Anyone seen this?
http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/10 … r-aga.html
Read the user comments. It's getting absolutely lambasted. LOL.
That blog is loaded with trolls.
That Chris dude that wrote the article also knows nothing, and seems to half ass his report.
"Slash Who? Soloing" - there's nothing in that song that sounds even remotely close to Slash.
My suggestion is that those who want to be positive ignore the posts of the one negative person.
You're totally right. I shouldn't have even bothered. I thought the guy was reasonable and could be helped, but he doesn't want to get it.

Oh, so I get singled out in this? Would that be the case if I was posting over and over how great it was? I didn't think so.
Too bad. Skip the posts if you don't want to read it. I will respond when spoken to, so politely ask people not to address my opinions...then I can state my opinion once and leave it at that instead of either defending my opinion or defending my right to have an opinion.
Believe me Buzz, if this board had an ignore feature, you'd been on mine LONG AGO.
#17012 Re: Guns N' Roses » Radio Reacts To Guns N' Roses Single » 941 weeks ago
You guys do realize Sweet Child's opening was 'trimmed' to be radio-friendly?
And you're saying it'll doom CD, umm... okay.
I understand the excitement and its warranted, but I do agree with Buzzsaw in the fact that we as hardcore fans inflate the interest. That's how IRS charted on that one station in 2006. It wasn't thousands of fans flooding the station with requests, it was a few forum fans spamming the station with requests. An example is last night on one of those stations some of the callers mentioned mygnr and/or threads on the site. That's not the type of feedback anyone(including the GNR camp) is looking for.
Neutral feedback is needed to gauge the real interest in this, but it doesn't look like we're gonna get that until the song and album are available for purchase. The sales are gonna have to do the talking since we're not allowed to see what Joe Blow thinks of all this.
I don't even listen to the radio, but it would have been cool to see the general public's reaction. To all you radio peeps: When will the new charts show up?
But see James that's the problem. We're all GN'R has left. It's been so long, that the casual radio listening audience that loves GN'R, left and moved on to other things YEARS AGO. We're all they have left at a grassroots level to really push this thing.
I think some fans, and management think those 1991/92 fans are still there, and will resurrect themselves to give this a push. No, and for a few reasons. A) Time, B) Different GN'R both staffing & artisically, C) different music era.
The reason this single might struggle for any kind of coverage is that, the ONLY coverage they are getting right now is because of the brand name - GUNS N' ROSES.
This is literally starting all over for this band. Their new sound will have to be accepted as if it's a new band, but the only people that know this "underground" band, are diehard Guns N' Roses fans - the internet.

You are entitled to your opinion, as long as your opinion has merit and doesn't come with a slant or bias. Your's ALWAYS DOES, leaving your opinions to come across as intentionally negative for no reason whatsoever.
If it deserves a negative comment, it gets a negative comment.
But it doesn't deserve a negative comment.
Believe me, I'm biting my tongue in a lot of cases.
I believe that. Do it more.
This whole situation is nowhere near as good as you guys are making it out to be
So a majority opinion still won't sway you.
There's nothing else GN'R can do for you.
but I'll let you have your day in the sun.
That's frickin' sad. That's really sad that you are such a negative person when it concerns this band, that YOU feel you are doing new band fans a FAVOR to let us enjoy the BAND WE LIKE.
Why thank you Mr. Buzzsaw. I appreciate you letting me like the band I knew I liked without you having to tell me. Thanks for the permission to like new Guns.
don't appreciate you giving negative karma for stating a valid opinion as though I'm just posting to cause trouble. Guess what? This song IS NOT getting glowing reports from everybody, so stop fooling yourself into thinking it was some magical song selection. It isn't that good and was a poor song choice for a first single. Hell, I should be happy about that according to you, but I'm not.
That right there is why I gave you a negative karma. On the most positive day since 1993 for GN'R fans, the most positive moment since, you come and be negative. Even if you feel it's warranted.
There isn't anything I can think of that DESERVES NEGATIVE KARMA more than that. Why, because your karma is actually negative, per the definition of the word.
GnR fans from the boards are being told to go to different sites to support the song "we need positive reviews on this" is what one site said...how fucking credible is that?
Perfectly credible. Sorry, but there's too many Slashites (aka trolls) running around that will down this thing just to down it. GN'R managment doesn't need that, and any fan that gives them that, isn't a true fan. Yes, i'm with GN'R on this one.
What happens today means NOTHING. New cars get old, some faster than others. Let's talk after the album comes out and the old material outsells CD. With CD being a BB exclusive, I'm willing to bet that's exactly what happens. We're the only people dragging ourselves to BB to buy it...sorry to break that news to you
That's not news to me. In fact it's almost an entire lift of everything i've been saying for months. I know the only people this matters to me, and other diehards.
Still doesn't mean that it's not great hear GN'R on the radio, and that CD is a great rockin' track.
Eventually we just have to say "we love it". Same with Axl. Fuck the naysayers, whether it be you or anyone else. This album cannot escape the myth, and it'll do it in imo, but it doesn't mean the music doesn't fucking rule. 
#17014 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N Roses manager discusses Chinese Democracy » 941 weeks ago
Axl described this cover a long time ago. This is what he wants. This is fine.
I like the cover more everytime I look at it to be honest. And I DO think it's intentional that spray paint on the wall says "Guns N' Rose"
#17015 Re: Guns N' Roses » Not So Surreal Feeling... » 941 weeks ago
No, I feel TOTALLY surreal. You have to understand, it's even more surreal for me to know that i'm about to watch Game 1 of the World Series involving the Tampa Bay Rays, and CD is on the radio.
What in the fuck is going on? It feels like alternate-1985 in BTTF2.
But I do agree with CC, the only person this has affected is the fans. Everyone else is like "that's cool", and then goes about their business. Which is fine, I expected that, but I think it's really an enlightening thing to see, you truely start to understand is that... the only person that cares is you and GN'R.
#17016 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Starts Now! » 941 weeks ago
With the actual state of the NEW band (whether they're together or not), my guess is ANY future videos will be based concepts for videos, with actors.
The occasional stock live performance might pop in or maybe some techniques with Axl ala CGI (think Innuendo) to give the impression.
Old school videos I don't think will happen.
#17017 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses to release Chinese Democracy single » 942 weeks ago
It's not catchy... lmao.
What a dumbass.
#17018 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses to release Chinese Democracy single » 942 weeks ago
Yeah, CD is pretty rockin'. Way better than that gay ass record Appetite For Destruction.
Yeah, buzz I can be stupid too.
#17019 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Press Release! (Rolling Stone.com) » 942 weeks ago
i'm glad to share the rush with you all
This place was fuckin' slammed I guess. I couldn't get in either. Couldn't get in to MyGNR either.
I ended up getting the news from HTGTH
#17020 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Press Release! (Rolling Stone.com) » 942 weeks ago
..."this is only the beginning"
Irving Azoff IS Guns N' Roses
