« on: January 31, 2007, 01:04:54 AM »
When the time comes to put out a video should GnR do a world premiere on the 10 spot.? I think it would be a great idea cause it would market to new fans who range from 17-24.? Since MTV never really plays video's anymore ( except early in the mornings) i've seen some bands premiere their videos at say 11pm.? I know its along shot but you never know.

Who is this Ax you speak of? No offense, but I think it's a lame idea. I don't think they should put themselves out their like that. It's one thing to reach new audiences, and it's entirely another to know your audience and reach the right audiences. Suggestions like this and them playing SNL just don't make sense for this band. No matter how popular they are or once were, a band like Guns N' Roses is still a band like Guns N' Roses, if you know what I mean. They're not U2, they don't have that broad appeal and they are by design a very obtuse band.

GNR should make a video and release it on myspace and youtube.  Screw MTV or MTV2 or whatever.  At best youd get them to play the video during the credits of "Next" or "Parental Control" and it would just make the target fans who now tend to be more into underground/independent stuff not want to go out and buy an MTV hyped album.

Are you one of those people that thinks being mainstream is 'selling out'?

Seriously though, theres no reason why they can't be popular again.

I know this may seem like grasping at straws, but what do you guys/gals think ??

What is the Chinese New Year's Day in Year 2007?
February 18, 2007 is the first day of the Chinese new year.

Seems like a good time for a single or some sort of promo to be tied in. Guess we'll have to wait and see.   ok

I think it would be cool if you were chinese and knew it was the new year, but really I think most gnr fans don't know or care about the chinese new year

Unfortunately, you are probably right. Here's to hoping anyways...    yes

I wouldn't expect it, but it does make sense and it would not surprise me...

Febuary 4th - Superbowl (commerical) or Febuary 6th - Axl's birthday he announces final release date
Febuary 18th/19th - Single drops
March 20th - Chinese Democracy drops

Makes sense... but don't hold your breath...

They could be popular to rock fans again, but they will never be a mainstream cross the board hit ever again.  Sorry, it would be creepy if they were.  Axl is almost 45 and the mainstream is filled with 8-14 year old girls who would never listen to GNR.  The band might rule the rock world again, but will never be mainstream popular.

I thought the Harley Davidson ad with Better was a good promotional idea, but it never aired, I guess, so who knows, maybe the whole idea has been dumbed. Anyways, in my opinion, it would've been a bit silly to run the ad with Paradise City for couple of months, then change the song.

So my point is, should Gn'R make a new commercial deal for example with Coca Cola? It seems that they are doing that festival sponsored by them, so maybe that could wrap a deal about an ad or two.

Think about it, Better (or some other song) in an ad with probably one of the best known product globally, spread around the world, it would be huge exposure.

What do you think? Should The Guns stay away from commercials altogether? Or do you still wanna see that HD ad aired?

uhm...it has both advantages and disadvantages.
i wouldn't want to see my favorite band associated with a brand like Coke....i mean, i'm thankful to them for bringing gnr to the fans, but i don't rate coke all that much....

but at the same time, a tv ad for coke gets aired in pretty much every country in the world...and then some...so the potential for increasing cd sales though that medium is huge....

depends on your point of view i suppose.

P.S.
I'd still like to see that HD ad...its a niche product, so it would appeal to only a select few, but i'd still like to see it.
if it was done, and the money was spent on production of it, it would be silly not to air it.
