Friends calling me about a new gnr song on radio

[polluxlm]

I'm still thinking the first radio single will show up around January 23rd or so. That would make the album's release date of March 6th still very possible.

All of the stations under our corporate umbrella are already airing singles from new albums set to hit stores in March. So, yes, its very likely and possible.

Not possible or likely, it's what needs to happen if it's to be released early March. Not looking too good though. Time's running out once again.

You'll hear "Better" as the single around the Super Bowl. That's when the Harley ad will re-emerge, or possibly an album promo. Just my thinking.

[don_vercetti]

Surely it'll be at least after Jan 16th, since we know they'll have done some studio time by that point.

Not a bad idea. Makes sense! 

[shadyklyde]

i just heard a song from a band that is releasing an album in march, so yeah, january is still looking good

[ShortShit]

Couldn't you just go to WIOT.com (104.7 website) and see their tracklist or e-mail the dj to ask them?

I showed a friend the demo version of Better and she said she loved it. She will even burn the demo and listen when she is working. She said that she really wants to listen the full studio version. I said "I think that in some weeks this music will be a single... we'll see".

[Mark7955]

yeah i agree that it's the demo but a single shouldn't be far off 

[supaplex]

i think before a single hits the radio we'll get to see the artwork for the album.
and the single might not be available for us to buy. it could be just a release for the radios with a video and the first pressed product available to people might be chinese democracy

I still have a hunch that we've SEEN the artwork...the black image of the Chinese man, in a boat, with a red background that's displayed during the playing of "Chinese Democracy."  I think it could be a cool, iconic album cover, because it's a simple image, and the color red is so connected with China/communism, etc.  Just a thought, but I wouldn't be surprised.  It would be cool if the stained glass shown during Maddy were in the booklet, too.

i didn't say we haven't seen it, i'm just saying it will be made official.
so the first thing i'm expecting is not a single but a press release of some sorts presenting the artwork.

Sorry, wasn't trying to put words in your mouth.  Either way, I think good artwork will be important for this album.  All their previous covers have had bold colors, but simple art.  Striking, and easy to remember.  Especially the Illusions.  That's why I think the on screen imagery when they play Chinese Democracy might make for a good cover.

GN'R played "Chinese Democracy" neither of the times I've more recently been fortunate to see them. So, I'm in the dark on this image. Does anyone have a picture of it they could post or send me? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't remember it specifically and I've never seen that song performed live. Thanks.

Here's a pic that someone posted in another thread:

It's simple, but powerful and I think it would make a damned fine cover.  Just my opinion, though.

[evergreen_layne]

Tis okay.  I'm hoping for something mind-blowing though.

Cool image. I agree. Thanks

[GeraldFord]

I kinda liked the naked chick w/the Devil myself.

If the album comes out in March, we will see something soon. If we are still in the dark by Feb, I think it's safe to rule a March date out. 

[The Legend]

I agree. It's okay, but not mind blowing.

Personally I liked the Warfield poster artwork. That'd make a great album cover. It's like Chinese Democracy meets Use Your Illusion.
