#401 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR's 'Democracy' To Be Retail Exclusive? » 879 weeks ago
I just wonder if these exclusive deals mean the retailer agrees to order in a certain number of copies to make sure the album goes gold or platinum.

lol
riyadh isn't a single james. it's not popular among gnr fans much less casual rock fans.deep down inside you know the difference between your own personal preferences and reality. very deep down inside.
Its the biggest departure from the classic GNR sound yet, and if Axl is aiming towards the future and not the past, its viable as a single.
Other than Shackler, Riyadh is the only song that doesn't scream UYI III.
I agree that it is the biggest departure from the classic sound which is why I personally think it would make the worst choice for a single. I think anyone familiar with Guns wants something that at least resembles classic GNR yet with a modern sound. I think Riyadh would get a OMG type of reaction. Plus for me it's a largely forgettable song. Not something you'd want as a single.

I'm sending it to my friend to see his reaction. He is a casual GNR fan so he hasn't followed the CD saga and hasn't heard any of the other leaks.

For me Better is by far and away the best choice. I think they should just go with the strongest track, but I think you are right that they will go with SR or an unheard track.

These store exclusives are lame. They are hurting the little guy to line their already overflowing pockets. Not to mention I am sure something like this has to hurt sales at least to some degree.
I'd rather see them do what Oasis is doing and bleed their hardcore fans dry by release a super deluxe version of the album. I'd bitch about the price, but I'd buy it anyway.

#408 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin's Site » 879 weeks ago
I wa about to say Slash is the smartest person, but then i remembered what he's done since GNR and it wasn't so smart of a choice.
I don't think Robin is coming back. He'll be on CD (if it's coming this year), but he's not coming back. He can make a lot of money and have a lot of fun touring with NIN. He'll be active. That's something most normal musicians like to do.
I don't know how you can say it wasn't a smart choice by Slash. You may not like what he has done, but he is doing what he loves and having fun doing it. He's experienced success without Axl and he is well-regarded by his musical peers and the fans. Like you said about Robin. Most normal musicians like to be active. That's exactly what he's doing.
#409 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » the new vr singer is? » 880 weeks ago
Lenny Kravitz has shot down as false Internet reports that he is set to become the new singer of VELVET REVOLVER. The singer told RollingStone.com, "I know and love the VELVET REVOLVER guys but there is no truth to the story about me joining their band."
Phew. I'm not an idiot afterall. 
#410 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin's Site » 880 weeks ago
Like I continue to say, nobody is in the band now except Axl. 100% guarantee nobody is under contract at present. It's anyone's guess as to which direction this thing will go in, who is actually on the record, or who will show up for the next tour. I truly believe a TON hinges on reaction to Shackler's Revenge.
Again, I do find that kind of exciting as we are only a few weeks away from an actual officially released track.
I think it's exciting that we're getting something new, but ultimately I feel this will end up going back to the waiting game so I am not as excited as I'd be with most bands.
