I don't know if this has been addressed yet, but here goes...
Remember how Axl was a D.J. named "Tommy Nightmare" in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas?
And how Welcome To the Jungle was in the game as well?
...Well does anyone know if Axl will be back as Tommy Nightmare in GTA IV?
...It would also be pretty cool to have a song like "Better" on one of the radio stations in the game, good promotion too

It could happen, but generally there's very few radio personalities that get carried over from each game. Keep in mind each game takes place in different time periods.
It would be an awesome platform to profile a new GNR song, considering this will be one of, if not the biggest game of the year. You're guaranteed 4-5 million people hearing your song. Seems like video games are a solid choice in promoting a band's music nowadays. Just look at what the Guitar Hero series has done for many forgotten and unknown bands.
Cheers,
Andrew

Exactly, Axl would be extremely genius to put a new tune in GTAIV.........last year Video Games outgrossed the film industry by a shitload and it's expected to be the same this year. GTAIV will be the biggest game of the year no doubt, what a better what to get the new song out there..........have it played in the ads or on the game's menu screen. That would be brilliant.

hmmm i'll be damned, i knew Axl played a role in the game but i guess i never relised that he was actually Tommy N
i think since WTTJ was on a hard rock station they should have maybe something like Ryiahd and the Bedouins ya know something short and heavy and then on a soft rock station like Tommy manned they could have Patients
that'd be cool

Qute a good idea actually, it would be a good way for the record company to promote CD without having to spend excess money on marketing a single/promotion..............

I heard a rumor that it was done but the developer was holding it up somehow.

Somewhere in San Adreas Axl actually says something like, "I've always said, all you need is a little
patience
"

A new song would be appropriate. The soundtrack for GTA IV is targeted to be fresh music often from unheard indy artists. If Axl's people got in contact with Rockstar, I'm sure they'd be glad to put a song in on one of the stations. It's mutually beneficial. Big video game reinvented for the next generation, GNR is back to rock a new generation just the same.

Do you know anything about GTA? The soundtrack is targeted to be part of the era that they are doing Vice City was straight 80's , SA was early 90's type grunge and early gangsta rap.

Yes I do, I've played every game from start to finish. I understand that San Andreas was a WTTJ-era song. Actually it was somewhat inappropriate as the game was set in 1992 and "You Could Be Mine" or "November Rain" would qualify as the main songs at the time. However, Jungle is and was a great and recognizable song so whatever.
The point is GTA IV is set in the present day. That's why the music is geared towards underground artists. There isn't much going on in mainstream music. Sure there is some. Rockstar has always found a great balance in their Soundtracks and encompassing the scope from the whole era, not just synth-pop from the 80's Vice City or the grunge/gangster rap 90's San Andreas.
GTA IV is aimed to be culturally relevant to the times. GNR is still musically relevant. Therefore, a song from 'Chinese Democracy' would be appropriate.

Sorry but a track from an album that hasn't come out is not going to make it into the track list , Rockstar will ( sadly ) probably get whats going on currently in the rock scene
Fall Out Boy , MCR , Panic , Nickelback , Kid Rock
But I'm sure they'll chalk it full with great classic rock stations , now that I think of it another GN'R song ( on a classic rock station format ) is possible. Eh but doubt they'll use anything from CD.

Rockstar doesn't put in what's popular. They have taste. They put in music that is good and fits the mood.
I'd be shocked if they had shit bands like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, or any of the other hipster bullshit.

Hey ! Their ain't nothing wrong with MCR.
Guns having a song in the game would be cool , but also be kinda pointless , unless it were something
no one has heard live or thru leaks.

I agree that marketing the new "single" would be smart on this game, seeing as how it will sell like crazy, but like some peolpe have already mentioned each game takes place in a different era.
It wouldn't make sense for a song like "better" to appear in this game if it takes place when that type of music wasn't common place, which is the same argument for why Axl couldn't return as the DJ.
Bottom line, don't expect Axl or a new song from GNR to appear in the game.
Though I do think they will try and find some big name person(or as close to a big name as they can find) to do something on a radio show for the game.

this might be a bit off topic, but still relavent IMO. Has anybody tracked down the audio of Axl DJ'ng in San Andreas? I loved playing that game and had all of Axls lines memorized. Does anybody here have the audio of him from the game?
