Did anyone listen to San Diego 91X this morning?

[leatherebel]

 Yeah, they were giving away anptehr pair of tickets and talked about my angry email from yesterday regeradign they should make listeners singing to Coma...lol....Anyway, the funny thing is the dj thought I was a girl.
I asked them to stop dissing the new band. We'll see what happens.

updated: the dj just emailed me and they want me on air to ask gn'r trivia questions for fans to compete for front row tix. unfortuantely, i am travelling thru tomorrow and tickets go on sale this sat. we'll see if this is still on next week. for those of you going to dial in, i do not plan to ask any questions regarding the old band or the old members. it's all about the new band at this time.

Better hope forum goers are gonna be listening or no one will win much.

[Neemo]

very cool for you leatherbel

but I'm afraid i agree with BLS, unless the question is who is in the band right now besides axl...even that may be pushing it

But please post the feedback from your Q&A I wanna see how much the average joe knows about the current band

[PrettyTiedUp763]

Oh, that's awesome. Lol. People are now really going to earn these tickets.

these questions are way too hard to answer for anyone besides the people who use to lfrequent the forums....

[Minneapolisnewsman]

The Replacements, NIN, Primus, and Psychadelic Furs have many fans that listen to 91X.  I would imagine, people will surprise you.

Well, that's the point - to have hardcore fans win the tickets. I've already complained about how front row tix get given away to random listeners and that's how this whole thing started. On the other hand, this is fine line we are trying to walk - we don't want too hard questions being asked since this would annoy the mainstream listeners and the non so hard fans and the radio station won't like that very much.
Thanks for all the input. I've already send them a bunch of questions to ask in case I can't get a chance to call in when the contest airs every day. The DJ seemed to be very interested.

I've actually suggested to them having two types of tickets to give away: front row (for which the questions should be hard) and
any other row, for which they can ask the easy mainstream questions like what're the chorus words of Sweet Child.

Great job indeed. leatherebel 

at the same time it'll be a good publicity for the band.
Yay, promote the band and the upcoming album.
