Journeyman Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) I dont know if it has been discussed, I've been away for a while because of my work...Street of Dreams is the next single right? I have the promotional single since last week. Its strange cause I did a quick search in the GnR foruns and no one is talking about this...or is it just my impression? The promotional single has a distorted image of a chinese woman smoking in the cover. Edited February 9, 2009 by Journeyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) ok, journeyman sent me the pics via email, thanks dude, good stuffUh...it looks fake to me. The text on the pamphlet looks like it was done in Paint. Also, I don't think radio promos usually have artwork on the discs...

I remember the other demos being a blank gold Cd, nothing with an asian hooker on the front. And the shit on the left gives 100 times more info than anything they have given in the past with demos.

Wasn't intended as an insult towards you. I think as Allen said, at this point it wouldn't make sense to be creating fakes anymore.That being said, I have to say, I think the artwork is pretty shoddy looking...

Tom1447 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The artwork does look quite shoddy but hopefully that is because it is just a promo.If you get any more, pm me or post them here rock2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also was surprised when this showed up at the the record company, since noone was taoling about a new single...but hey, it is here...i dont know it it is the right choice or not...and we desperatly need a video!Trixareforkids - yes, there is a promotional cd for Better. Its like the CD promotional cd, but the cover is in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuffy78 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It looks fake for a couple reasons...1) It look like it was spray painted on.2) Single discs have writting on them not artwork3) The artwork is god awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priestess Mars Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The promotional single has a distorted image of a chinese woman smoking in the cover.Maybe it isn't fake. The woman sure seems to me to be Bai Ling, Mickey R's current squeeze.I don't think this would be a bad choice for a single. This is the most old school sounding of the new tracks.As for the TIL question. I think yes, he'd get ripped by some idiots if he released it as a single. But, if he'd hook up with the Twight folks and released it with the New Moon movie, he'd sell MILLIONS of copies. I can't really imagine him doing that though. He does a good job of keeping the GnR image up. I think there would have to be a young woman in his life like a niece or something who was in love with the series to go for it. My daughter sure would be happy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
