My Local station isn't playing the song enough IMO. Haven't heard it for a while now and I want to be able to listen to it at work and what not. Email these people. Anna Zee makes the most sense to email.

Thanks Guys.

PS Please respectfully request it.

I actually participated on 'The Barry Interesting Survey' on 102.1 The Edge Toronto. I had a happy, positive comment that he cut off. It seemed since he didn't care for the song personally, he only played the 'haters' responses and I posted as much on his blog and on the survey with the link above.

Pump Your Own Octane top 5 tonight, on Sirius Octane 20 was as follows.

5) Jet Black Stare ? Ready To Roll

4) Saliva ? Family Reunion

3) Five Finger Death Punch ? Stranger Than Fiction

2) Rob Zombie ? War Zone

1) Guns N? Roses ? Chinese Democracy

It's been #1 every night I've listened so far.  I missed last night and Friday, but I imagine it got #1 both those nights as well.  I missed the Real Rock 20, which they have every Sunday, so I'm not sure how it fared there or if it was even eligible since it came out midweek last week.  They re-air it tomorrow at 5, so I'll try and catch it then.

102.1 The Edge were taking phone calls for an hour here in Toronto and callers were ripping apart! Yeeeeoouch! People are commenting on the blog as well and you get the DJs take(I'll transcribe it here):

http://www.edge.ca/Blogs/BTsBlog/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10012068


Six words I never thought I?d say: ?Chinese Democracy on 102.1 the Edge?. Is that six words? ?102.1? is a number. In word form its five I guess. One-oh-two-point-one. Could have gone with ?CFNY?. That?s not really a word either. Maybe just ?the Edge?. We?re off topic.

Chinese Democracy. Some music fans thought that would become a reality before Guns N? Roses released another song. HEY OH! Seriously though, it took forever for this song to come out.

Now it?s out. Do you like it? Was it even possible for this song to live up to it?s hype? Probably not. Jesus could?ve replaced Slash and there?d still be cynics, ?whatever, it?s not as good as his last resurrection.?

Let?s be honest though, the song isn?t that bad. Axl wails like we want him to. The guitar and drums are fist pumpin good throughout the verses. The chorus is weak. Axl goes too deep and there?s zero hook. As for the lead guitar?it?s not Slash. That might not be fair but that?s reality. It?s like watching Michael Jordan when he played for the Wizards, ?hey look, MJ is wagging his tongue!? Yeah cool, but he?s 40 and the team blows.

Soda drinking Americans will love this song. Last March Dr. Pepper announced it would giveaway free cans of the beverage should GN?R release their LP before 2009. Dr. Pepper told MTV News that, while additional details will be forthcoming, the company's plan to distribute free cans of its product will involve some sort of an online coupon system.

So. Chinese Democracy is out and being played on 102.1 the Edge. The song is good. If it were released by Nickleback or Staind it would be a top 40 hit in rural Canada and America. The fact that Axl Rose sings the song and the name Guns N? Roses is attached to it takes it to the next level in main stream media. Ah the main stream, these waters are frigid. 


I think it's a fair review.

[Ali]

Axl goes too deep?  What an idiotic criticism that is.  Has this guy ever heard "It's So Easy"?

By the way, it doesn't sound like Guns N' Roses fits in with the rest of the format on the station.  So, let the arrogant alt rock snobs make their negative remarks.

I text and email a request to KROCK in NYC everyday. The DJ's seem to be loving it.

The DJ tonight (forgot his name) said that apparently someone from Cypris Hill said this isn't "really" Guns n Roses anymore because Axl's the only one left from the original but the DJ doesn't care because people have been texting him all night to play the song (me being one of em) so he will.

where is the cagematch thingie where gnr won night after night with like 90%?

[oldgunsfan]

this song really does grow on you and I'm sure the more the "haters" hear it, the more tjey'll like it

[mrarkadin]

I remember when November Rain came out a lot of people were pretty vocally against it. Now it's an assumed GN'R classic. A few haters shows you're doing something different and against their expectations. Hooks and a poppy chorus don't work for every song and the lack of those elements obviously doesn't mean the band can't do those things. Critics forget that from time to time. For a 'cookie cutter' song it sure does a lot of easy things wrong!
