The Next Single Should Be???????

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

This I Love

It has #1 written all over it.

[D]

One thing will always stay in style "A Broken Heart"

This song IS a broken heart recorded and presented to u.

so people from 10 to 70 would love this song cause everyone can relate to the lyrics and it is just beautiful and heartbreaking.


My mom would love this song.

thats the kind of stuff that creates phenomenon's. when it transcends generations.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I think This I Love is a much "safer" single than Prostitute because it has a real chorus which is incredibly catchy due to the melody of it

Prostitute doesn't have a chorus.  It has verses, over two types of sections, the low key, poppy piano ballad sections and the soaring, bombastic hard rock sections.  The vocal melodies are incredibly and it's catchy due to that but it doesn't have a sing along chorus like This I Love

[Mechanical-Worm]

Riad N' the Bedouins

we need some swearing in our next single.

 

[jamesdm]

This is Love or There Was a Time

[gunns1]

This I love..

or Sorry.

[Mr. Nik™]

the perfect third single is Street of Dreams

[jazjme]

My choices would be lets give Better some more time for proper airplay as we got two singles very close together and its a great tune as is Chinese Democracy

THats my feeling, I really hope these take off, and we dont talk about next single to after the new yr, let this digest for people. Im sure there indeed is a plan, lets not jump the gun release this release that, let the music get out there. NY 2 cent.

[damnthehaters]

the perfect third single is Street of Dreams

Please no!!  I just don't get the infatuation with this song.

I would say Sorry

[oneway23]

Street of Dreams it is!

[D]

I love sod but  I don't see it being single worthy

It is kind of repetitive and doesn't have a chorus either.......


For a Big hit single, u need something memorable and something people will sing a long to.

SOD isn't that song.

[Henson]

I wouldn't mind having one more rocker next.
But hell, we already have two singles climbing up the charts!

[LordRazZ]

Catch and This I love..the next two singles..

[Billo]

Better is the single and suppost to be out but with NO video it will fail and its an awesome song.. i just dont get it..they need a video.

[Mr. Nik™]

Please no!!  I just don't get the infatuation with this song.

I would say Sorry

this is not a "which song do you like most" thread..... you can like or dislike Sorry, or Shackler's or any other song on the album... that's don't matter..

we are guessing on which song would be a good single (no matter which song we personally like), and I repeat that Street of Dreams is a perfect third single.

[Skunk]

I agree. I think SOD is very classic for whatever that's worth, but i could also see This I Love or If The World doing well, so i'm curious what they'll do. Either way i think Better is the keystone of the album and the one that has to make the big push. By the time the third single hits, everyone should already have GNR on the mind.

[CheapJon]

thing with this record, although i'm sure i'm pretty biased. more then half of the songs could probably work as singles

[King Axl]

It will probably be "Street Of Dreams", though I think "Scraped" deserves to be a single at some point in time.

[freedom78]

Sorry


Come on GNR, U have got to put this out for the next single

Lets take a vote on what the next single should be.


What do u got?

Wish we could do a poll Jarmo...

How about throwing a poll for one time on this thread?

"Single" is a confusing term to some extent.  The world was exposed to Shackler's, CD, and Better, so I think something less aggressive would be a good idea. 

SO...I agree.  Sorry would be great.  Catcher would also work well.  Or Maddy.  I'm sure there are greedy fucks in suits who know more about what will sell than I do.  But, for once, our interests are aligned.  I want rock to retake the world, knock corporate pop from it's pedestal, and reassume it's rightful place on the throne.  Granted, it'll lead to corporate rock at some point, and another coup will be imminent, but for now I'll deal with that inevitability just to hear good, new, rock n' roll on the air.

I'm listening to Catcher as I write, and I think that this track could really appeal to a lot of classic rock fans.

next single has to be a ballad.

If u are saying street of dreams, that means u think it is the most commercial and best ballad on CD and I just can't understand that at all.

It is an awesome song, but radio friendly usually means great melodies that stick in your head, something that is universally relatable and something with a nice big chorus that melts everyone's heart.

SOD's is a great song, but I don't think it is more commercial than Sorry or TIL.
