What's even funnier is that was the PREMIERE of it on that particular station. They didn't even play the full version of it ONE time.
I'm surprised any radio station bothered with that bit at all to be honest. It's fine as the opening to the album, it works great, but as part of the single it was always going to be cut by the radio. Unless you're somewhere with perfect reception and no background noise the whole chinese talking bit just sounds like dead air. If the track plays in your car you won't hear anything until those drum beats. Makes sense to cut it out imo.
I agree.

we are barely a day in to this officially and I am already sick of the conversations about sales and old/vs new and whether the song will be popular or not. I FUCKING HATE HOW THESE THREADS TURNOUT.

Also, looks like there will be a new website....love the simplicity of the date and the streaming of the song.

Produced by Axl and Caram...nice. Also, I like this part...
"We're launching with a monumental campaign developed by Gary Arnold and the Best Buy team that matches the groundbreaking sound of the album itself. Guns N' Roses fans have every reason to celebrate, for this is only the beginning.' 
Also note Geffen records...

Others will be listening for the hook that isn't there. There's nothing catchy, nothing to sing along to...there's just nothing. Welcome to SBQM II. Choosing this over Better was a fatal mistake.
I can only assume your opinion is backed by countless research, demographics, etc?
If you want to prove me wrong, be my guest. I stand by what I said, and supposed initial responses aside, 1 day does not a good decision make. 40 seconds of nothing to start the song? Yeah, that isn't going to work. I bet it's gone to radio edit hell very, very soon.
The song is bad. No, not just bad, terrible. Boring, simple, not creative, not catchy, not a song that is going to bring new listeners in. It's a song that will keep BH fans happy and keep the few GnR fans that obsess over the new band interested. Period. So a few internet fans got all geeked up to hear the song at the announced time and claim to love it to radio stations...there's a big surprise.
Give it time. Let's see how many people love it in a week, or better yet, how many people love it enough to buy an album because of it. Eventually the internet geeks will stop calling in and we'll get the real story. If I'm wrong then, I'll be the first to admit it. I know some people that were excited when SBQM came out...
I agree somewhat although I think it will be a moderate success. Like I said earlier in the thread, they should send out Better a week to two weeks before release as well.

I imagine it will get a mixed reaction.....I am sort of neutral on it as a radio single. He should now put out Better to radio as well....maybe in two weeks or so.
