First Single (What should it be + RUMOR)

[Christos AG]

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

this sounds like sarcasm to me

If people wanna use sarcasm, it would be wise to know exactly what the lyrics say...

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

How can we say what the first single should be, we haven't even heard all of the songs yet. Its kind of pointless and ridiculous to predict a single when we dont even know what the songs sound like, besides the 5 we've heard.

[Megaguns]

does anyone think that better is the first single with the b side demos of CITR,IRS &TWAT?
It makes sense that it went to the pressing company and was leaked from there. This shit could have leaked years ago otherwise.

[nesquick]

I would go for IRS. I love it. I think the 1st single should be a rocker.

[Megaguns]

i hope they hand out promo copies of the first single at the NY gigs. whatever it is.

[RichardNixon]

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.

Bingo. Better or IRS should be the single!

[EccoTides]

I have a feeling (not a theory, just a feeling) that the single will be some track we just haven't heard yet, period.  It will have to be something that demonstrates a transition from 'old Guns' to 'new Guns' in the span of 4-5 minutes.  I'm not quite sure how they'll pull that off - but I have full faith in their ability to.

That's my feeling on things. Whatever the single is, it'll need an element of familiarity and surprise in the music - Just as you said, a transitional track that just happens to grab people's interest immediately.

As for the leaks... Better would be the best choice, as it's a perfectly catchy pop/rock tune that has a really aggressive streak. It could crossover very easily between formats, IMO.


Oh, and as for There Was a Time - This song is a masterpiece. Single material, however? Not quite. This is one of those songs that needs to stay on the album, more like a gem to be discovered.

[LaTeRaLuS]

out of the leaks, TWAT would make the best comeback single

[RichardNixon]

They need a rocker as a comeback single. And if it's a balad, it needs to be something not so electronic. TWAT would be a very poor choice as the lead single.

[LaTeRaLuS]

yea id go with a rocker actually, from what insiders have said, prostitute would be a good choice

[DazRose85]

The first single needs to be something quite snappy, and not an epic like T.W.A.T.. I think it would be best if it were a track we haven't heard yet.

[padje]

Personally, at the moment I'm really into CITR. Especially the 'how a body, took a body' part at the end... Its fucking awesome... But that just my humble opinion. As for a song that could re-position GN'R with the majority of the people, I'd go for Better rather than choose TWAT. Lets wait and see...

[Oh My Choking Soul]

The first single needs to be something quite snappy, and not an epic like T.W.A.T.. I think it would be best if it were a track we haven't heard yet.

I couldn't agree more... a new fresh single that will blow everyone away. What the GN'R camp don't need is "Joe Casual Listener" saying, "This sounds like some other song" because he heard the leak and hasn't made the connection that it is the same song he heard months ago. The single need to blow people's minds, the video will be even more important. No dolphins, no CG, what we need is what made them famous... Axl.

[snakepipero]

I also think that the first single to this new axl's band shoul be a rocker track, has to be powerfull and heavy.
But hey guys HOW CAN YOU COMPARE TWAT WITH NR OR ESTRANGED? ARE CRAZY? I WANT YOUR GRASS TO SMOKE MEN!!!!!!
It's a good song but ... I think you should listen NR  or Estranged again

[Butch Français]

something simple and rocking would be the best, maybe even Better is too complex for the average mtv watchers.
Im thinking IRS would probably be the best choice for a first single, even though I like Better better...no pun intended.

[mikegiuliana]

Better hands down.... Would have the best commercial interest imo, and that's what counts on teh radio during a comeback

[St_Jimmyuk]

i think better would be the best first single fo the leaks as it will give a song everyone will like and show the power of new guns which is what is wanted, later on they can release the older style guns songs like TWAT but they need an impact of a first song and i think better would do that best

[The Dog]

I think it'll be a brand new song that nobody has ever heard.

[Steel_Angel]

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