GN'R N' Baseball

[shasta]

Guns N' Roses are also delighted to announce that they have partnered with Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLB.COM)

I was watching FOX baseball (Cardinals vs. Brewers) this afternoon and when they went to commercial they started the intro to Sweet Child O' Mine. With the recent press release I don't think this is a coincidence thet they all of a sudden payed a GNR song. FOX is hosting the playoffs and the World Series and if GNR has an agreement with MLB then the promotion started TODAY.

I think they are going to gradually play these songs and then promote the new music/ album through the MLB playoffs. Today was just the start.

[EFISH]

woohoo i can see them going to break with Better!

[LittleFly]

Why couldn't they have picked FOOTBALL (American that is) instead of Baseball?  Yes I'm whining.  I can't watch a baseball game without falling asleep. 

[axl2]

Baseball rules. this was a great idea.

Baseball rules. this was a great idea.

It was a great idea, I agree.  I just can't stand the sport, personally lol.  It's a wonderful promotional tool though 

[Goddamn_Electric]

Baseball rules. this was a great idea.

It'd be a better idea if the White Sox were on path to a repeat!

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

The FOX people like GN'R.  They broke with SCOM during a NASCAR race, and they use Mr. B during football games.  Doesn't mean it was because of the partnership.

No.

My Jays still havent made the playoffs but atleast we locked up 2nd place for the first time in about a decade lol

 Did anyone else get this? Is it because I get updates from MLB.com or Mets.com?

[daubs]

1.MLB has nothing to do with which songs a network plays during their broadcast

2.i love the jays, i didnt think they would make it this year, but its nice that they made it above 3rd for the frist time since 93'.

[Mike McKagan]

The great American pastime, the great American rock band.  What's not to love?

[Bono]

I thought Greenday was the great American rock band

[jesuswithamullet]

I'd like to see Axl sing the national anthem at the World Series.  Dodger Stadium is just a few miles from his house 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

And with the Dodgers now in the playoffs, that would be every fans dream.  Dodger Stadium is where they played Jungle first, and that's when every other team in over other sport starting copying the Dodgers.

[King Sand]

It's great that GNR and Baseball are doing this cross-promotion deal... But I'd really love to see GNR play the Superbowl Half-Time show!  What do you guys think?

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Great idea, I suggested this as well.  Sure would beat watching all those other crappy acts.  The last good show was with U2 after 9/11.

The U2 performace was awesome!  I would love to see GNR get that kind of airtime on live television during such a popular event!

From a marketing point of view this is the best thing one band can get,billions of people from all over the wordl,nothing can top a promo like this.

The Rolling Stones was cool at the super ball.


The MLB thing is great,amazing parthership for GNR and the best suport for the new web site.
Kudos for the GNR manager.

[Acquiesce]

If CD is released anytime soon they will probably promote it on the MLB sites. I know they have done that with other cds such as Bon Jovi's Have a Nice Day.

Just my opinion but I can't see anyway that woudl turn out good.

I think it would be great. They could play Welcome To the Jungle and Better.

yes, yes it was. Possibly the greatest Super Bowl half time show performance of all time.
