No.
Although releasing Madagascar as a single around MLK day would be cool seeing how his legendary "I Have A Dream" speech is in the song.

It would be very cool, but I don't think it's going down just yet. I'm hopeful for something within the first 5 weeks of the new year. If the album is on schedule for early March, mid-January through mid-February is prime single time. Keep those fingers crossed.
Also, I think Madagascar is a great track and would make a very good single...just not a good FIRST single. Something harder, followed by Maddy or The Blues as a second single. If there's one thing we know, it's that GNR can get a LOT of singles off the albums. The Illusions had around 8, by my count, not to mention songs that GNR is famous for that weren't singles (KOHD...wasn't a single, was it?). I'd count on four to five good singles from this album.

Are singles even... that much of the musical business model anymore? Especially in harder rock?
MTV doesn't play videos anymore... MTV-TWO doesn't play videos anymore... you go to a record store, the singles section is shrinking and mostly just dance music and some rap... I mean, does it even make sense? While the album is still viable, if you want just the one song, you just download the song.
You can even do that LEGALLY, these days, if you're one of the ten Boy Scouts out there who does it that way.
"Chinese Democracy" is gonna sell or not sell on the strength of how many people still believe in Axl Rose's ability to make a good album... not on a single or a video or over-the-air radio play or anything like that. It'd be the first GNR album in fifteen years, that'll make its own press once it's actually on its way to stores...
Press, word of mouth, touring and pent-up desire for a new album'll be what sells or doesn't sell the album.
As much as I'd like to drop six bucks at a record shop for a new GNR single, too, for the purposes of that album in this media climate, it'd be largely a vanity thing on the memory of getting the UYI singles back when the single still made sense as a marketing tool that could also turn a buck.

You make some good points. When I say "single," I don't necessarily mean something you go out and buy, as much as an early song released to radio and/or tv. I DO think a strong single is a good marketing tool. It reinforces the belief in Axl's ability to make a good album. A shitty first single and we all say, "I waited a decade for THIS!"
I wouldn't buy a single, either. I'll buy the album, so have no need for a single on disc, unless it had a REALLY cool b-side.

To be highly optimistic... I would say that the single should come out no earlier than January 15th, and no later than February 7th.

the single will probably be released either 1 week or 2 weeks before the album is released, to generate hype for the album.

the world is not limited only to intetrnet...
it takes more than a week to make the news go around the world, especially when diferent broadcasting stations need to get the audio/video.
single cant be released only 1-2 weeks before the album.
bands usually release it months in advance...
Depeche mode released their single 3 months before "playing the angel"...
so we should get the single no later than feb.6th if the march 6th date is still standing.

There are Many ways to promote a release, Magazine Interviews, Paid for adverts, Radio Stations playing the forthcoming single. IMO releasing a single to the public 5 weeks before the album is actually released is not a good idea.

Just put it up online, either for free or for a fair prize. One song. Everyone gets to it easily. Who the fuck goes to a record store anymore anyway.

If it's honestly March 6th, 2007...than I would anticipate a single around the last week of January, or by the first week of February at the latest.

I personally think the best move that could be made is to just post a song and then a live performance of the same song on their website. Then send it out to all the good online mags. But I would just be happy with a song showin up on their website with an official release date for the album.
