With the rumours of a 08 Release, why don't the guys crack on with a World Tour, i know its not as simple as that but the last two years, the guys have toured and maybe a mammoth tour this year could gather momentum for a 08 release, at the end of the Year. ?

Now, now, play nice.  Yeah a tour would be nice.  The album would be nicer.  Let's focus on that first and foremost.  Although IF the record company really is gonna hold up the release someone's gonna have to figure out some way to release the beast.

Some high profile gigs to get the most mileage would be a smart move. Something nationally televised to remind people GNR is still active and to erase the 02 VMA performance ( that was the last time GNR did something on TV in the US.)

I just read that Metallica is delaying their album till sept so could we see say a May June release for CD and Metallica in sept 2008 could be the year Rock Returned.  Geffen should put this out before Metallica releases in sept or dare I say it could steal Chinese Democracy's number Huh? or better yet have a Guns n Roses Metallica Tour.

Release GN'R and Metallica Within a month or two of each other, just like in '91 with UYI and  The Black Album. That would really be awsome!

Whenever the album comes out I think I'm going to have a heart attack. Seeing the cover and tracklist would be enough to give me shortness of breath and make my arm tense up.  Tongue

I'd be cheaper to get a video done by their own staff and release through myspace and facebook for exposure. If it is a huge success, the record company will have no choice but to follow with a proper release unless they want to be seen as proper behind the wagon cretins.

As of my last post I would also use 5 diffrent ways for exposure of the album in 2008.

1. MTV- Video only maybe a special
2. Myspace
3. Offical Website
4. I Tunes
5. Appearances

Music Video wise I would suggest a setting of introducing the new members with a break up story to the song  Better.   Have the video start off with Axl breaking up with stephanie and then the break up of the band and then have Axl doing a live performance with cut scenes of him having trouble with the girl and band and saying should of known better ( hint the songs lyrics) I think it would be a great idea for a video.  Then have the band playing in an empty room maybe like their rehearsing the song type of atomosphere and just have shots of Axl, Tommy, Chris, Richard, Robin, Frank, BBF, Dizzy the whole band playing the song.

PUT ME IN CHARGE OF THE PROJECT !!!! PLEASE GEFFEN !!! HA HA ok im done for the night.

someone give me some of whatever he's on?

but in reality, for promotion (I know I'm just a fan, but hey, I think our opinions count)...

Like the previous poster said, MySpace and Offical Site should be big. Lots of promotion on MySpace, front page banners and promotion out the ass on there. Revamp the official site and have news weekly, specials on there like tour dates *cough cough, for 08 *cough*. Then some articles and band info and crap, stuff official sites should have.

Appearances galore. Leno, Letterman, Kimmel, etc. All the talk shows and stuff. Play the MTV VMA's again, I don't care. I'd just love to see GNR out there again in the full public view for everyone again, back on top of rock.

i still stand by my statement in another thread that if they changed the skin on the login page of myspace and facebook, they would reach just about everyone in high school and facebook about the release. but whatever, i hate to be pessimistic but mainstream rock's too soft nowadays; i don't see CD selling as well as we all expect it to.

Thanks 2 those who went 2 Mustang Harry's on May 12th. That made my first concert experience something I'll never forget. Never did I feel like I fit in anywhere as much as I did amongst you strangers

iTunes is a must. Apple is selling digital music like hotcakes and lawd knows the Apple fanboys will buy anything Apple endorses.

Call it selling out or whatever but I think a GNR iTunes commercial would be hotness.

I don't think that the band just took the 2nd half of the year off last year for the fun of it. I'm sure the goal was to get it released before Christmas.

So it'd only make sense that next time they tour it's in support of the album.
