according to communist china this isnt the official radio single for the album. apparently "check my brain" will be the official official single and that will come out in mid august. makes sense since the album drops in late september.

this whole thing is really pretty dumb. Totally blown out of proportion. Its nothing new its amateur reproduction of already overproduced songs. The songs are amateur enough leave em alone.

Trailer for new video for "A Looking In View"

Many other bands have lost their frontman and continued on to success without him - ACDC being the prime example. Hell Van Halen was huge even after the iconic DLR left. He was very much a signature part of how that band sounded.

In a very similar vane as GNR, many people will not give this music a chance. They will immediately discredit it because they feel that the remaining members of the band aren't allowed to use the name because they feel some sort of sentimentality towards what Layne meant to them. Honesty, that is not fair to Jerry, Mike, and Sean.

I get it. Layne was your voice in some dark times and his loss hurt you. I bet it feels like your girlfriend is cheating on you by having them carry on with a new singer...get over it. You are not in the band. Allow the members of the band to do as they please with THEIR band.

ha! he's the senator for my area and i used to deliver that newspaper. figured GNR news would come out of LA or Malibu or NY...not south shore MA
