I hope so. They deserve it. If GN'R had a tenth of the marketing and management skills behind them that U2 does, man would things be different around here.

Yeah, it's supposed to be a "simultaneous" release at both radio and iTunes this morning... So we shall see very soon. I'm up for the night anyways (I'm at work right now haha)

Well I'm happy to report that the new single "Get On Your Boots" is available on iTunes (use the 'power search' feature and type U2 plus the song title). However it's not available here in the U.S. yet my friends -- I'm sure in about two hours, give or take that it will change and will soon be available. I believe they are actually holding off until 3:10amET this morning for us all here in the states...

Just found a link on iTunes Music Store my friend... And according to a Universal Music Canada press release, the first single "Get On Your Boots" is scheduled to be released simultaneously on iTunes and radio on Monday January 19th. (currently scheduled for 3:10am EST) iTunes will have the digital download exclusive for "Get On Your Boots" for the first 24 hours. For iTunes the single will be available both as an individual download, and as an instant grat track for album pre-order (both regular and deluxe version).
Deluxe iTunes version will include Anton Corbijn's "Linear" film, and a digital collector's magazine. When you pre-order the album, you get the single immediately and get access to bonus music not available elsewhere.
I'm taking a wild guess by saying iTunes will probably let this single out of the bag after midnight like most big releases (instead of waiting until 3am)... But, what do I know? We'll have to wait and see. I'm sure this is to stop any "illegal" downloading on the internet. Pretty smart move if you ask me. Plus, we'll all be able to hear it in excellent quality at the same time. Let's keep our fingers crossed on this one. However, I think sales of the "physical" single will suffer when released I'm sure (minus the "core" fans who purchase it).

"Nature needs a big kiss, winds blow with a twist. Never seen a moon like this , can you see it too? Light is falling everywhere, rockets at the fun fair, Satan loves a bomb scare but he won't scare you.
22 seconds of Get on Your Boots leaks today.

I like the clip... I heard this track will make its debut via iTunes after midnight January 19th here in the states. Any truth to this I wonder? If so, I can't wait. The single sounds promising...
#126 Re: Guns N' Roses » LARS ULRICH Holding Up Release of GNR 'Better' Video? » 860 weeks ago
Like sic said, this is pretty much just an attempt at getting attention. What they don't seem to realize is its only a few thousand at these fan forums that give a shit. The rest of the world doesn't care. The only time they'll attempt to care is when a video is released. They don't care about excuses leading up to release.
Well, that's true...

just more ridiculous bullshit...
Which is why I typed the line "Kinda weird isn't it..." First thing that came to my mind was 'Here we go again, more delays...'

According to an online posting by Fernando Lebeis, the son of Beta Lebeis — GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose's personal assistant — the release of the band's new video for the song "Better" is being held up by a legal matter involving METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich. Although exact details are sketchy, it appears that Ulrich's image is featured in the clip and his release form needs to be signed before the video can be distributed and promoted to music video television programmers worldwide.
Responding to questions on the GUNS N' ROSES fan board MyGNRForum.com regarding the delay in the release of the "Better" clip, Fernando Lebeis wrote, "Tell Lars to OK the vid and it's done. That's all that is pending." When asked by a fan who the "Lars" was that he was referring to, Fernando replied, "Lars Ulrich. We are pending his release form to be signed."
Ulrich was reportedly seen backstage at a number of GUNS N' ROSES shows on the band's 2006 tour and even performed the song "Out Ta Get Me" with GN'R on December 15, 2006 during Axl Rose and company's headlining appearance at the Oracle Arena (formerly Oakland Arena) in Oakland, California.
"Better" is the second single from GUNS N' ROSES' new album, "Chinese Democracy", which sold 56,000 copies in the United States in its fourth week of release to land at position No. 33 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD has shifted 421,000 units since it was released on November 23 as a Best Buy exclusive after a wait of more than 15 years.

Kinda weird isn't it... Here's a small question, why is Lars in the forthcoming video?

#130 Re: Guns N' Roses » so, does CD stand up as a Guns N' Roses album? » 865 weeks ago
Absolutely! This album does it for me, no doubt. I've been waking up to the sweet sounds of AFD every day for the last 3 years. That's all gonna change tomorrow. It's a new era, and I've embraced it.
Well said my friend, I agree with this statement. I've accepted GNR for what it has become, the past is the past. Let it go, for this will become a new journey for us fans, and new fans alike...
