't very stable.




again you're missing the point. See the link i posted earlier. cook got More than Twice as many twitters as us. Seemingly cook fans with many requests tweeted for various songs except for a few who just stuck to come back to me.  no this is not the point yet.

That's not always the case with the other 7 acts in the top ten. Guess those songs are singles? With script they made about 100 pages just for one song and that's all i think.  

Still cook got 2 more songs (actually more than the 3 according to the aolradio dude) in the top 10.

See, one of those 3 got only 9 pages of tweets. http://search.twitter.com/search?max_id=2897948308&page=9&q=Cook+Permanent+%23aolradiorequest  

And the other with18 pages. Or 17, if you subtract the ones with odd dates.
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=David+Cook+bar+ba+sol++%23aolradiorequest

So there i figured 20 + some pages of requests for a song should have been adequate to make it to the top 10 this time. About the next time heaven knows.


is anybody saying somebody is?



they outnumbered us.


Good then i don't get what you, and just you were getting at in my posts where i had said that i'm not against the idea to decide on the not compulsory but recommended songs many a time already.
As far as it's clearly optional it's fun for everybody.
I'll tweet for it/them more times than for other cd songs, unless otherwise suggested by the band or something by then.

if the result was everything, we could have made a few twitter accounts each and 100 pages of requests easy(err blooody 7hour nonstop tweeting might not be so easy...). But to me to get more people involved is more important.

[/quote]

ppbebe, this is what i was referring to. i dont see anybody suggesting that we all make several accounts or that we make it "compulsory" to tweet for certain songs. like i said, what power does anybody here have to enforce such "compulsion"? what penalties has anybody proposed?

all that people are talking about is organizing ourselves, deciding collectively on songs through a poll. what part of this process appears so coercive to you that the word "compulsion" keeps coming up?

and i do disagree with you- the results ARE important. unless we're tweeting for the simple joy of tweeting.

during the first request session, we had a few people but the overall number of tweets was also lower. so the result was that if you listened for 5 hours you'd hear prostitute twice and Better at least once if not twice.

during the second request session, we had more people but we acheived less. frequency dropped to 2 songs every 5 hours. this makes little sense and if we keep following our scattered approach, frequency will drop even more next time as word gets out to more fan forums and other bands join the fray. "getting people involved" is best acheived by getting them to encounter CD and that is best acheived by reaching high circulatution. 

The Script fans have shown the strategic value of a focused approach. even though they have a whopping 100 pages, if they had been going for an entire album worth of songs, their strength would have dissipated significantly.

come on baby :confused:

perhaps you could have been clearer with a "few" and  "not everything" :) nobody suggested making even 3 accounts simultaneously so anxiety on that front is entirely unnecessary. one account each will suffice hopefully when we put on a collective front.  : ok:

what! now in your logic you claim that I'm suggesting that people should make themselves clearer.

bullshit. no one could be clearer with these than 'if the result was everything, we could have...'

And that's just an example of your twists. I don't know how you can read my posts in such an original way.
I elaborate


neither do i. Where did I say anyone was? stop putting words to my mouth.

It's me if anyone was suggesting anything there, by means of a hypothesis.

And the suggestion was that the result is not everything,

The hypothesis was not about the future but in retrospect. I said 7 hours that's the time we had on 7/21 and I said could have not just could meaning the past that never happened /wasn't happening. Numbers like 100 pages, a few accounts each 7 hours nonstop tweeting should suggest very small number of people not all the people who'd tweet for GNR. Or I'd have said 2000pages.

I paraphrase the bit.

if you only aims at good marks, it can be simple like this

Back to july 21st
The two of us, rabia and me, could make a few accounts each, 6 accounts total. From an account you could tweet approx 15 pages in the given 7 hours. So our 6 accounts could make 90 Pages of tweets. 90 pages for a song or two. This with other fans proper tweets would secure100 pages of requests and at least 2 songs in the top ten.

In theory we could have done this last time. We could do this kind of thing next time. But would you?  I wouldn't. not only because I don't have that much time in hand. but also because that seems kinda wanky and hollow, too boring and tiring to me.
 
We are fans. Fans support the band for love, for fun. There's no owing business between fans and bands.

Tweet requesting is like a game. Players aim at winning but winning is not everything. what would you do if you heard not many people listen to it?
For me, a tweet for twat from a casual music fan means more than hundreds of automatic votes for a winning song.


That said,  if any time killer would  like to tweet nonstop from multiple accounts next time and on their own account, I'd say Go ahead, More power to them more requests to us.


again where i said anybody here has?  I said if anyone tried to do that everyone'd be put off.  Seeing as how we were inferior in numbers at there, I want people feel free and easy to participate in the next event. of their free will not out of a sense of obligation.  that's why i had to make it clear that it won't be "compulsion",  thinking that should be the last time.

No idea why you are so offended by that.

When they could have sent 2/3 songs to the top 10 instead of 1.

Polly it's the only song the twitters like. as their pick was 08 single not the newer ones, I guess it actually their fav.

If you go by those 7 groups, shouldn't cd and better get focused on by rights?

actually, ppbebe, youre the one who seems be having a needless meltdown here and seems needlessly "offended" by God knows what. im quite tired of GN'R fans' constant in-fighting based around "hypotheticals". nobody is suggesting the "hypotheticals" you keep constructing but you insist on A, continuing to construct them and B, continuing to protest them. i dont see the uitility of either. whats the point of the constant "if someone were to compel others" etc etc when nobody is? we're trying to talk based on REAL-LIFE scenarios, not imaginary ones.

again, nobody is suggesting that we do the "wanky and hollow" thing of making multiple accounts etc, so whats the point of that diatribe? you seem to be having a conversation with yourself here.

secondly, nobody said anything about anything being "owed between fans and bands" and nobody has REMOTELY suggested going insane with multiple accounts etc training for the next tweet session like it was an olympic even with mottos of "winning is everything" etc.  ::)

but the point of this tweeting thing is to help other listeners become acquainted with CD and the best way of doing that is hopefully getting a song into the top ten. if you dont agree with this objective, sure. but those who do are free to discuss it and put up a poll etc. putting up a poll on a fan forum is a NORMAL activity and does NOT constitute an A, obligation B, compulsion C, any kind of a fascist exercise. the idea is to make a collective decision on THIS board based on free expression of opinions. NOBODY has any control over what anybody does on twitter, whether they chose to or not to make a single tweet is entirely up to them.

as for the "time killer" business, if anybody wants to make time to request CD songs multiple times, i say more power to them. i certainly wouldnt slight them with titles like "time killer". i'll appreciate their effort.

i seriously doubt that The Script fans "only" like one song by that band.  ;D they had no way of knowing in advance that they would accumulate 100 pages which could theoretically be enough to get 2 or maybe 3 songs in the top ten. thats another "hypothetical" thats being pulled out of thin air. 

For the last time
Stop with your twists. If anything offensive, these are. Unless your name is our merry friend axlroseven.

I never said anyone here was suggesting these. All I'm saying is that it's important to make people feel free to participate in the tweet event. Before you say you never said blah I'm not saying anyone here is trying to make people feel uncomfortable.

I've talked generalities relating to the event. People who're long enough in the net fan community would get that.


as for the poll I've said this from the start.


My suggestion is that when we do it, add that (Providing the rule is the same next time)

Besides the target song(s), any tweet for any song you like off cd is appreciated. You can either tweet as many songs as many times you like or the target song(s) as many times you like and that's easy and fun.

agree or disagree?

again ppbebe, nobody is "twisting" anything. im simply expressing my point of view which i am well within my right to do.

you keep coming up with "generalities" and "hypotheticals" which nobody has proposed- this is important because generalities and hypotheticals are only useful if they are going to lead to reality.

ALL that has been proposed here is starting a poll and mutually deciding the shortlist of songs for next time based on people's opinions. there is NO reason to believe that that should make anybody feel "not free". how exactly a poll suggests to you a "compulsion" where people wont be able to request any other songs is mystifying. a poll is a consultative device, not a coercive one. sure if people want to request other songs too i dont see anybody objecting and how exactly is anybody expected to stop them anyway? the hope is to organize ourselves to acheive more next time.

and i dont think you speak for people long enough in the net community etc.

can't you answer my question?

i never said anybody has proposed these. plus the generalities are already the reality.

come on I'm waiting. it's this question.

haha! still being overly dramatic, i see. :)

read my post. A, NOBODY has objected to people requesting other songs and that includes me. shouldnt leave any mystery about whether I agree or disagree. :)

B, nobody HAS ANY power to STOP anybody from requesting other songs so the entire point of your protests about "compulsions", "obligations" etc is entirely non-existent. :) you keep protesting something which A, nobody has proposed and B, nobody could impose even if they HAD proposed it.

see the absolute illogicality of the exercise? looks to me like you just enjoy protesting simply for the sake of it.

protesting what?  :confused:


It depends on how you put it. If you tell them just 'request this song!' people who're new to this thing will take it as only for the song and that may well discourage some potential twitters.

again what's my protests? no body is saying anybody here has proposed whatever you're claiming there.
Save these shouts for the day when the polls are taken at other forums.

Anyhoo, I'm not seeing much promotional effect in this. I find it fresh and agreeable that they actually play the requests and the aolradio dude being fair, i might add.

again, all that has been discussed is putting up a poll- by its nature a consultative exercise. there's no indication WHATSOEVER that people will be commanded to do anything - new to twitter or old. since you admit that nobody has proposed using this kind of pressure, what are you on about from countless posts? nothing really. just protesting for the sake of it. :)

its the same old pointless "hypothetical" you keep pulling out of your long book of pointless hypotheticals and imaginary scenarios. what are you protesting? the supposed injustice of ppl being told "you must request this song" which not a single person has proposed doing.  :hihi: like i said, manufacturing a threat which doesnt exist then protesting it. :)

im "claiming" nothing- just pointing out the hilarious pointlessness of your continuous alarm over "compulsions" that arent even being contemplated.


you may not see much promotional effect in this. i do think its a useful oppurtunity to introduce a few more people to CD songs.

Trying to agree to disagree?

We are all in the same boat here (at least the ones who are using twitter to request GNR songs). The point of this thread is telling people they can request GNR songs as many times as they want. The more GNR twitts, the more radio play GNR will get.

Having said that, we've done this twice already. I believe we should be more organized next time. I don't want to push people to request a particular song, but WE all want Chinese Democracy to reach as many listeners as we possibly can and maybe the idea of narrowing our requests to just a few songs will probably push GNR higher next time.

The poll will just give people an idea of what song they can request if they feel like it. ppbebe, I do understand people should request whatever song they want, but the point of twitting GNR is to help GNR get more airplay. By focusing in one or two songs, people will probably get to listen GNR more than they would if we all request all 14 songs from CD each. 

I don't think by having a poll people will be turned off by the idea of twitting GNR. Members here know the score, so I don't think it'll be a problem.

Anyway, next time we can all decide what's best.

 :peace:

it's not much promotional effect is it? but something make us smile.

i Admit what? I kept saying I never claimed anyone here was trying to do whatever for gods sake. it's your false charge made against me in your countless posts. obviously you either didn't read my posts or were without comprehension. Why can't you just admit that?



Another quick example. Read my post nowhere I claimed that.

We aren't even sure if there's a next time. Talking about the next event is already a hypothesis.
Saying if focused, win- this is a hypothesis as well. the rules are also subject to change.

Making deductions from past data and facts is essential if you aim at efficiency.
When that tells something you don't like, it's pointless and useless?

You were after "winning" in an argument that didn't even exist and now you're into bitchfest. I'm not. I'm into civil and constructive discussions and fun. Do you know that a discussion is not about whether win or lose? and since I've made my point clear already, I stop replying to you here, even if you're still into ruining the thread. tara!.

I thought it was clear that Ignatiues pretty much asked you two to stop.....

Take it to PMs.



/jarmo

i meant the potential twitters. and fans in other forums  not the ones with twitter accounts who already twitted for cd .

To be honest I'm quite happy with the past results which get cd songs into moderate rotation considering that not so many forum fans tweet. Faldor n me made accounts because of this.

altho We here outnumber aol followers, we at there were outnumbered by some other band twitters.

about the rest, i have no particular objection

Because it's about Chinese Democracy,
I attach the importance to fan's participation. the awareness about your rights to choose your music yourselves.

So my idea of organized move is that

as soon as the next event is announced, tell forums about it, that they do play requests, and that the aol dude is fair, he mentioned us a few times in the past. Your every tweet will be counted. how about it!

Take polls decide on the target(s) and at the same time also encourage people to tweet for cd songs besides our target if they like.

the more the merrier.

its irrelevant how big of a promotional effect this initiative will have. it presents an oppurtunity and thats good enough for me. i comprehended your posts perfectly. you seem to be continuously confusing the idea of putting up a poll and collective action with coercion which not a single person is proposing.

its a "hypothesis" that this intitiative will happen again? no, actually, its a pretty good guess considering the fact that the response this time was better than last time and so AOL has incentive to continue. also, its not a "hypothesis" that organized action can lead to top ten play- like i said The Spirit fans showed the value of such collective action. making deductions from past data is PRECISELY what im doing- you seem unable to understand that spreading ourselves too thin costs us airplay. EFFICIENCY is better served by organization.

an argument certainly didnt exist because nobody was proposing coercion which is what you continuously opposed- yet nobody had ever proposed it. :) working collectively strengthens us as a fan community, yet you continuously confuse it with "telling people what to do".

as for "civil" discussion, if you believe in it hopefully you can do a better job of living by that belief next time.

i agree, i dont think having a poll should turn anybody off. internet using fans are well aware of their rights and know that nobody has any power to coerce them into tweeting at all- far from tweeting only for the songs anybody tells you to.

D posted info about this AOL thing on other forums last time and when he (or somebody else) does it next time they can add that collectively focusing on certain songs (the ones preferred in our poll) would be more productive for the overall results. individual fans can then decide for themselves whether they want to follow the focused approach or do it differently.

It's that time again.  The following are tweets from aolradio.

For the announcement you've been waiting for: We're doing Tweet Requests all next week, 10/26 - 10/30....(to be cont)

Everyday next week, from 3 pm - 5 pm ET, tweet your requests and IMMEDIATELY hear them at 5 pm for 24 hours. (cont)

At 5 pm, we will refresh the playlist to include songs requested that day.

I'll be posting this info on aolradioblog.com just so it will be more clear. I will also include in the post how you should request ur songs

Like before, the more requests we get for a song, the more likely they'll be played. However, we will NOT be holding any kind of competition

...to see who will get the most requests. This is more about playing songs you want to hear.

If it's in our library, we will play it! So 4 the next week, think of the songs u want to hear and prep. 2 request them next week

Remember though: Only taking requests from 3-5 pm ET each day next week and only during that time period.
