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

Tonight's Pump Your Own Octane.  Interesting that NONE of the songs from tonight were repeats from last night, except of course for Chinese Democracy.  CD also wasn't on the real rock 20 for last week, unless it was # 18-20, I missed those.  Maybe it wasn't in rotation long enough, not sure exactly how they go about tabulating that.

5) Tantric ? Fall Down
4) Kid Rock ? Rock N? Roll Jesus
3) Puddle Of Mudd ? Livin? On Borrowed Time
2) Metallica ? My Apocalypse
1) Guns N? Roses ? Chinese Democracy

Only one good song on that list...Axl's new hit single. 

Uh, oh.  Song was absent from the countdown tonight altogether after being #1 since it came out (I think).  What happened?  Don't be afraid to vote/request.  http://www.sirius.com/octane  The top 5 was as follows

5) Rev Theory ? Light It Up
4) In This Moment ? Forever
3) Rob Zombie ? War Zone
2) Slipknot ? Deaf Memories
1) Mudvayne ? Do What You Do

  Edit:  They did play the song about 10 minutes ago.  I don't know how the heck they come up with the countdowns.  It seems odd that hardly any of the songs are ever the same.  I demand a recount!  (just kidding)

Okay, back on the list tonight, on top where we belong.  The Pump Your Own Octane top 5 for Friday was as follows.

5) Volbeat ? Sad Man?s Tongue
4) AC/DC ? Rock N? Roll Train
3) Nickelback ? Something In Your Mouth
2) Metallica ? My Apocalypse
1) Guns N? Roses ? Chinese Democracy


Note : I've been digging that Volbeat song ever since I heard it a couple weeks back.  And I find that Nickelback song annoying.

[sandman]

3:30pm   Knockin on Heaven's Door
5:32pm   Chinese Democracy
8:06pm   Paradise City
11:15pm   Used to Love Her
1:30am   Chinese Democracy
3:50am   SCOM
5:42am   Live and Let Die
8:31am   Chinese Democracy

[GnR-NOW]

Does it take time for new songs to get into regular playlists ?  I'm tripping in MD that the new Metallica and AC/DC songs are played but not CD.  And the Metallica and AC/DC songs sound like every other old song, while CD has a new sound, but all of a sudden nobody wants new sounds ?

[ereeper]

WKLQ is Grand Rapids is really picking up on this song.  It was #1 for four days in a row and then it dropped to #2 on Wednesday and #3 on Thursday.  I thought it was going to drop down further yesterday, but it made it back to #1.  Since 5:00 PM yesterday they have now played CD a total of four times and have thrown in Jungle and Brownstone in the last 16 hours.

[SkeletorSerpent]

I thought the same thing! It was great to hear them back at #1 in GR on Friday! West Michigan loves their Gnr.

[Cuzon]

Great job guys, keep it up!! Im doing my part but i live in Australia so when i email US radio people they can tell im not from there, i still do it though haha.

its crazy to see guns n roses, motley crue, acdc and metallica all on the same list in 2008.  Rock fans are loyal through the years.

[axl2]

Yup keep the votes going. I know I am especially on the bigger stations but even little stations help. The goal is for all the GNR fans to get to hear the song as much as possible and to get old GNR fans that don't go on the forums to say "hey thats cool i remember GNR"

[DarkKnight]

Not to get in to a full on discussion about other bands, but is there any wonder why GnR is #1 right now?  It's not because of the name, it's because Axl took the time to put out a good record in an era when rock has become almost dormant.  Yeah, Metallica still rocks occasionally, but their songs mostly re-treads, whereas Axl is covering new ground for GnR and rock.  Chinese Democracy is really different than anything GnR has done before.  The Day That Never Comes rocks, but only because of Kirk and Lars.  James brings his same cliched, worn out schtick to the vocals. 

I'm glad Metallica is still around and they've paid their dues, but I hope people cut Axl some slack and understand that at least he was trying to make a GOOD album and not just another album to keep the fans loyal.  What Axl did took balls.  So, I give it up to him for that.   This is WHY GnR is #1 over these other bands now...

[CVBTank]

Has it been getting heavy radio play in your area?  I listen to the radio for at least 1.5 hours a day and I have yet to hear it once in my region (DC area).  Neither the major DC nor Baltimore station has spinned it while I was listening.

What about you guys?

[GetInTheJungle]

Here in Philly I listen to WMMR or WYSP going and coming from work and hear it (CD) and/or a GNR song fairly often.

hate to burst your bubble but CD is number 1 because its been anticipated for 17 years. It is the title track from literally the most anticipated ablum in the history of music. The quality of the song has much less to do with it.

Lets just make sure it stays there!

Bollocks.  The craftsmanship on CD is much more noticeable than anything Metallica has put out in the past 10 years (if not more). 

[younggunner]

keep up with the requests

I don't listen to too much music stations these days.  I tape the Howard Stern Show and listen to that, but with CD's release I've listened more to Sirius Octane and obviously they play it a fair amount seeing as how it's the number one song there.  I heard it over the weekend on WCCC in Hartford for the first time, but I hardly ever listen to that station.  I e-mailed the music director over there to find out if they were playing the song, as it hadn't shown up on their music log.  He assured me they've played it a hundred times since it came out.  So yeah, it's getting real good airtime as far as I can tell.

[faldor]

This is beginning to sound like a broken record, but when it's good news I figure it's alright to keep posting.  Voted number 1 again for Sirius Octane's Pump Your Own top 5 on Monday night.

5) Framing Hanley ? Lollipop
4) Volbeat ? Sad Man?s Tongue
3) Five Finger Death Punch ? Stranger Than Fiction
2) Slipknot ? Dead Memories
1) Guns N? Roses ? Chinese Democracy

The DJ (Covino) said he talked to another DJ (Mario) from Sirius Hard Attack who told him 6 of the 9 leaked tracks he's heard kick ass.  Covino said he thought all 9 kicked ass.  He also mentioned how Bumblefoot (although he didn't mention him by name) said that the 3 that haven't been heard are even better.  Good way to pump the album I'd say.

[axl2]

Great news. Email this cleveland station. They don't have it on the rotation but the DJ said more requests and they'll add it.
