I think of the first single off of an album in the same vain as a teaser trailer for a movie. Make it short, grab the listeners/viewers attention, leave them wanting more.

None of the full demos fit into this category. "Better" might but with only 2 minutes available, its hard to tell. From what we have heard "Chinese Democracy" would fit what I have in mind best. Listening to the radio promos from 2002, that opening guitar riff definitely got my attention.

I would tend to think its something we havent heard yet, though.

OK, thanks for the info. The last time I was online, it was said that the full "Better" that was floating around was a fake.

Edit: Ok after hearing the full "Better" it is easily my favorite of all we have heard since 2002, but it doesnt fit into what I initially said. Close to 5 miutes with that edit is too long. The 1st single should be somewhere around 3:30 - 4:00. Whet their appetites and leave them wanting more.

If TWAT is the first single, CD is dead on arrival. You dont reintroduce yourselves to the masses with something like that. Better is clearly the best choice so far. Its a catchy little pop song, and is the perfect vehicle to help launch CD into the stratosphere.

Yeah, you've got a point. TWAT is too complex for the casual listener.

I really don't think twat and NR should be compared. Twat is a great song, but NR IMO is the best song of the 90's. It's a true masterpiece.

They need to make a straight-up rock song the first single to get mainstream rock on the bandwagon, and then maybe they could release TWAT. Then again, you know how the public felt about Estranged as a single.

TWAT is a little more down the road I think. The first single has to be a rocker and a home run.

Congrats to Younggunner!!  Happy birthday.  That's how life should be!   yes

  Since we haven't heard all the songs, I'd give the edge to Better if it's smoothed out a bit.  If the songs stayed for the most part the same, I'd say IRS.  I think TWAT will be the one that goes down in history as the biggest classic...it's a "big gun" to me.  love 

  It all depends on what GNR wants.  Do they want to appeal to the masses?  The masses prefer music (usually short radio-friendly songs) with melodies that get stuck in their heads.  For example Photograph by Nickelback.  I say screw the masses and record sales and just release the album.  Okay...now reality, of course they'd like to get their music out to alot of people.  Gimme The Blues!!!  Followed up with a clean and powerful IRS BABY!!!!!YEEEEEAH!!!   Grin

better could be a first single if they chopped out the 2:20 to around 3:40 mark.... otherwise it would be an awful choice for a first single. the average radio listener needs something catchy, and wuick.... nothing to deep. just look how estranged did on the charts. even novmember rain didn't do that well considering gnr were the biggest band in the world at the time.

Something in the vein of sweet child but even shorter would be the best choice for a first single

depends on where you`re talking about...  it was at #1 in colombia for a year i think for example... and is considered as gnr`s best song in most countries.....


i guess prostitute will be the first single...

Better would be a good single, even with the middle section.  Although that would hurt it on Top 40 radio, it would get many spins on rock radio.  What I think they should do is release a The Blues as a single with Better or a hard rocking song as the B-side, The Blues is a very radio friendly song that would get played on rock stations and on Top 40 and pop stations and get the band a lot of exposure, and meanwhile Better would be getting plenty of play on modern rock stations, that way all the bases are covered.  Their second single should be the best song on the album

IMO TWAT should be the first single. Its mind blowingingly brilliant. Its better than NR and Estranged. It would goto straight to No.1
GNR have gone to a new musical level. "lonely tear drops are calling me" - awsome stuff
