A Loooot of GnR playing on KROQ in L.A. lately...

[Axl_owns_dexter]

that's actually what's known as a "Real Rock" formatted station.

Thanks man.  You always know the facts, I'll give you that.     

[Chief]

Yeah, i am in LA and as far as ive known, KROQ never really played any GNR at all... maybe they are shifting formats?

[jabba2]

I think its just because modern rock has become more shitty. So KROQ adds a few classics.

I cant remember the last recent song on the radio i liked besides VR. Its been a few years.

There's a station out here in SPringfield, MA that constantly plays YCBM, Patience, and Used to Love Her...then the djs shit on Axl after they play it I mean, really, you know IF the record ever is released theyll all be crammed up his ass. radio sucks. iPOD forever!

[AxlFink]

ive noticed gnr on a lot on the radio in LA also.  Krock never played them before.   There's only one reason they would start now!

I've yet to hear GNR on KROQ, but 93.1 JACK plays a lot - almost everyday it seems.  They play AFD songs, November Rain, and Patience.  And one time after Patience, the fake DJ said 'wont you cut me some slack'.  It was funny.

Did Tammy Heidi move to Jack from KROQ for good??   It's weird to hear her voice on a different station.

I've yet to hear GNR on KROQ...

I'm thinking the original post may have been off, no other LA members have confirmed.

KROQ is in a bit of a battle with Indie 103.1 for listenership, even though Indie has virtually no signal to speak of. They're making a statement as being the "cool" station of choice, a spot held by KROQ for ages..

Indie plays a little GNR every now and then, nothing in rotation but an occassional spin during
some of their specialty shows nonetheless.

I think it may have more to do with VR than CD coming out anytime soon.  Back in 2002, the Philly and NYC rock stations would play alot of GnRleading up to the concert, but after the riot, Philly stations had it out for Axl.  But with VR now, they seem to be playing more GnR and STP for that matter.

I live in L.A., and all they ever play on KROQ is the Gorillaz and System of a Down.  They play old Guns songs on 95.5 KLOS, but never on KROQ.  Kroq is a crappy ass "rock" station.  Just my two cents.

[privatereserve]

I know whats up with KROQ lately.  Tonight i switched it there which i never do and they were playing Welcome to THe Jungle.  It was sooooo refreshing to here GNR on KroQ which I never heard them play a gnr song ever.

Radio in Atlanta sucks and I mean really sucks.....we don't have a "real rock" station. That's what I'm lookin' for! 99x is doing better but no one will go all the way.

I agree, but 96rock has gotten much better lately. The Braves season is over, and now everytime I turn it on they are playing music. They've cut out a lot of bullshit DJ talking, and now play about 3 or 4 songs in a row with no dead time between songs, it's great.

GNR still gets fairly decent airplay on there as well. Usually KOHD or PC.

[GunnerRose]

Atlanta Radio is the worst in the country. I strongly believe whomever invented XM Radio lived in Atlanta.
You might hear Jungle, PC, SCOM...Atlanta is mostly Hip-Hop, Country, and Latino radio.

damn, all I ever hear is Avenged Sevenfold and that King without a Crown song.

Who was the DJ when it played?  I could possibly see Stryker playing it... (maybe), but I cant see Kat, Jed the fish, or Nicole playing it 

I wonder if GNR was ever played on Rodney on the ROQ.   Did anyone ever see that movie Mayor of the Sunset Strip?

[fear the juggalo]

i live in l.a.
 i saw striker (kroq dj) a few days ago & asked him, why they started playing guns n roses again.(they used to play them on a local show they had back in 86-87, then again when SI came out. down on the farm). he said they tried like hell to get them to play acoustic x-mas this year, but the deal fell through at the last second. but he said none the less they always get a ton of request for them. hope that info helps out.

They played WTTJ today at 3:10 P.M., space usually reserved for the emo stuff.  Is this a sign???
