Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I've been at work for an hour and i've heard patience, don't cry, and now sweet child all on our radio station that never plays gnr...

probably didn't need a new topic but I didn't know where to share

it feels good doesn't it?? i get that warm fuzzy feeling everytime i hear gn'r either on tv or on the radio..

odd? i don't think so, gn'r is the best rock band ever!!!!!!!!

 :peace:

I haven't heard don't cry or patience on the radio for a very very long time... especially on the crap ass pop station in my city... makes me smile that 10+ years later gnr is getting played in between nicklesack, and michelle branch

I heard Patience like last month on the radio I was like " i know this song...what the hell is it!?!?" then it hit me and I was like YA!!!! and turned it up really loud. lol

Chinese Democracy starts now!!!

I hear ya same thing for me.And the local radio station plays GNR at least 3 times a day :peace:

I heard (Insert Overplayed GNR song here) on the radio today and was very excited.  :peace:

I'm guessin that was a cheap attempt trying to be sarcastic

Oh man I'm definitely going nuts over here....I can't wait...Chinese Democracy is coming out now wee woo wee woo.........This is definitely a good sign.  I don't wanna get my hopes up but I think this is it.........(now that's sarcasm)

I think they're being played more for a reason. I don't know exactly what it is, but I don't think it's just a coincidence because too many people have been hearing them way more.

I think a big part of it is a renewed respect for GNR, especially the Appetite-era GNR. Suddenly we're seeing the album and certain tracks high up on various all-time lists. I think people are starting to go, "hey, those guys were incredible for a little while." And radio programmers are starting to treat them like a short-lived but important peer of bands like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, etc.

I'm also vaguely suspicious that it may be part of a priming process to begin promotion of the new band as the *potential* record nears us.

If I was a label, and I had this old band that had totally re-configured and was trying to develop a sort of "these guys are really important" buzz, I'd elbow the corporations (Clear Channel esp) and ask them if they wouldn't mind playing a little more GNR, just to raise the recognition factor.

Or perhaps because we are so desperate for CD we'll take any opportunity to read into something positive... some kind of sign....

or perhaps the planets are aligning and soon we will have CHINESE DEMOCRACY

I thought this was post would just be a further addition to the list of sarcastic posts above it, so imagine my dismay when half-way through I suddenly realised you were serious :nervous: :confused:

Gee, sorry I wasn't able to provide any insouciance for you.

lol shit, i almost spit out my drink.  :rofl:

....and a fine attempt at being funny.

Last heard GNR on the radio in 1997.....the UK sucks

My Radio NEVER plays GnR!!!! :crying:

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

Odd......Yes this is odd :o

....a drama queen.

In the last few months I've noticed that they're playing tons more GNR songs on my local radio station The Wolf 101.5.

Usually they play WTTJ, Patience and Paradise City and sometimes KOHD.

I usually hear one or two of these songs daily on this radio station while I'm at work or on my way to work or going home.

It's fucking awesome!!!!! :yes: : ok: :smoking: :beer: :drool:

i no. last night i hurd Paradise cityand the DJ was exstatic about the w8 4 chin dem. then they played November rain. 2 b onest kerrang duz play a lot of gd gn'r tunes. i hear em @ leest x4 a month

Gotta disagree with you mate! GnR are constantly on Sky TV in England! In fact on VH2 on saturday they were on for 8 hours straight and I reckon over the last 6 months not two days has gone by without a programme about GnR being on! Also they even get a bit of air play on Radio 1 occasionally and if you listen to radio stations like Virgin they play guns quite a bit!! Oh and they were on the the MTV2 countdown on Sunday for the 101 greatest albums countdown! Yes they came in at number 1!!!!!

It's kinda nice to hear GN'R when I go into a non-music store. It's comforting.

But then again, Usher usually follows, but whatever.
