Radio Stations Playing IRS - TWAT - Better (was WAAf in Boston is playing IRS)

[darknemus]

I, for one, always suggest holding onto TWAT whenever possible.  Otherise, it could slip through your fingers.

Ok, i'm done with the sick double entendres for the time being

Haven't played them yet.? They were added to our system like five minutes ago.? I'm on the air now and I'm begging my PD to let me play them, but it probably won't happen till tonite or tomorrow.? Unfortunately that's corporate radio.

your sister station, waaf.com, is playing IRS every hour.

It's all a set-up-the leaks-heavy radio rotation-festivals announced-quite a strategy

I would have to say, that after 5 days of radio play the cease and desist order would have to be bullshit, this would preety much prove that this was all planned by management

why was the title change and this topic merged?

Because we are not gonna start a new thread every time another radio station plays IRS. If, you hear Better or TWAT, you can post it here as well.

I don't get the play IRS but not TWAT deal. A lot of people agree TWAT is a lot better than IRS. Even if it would be a "good idea" or whatever to hold onto TWAT, it doesn't really show people what the new band can do, in my opinion.

the question was not about another station playing it, the question was why after 5 days and a 'SUPPOSED" Cease and Desist order is WAAF still playing it?

I fully agree with you.  However, I am certain there's a reason some stations are still being 'allowed' to play IRS (even if on the downlow) and that's because the other songs aren't being played yet.

Speaking of being played, I think we're ALL being played by GNR management on this.

It is very odd that radio stations are still playing it...

darknemus is right, there playing us like cheap fiddles.. cheap fiddles my friends

^^^I agree. ?it's kinda nice cause there were so many people on the board saying like "Who else is pissed that tracks are being played on radio" etc.

it's been obvious all along that this is a promotional stunt.

What's your theory on how we're being played? Do you mean in respect to management telling us they don't want the leaks but doing next to nothing about them? Or is there something else?

If those are the final two mixes of IRS and TWAT, I will be HIGHLY HIGHLY disappointed in the album. There are huge obvious flaws in the production-lack of drums-Axl's voice buried in spots-some blatantly out of tune guitar playing at the beginning of TWAT. Just very poor mixing in general. Management didn't leak this but they must figure the demos are a good taste. At least I hope.

I don't think they are final mixes, at all. 

Anyone else notice that the version of IRS being played on WAAF sounds alot.. cleaner than the one we have?  Food for thought.

it might be played under an eq

After Used To Love Her, they said that they were going to play IRS again until managment told them to stop.  Obviously managment didn't give a C and D.  It should be playing soon.

Now listening to WAAF, they are just talking about IRS again (after playing UTLH): "THe DJ's are telling they were doubting it first, but are liking it more and more. They will have IRS again later on.

Crisis Management...... Merck is letting the radio stations play the song because he knows that if he tells them to stop it the ball will stop rolling. Unfortunatly these leaked tracks seem to have forced the camp into accelerating the release process.

I went to Vegas this weekend and i must have heard IRS about 20 times there and back, on various different radio stations. The first time i heard it was when setting of from San Diego and to be honest it sounded shit on the radio, the MP3 compression really hurt the song! Saying that though the response the song got was amazing, out of 100 people who phoned in there were only 2 people who said they didnt like it one of them purely because everyone else liked it, so basically the reaction to the song was very very positive. The one thing that did piss me off though, and this was a common among all the stations we tuned in to on the 6 hour trip. Every fucking station referred to this as "the new Guns n Roses single". Obviously the people who emailed the song in didnt bother to put forward the point that this is a 3 year old Demo, shame! I just hope it doesnt put casual listeners off!
