#231 Re: Guns N' Roses » Shacklers Revenge on the radio » 904 weeks ago
Bright Eyes, I disagree with your observation. The same crowd that loved Appetite also loved ballads like November Rain and Don't Cry from the Illusion albums. The difference now is that the sound itself is entirely different from the GN'R everyone remembers. No Slash, no Izzy, no Duff. There's a lot of industrial sounds in the newer GN'R stuff, so it's not surprising that there's a mixed reaction to everything that's been released or leaked so far. Nine Inch Nails isn't exactly universally popular for instance.
You just proved my point--it's different all the way around, that is what scares many away. Different players, sound, etc.

BTW, which version did they play on the radio?
New GNR exposes a cultural divide I feel. Those mullet-headed conservatives, secretly liking the music or not, will go to their death bed claiming they hate it, because it ain't yesteryears "apple-pie on the 4th of July with a Camarro" GNR. In other words, they will hate it, even though much of it is brilliant. Those typically more culturally exposed to new tastes, constantly exploring and probing the world for new art, ideas, etc. understand, appreciate it, and allow themselves to love the new sound for what it is--brilliance!

That is pro-shot footage. It was from MTV Europe--i think that was the festival in Belgium.

not really. Google news, search for Guns N' Roses. Look the articles roll up into a tree, for the leak story, and early SR stories. Today, three loan articles. Something is up. Once AP, Billboard, Reuters, and NY Times get a story, then we will see this spread. Trust me, they are well aware of this song releasing on RB2 today, as RB2 is the big news in the industry as a whole right now. Just wait, there will be official news this week or next.
#238 Re: Guns N' Roses » The silence on the eve of RB2 is deafening! » 904 weeks ago
They are quiet. When Shackler's was announced, there were over 400 stories listed in Googlenews for it. When Skwerl was busted, over 700. There are four articles about it in google news now, when typically for GNR, something this significant, would garner 100 + stories. Let's see what happens this week--I think the major news sources, which the secondary stories virtually clone, have been tipped off to a press release or a significant nugget of news. Azoff knows how to play this game. Part of the game, the most important part of the game right now is LOWERING EXPECTATIONS. Another part, is working with the press corp who covers music. I think he is working both angles right now--and silence is a part of the strategy. I still think, when this is going to happen, they want this to come in the form of a quick shock and awe.
FYI, get ready for a run on your stocks and at banks tomorrow--this is looking like 1920 again. Thanks for the deregulation Bush!

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.

Just hold tight, something is about to happen.
