Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I think catcher with a video would be a thing of beauty 8)

i think prostitute
but i really think they should re-realase better again and promote it like a paris hilton sex tape

I never get bored of 'better'.....you're right it does need a new release with some support and maybe a few performances...

I would do one very furious and aggresive video (fast, dynamic, probably with live images) of Riad, and then a monumental, mindblowing/cinematographic november rain-type video for TWAT. These are my choices as fan. From a commercial point of view, I would use ''Scraped'', ''Chinese Democracy'' and ''This I Love'' to make videos for.

I AM USING SCRAPED FOR MY SKYDIVING VID. LOL

I think TWAT would be a good Single. I agree they should re release Better with a video.

Scraped
Sorry
IRS
This I Love
If The World
Street of Dreams
Prostitute (minus outro)

Agreed but there would be a cost issue on trying to get videos 4 all those songs but I think there all great picks from this album!!! ;)

there will be no video's were kidding our selves here. who's going to give AXl any money to make a video, or even for that matter a new album!  Listen i think axl is the coolest person  around and yes he is a hero of mine, but we have to stop thinking that there are record people or even fans out there that are going to give money to a band that has continued to do things on there own terms, wether not making deadlines for realeasing albumes, or showing up late or not showing up at all to concerts.

there was a time
irs
shackler's
if the world
prostitute... mmm actually all the songs on cd



strongly agreed

Hi guys,

Why not a single from the forthcoming album ?

Atlas shrugged ?
Checkmate ?
Zodiac ?

Oh my god (bonustrack) ?
Silkworms (bonustrack) ?

Because they're not done with Chinese yet?

You're absolutely right (but there is a very little chance that the new album will also be named "Chinese democracy")  ;D

(but to be honest I have to admit I didn't read the question right...)

There will be no new singles until the label decides to support Guns N' Roses.

They won't support it until Axl decides to step out in public.

Agreed.

But, Chinese Democracy seems dead from the label's perspective.  They told Billboard they would release a third single.  They never did.  They won't do that now, out of the blue.  In all fairness, the album seems dead from the band's perspective too, as they have done no touring to support it.  They may yet, but touring a year after an album's release won't do much to revive the album from a sales perspective.

I thought that a good potential single would have been TWAT. However, I seriously doubt that anymore singles are going to be released. The momentum for this album is dead and gone. Axl, the record company, and Best Buy blew it. I think the game plan now should be focusing on new material with DJ Ashba and releasing that ASAP. The other alternative is to get the originals back.

On a side note, I saw AC/DC in concert last Friday at Giants Stadium. It was the second time I saw them and they rocked it out! I just wish that Axl could have gotten his act together and done the same this summer. It would have been nice to see him rock Giants Stadium as the days of that landmark comes to a close. 

I guess you don't want GN'R to play live and tour behind this album then.

That's fine. Nobody's forcing you to go once they do tour.


Some of you spent XX years whining about there not being an album. Then you abandoned it after three-six months saying it was dead and GN'R needs to put out a new album.



For me, the album isn't even close to being dead or forgotten at this point.

Can't wait to see them play those songs live in front of people who share that excitement.

If we're going to see a new single out, it won't be until the band is ready to tour.   Singles are usually released to help sales wth an album or if the band is touring to help promote the tour.  Hopefully we'll see a tour soon.

Why would you assume he wouldn't want to see GNR live!!!?? I'd much rather have a new album, and would like that to be the focus of GNR, BUT if that doesn't happen, then ya I'm all for another CD tour!!!! Anything to do with GNR is awsome, but a night at a GNR show compared to a new GNR album!!? come on, most will pick a new album....whats wrong with that? Doesn't meen I like GNR any less, i'm still going to love seeing them live!! any true fan would love that with or without a new album, but because in less than 4months the albums a year old and hasn't had any tours/videos,promo,etc, isn't it only natural to speculate that they could be creating new music, especially with the addition of DJ who's a songwriter.!!?

What's wrong with it?

We got an album, and as far as I know, the band isn't done with it yet. Unlike some of you.


So if you managed to live years and years without a new album, maybe you should hold that thought and save it for later.... In the meantime, go put on Chinese Democracy and enjoy.

I always thought Shackler's would make a great song for radio.

True but when were waiting they could make a new album and tour for both of them problem solved ;)

To Soon to release another album, it wouldn't make sense and would confuse the public.

But it would get them thinking of GNR and thats important right now for the band but thats what I think...

Chinese Democracy... Full Promotion..

The Comming..

SHACKLER'S REVENGE - Full Bomb & Video Clip + Radio...

 :beer:

I hope that will happen ;)

Agreed!

Not many casual fans or critics would see that coming! And if they did a tour after that in support of both albums, the media would think twice about doing any more "15-years-and-xxx-million-dollars-for-this" -jokes.

System Of A Down released TWO albums during a short period of time back in 2005. It didn't hurt them at all, in fact I remember reading some articles where it seemed like journalists/critics liked the idea and thouht it showed guts and confidence!

In today's struggeling music industry, there seems to be a lot of acceptance for artists and bands that do stuff a bit out of the norm, if you know what I mean....

It all depends on the strength of the material. And from the few comments from insiders that has heard some of the unreleased tracks, there seems to be more gems in the vault!   :yes:

Some of us stick with that Axl said they wanted to keep their focus on CD for now, but like we all know, plans often change in the world of GN'R!   :beer:

would any of us even get to see a video anyway?.....

being that mtv doesn't play videos anymore!!!  ya'll have to remember that the music indusrty has changed so drastically since the uyi days.  mtv barely played music vids back then!!

Youtube is the new MTV, and has been for many years..... 

With today's social networks (Facebook, Twitter, myspace etc etc), new videos are more easily accessable then ever!

Just because MTV has become a reality-channel, doesn't mean music-videos don't get watched by millions all over the world!

"Shackler's Revenge" would be a horrible choice for single, the track was least radio friendly and critically successful track on the album.

...And as for "Scraped", they'd be better of re-releasing "Bad Apples".

Don't agree.

Shackler's rocks.............big time!

And so does "Scraped".

Any song can be the next single really.  The album is that good, front to back.

So you guys honestly believe "Shackler's Revenge" and/or "Scraped" is as good as/or better than "There Was A Time", "Better" and "This I Love"...?

Apples and Oranges.

That's like comparing Jungle to Estranged. 

True but Axl will want to do Better first.

Yeah those albums helped each other out I wonder what the next album will be called Comunist America :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Better was released last year.

I ment for a music vid sorry

Sometimes you release singles more than once.

Anything's possible.





/jarmo

Yeah with a music vid I hope ;)

I hope so.  I would like Better to be promoted properly.

They got it wrong with Jungle the first time, but the suits managed to fix things with future releases of the song.

Huh? I'm sorry, call me stupid, but I don't know what you ment by that post!

I didn't make ANY sense to me at all!

Try again!

Im a little high but the Communist America thing was like a contradiction like Chinese Democracy for the new GNR album so fucked up :rofl: :rofl:

When you think they should do this or that, then how can you claim you want them to do other things beside those?

You want to have the cake and eat it too?

The only thing GN'R should ever do is what they feel is right.




Get "the originals back"? Don't you read anything Axl has said this year?

Your support for GN'R sure takes interesting forms. "Get the originals back". Right....  ::)




GN'R toured without an album in 2006 and 2007. They can tour in 2009 if they want.

A tour isn't just something you do around an album release anymore. Bands actually tour behind Greatest Hits compilations and stuff nowadays!

It actually seems like some artists just put out albums just so they can tour. So there's an excuse to go on tour. And the quality of those releases are often subpar....



GN'R has a quality record out. A bunch of songs that have never been performed live in front of audiences before. Audiences who can actually go and buy the album if they want to after/before the shows.

Why does that seem like such a horrible idea to some fans is beyond me.

Maybe all of you who don't want the band to tour will get lucky and they'll skip your part of the planet. Keep your fingers crossed!


Seriously, it's astounding to see fans post that they don't want their favorite (?) band to tour behind the album these people waited so long for.

We have people on this board who never got to see the band in the past.

In addition, we have all the ones saying that this isn't a real band blah blah blah. Well, real bands do tour. But the same people who say these things don't want them to tour. Ironic!





/jarmo

Thats not what I said.

The album has 14 very different tracks. All of them offer something different.

Many of them have grown on me over time and it's almost impossible to pick a favourite.

Shacklers and Scraped are very different from TWAT, TIL, Better.

Personally I get something from all 14 tracks.

I believe, Full Promotion In MARKETING Popular:

BETTER / SHACKLER'S REVEGE / STREET OF DREAMS

Video Clip / Radio Promotion

In Begginig 2010

More: Announce WOURLD TOUR

 :beer:

I would choose TWAT, Catcher in The Rye, and Madagascar as the singles.   Those have the most potential to get ppl interested in this album, and they are just great songs that should be associated with GNR.   

They just need to push "Better" more, imho.  I guess to stay "on topic," if an additional single is needed, I think "This I Love" would probably be a good choice as it seems many rock bands nowadays that actually have a "hit" do so with a ballad rather than a "rocker."
