RADIO REQUEST Info / Internet Polls For "Better" and "CD" Single VOTE + REQUEST!

[Electric Sintar]

I hope everyone has gotten to hear it on their local stations! It really is an awesome feeling when it comes on.

True.

It really stands out among the rest of the music that I hear on the radio.

Just heard the final 2 minutes of the song here in Philly. Sounded great. Of course.

Best part though... afterward the DJ says... "Man... I really love that track."

Which station was that?



/jarmo

Which station in Philly did you hear it.  I just looked up all the songs played on WMMR today, and they payed it once (just a few minutes ago at 8:36 EST), but I would say it definitely isn't played enough in this area.  I heard Don't Cry and November Rain on WYSP today, but no CD. 

I completely agree with Jarmo that it is completely different then anything you hear on the radio today, which is what makes GnR the best!  I would just like to hear it on the radio more in the Philly area.  I guess in two weeks it won't matter because I'll be listening to it whenever I want.  Still can't believe I'm saying that

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but CD is on XFM's playlist (both the London and Manchester stations).

[cotis]

I hear it on the radio at least twice a day, and granted I drive in about 30 or less minute intervals. 107.1 The Bone here in NJ/PA. All the DJ's love it, though some are still skeptical on whether or not it'll finally get released!

Done!  Keep up the voting folks!

Since we constantly are bombarding the online polls with our votes, I thought I'd make an appeal for a "poll" that's more permanent. 

If anyone uses rateyourmusic.com, it's a site that allows users to review and rate albums they've heard.  As you might expect, haters abound and CD, two weeks before it's even released, languishes with a measly 2.69/5 average rating.  But, with only 35 ratings, it's a weak average (my "5" just raised it 0.1).  So head over, sign up if you aren't already (they don't even require an email), and rate the damned thing!

This rating will be posted online well after every poll put up by every bitter jock has long faded away.  So "5" it up, people.  Even if you actually wait to have it in hand before rating, every good rating helps.

I called the Buzz in Houston every day morning, noon and night to no avail. Finally, the DJ gave me a straight answer.

 The DJ yesterday said, "Man I want to play it... I'm with you but the first 40 seconds of that song are crap. I'm with ya' man but the powers that be won't let us have that much dead air before a song. If you really want to hear it we are going to need allot more calls."

PLEASE people, lets get this song played in the 4th largest city in America.

Why don't they do what most stations do and cut out most of the intro?  Pretty simple really.  It's called editing.  While I think the intro is cool, I can understand stations maybe not wanting to play it.  However, it IS possible to cut out 40 seconds rather than refusing to play an entire song.

[Oh My Choking Soul]

I know. It sucks. I asked him to do his talking over the intro. He said it was too much work for a song no-one has been requesting. I don't get it.

No one's requesting it, likely, because no one in your market has HEARD it.

Email him the billboard charts showing that it's getting HUGE numbers of spins (based off requests) around the country.

Then tell him all they have to do is edit the first 40 seconds of the song, like the rest of the country has when playing it.  I haven't heard the first 40 seconds since the very FIRST time my local station played it.  It literally takes about 20 seconds to set a post on the song, one time.

I suspect the guy is just being a jerk-off.

Just a quick update on the radio airplay.  "Chinese Democracy" just moved up to #4 on Mainstream Rock with the largest week to week increase in spins.  Still holding strong at #8 on Active Rock with again the largest week to week increase in spins for any song in the top 50 of that chart.  Also, the song is #24 on the Alternative chart with the fifth largest increase in spins on stations with that format.

I hope everyone has gotten to hear it on their local stations! It really is an awesome feeling when it comes on.

I know I'm a little late to the game here, but I finally heard it on the radio....and it is an awesome feeling.

I'll have to do more driving around.

Lets get that up to number 1...Weird that they'd pull the plug on this single already as Monday there will be a new single, I'm thinking Better.

[Eazy E]

Chinese Democracy is now #1 on 97.7 Hitz FM's "Top 9 @ 9" in Toronto, took it awhile to get ahead of AC/DC!

Glad to hear it!  The song is doing well still.
