New info on Wikipedia? (BBC1 rumour)

[FortusGNR21]

Hey guys, I'm new to the board despite having visited here every day for about 5 years now! 

Anyways, I was looking through Wikipedia (yeah I know anybody can put info on there) but there was some info that I thought might be interesting!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Democracy

BBC Radio 1 will announce more news surrounding Guns N' Roses and their future plans on 18th April, most notably the expected single release date, which is currently rumoured to be around 4-6 weeks away. Radio 1 will be the first to announce the news about this new single, but as to clearing up rumours about a reunion, only time will tell.

Sorry, don't know how to quote!! Dunno how relevant this will be at all! But maybe someone could keep an ear out on Radio 1 tomorrow just incase!

Anyone can edit at Wikipedia.

The usual stuff - Wikipedia open for everyone to edit, not the most trustworthy place, yadda yadda.

The same person also added the info to the Guns N' Roses Wikipage:

However, within the next two weeks, there will be some important news about Guns N Roses, which is expected to announce their first single release date since the 1999 track 'Oh My God', which was part of the soundtrack to the thriller 'End Of Days'. It is currently unknown whether the announcement will deal with rumours about former members Slash and Duff Mckagan making a return to the band, but the news will be 'interesting' according to sources.

At least this rumor will die the death tomorrow, since he added a proper date. BTW, his IP address points to Wolverhampton, UK.

This same story has been posted on a couple different message boards.  Guess it will either play out or get squashed on Radio One tomorrow.

The Wikipedia entry for Chinese Democracy is a joke.

I used to help maintain it, but it became too much of a chore.

[A Private Eye]

Well if radio 1 announce anything you can be fairly sure it's going to be accurate, lets wait and see....and hope ?

Yeah, I thought that you were joking too, but I didn't really know, my bad.

if its anyone it will be after 6 (or 7?) pm when zane lowe comes on

[Thorazine Shuffle]

A big 4-6 week buildup to a single sounds like a pretty good plan. ?At least we don't have long to wait.

I actually think there might (although that's a big "might") be something to this.  I have Sirius and get BBC 1.  Since I'm sort of a fan of British rock, I listen to it on occasion.  Lately, they have had some pretty interesting scoops that have not been anywhere else...including live concerts telecast from Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers (including new songs from RHCP).


So who knows.

Yeah I wasn't sure how trustworthy this news would be, just posted in the off chance that we MIGHT get something tomorrow! Fingers crossed huh?!

[ProsperousChili]

The wikipedia edit team is pretty dedicated, so its not too likely that something blatantly wrong could stay up for too long, as for the rumor, it doesn't seem too far-fetched, and its something to look forward too...

Though this is my first comment, I visited this site for the past 3 yrs or so, and its the authority. Thanks.

What pisses me off is that I'm going to be listening to BBC 1 all day tommorrow and I'll miss Stern.  I hope this pays off.

Radio 1 have just ran with a massive RHCP competition where they have been giving tickets away for a one off Radio 1 only concert. ?There have been rumours of the same thing happening with GNR. ?Now Im not saying for a second that the rumour is true but Radio 1 is THE biggest radio channel in the UK...it would be feasible for them to get an exclusive. ?

They have done special shows for plenty of bands including RHCP, Coldplay and U2. ?However of course this could be just a rumour as usual. ?Also they normally run with the news a week in advance...for instance 'tune in on Monday for a very special announcement about GNR etc' and then start it on a Monday morning and run with it throughout the week.
