Holy fucking God! This is my first post after my 1st complete listen-through. Thank you Guns N' Roses. Fucking AWESOME! It's probably already been mentioned, but This I Love would make for a beautiful single. I'm sure radio would shorten it up, but yes, This I LOve. Amazingly beautiful.

I think "This I Love" and "Sorry" are two of the best songs on the album, and two songs that would appeal to listeners who may not even be big fans of Guns N Roses. "This I Love" is seriously the most heartbreaking, depressing song I've ever heard, and I think it would be a huge hit due to all the people who could relate to its lyrics. And "Sorry" sounds like no GNR song I've ever heard, it's instantly memorable, and the lyrics, which one can easily relate to Slash or Scott Weiland, would create even more interest in the song, making people ask, "Is he talking about who I think he's talking about?"
I really hope "Street of Dreams" isn't picked as a single. I had such high, high hopes for that song, and let's just say I'm hugely disappointed with the version that's on the album.

I think Better deserves a nice long run to get hooked to on radio. I'd say atleast until January.
Then I'd say
1. Street Of Dreams - just cause its the most radio friendly ballad, instantly catchy, not too long in length.
2. IRS - The next best radio ready rocker(even though I dig scraped). Its got a rock feel with big guitars and a catchy chorus
I think Sorry would work down the road...I dunno about Prostitute or This I Love. TWAT is my fav, but maybe too long. I could hear it on an "album cut" weekend airplay, but it'll be more of an Estranged type cult song

I think This I Love is a song that's easily-listenable, but it's not the kind of song Guns N' Roses should put out as a single. This is the jewel of the album, the reason people should buy the album. If GNR give away their greatest song on this album (imo) as a single, then listeners could be slightly disappointed with the rest of the album.
Even though it's not my favorite, I say I.R.S. would make the best next single
Actually scratch that.
Madagascar for the win. The third single needs to be a ballad.

Im thinking the next single should be:
Catcher In The Rye
Then:
This I Love
Sorry
Street Of Dreams
Better
Hell, most of the songs from the album are single material.
Personally, though, Id prefer if Guns N Roses didnt release singles. Pull a Led Zeppelin and simply refuse. Make videos, sure, but release them on DVD singles instead. I mean, we already have the songs on the album, just give us the videos on DVD single.

I'm pretty sure that bands don't release half the album as singles.
It wouldn't be smart for them to do anyway. I'd say about two more and then tour.

Some do, especially if the singles are all successful. Hell, I think 3/4ths of the songs on Daughtry's album have been released as singles.

5 Singles off AFD.
Just to use the Guns N' Roses example. If an album is successful, it will spawn many singles.

There Was A Time should be released sometime. Mainly this song has a Stones-y feel. It reminds me of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" but more modern.

I would break out "If The World" which has probably the highest "crossover" appeal out any of the tracks on the album. I really feel like we're at a "critical" juncture here. The reviews have been mostly great and the hard core fan base is mostly pleased (extremely pleased in many cases)- BUT it's time to reach out to "the masses". The same masses that got pulled in by the "November Rain" video in '92 and put this band on a Michael Jackson/Madonna pop star level. "If The World" has that kind of potential IMHO.

I think you could make anyone of the songs the next single. I notice a lot fo people taking about they need a video. Do they even show videos on tv anymore? i thought most of the videos were online.
