What radio station? I don't get how stations can play leaked songs without consequence...

[mrbucketfoot]

Hmm....I'm feeling quite complainy. So I guess that I'll just say "no comment". 

[Lord Kayoss]

I do know one thing, when the album does finally drop, the last thing I'll be thinking about is a free fucking can of Dr. Pepper.

I might just buy a bottle of it along with my three copies of CD.

[SLCPUNK]

What did they say before they played it? Anything significant?

[Billo]

Lets just hope it comes out soon..an update would be great...
Its all to quiet..

U figure a DJ just snuck it in. Figure the worst he would get would be a warning letter. So playing it once was no big deal to the DJ.

- They said: "He's a pepper, you're a pepper, we're a pepper.."

When Guns N' Roses release their next single, you'll hear about it. You won't just stumble on it on some given radio channel. Trust me. Especially if you follow the GNR fan boards.

Cheers.

HA!  Just sneaking it in, especially on a major market station like KROQ, will get you fired before the song is over.  It was planned.  The music is scheduled at least a day ahead of time and the DJ's have no power as to what's being played.

ive just went to the kroq website and on the request a song section you can request IRS wtf?

No, a playlist is scheduled which DJs can pick songs from. Usually by A, B, C list rotation which goes in order of the frequency that they can be played.

If every song was planned out in order meticulously the day before, what would the point be of listener requests?

because you said so I checked the site to see it wasn't like they had  the song on their list.
To request a song you have to write in the title.

Almost ALL stations
Set music the prior day.
Requests mean nothing.

There is SOME freedom
To change one or another,
But it's rarely used.

Disillusioned me
With my first radio job
Eight years ago....DAMN!

Sorry, but that's incorrect.  I work as a DJ in Miami, FL and have worked in radio for years.  Everything is planned.  They may do a request hour during lunch or something, but even that is mostly planned.  The music is preselected for the day using a program called Selector.  Listeners have no input.

You Sir, are the poet laureate of HTGTH, and as such ... a ray of sunshine in my, otherwise, bleak day.
