street teams are groups of fans of a band that get packages promoting new stuff (new dvd, new tour, new album, etc.) they get stuff like stickers, posters, clings (these smaller posters that use static to cling to stuff), bumper stickers, etc. that have the bands name, the album name, release date and website so other non fans, or long ago fans can find out about the new album/tour/whatever so it sells better.

So when was GN'R supposed to get some? Anyone? I know this was talked about before...

Probably when there's something to promote.

There were street teams for the 2002 North American tour.
Also, some plans on how to organize future street teams were made in 2004 (I think). But nothing was promoted.
Some people think the teams were working in 2004, but that wasn't the case.

I would encourage people not to engage in street team activity; I know when I read messages from street teamers on other boards, it annoys me to no end. Plus, idiots carelessly toss around empty titles like East Coast Street Team President, as if that justifies spamming. It is better to spread the word of Axl by word of mouth when and where appropriate and not engaging in the base actions of die hard Britney Spears and/or Linkin Park fanatics.

That's a waste, and no one even sees those things, people just assume its for a garage sale or something. IT's just clutter. Crappy bands do that here in L.A. and then they drop off the face of the earth.

Why does GNR need street teams
?
Granted it's not the original lineup but they're not a fucking garage band out of New Jersey. Just buy CD when and if it comes out and buy tickets to the concerts.

Some people tried to start a street team in 2004/5. The furthest they got was a website and forum.
It was funny because they called it the "official" Guns n Roses Street Team, and recieved a email from the GnR Management telling them to stop it.

I'm serious. I was not even "trying" to be funny. It's his job to promote the band.

Axl doesn't need street teams. The very second he gives the 'go' signal for CD, it will be on CNN.

Well, it depends on how you look at it!
I would do the street team for showing my support to Axl and the band. Not for making this the best selling album. I would only do it for
the fun, and support!

GNR is my all time favorite band but......................
give me a break on having them have street teams.
This is Axl Rose for christ's sake. EVERYONE has heard of him and GNR and CD will have NO problem selling itself.

The day after Axl's new band played the MTV MVA in 2002, they were on CNN actually... The journalist said after having commented other bands :"...and
this
was presented as Guns N'Roses although Axl Rose is the only original member."
Don't expect too much help from CNN to promote CD...
