How is the promotion in your city?

[axlrosehunny]

In Edmonton here and I think most of Canada the shows are being promoted by the House of Blues Concerts.  I am kinda anoyed at some of the radio spots I have heard...

"This may be your last chance to see Axl Rose." 
"Hear Axl Rose sing all the classic GNR songs, such as..."

Basically they are promoting this as the Axl Rose band and not as Guns N Roses.

I think this is just to get in some of the old fans.  But I say FUCK THEM.  This is Guns N Roses.

So is this how they are promoting it in your city?

Meh, mainly on the radio talking about GNR in Baltimore.  They do say Slash won't be there which I like.  But they don't have anything bad to say about them, at least what I've heard on 98 Rock.

None in Houston, mostly beause there is no Houston date...yet. Or at least that what i keep telling myself.

I live in Bellingham which is 45 min south to Everett and I haven't heard anything im sure in major markets in WA Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, ect but I've been hyping it up at my work and trying people to get tickets.

nada

I was listening to the radio earlier and it there was a commercial type thing announcing the Chinese Democracy World Tour. It was pretty cool, got me excited.

I live in Manitoba, btw.

I'm also a member of Ultimate-guitar.com , under the same name, and when GNR started touring all the comments under their news stories were 90% "New GNR Sucks" and "Axl Rose is an A-Hole", but now that US dates have been announced, the band is doing great, and the album seems eminent, 80% of the comments are postive ones. The general public who knows about GNR think of them more positivley than they did before. Except for the occasional "Axl Roses is dead right?"

[nesquick]

Axl Rose is dead right?"

lol, I've heard it 1 billion times aswell. It's part of the myth i guess...

[mdttkk]

well, this might be my only chance of seeing axl rose since i dont have the money/time to travel to see guns n roses perform elsewhere.  2nd time to edmonton ever for them too

[King Sand]

I live in Tampa, FL... Not much on the radio as far as promotion...  On our Classic Rock station, they are giving away tickets to the show...  Our new rock stations are giving away tickets too, but the DJ's never have anything positive to say about GNR... They mostly rehash the old stories.... And make fun of Axl's braids...

[crazycanadian]

The radio station here www.rock106.ca talks about the Concerts Comming to Calgary and about Chinese Democracy comming out before the New Year.One DJ tells everyone that they fired the guy that weres a buket of chicken on his head.Also says there is 50/50 chance GNR shows up.

[BigDeech]

Its all over the radio stations in NY.

[Chief]

well i dont listen to the radio much in LA so i'm not sure about that but i looked on the kroq website and the webmaster is a slacker because they aren't even listed on there yet!!!

and of course its not on KLOS calendar since they love to promote shows like REO speedwagon and foreigner!!! (ironic because they do play GNR and probably have more so than KROQ)

Third time actually. They opened for the Cult way back in the 80's But yeah second time as headliners.

Nothing in LA yet.

[Drew]

There is absolutely no promotion here. And there's good reason why there isn't any.

- No album release date.
- No local tour date announcement.

[Lisa]

I have only heard one brief blurb on the radio...it was two radio personalities asking each other if GnR was REALLY coming or if their emial was a joke...other then that NOTHING

[Eclipsed107]

I haven't heard anything, but the show I'm going to is almost 100 miles away, I'd assume that they're promoting it in the NYC, Meadowlands NJ area though.

Well I don't listen to the radio, primarily because it sucks and most of it is controlled by Clear Channel or similar conglomerates which can frankly go fuck themselves for telling me what I want to listen to. In general GNR does get a lot of airplay in Canada though, especially out west, but even around Toronto I hear them quite a bit on Q107 and 97.7. I think I might have heard them on 102.1 once in my life, but the Edge has pretty much turned to shit anyhow, they were always the alternative station, anti-anything prior to 1990, and after "alternative" died (i.e. no more Nirvana, Alice in Chains, etc.), instead of embracing good shit they embraced whatever garbage was trendy at the given moment (they'll play emo shit over Tool, Pearl Jam, and Audioslave etc. at this point, despite those bands having more listeners and bigger shows).
