CHINESE DEMOCRACY - Promotion thread (scans, links to promotional material)

[faldor]

well, Mr. Myspace himself has got his profile pretty much dedicated to CD today: http://www.myspace.com/tom

That's cool, and pretty good promotion considering he's got 200 million friends

Just saw a CD commercial for the fist time on VH1, what a rush to actually see it on TV and not youtube 


Also saw a canadian show(kinda like Access Hollywood) on CTV we get here in the states... They gave it props, but showed the NR vid with slash, cant blame them for no new footage from the band tho...

Yeah I just that commercial myself!!! lol I was having dinner and all of a sudden BOOM! Chinese... came on....

Cool, thanks for the pics!

[falungong69]

that would make this moment even sweeter.  i'd love to have a good pic of the band that i could have on my computer or better yet as a giant framed poster on my wall.  gnr has tons and tons of merch for sale, but man all i really want now is a picture of the band.  not a collage, but like all together in one room. 

not to invoke the old band because i like the new members so much better, but one thing those old guys did well was to pose for band photos.  now, years later i still have pics of that band.  what happens when we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of chinese democracy?  if we want to see teh band, we will have to look at the little individual photoshopped pictures in the booklet.  BUT I WANT A POSTER!  hell yes i do.

I'm sure it wouldn't be to difficult for them to accomplish, and for promotional puropses, I guess we'll see some new pictures in the near future.

Right now, I'm crossing my fingers for a music video, that would be sweet!

[Is he struggling?]

I've seen one poster ad so far in London - on South Ruislip Tube Station. If I could upload pictures from my phone, I'd gladly do it.

Seems a bt late in the promotional cycle to premiere a music video. But then again, G n'R seem to have a habit of leaving things late. 

It looks like promotion is really picking up now. Perhaps Universal/Geffen are saving most of the promotion for soon after the album is reeased - i.e after all the diehards like us have gone out and bought our 10 copies each, and at the point more casual music fans have to be persuaded to go out and buy it.

Just a thought.
