No Possible #1 Hits out of the Leaked Tracks?

[gnr_12]

Ha... go back to the other thread and read what I fucking read you fucking moron.
I know music ain't about chart position and record sales... I'm just saying that there might be no #1 hits out of these leaks.

Nov Rain was never #1 either. Most good albums dont have #1 hit singles since most rock bands dont put out singles. Singles are for shit R and B and boy/girl bands that make music that they think people want to hear. Axl makes its for himself.

Umm... Did I say November Rain was #1?
And if Axl wants a shot in hell of recreating past glories he better promote the fuck out of this album and release a shitload of singles. This is a new generation... Singles are what makes or breaks a bands chances at mainstream success. Remember they lost alot of fans when Slash and co. quit the group (I don't know one guitarist that is crazy about Axl + Friends like you guys are) and the long ass down time didn't help either.

hehe i know one who would love to get back with Axl... his name is Izzy Stradlin.. Too bad Axl Turned him down at his mansions gates:S.... imagine those two hooked up... Izzy would have been lead guitars if slash didnt come along...

Dear Da_Pope:

Go back to the fucking Matt Sorum, I mean, VR board!! You don't know your fucking dick from your asshole.? You dig??

Matt Sorum=Yoko Ono without a soul.

Music is not about charts, it's about soul, something you would have no clue about.? VR=dead!

Well after a grammy, successful tours, and a multi-platnium album, VR must be doing something right.

Hmmm. ?Same could be said for...........Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys!!! They have had huge tours and won grammies, are they in your cd player right now? ?because that is what you seem to judge quality on. ?Gee, ?GN'R with Slash and the rest never won a grammy, so VR is obviously superior to the original lineup. and so is britney spears and kid rock and every other manufactured piece of shit on the music scene. ?Grammy nods, Platinum records don't mean a goddamn thing. ?If you need to use that to defend your point, you may as well not even post because you lose all credibility. ? Congratulations, you just constructed an argument with absolutely no merit!

The only #1 hit GnR ever had was SCOM anyway

Better, IRS, Catcher In The Rye, TWAT, could all potentially be #1 on the rock charts

November Rain was #1 in Columbia for 60 weeks.


None of the leaks will get to #1 imo at least top 10/20 though.



Will you people stop with your blah blah fucking blah CRAP.

VR SuX oMg aXL wILL rUlE TeH WoRLd.


You can like both NuGnR & VR (YES it is possible to like both). Both new bands are nothing compared to the original GnR but I don't care I'll still support both bands because I like both.

That's my opinon, you don't like it hey fine, you don't like NuGnR or VR then good for you, but when you go around comparing the bands with immature shit it just makes yourself look like an arse.

[Wooody]

madagascar [not maddy!!] has no1 potential. also since they played it at the vma's, so a lot of people heard it, and they'd recognizue it when it'd come out as a single

What is wrong with Maddy ? I kinda like Maddy, it's like a cute nickname given with love to someone you adore.

Grammys dont mean shit. AFD never got a Grammy does that mean that Contraband is better than AFD?

nothing vr did means anything, but when cd wins something it'll be celebrated like crazy here... Remember everyone that wins a grammy because the music scene is watered down ,when axl wins one it's because he was a genius

I know dave you were one that was saying grammy's mean nothing when the vr section was happy, or top single in mainstream rock  or modern rock charts means nothing... SO lets ee if one of the new songs goes to the same place if you'll be saying ah who cares anyone can do it..

[D]

Im not sure bout a number 1 hit on the billboard charts since SCOM is the only number 1 but i am positive that madagascar wouldve hit number 1 on the mainstream rock chart and IRS reached #49 on a national radio trade magazine chart and it was a fuckin demo.

better would be number 1 on mainstream as well

[thelostrose]

i don't think one of the leaked tracks will be an #1 in the US. the album itself of course. the tracks are awesome, but nowadays its not easy to get a number 1 single if doesn't sound like the typical melting pot which can be found in the charts (not only in the US).

i just wonder why some of you think blues or maddy will be #1. axl won't even put them out as singles.

[Axl_owns_dexter]

I agree, he might have a few top hits on the rock charts, but hitting number one on the overall charts requires you to be black dude or a hot ass white chick.  Last I checked, Axl was neither, but no problem, his shit is still going to sell 4 million plus, bank on it.!   

[manjuice]

 If Dre releases Detox this fall you can be certain CD will be delayed even more. Seriously, Nothing will be able to compete with Detox, it's going to be huge.

There is no "Rock" charts or "Mainstream Rock" charts or whatever, there is just ONE charts for me, the real one: The Top 40.
The 40 best silling singles and/or albums, no matter the music style (rock, rap, hip-hop, Rn'b, pop). That's the only "real" charts for me.

[Neemo]

the only chart that matters to me is the one in my fucking head. If i like it i don't care if the rest of the word doesn't like it, Fuck'em,? I'll just listen to it in my headphones

And I like both VR and GnR too!!! OMG!! What is the world coming too??

 

[Luigi]

I can believe this post....Are you stoned?? or been purposely stoned. Yessss there will hit after hit.

I never said VR was better than the origional GNR. And as a matter of fact, I was just listening to VR in my car last nite so fuck off man. I bet that the second Axl wins a grammy or when CD goes platinum, you, and many others here, will be saying how great he is and all that crap. I never said that a grammy was sooo great but, its more than Axl has done in the last few years.

Same here, I was just trying to state that "other" people like VR. But I guess thats too much to handle for some of these Axl lovers.

Didn't "Slither" reach #1 for Velvet Revolver on the Billboard charts?  I think "The Blues" has huge potential.  That's a song that can be played on rock stations, top 40, the whole gamut.  I love'em all though.  Haven't heard CITR yet, can't find it anywhere, and only 2:26 of Better.

[nesquick]

I think "The blues" could be #1 (faster version of course), and a shorter version of "Madagascar" (radio edit) could be #1.
"IRS" could make a Top 10.

why does the blues have to be faster?  if it was faster i think it would lose some of its energy and emotion

I think anyone that thinks Guns is gonna just come back and all of a sudden have 3 or 4 #1 singles on an album full of 6 minute songs is crazy. There will be hits, but I seriously doubt a #1, especially in America. Hard Rock is not popular music right now at least in the States. By the way I'm not being an asshole basher, it just isn't gonna happen. Honestly I'd be surprised if it even hits #1 on album sales charts.

I agree that it will be hard to have a #1 hit but I think the album will hit # 1 at some point. Hell that crappy greatest hits CD went to # 3 if I remember correctly.

[neon2002]

Guys.. first of all how can you say better is too hard? secondly theres only 1:20 heard of the song,.. who knows if there isnt some SCOM of NR? type solo lingering in the 3 or 4 minute mark of the song? thats right think about it.. a song that good deserves a DIRTY solo.. the only thing is, the solo would have to be one like no other.. like people will be jamming to this song and hear that solo and just be amazed like how you feel when u hear SCOM or Estranged or NR.. u know? thats the key to these songs.. AXL could make a hit with any band playing behind him cuz of his vocals.. but in order to create a? monster track.. a solo is needed... thats that.

Madagascar, the blues, etc cant measure up to the old GNR.. and ure right only SCOM made the #1 mark.. so unless TWAT gets a make over or better has a surprise ending for us.. there arent many #1's... but im fine withthat... cuz im not too much of a comercial fan? n e ways.. people are gonna buy this CD for the name.. i love the music.. thats all i ask for 13 great songs... not 13 #1's cuz ive heard #1 songs i hate.. Brittney Spears... Backstreet Boys anyone? lol.... Even Bands like nickelback and all the EMO crap.. a new GNR album just means salvation for us..

There was also a 2:09 minute version followed shortly by the full version @ 4:56.

[neon2002]

CITR can be a #1 hit easily.

Agreed. At least on the Rock Chart.

[Thorned Rose]

Well any song Gn'R releases as a single will hit #1 on the mainstream and modern rock charts... that's easy for them.

Overall charts... a top 40 would be nice.
