[DoubleTalkingJive]

Yep...my friend just im'd me, telling me his friend heard a new song by GNR on Kroc.

[BLS-Pride]

And to think it all started with these forums.. some power eh?

[GnR-NOW]

so if radio stations are playing a unreleased gnr song without management responding, then something definetly has to be going on right?

If they are coming down on the forums, they would have to come down on the radio stations...one would think anyway.

KXXR (93x) in Minnepolis just played both songs.  The DJ's Loved them, but they made fun of the intro to Better and the lyrics to IRS.  They said that maybe if Axl wasn't calling so many people (in the lyrics to IRS) he'd have more time to finish the album.  It really made me laugh.

107.3 WAAF Boston played IRS at about 6:30 pm Thursday
Mistress Carrie.

She has been bashing Axl since the day GN'R ceased to exsist. She said it didn't sound like Axl.

AAF sucks ass! They have been playing shit like Linkin Park, Creed, Godsmack (who they love) and Limp Bizkit for the past 6+ years, fuck AAF. WBCN is by far the best station of Boston.

Kinda funny I got up this morning to here WTTJ and Puddle of MuDD right in a row. I thought it was funny after hearing a rumor that Wes is the one that may have leaked it.Wonder if they are going to play the leaks later?? Well I won't be listening so I may never find out.

[Mr.Bootlegs]

Wes from POM leaked these??? WTF?

[pilferk]

Then again, Axl is his own worst enemy. Too long is too long. He has talked about an album since 1997. If he wants to cut this shit off, take your best cut and send it out to radio within the next month. No promotion no advance warning...just send it out and let it fly. That is all the promotion it will need. New quality Gnr will shut the majority of people up.

Absofuckinglutely.

If anyone on this forum wondered how much promotion CD would need...you now have your answer.

A leak playing on radio stations all across the continent in a MATTER OF HOURS.

Promotion?? Promotion?

CD isn't going to need it.? It's going to get so much publicity, it'll promote itself.? .

Drop a single...a real, official single...out of the blue and Axl would be done.? Promotion over.

Edit: Changed country to continent courtesy of my friend Nemo's correction.

I'd be surprised.

I think the "Wes" username was a "homage" to Wes Arkeen.

But that's just a guess.

Right on Pilferk I've been saying that for a couple years

and it wasn't just the USA it was Canada too

Now that's funny!

99X in Atlanta just played the Better clip and part of IRS...

[sandman]

97.5 "the hawk" in philadelphia.

this was interesting because they are a classic rock station who never plays gnr. which lends even more credence to the point pilferk just made about promotion. 

they played it on their morning show today around 8:30. they spent a good 20 minutes talking about the songs, the new lineup, etc.  they were totally clueless about who was/is in the band and what's been going on. they even took a bunch of phone calls to discuss.

their morning guys are annoying....the two main guys call themselves "free beer" and "hot wings". they were critical of the fact that axl is calling this band gnr, and said people won't be fooled if CD is ever released. they said the general public will want to know where slash is.

but they gave the clips a fair listen and had a positive opinion of them overall.

I think this is a serious PR issue....the general public REALLY doesn't know much about GNR....my buds and I went to the MSG show in 2002 and I had to explain to them who buckethead was etc.....they LOVE AFD and the big UYI songs but just aren't that into the band to follow them the way most of here seem to.  Of course, everyone loved the show, but i must have heard, "its not the same without slash" a MILLION times from my friends.

Great concert btw.

93x in Minneapolis is apparently going to play the full I.R.S demo between Noon and 1pm  They also played bits of both leaked demos earlier today.  They are a station that received a "cease and desist" order from Tool management for playing a song from Lateralus before it was released  so they have a history of being naughty
