First Single (What should it be + RUMOR)

[TrixAreForKids]

i heard prostitute was gonna be their next single and they might film the music video in may 15th...?

You know it, and I'll be in the front row.   

[circusboy666]

i think it will actually be either irs or chinese democracy. this album is going to release single after single and they will probably start with catchy tunes instead of the best songs on the album.

[circusboy666]

you cant release better with bucket on it as the first single. possibly if someone has rerecorded or redone his parts. it makes no sense to release this as a single when the best part of the song(bucket) isnt even around.

[DMJ]

a song we havent heard yet

[Ana Vader]

I hope for better, but  TWAT and IRS maybe gonna be the first single. I wish that they gonna released lots of singles and lots of videos

[LaTeRaLuS]

i strongly believe the 1st single will be one that we have not yet heard

[Scree]

I have no clue what the first single will be, but I will have to throw my hat into the "it's gonna be a rocker and not a ballad" camp.

[ppbebe]

I hope for better, but  TWAT and IRS maybe gonna be the first single.

How about 3 first singles at the same time...with the same song for the other sides...

[COMAMOTIVE]

I hope for better, but? TWAT and IRS maybe gonna be the first single.

How about 3 first singles at the same time...with the same song for the other sides...

I throw my hat into the ring of a Ballad that is also a rock epic track. I think Better would be a good choice, but after it's been circulating the web for so many months, I'm doubting any of  the leaks will be the first single. If they come with something hard, it has to be mind-blowing. If they go with a piano-based tune, people will hear it and immediately think " This is Axl Rose's vision " instead of " This is Axl Rose trying to re-create Appetite ( which is bull-shit anyway, but you KNOW some asshole journalist is going to write it up like that

[Krispy Kreme]

I think it has to be rocker. That is the formula: rocker, ballad. Or rocker, rocker, then ballad. I would not mind CD or Better as the first, but whatever it is it has to be catchy to the masses.

Actually Asshole journalist don't contribute to the record sales much. They are for geeks.
The masses do. SCOM appealed to the general public. the song itself with the help of the Video did the job.

[Scabbie]

I think too bigger deal is made of singles.

Follow Led Zepplin's lead, only release albums.

If you have other stuff, stick it onto eps.

I do too, I think there is absolutely no way that Axl would let the first single off his 10 year in the making album leak to us, or even be played live.

Altough Better would be an amazing single, because it is very different from old Guns music, and it also doesnt sound forced. Axl could have tried to make another Jungle or Paradise, but it would have never lived up to the old. Better is a perfect choice.

It will be Better or a song that only Guns N' Roses has heard.

and we still dont have the first single 

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Better is the best lead single of the new material.  It catches your attention immediately and it's true to the spirit of GnR's best singles from the past.  It reminds me a lot of SCOM, not musically but in the way that it immediately stands out and catches your attention with the intro, and the way that it somehow manages to be pop and kick ass at the same time. 

I think that TWAT and The Blues are better songs, but TWAT is a little too long and complex for a single.  The Blues is a great single and is a perfectly constructed song, but it doesn't immediately jump out and grab you like Better, it's more subdued and moody

[D]

The first single will not be any song we've heard so far.


So its impossible to say.

[fridayfan13]

i think Better will be the first single. not one show has gone without it

[JB9988]

TWAT or IRS but really i dont fucking shive a git as long as they put something out soon.

[-Jack-]

I hope the single is something we havent heard...

[cybercurves]

I think Better, IRS and Madagascar will all be singles.  But as long as the album keeps selling at a long pace without slowing down, the more singles we will hear
