Here Today... Gone To Hell!

This thread will contain all activities pertaining to the Street Team Europe group;

Here we will compile details of all the members, websites, activities etc.... We also need to elect a spokesperson

Please do not start anymore threads pertaining to the Street Team idea, and please do not fill this thread with nonsense as there as other threads to cater for that. For the fans that do not want to be involved until something is announced, that's fine. You can become involved when that time comes

Will, I'm sorry I modified your post, but I had to add my site (www.gunsnroses.gr) for Greece, cause we're always forgotten.

I also vote for Jarmo.

My bad! That's cool. :peace:

No problemo dude...  :peace:

Long Live GN'R...

I vote for Jarmo, too.

And since I'm from Germany I'd say that everything you want to be shouted out you send to me and I'll include it in the Newsletter.


/lastroots

my homeboy, jarmo.

Jarmo

www.gnr.nu - Norway ?

Oh, I'm not the owner of this site... maybe I got it wrong.. it was a suggestion.

I've already told Jarmo and Mysteron, Nightrain Fanzine is interested in being a part of this.
Nightrain is based in the UK.

I'll vote Will.

(france powa !!  ;D )

jarmo is cool tho   :beer:

Jarmo

Jarmo ! It's a plebiscite !  ;D :beer:

I vote for jarmo of course. Already enough votes to say he's the one for Europe.

www.gnronline.it for the Italian speaking part of Switzerland ;) and www.gunsnroses.de for the German part of Belgium!

Jarmo!  : ok:

oh, theres only ONE norwegian GNR website out there? wow... damn...  :nervous:

I can participate in Norway. Dont have a website with GNR, but knows my around stuff in Norway sorta...where to go..what to do..

yeah, i mean, ill do anything too... or, i am doing all i can for spreading the word about GNR.... but im not sure what to do and how, if we do it online....

 : ok:

lol...Good one! ;D

sorry, maybe i missed something, what are these websites gunna do towards the street team??

I also vote Jarmo.
If he wants to do it that is.

Jarmo

exactly my thought!

However, I'm more than willing to do whatever to help Uncle Axl.

I can cover all national French media, and local radio stations in the Paris area.

I also think Jarmo would make a good spokesperson (and Axl seems to already know him  :hihi: ).

Me ready to help.......

One big problem i live in Newcastle England and the weather is always shit its going to be a bastard standing around handing out whateva in the pissing rain!!!

SP

OK, Jarmo will be spokesman for Europe

And as the clearest votee at the moment, he will also be made overall spokesperson for the short term. He will be introduced to Merck later this week or next week

We will give it until Friday to let things settle first

Well done Jarmo, this is the right man for the job. I`ll do anything i can in the Uk and in particular london

i can't see us gettting a great deal of joy on british radio to be honest. The main station for our demographic is radio one, and they are "too cool for school" to play gn'r. Virgin Radio will be easier to get some change out of, but if we want some real exposure for guns it's gonna take a big effort to sway the BBC to our viewpoint.

Most local stations where i live are for over thirties, but the biggest DJ for my area comes into the shop where i work so i'll refuse him service till he starts playing the new single regularly.

Thanks guys.  :)


I set up an e-mail address for the streetteam stuff, helps to keep the e-mails in order.  ;)

streetteam@heretodaygonetohell.com



/jarmo

i could do the "work" for AUSTRIA! ;)

i don?t have a website. (i could make one, but i don?t have enough time)

?3 and FM4 are very big radio stations which i can contact easily!

 ::)some help would be great........

Chris Moyles is a GN'R fan. I remember him talking about the Leeds festival and he plays the songs sometimes, which is cool cause R1 dj's have a set playlist from above.

I reckon if we just send all the shows emails every day they will say something. Mark & Lard always read random stuff out. ;)

Shame this didn't happen last year. I sent their producer an email pretending to be a stripper and he gave me his work phone number, I could have bombarded him but he left.

I'd also like to mention that I'm running a Greek GN'R fan club.

All the members will help with the street team.

Plus I can promote it through the fanzine...

I've also created an email for the street team: streetteam@gunsnroses.gr

I will do anything in the Essex/London area of England.
I know that Chris Tarrant on Capital Radio is a big fan of SCOM and i'm sure he would give the band some airplay but the station is rather more pop orientated than Radio One but it never hurts to try.

I know what you guys are saying about British stations. Radio 1 will play them but only during certain shows, Capital are shite - all they do is play the top 10 chart on repeat, that said if Guns do well they`ll follow the rest of the world and play them, just don`t expect them to put their collective necks on the line.

Virgin Radio are a good bet, but my greatest hopes are on my personal favourite station - Xfm, which is an "Alternative" station, play lots of rock, indie and always gives young bands a chance, i don`t see them discounting Guns on their history/line up changes. They already play classic Guns daily on their request show.

http://www.xfm.co.uk

Didn't XFM promote both the cancelled and the 2002 UK tour?

I`m not sure - although this kinda rings a bell. I`ll have a look on the site and see if i can find anything out. If this  is the case then they will be one of our strongest allies over here.

This is all i could really find - just talks about the Dockland Arena show on August 26th.

http://www.xfm.co.uk/article.asp?id=4684

Intesting point to add

Nothing about sponsoring those gigs but they do seem to follow the stories as the appear.

Yes they did...

I just checked my posters...

Cool, as i said they will be who i really have hope for.  Its a great station who now belong to the capital radio group (but then who doesnt) but they do seem to have free reigns of the playlist. I will make it my personal mission to get Guns to londons ear via these guys.

Heres hoping we get something to work with very soon

Yes no problem! We have a very important user from Switzerland!! I'm late but i'm sure that  Jarmo is a very good choice for  the role of Coordinator!!!!

Done some work here...

Found all the contacts to the major radio stations in the 2 biggest cities of Greece.

Working on other cities too...

In France, I see mainly 2 rock stations that are likely to play GN'R if we request them. One of them is national and the other one is limited to the Paris area.
The other stations are pop-rock at best, so there will be (much) more work to do. It will also depend on what kind of musical style GN'R goes in.

Other than that, we could push magazines to do a feature on them when the time comes, but rock magazines will talk about them anyway so I don't think we're needed  ;D

In Sweden we have one big national radio channel, P3 (http://www.sr.se/p3), that could play GN'R.

Then there are commercial channels like NRJ (http://www.nrj.se/) (who I don't think would play GN'R), Rix (http://www.rixfm.com/) (maybe if it's not too "heavy") and Mix Megapol (http://www.mixmegapol.com/).

In Stockholm they have Rockklassiker (http://www.rockklassiker.se/), a rock station.

Stockholm, Gothenburg and Southern Sweden also have Radio City (http://www.radiocity.se)




/jarmo

You're thinking about Ou? FM and Le Mouv' ? At french GT Skippy talked about the Z?gut show on RTL2 and I think there's also Europe 2 that can be targeted ;) !Of course I guess there's no need to try w/ Skyrock or NRJ though  ;) !
Anyway I hope to draw rapidly a list of radios that be contacted in France, Belgium, and Switzerland  :) !

It's funny, we have a station called NRJ too. But no need to contact them, they play more the likes of Britney Spears and fake R'N'B.  :hihi:

In Switzerland we have Radio Framboise and Lausanne FM lol ;D ;D

Yes that's the 2 I was talking about ;)
Zegut will play the album no matter what if he likes it. If he doesn't, he won't. Or he will give it bad comments. That's the way he is  ;D
As for Europe 2, they might be too pop, I'm not sure  :-\
Then, there could also be local stations outside Paris, but I don't know about those.....

we're trying to list these stations too(at least the one we know  ;D), it's going to be funny  :hihi: :hihi:

I don't remember if anyone has mentioned that, but in my opinion the biggest promotion tool will definitely be MTV. Whether we like them or not, they can boost a career like nothing else. So people should all contact them, whether they're from Europe or the US, since MTV is pretty much everywhere  ;D

If they get enough request, they might play the video in high rotation. Hell, who knows, we might even get an interview with good ol' Kurt Loder  :hihi:

how do i become part of the UK street team

Ok im gonna go against my better cynical nature and help out...if thats ok...

What about targetting online Radio Stations?

I could do the "work" for Italy...

http://www.rtl.it/ (http://www.rtl.it/)
www.deejay.it (http://www.deejay.it)
http://www.105.net/home (http://www.105.net/home)

http://www.italianetwork.it/ (http://www.italianetwork.it/)
http://www.radio101.it/ (http://www.radio101.it/)


These are very big national radio stations which i can contact easily!

Anyway, some suggestions on what else do would be great........

In Iceland we have one big national station that is likely to play GN'R, R?s 2 (www.ruv.is), and then there is a great rock station X-i? (www.xid977.is) that plays GN'R quite frequently. There is also Radio Reykjavik (www.radioreykjavik.is) that plays mainly classic rock (pre 1990), nevertheless they might be willing to play GN'R.

That's not a bad idea. Some web radios like KNAC have a pretty large audience.

Ideas for UK targetting:

Digital radio stations - these seem to be a 'growth market', and a lot of the stations are quite eclectic and/or specialist and request oriented. Kerrang radio and Totalrock will probably play Chinese Democracy stuff anyway. BBC 6 music plays a lot of 'real music' and has a couple of rock oriented shows. Planet Rock plays a lot of G n' R but is more 'classic rock' oreinted.

BBC radio 2 - Don't laugh. Though it plays mostly 'oldies' and middle of the road 'newies', there are quite a few request slots and they do occasionally throw on a heavier track. Plus, something like the blues could easily find its way into rotation. Hey, it is the UK's most popular station (but admittedly it probably wouldn't touch new GnR until it had fairly become popular anyway).

Sky digital music channels - why hasn't anyone mentioned this? Scuzz, Kerrang and Q always get shitloads of requests when they have GNR videos listed anyway, MTV 2 will probably play Chinese democracy tracks too and has plenty of request slots. Its possible that something like the blues could make it way onto VH1, whilst VH2 could play some of the heavier stuff.

Student Radio stations could be worth a try too. As far as i know many of them are quite request oriented and carry specialised shows. Any exposure counts.

Pub jukeboxes - are these still used as a promo tool? I know I'm stating the obvious, but if CD ends up on any jukeboxes it'll be well worth slipping in a few quid to put it onto repeat play. A pub down the road from me has TSI available for selection, so stranger things have happened.

We already have more than 100 links of radio, tv, magazine, etc..... for Italy and Switzerland!!

For france and radios :

The ONLY PURE riocl radio is called " Le Mouv".

The three MAJOR radios that sponsor big concerts : RTL2, EUROPE2, NRJ ( pronounced Energy).

Radios listened to by youngsters : NRJ, SKYROCK, FG ( techno and mostly gay) and VOLTAGE ( which is in my street).

I know a few people who work for " people" magazines.

I guess no one wants that, but if someone does, it's always publicity and you know where to find me.

I have an old friend at EUROPE2, and am not sure i'll humilate myself into calling..

In London :

Friend used to work for Virgin Radio and now works for some musical mag...

Anyways....Yeah, i'll stop there...

I don't mind going to see radios, but i will not do it unless i can 250% sure that the band will be where they are supposed to be, do what they are supposed to do and get that album out.

I have a career to make and will not embarass myself. If i did, no more work for me sooooo    add 2 and 2.

I don't think the idea is to embarrass yourself. Only to collect information about where GN'R could be played....



/jarmo

Ideas is fine, but i can do more than that..... :hihi:

you got my ideas anyways...

If you need venues, tell me. :beer:

Ok, I don't know if anyone else mentioned this but street teams also encourage their members to write online reviews at websites like these:

Amazon.com
Barnes & Noble.com
CD Universe
Buy.com
Yahoo!
Rollingstone.com

I guess it's a good idea...

wow! cool poster!  :o

enormous posters [like these] should be hang up to promote the new album & possible tours, but with other information of course...

for example: that logo & picture + the CD release date. that's enough. they should appear all over the world...

but yeah... who are we??? we have ideas enough. unfortunately, the gn'r-entourage not...

Id like to nominate GNRLIES.com http://www.gnrlies.com for the UK street Team.
Thanks.

I designed a gnr banner also to help promote the band

(http://www.gnrlies.com/Images/newchinese/title.jpg)

I'd like to join, but tho i am dutch, i've got an english gn'r website....

( www.gunsnroses.downloaden.com )

Oki...went to some radio survey not far back ..it happened to be for RTL2, the biggest pop rock french radio.

They wanted to know if artists and bands were liked, if they got enough airplay or not. So made sure GNR got some more. Although they regularly play 8 GNR songs. But did my bit. I'll do some more if i can, also noticed that Classic Rock france knows about Chinese Democracy. I had sent emails around last year and told people to sit tightly for one day, it may come out and they'd be the 1st ones who want to know.

May soon work in radio myself ( a project, nothing's sure yet), so if i do, count on me.

This is just a reminder to all Street Team operatives that acitivities are, and should be, still ongoing. We need to ensure that all geographical areas are covered and all websites are ready for when the time comes. This will involve ensuring that you have all details of all appropriate radio stations/media outlets in your area etc..

Finalisation of the Street Team will not occur until we hear some official news, and Sanctuary are ready to move forward. In the meantime though, if we could just ensure we are 100% ready, that would be good. As of yesterday, Sanctuary were still doing their planning the release of the new album, so there are no clear cut timescales yet

Sanctuary have been informed of acitivites to date, and Jarmo has been introduced to them

 :peace:

umm, this whole thing is quite confused. let me get this straight..Universal is planning to release GH and  Sanctuary/label is planning to release the new album and in the same time trying to put the end to Universals GH releasing project...?

It's a beautiful 'thang ;D

here?s a list for the STREET TEAM that i?ve created (some things may be already someoneelses thoughts/ideas, if that?s the case i apologize for that!)


we could make the following and offer it on the main street team website:

-stickers for cars
-posters
-icq-skins etc.
-screensavers, desktop-themes
-mobile phone logos
-member card with specials for members
-meetings
-own online-radio-station
-best gnr-street-team-member-site award
-best gnr-fan-award

to make this things possible we could get some money with...

-building our own online shop with merchandise (street team shirts, caps,... and also bootleg-vhs/dvds, cd-rs of gnr at cheap prices
-an own donation account, maybe some bucks from everyone who wants to get an official member, other donations would be also welcome...  :hihi:


if someone has some questions feel free....

Something like that  :hihi:

We will keep mention of the GH album out of this thread though if that's ok, and remain focussed on the task as hand

Everything is fine in Greece.

We have info on every single radio station in every town.

We also have info on music tv stations.

Anything else needed?

sweet     :beer:

I'd like to help but I have no connections to websites or whatever, what can I do to help?

I agree, what the hell is going on. Can someone please tell us what exactly the street-teams are for and has some 'official' news been released about CD.

It seems like yesterday everyone was very negative about GnR period, and now we have folk about to issue CD posters and bombard radio stations....with what substance exactly.  Can you seriously expect any station to just play GnR because you disagree with GH and there is no sight of CD...or are you supplying radio stations with CD tracks that have been burnt of the web and asking them to play these in hope of forcing CD's release...confused?

Another thing we should probably do is put together together a Street Team information sheet/FAQ which will detail the activites of all of the local street teams etc.. and also answer questions that people have, as we keep getting the same questions asked over and over again  ::) :hihi:

That's a good idea.

Actually that's kinda what this thread (http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=9802) is for.



/jarmo

Many of Northern Ireland's public toilets now have "Chinese Democracy: GNR 2004" written on the inside of their doors.

You mean this is your way for Appetite of Destruction?  ;)

Hey !

My first post on this forum, I joined the streetTeam allready from mygnrforum.com, but just wanted to let you know that I'm in..

Heya all, how does one go about getting their website listed under the United Kingdom Street Teams. Im looking to do my bit and help promote gnr.

my site is www.gnrlies.com, i will be setting up info for a gnrlies uk street team soon, but would firstly like to get some more information in regards to this.

Rock on
Ari

I added your site to the list.



/jarmo

www.gnrstrip.tk has teamed with GNRLies.com

I still would like to join the list!

how :)

how about this, mysteron, we didn't use it for the tour...

But for the album i think we could promote the shit outta it  : ok:
