Tom-Ass Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Good to hear they have been playing it on WAAF so much.. I have been tuning in more than I usually do and haven't heard it.. I am staying the course of 107.3 in the car now now until I hear it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real McCoy Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Shadow debuted at #22 on the rock radio airplay chart this week. It was the most added song of the week at the format, and had the biggest increase in spins. Off to a great start! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billly B Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Yesterday was the first time I heard it on the radio. It is perfectly timed for radio play and it fits the format that most classic rock stations play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliehoodger Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 That' great to know it even charted. I used to be able to get around the billboard site but its too annoying now. Btw I'm waiting for the obigatory "ITS NOT A GREAT CHART POSITION FOR A BAND THIS DAY AND AGE...." stuff like with the video count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stro Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I assume they didn't just clean up just one song, so I'd imagine they remastered all the available AFD era demos/unreleased and will likely do the same for UYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good live show/album on blu Ray or audio format... Yes this is what I’m wanting as well. I don’t give a fuck about demos. Give me live stuff, audio recordings, video. I’d blow a grand on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, Shadow seems to be doing quite well for a song which hasn't been too extensively promoted. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I bet the other demos on the box set are decent quality at best. Won't sound anything like SOYL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash's WOF lyric video came up on my suggestions and that came out 4 years ago and SOYL has already passed it up. Who's to say how it will do long term. I think all things considered it's doing par for the course considering it's lyric video and it's being advertised as an "old" release that's just come out. I'm sure by June this time it will have double digits plays. On a side note to this - childish gambino is actor Donald Glover. He's a pretty famous actor and is young Lando in the Han Solo movie. I'm not a fan of his music or rap/r&b but calling him "some guy" undercuts how hilarious this guy is in comedy. Check out clips from the show Communtiy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be another way to dissappoint the fans. I'll wait until release before I buy anything beyond SOYL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can act alot better or entertainin me in another way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all good! The Mediabase chart isn’t really well known outside of industry circles, but if you work in radio, the goal is to be a reporting station to that chart as it goes a huge way in shaping chart positions and holds a level of prestige and influence.

Ahhh.. I can take a deep breath now.. Just heard it on 107.3 WAAF a little while ago.. "Now Trending" Guns n' Roses - Shadow Of Your Love" Noticed the little intro banter was cut out. Wonder if that was an actual radio edit that was sent out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) So earlier I was watching old random gnr news clips and came upon a video of the band looking at fan art of themselves in Japan in 1988, and the Live from the Jungle version of SOYL was playing the background. its so weird to think that a song that was played on Japanese TV exactly 30 years ago is now being seen as a "new" song (sort of). It's also weird to think that they had this very nice-sounding version from Mike Clink just sitting there for decades, and chose instead to release demos of inferior quality on Live from the Jungle and the LLAD single. The fuck were they thinking? Quick side note: being the stupid millennial that I am, I didn't think fan art was really a thing in 1988 lol. Im kinda surprised the fans were able to find all sorts of photos of the band to draw from without having the Internet as a resource. Being as young as I am, it's actually hard for me to imagine virtually anything getting done without the use of the Internet, to some extent. heres the news vid, in case anyone is interested (SOYL starts about halfway through, I think): Edited May 10, 2018 by rocknroll41 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
