so
what you are saying is
that all of these radio plays
have been most likely OK'd by GNR's managment
Well, while I am not implying that Merck & Co. are secretly allowing this to go down (I hate conspiracy theories), I do find it rather interesting that large market radio stations are playing this, and in the case of WAAF, every hour on the hour. Cease and desist orders are sent with urgency, so even though the post office isn't open on Sunday, they will find a way to get it to the offending parties, be it express courier or a sheriff, and with the amount of exposure this forum and cd.com (the two forums I frequent) get from GnR Management, it seems odd that these stations are still playing these songs. Someone in this thread had mentioned that its a demo, so there's nothing Axl can do, but that's blatantly erroneous. All music played on the radio has to either a.) be licensed by ASCAP, BMI, etc or b.) solicited with the express permission from the performers to play it...neither condition has been met in this case. I could see some random college kids and rogue internet radio stations playing these, but WAAF and 93X? Its just too weird to me.

For stations owned by the big corporations (Clear Channel), you are not allowed to deviate from their setlist of songs. ?Most stations nowadays are run via a computer and you have no control over what's played (aside from DJ cues, in-studio guests, and listener calls), as its all fed into the database beforehand and all you have in front of you is the soundboard and a touchscreen computer monitor with the rotation list queued up with the next 10 songs/commercials listed. ?If you do manage to play something that is not "approved" by the music director, you get a slap on the wrist that is equal to the loss of airtime, promotional audio production, or promotional appearances/free swag (think concert tickets and the ability to see sneak previews for movies, backstage at a concert, interviewing celebs, etc.).

To make a side point, thats why FM sucks, management decides what is to be played. Good luck hearing a great song that doesnt sell really well.
Thats why satellite radio is so cool.

As wide-spread as the leak is, it'll have to be alot of cease-and-disist letters.? Axls lawyers are gonna have to put in some serious overtime.
That is not? true. He can do one to clear channel which owns 90% of radio stations and they can send a bulk email to all their stations saying to stop.
As for the whole DJ thing and what songs are played on WAAF Carrie is the program director thus she is the one who put IRS into WAAFs playlist.

This is for BabyGorilla and the people like him.
Before all my posts about subjective matters there should be an IMO before the post. I took this sig down but of course it has to go back up.

WCCC Hartford which is an independant has not received a Cease and Desist yet. Very very strange.

Maybe they have, how many are reported to played the tracks more than once?
like 2 i think
besides i thought you were in the loop 'Oh My Choking Soul'
why don't you tell us
It was crazy, today on the radio on a Cleveland station, I heard a fucking commercial talking about them playing new Guns N' Roses songs this weekend. It was nuts. A FUCKING COMMERCIAL ON THE RADIO JUST ABOUT THEM PLAYING NEW GNR!!!! That's fucking great!! People in this area are going crazy over this. I played the songs at work today to probably 30 different people and they all loved it. The majority definitely liked 'Better' more than any other song. I have to agree with that. 'Better' is one of the best songs I have heard in years. It makes me want to get up and bang my fucking head on the wall!
