singles are promotional devices, and this age of !Tunes, and other stuff, singles really dont matter in the true sence, kinda not really as tangable as holding a LP.

If Oh my god is gonna be on the record then i guess that?s the first one..but i don?t think so at all...

I think the first one is gonna be - Better...because it?s the best...And then i think they?ll do Chinese...because i just think so..hehe..Imagine the video..Axl comes down the stairs into a teenage room..Then the others come in and they start playing..great song, great video...

the third one would maybe be IRS ....

Whatcha think ?

Normally, bands usually if they're successful get about 3 singles off of an album I'd say. However, in the case of Guns and Roses and past albums, they far surpass that. This time around though, with a new band and over a decade since the last album? let's see if the general public will hold on to one. It's hard to say whether or not when a single is released it'll be successful. I mean, to us hardcore fans, it's a big deal. To the rest of the world? I don't know. And don't forget, it's not like in the early 90's when UYI was released, the world was listening to rock. Nowadays, they're listening to pop and rap more than anything. So only time will tell

 drool Who knows? Not really worth discussing IMO.  No one can say for sure, and it's not that interesting to speculate about ok

In today's age singles mostly are to tell the radio station which song to play on the radio.  They trust in the band / management that these are their "best songs" as the station won't listen to the whole album and pick their favs out at first.  So at least promotional singles will exist.  The market for singles in North America is brutal at best.  We'll have to count on Europe for consumer singles most likely.

I think singles still matter and carry weight. RHCP 'dani california' for example was all over the place when it came out as i would expect the new gnr single if/when it's ever released.

I don't know about CD though, I think were all going to be a little suprised by the lack of promotion it gets.

I'd say 4 or 5. I believe the record is going to be heavily supported for about a year or 2.

well so far from what we have heard the following could all be singles IMO.

- Chinese Democracy
- Better
- I.R.S.
- The Blues
- Madagascar

I'm going to guess we will have 5 singles, and 3 of them are in that list.
