Regarding all the rumors of "Better" being the single

[masterdan]

Hey, I saw a lot of threads about "Better" being the new single maybe next week.  I just emailed our biggest local rock station about it, and here's the response I got:

Hey Dan,
 
"I haven't seen any dates for the new GNR single.  I'll check with the record label on Monday."

If anyone else has emailed or talked to their local radio station...post it here.

is this allowed to be discussed?

This is what the program director of a local station sent me:


I've heard that the album will be out on Nov 21.
 
My Geffen/Interscope rep hasn't returned any calls or e-mails, so I thinking they're trying to be 100% sure that it's going to come out before they do anyting.
 
Thanks for the e-mail.

Why wouldn't it be?  What would be the point of stopping people from talking about stuff?  There are tons of other GNR message boards.

I would be surprised if H-D would be using a different song than the 1st single in their ad. ?I can't think of any music I've heard in an ad from a new album that wasn't a single.

[JuicySwoos]

I emailed my station, but have yet to hear a response.  I am not expecting anything of subtance if or when they do respond.  In fact, the boobs said they didn't think GNR was going to do a show in my town, and they were wrong.

So why do a select few radio stations say they have the new single?  Are they lying?

Yes.

not per se. They could have the Better demo that got leaked. And since there is a big chance Better will be the single soon, they've got 'the single' but they actually have the demo version of it.

Stop worrying about it - its obvious that the ball starts rolling this week. Enjoy the ride!

That station in CT played the leaked demo, not the new single like they claimed.

These radio stations claim they have something exclusive to get listeners, but in fact it's the same "old" leaks.

Playing them on the radio is in my opinion wrong. The band, or record company, didn't mean them to be played on the radio.

Remember after the leaks countless small rock radio stations claiming IRS was the new single and they had a mastered copy etc and it would be played shortly and it never materialised, they were lying, these radio stations probably are too.

I don't, but I'll see what I can find out on Monday.

I still think "better" will not be the 1st single.

[madagas]

Why?

[AxlReznor]

All evidence point to it being the first single.

[nesquick]

- No DJ received the 1st single yet - it could be anything - "better" or "prostitute" or "This I Love" or "The blues"....we don't know.
- No DJ received the studio version of "better"
- Nobody said "better" will be the 1st single. Did Merck say that? Did Axl say that? Did Mysteron say that? There is no valid source and no proof.
It's speculation... I remember last february everybody said "IRS is the new single"... including the DJ... everybody believed it.... and everybody was wrong.
