I got some news for you....

[Markus Asraelius]

I'm not sure if Better would do well on the radio although it is a very powerful song. Guess we'll just have to see..

[gav]

Trust me, it will be IRS. This song had a limited impact for me originally, but having heard the other leaks (which I think are amazing btw) IRS is the song that sticks with me. I sing it in the shower, I hum it whilst at work, fuck I love it.

I also think it has the most universal appeal of the 'new' songs. IMO!

[bazgnr]

I hope they release Better, for sure.? Unless there's a catchier, heavier, more in your face track that we haven't heard.? Better will grab the casual fan's attention and spark interest.? If it's any of the other leaks people are gonna have that "this is what took so damn long!?" impression.

I agree.  "Better" is killer, even in demo form.  Definitely a great choice for a 1st single.

[mikegiuliana]

Ok ant get me a ticket, sounds great, I will try too of course.. Well hope teh single happens..

[DCGNR2006]

Any news if this will be a ticket master thing , or will we have to go to Hammerstein?

[LittleFly]

That's odd. They have just added it then.
Because I typed the name of the venue earlier and Guns N'Roses wasn't listed.

[Mr.Intensity]

I think the singles should go....

1. Better (It's catchy at first, daring when it goes into the metal part, and strong enough to get the old fans interested and get new listeners interested)
2. The Blues (A great radio song, and touchy enough to even get a lot of casual music female listeners interested.)
3. Gnr's best track on C.D should come here...
4. Finish it off with "There Was a Time"

The problem with your list is nr 3, what if Better or The blues is the best track on CD?
What if it is more than 4 tracks that is strong enough to be singles ?
My point is that without listening to the tracks on CD, none of us should have opinions on which order they should release singles.

[Axl S]

Agreed.

I'd actualy have to say it should be Chinese Democracy.

It's named after album which seems to help people. It's a rocker not too long not too short. Many will go Chiense Democracy? Singles being released now I remember the album's named that oh yeah. It's catchy lines I remebered after one listen were "Even with an iron fist" "tim than you've got for masturbation" "chinese stew" "falun gong" i sing along to this song. IRS or Better could be good choice also. But maybe there is something. We can't properly judge without hearing the album but from what we've heard then yeah. If they've done some more work on silkwroms then maybe. Possibly Rhiad as well. Anything that sounds rockish no ballads as first single. Ballad can be second or third.

What if the songs we've heard aren't the best ones Axl has up his sleeve?

[Vegar]

Dude, If Rhiad or Silkworm is the first single from C.D, I'll eat my shoe!
First single is for sure gonna be rocker though.. Not the best track on C.D but a straight rocker, not to long (or short), and maybe a bit radiofriendly.. I think Better is maybe 'too hard' for the mainstream public.. 
Anyway, what a great day for GN'R news!! 

[Wooody]

I agree that twat, with that female-orgasmic ending is a great closer for a show

[dave-gnfnr2k]

The first single should be the best rocker on the album. The first single will have to sell the album, it needs to be a killer song.

[Eric]

If it's up to the record company, or even up to me, I would put out a rocker, very radio friendly, if you want to sell albums-don't try and make a statement about how different Chinese Democracy is than previous GNR work is-Van Halen made this mistake with Van Halen 3 (Without You), Motley Crue also when the came back in '97-I love GNR, though, even if they sold 10 records, don't get me wrong

[JB9988]

I want to fucking hear maddy so damn bad dude i hope thats their single. Or even a song that wont be on CD.

[Eric]

I'll get chills the first time I play Madagascar at the bar and have them blast it-its my fav new song, not sure if public would buy it right away, though
