"Better" starting to gain MAJOR steam.

[ecwfan]

I still think it will be a big hit once the music video comes out ! I really think that will do the trick.

                     To me it comes down to a tour to promote the record. You have to be seen on TV , be showed trying to do that. The best possible thing for Guns n Roses is they need to play SNL , do some morning talk shows over the summer when they have live concerts and do VH1 special about the album. To me thats gonna help the album ....being seen on a national TV level.

just wondering, has any rock stations around the world been mentioning that billboard interview on the radio ad their thoughts on it?

When playing any era GNR our rock station they have mentioned it here and again. There's one female DJ in particular who LOVES CD and she mentioned it after playing Better on Sunday night. She ofcourse mentioned the part where Axl said he or Slash will die before a reunion but she then when on to say "from the sounds of the song I just played... I'm ok with it".

[faldor]

After playing CD the DJ on Sirius/XM Octane, Bodhi, commented on the Billboard Q&A.  He mentioned how Axl would be open to working with Izzy and playing lIve with him again in the future.  Also said he would be open to playing with Duff but not with multiple ex members at a time. He then said that Axl didn't mention anything about Slash as far as working with in the future.  Maybe he meant that they won't work together again.  It was strange wording though.  You'd think he'd harp on Axl's apparent hatred for Slash.

[Albert S Miller]

^Axl's statement clearly points out his feelings, he has made this public knowlege, in regards to original lineup, he has set definate boundries for himself. I don't foresee a future in regards to this topic, there is no more wonderment!! What is to talk about? Not trying to be bitchy though!!

On topic, I don't listen to radio everyday, yet it seems when I do, 9 times out 10 I will hear it, although, with out comment more often than not, It still kinda feels shocking to me when I hear it

Huh, you work for them? That's really the only station I bother listening to. (Mainly because I don't get a whole lot of stations in too clear)

Haha - not DIRECTLY. I work for JR 93.7 (the cluster's country station), but we're in the same building, and owned by the same company, so I tend to know what's going on since their studio is right next door to ours. 

[Rhino]

anyone think that they have now decided to scrap the release of the video. I know they have made vids in the past that didnt get released...maybe release it later as an afterthought?

either way the song in incredible. It would just be cool to see it

[SLCPUNK]

No, I think we'll see it. Just not maybe on the time line some of us would prefer.

[GNR4L]

Well there finalizing the video as we speak, so maybe in a couple of weeks or a month.

[rabia]

im not american so i dont know this so i would appreciate it if somebody could help me out with this. what would be good radio shows with big listening audiences in which to request Better?

the videos might not come out for some while yet and the song's slipping down. if we request it, more people will have a chance to be introduced to it.

"Better" starting to lose MAJOR steam.

Do requests even work anymore?  Most stations have their playlists decided in advance.

From what I've been told by the station I listen too, they have a program director that does decide what they will play. Not down to the exact song though. For example, when the new Metallica came out, they were told to play Metallica once an hour. SO a specific time period is designated to play certain things. As far as requests go, they said they are able to play maybe 1-2 an hour. Does that make sense?

And your program director probably got a call from Warner Bros to make that decision.

See what I'm getting at?

Stations played CD when it came out for about 4 weeks and thats it, they dont play it anymore, and "Better"... forget about it!...but those motherf%$^& still play the new Metallica and ACDC and a lot of more new releases every single day! makes me sick, I turn on the radio and I wanna hear GNRs new music, but no.....they just put WTTJ and SCOM
