I have no clue, but something is up. The press being quiet on all fronts, right now, speaks volumes. I could be wrong, but my bet is they know something else newsworthy is about to hit.
You see, I would say the press is quiet because normally when they're reviewing things it's because they had copies of it sent to them so they can review it. Even if they're reviewing the game, any GNR stuff is just going to be an afterthought in the overall review.
Hope you're right though.

They could also put it on itunes for no overhead, and I would give them a dollar for it. And I'm not buying the game, so there's an extra dollar.
If they put it on iTunes, that completely blows the exclusivity factor out of the water. That's the point here. Maybe that's why it's not being released at the moment. Let Rock Band have their time in the sun before releasing it in another manner.
Yeah, I get that. More what I meant was, I don't think the record company wants "a good rip" out there. I'd (and I would think the record company/band would) rather have a good quality version released by the band than just have more rips off the game/fan edits/remixes/etc. I like being able to listen to the songs, but I'd love to be able to listen to it how Axl has been imagining it for 15 years. They just need to let me.

I'm sure there's people who would know more than me who that guy is, or why he might know such things. But if that's true..... just.... Wow.?!?.
(and just for the record, last night I was at a party and I played the leaks. Three different people asked me for copies. So interest is out there)

I never go to their myspace page, but went and checked it. This song should have already been on there. All they had to do is click the checkbox that doesn't allow downloads.
This is what's on the official GNR myspace page music player:
Welcome to the Jungle
Sweet Child O Mine
You Could Be Mine
Nice Boys
Down On The FarmI'm so glad they took that advice they gave the fans and stopped living in the past.
It just irritates the hell out of me when people don't exploit the tool that those sites (Myspace/Facebook/Etc) can and should be.
They're looking for ways to promote an album that's supposedly coming out and is horrifically overbudget, but they're not using the great promotional avenues that, to top it off, are free.

Ha.
That's one thing we've all gotten pretty good at.

shouldnt be up to rockband 2 to promote gnr
You're absolutely right, but if you're putting new "product" on the game, I think they should both look at it as cross promotion.
#808 Re: Guns N' Roses » The silence on the eve of RB2 is deafening! » 947 weeks ago
It seems wierd to me in a GNR sense and a Rockband sense to not have it out before the game is released.
Is it just me, or wouldn't Rock Band want the song out there first? Then they can say, "Listen to it and Learn in, because it's gonna be hard to do on the game".
Something like that gets the GNR name out there to the hard core gamers, and it gets the Rock Band name out there to the non-gamers.
