#171 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR, Rock Band, the VMAs and 4 albums » 884 weeks ago
As excited as I am to hear stuff like this, that was just horribly wrong. Since the guy was being officially interviewed before the whole hidden camera bullshit, obviously this was taped by one of the game "journalists" at the show. If anybody deserves to be fired it's him - absolute lack of journalistic ethics and put that other guy's job in jeopardy. What a dick.
The guy was super careful about what he said during the interview and then gets fucked over like that. It would be different if he had knowingly leaked it to the reporter and was quoted as "an annonymous source at harmonix," but it's obvious from watching this that that was not his intent.
I want news just just as much as the next rabid fan, but that was disgusting.

did you guys see this yet? Its a video where they discuss Shackler's Revenge. "its a mix of old and new, crazy buckethead solo" ect.
The mention is at about 5:30 into it.
Nice find, Tommie! karma.
I'm really happy to see other people excited about this - I mean other than us maniacs here.

Yes! I think we can all feel a little more secure in getting excited this time.
Thanks for the info Russ!
#174 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Official Site Updated » 884 weeks ago
Awesome to see news like that up no the site finally. I really hope this is just a tie-in though, and not the way the single will actually be released. I'm assuming that something will be available through i-tunes at least (or maybe one of the Rock band/Mtv/GNR sites), but I want a physical disc of this.
Not everyone plays games. Not everyone uses itunes and downloads songs. If they want to get the GNR name back to the household word it was before, they need to make this available in any many forms as possible and reach as many fans and potential fans as possible.
Anyway, fuck it. I'm excited!

But, yeah, not much was said. Something along the lines of "we're proud to announce that that Axl Rose has decided to release Shackler's Revenge, the first track from the new album that's been 14 years in the making and coming soon, Chinese Democracy on Rock Band 2" (VERY paraphrased from memory)
"After 14 years since Guns N' Roses last official music release, Axl Rose selects Rock Band 2 to debut official new track "Shackler's Revenge" from the highly-anticipated album Chinese Democracy."
Thanks! 
and that's all they are gonna get for now. it's alot that the song got mentioned. things are looking good for them so far. how many other songs/bands got mentioned in every press release/ article?
Only big ones, like AC/DC (its the first time they've been in a game). Although they didn't talk much it got quite a big focus compared to the other stuff. Seems like it's a big deal even outside of GnR land!
Yeah. It was singled out and it got some cheers from the audience. Though the conference was pretty fucking boring up til then.

They're talking about it now at Microsoft's press conference...calling Shackler's Revenge the first release from the album.
Yup! Just heard it announced!
It's official kids!

Its on the website. I should have posted the full link.
It'll be in the magazine as well since Stein wrote the review.
Thanks James! I guess their search just sucks then.
Though I did come across an article titled "Japan's Booming Sex Niche: Elder Porn", so my time was not completely wasted.

#180 Re: Guns N' Roses » Where are the AFD on Steroids songs » 887 weeks ago
Maybe by "AFD on steroids" he meant that the songs have manboobs and a shrunken peepee?
