New Single Before Tour?

[dont_damn_me]

I think if there is no new single before the tour resumes then the CD wont be out before at least another legnthy break in the touring schedule...probably resulting in an 08 release. I can believe I honestly thought this was coming out in spring of 1999. I used to be a wealth of knowledge in terms of GNR info for my friends, now noone believes a word I say, its just a joke now.

I hear ya bro!!! who would have thought i'd be this long!!!  But its coming soon and don't worry those old friends will be back on board as soon as they hear CD!! We'l have the last laugh i'm almost sure of that.

Yeah..I was talking to the PD of the rock station in the building here at work, and my friend (who loves GN'R) who DJ's on the station.

They played Better twice yesterday. The PD said that he thought it was mediocre, and my friend said that the listeners didn't like it at all.

Fucking idiots (the listeners) if you ask me!

i hope so, but i cant see it happening....if it does, i'll buy a round of drinks for all board members in nyc.....

WAAF in boston keeps playing it really frequently and is calling it the new single.

I feel pretty good about us having a single prior to the tour.


A single? They still sell those right?? 

It's been years since I've bought one.

Iron Maiden put out at least two single, on cd, from their album released last fall...so, yes, they still sell them.  Though I'm sure that a radio/video single is probably more important than what they actually sell on cd.

At least where I live in Canada, if you wanted to find singles, you'd have to go to a pawn shop or used CD store

Any of the HMVs or Sunrise Music stores Ive been in no longer sell singles in store.

I haven't bought one for probably ten years, either, but I just saw Iron Maiden - A Different World (off A Matter of Life and Death) at a Best Buy, two days ago.  I'm betting with itunes and all that stuff, they'll disappear relatively soon.

That could get kind of expensive, couldn't it?     

[patmac54]

i think singles are big in europe. last single i bought was Sympathy for the Devil at a Sunrise Records back in 94 or whatever year it came out who knew that would be the last GnR release for 13 years

Haha, I would like to see where that assumption stems from. We do have internet too you know

my post was kinda in addition to axlmainman's that you cant get cd singles in canada...unless they are used...or you buy them online. but stores don't really carry them.

i think they are popular in Europe though...am i right? or are cd singles pretty much non-existant everywhere these days didnt mean to sound ignorant

i guess so, but i highly doubt i'll be buying anyone drinks.....there will be no single, no cd before the tour starts.......believe me, i hope i lose............

They're pretty non existant where I'm from, and my country follows the rest since we're so small. Usually a tiny section with cardboard singles from a few selected shit stars. I think you can get on the top 20 with only 300-400 copies sold.

at least you got a cd-singles section

anyway back on topic...these days i'm thinking a single may be released to radio stations only for air play...but i wouldnt expect it any longer than a week or 2 before the album comes out....just a guess on my part of course

[ppbebe]

I can't see the band releasing a single without having an official date for the album.
And the album will be released as shortly after a notification in regard to a new date as possible.

so I think neemo is guessing right.

You're on!  See ya in NY before the next show at the Garden.

Never thought I'd say this, but I would have a hard time buying a ticket for the Garden again, without the new album out , or a setlist that consists mostly of new material.

Went in 02' , made it through the snowstorm to get there, and the show was unreal. Worth every minute.
Went to Hammerstein this year, and the show was incredible.
Went to Garden in November, and was really let down.  I'm not the richest guy in the world, but I try to go whenever possible to see the shows.
Dishing out more cashish to watch him play Appetite again may be a tough call -
