DieselDaisy Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Oasis did release an eleven year b-side as a single (''The Masterplan'') to sell a greatest hits album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock music in 2018 is so weak that maybe other veteran acts could follow in GnR's footsteps and beat out young bands new releases with their old b sides too Commercial rock music is weak today but other bands are certainly no GnR.

My light hearted point was more that the old school sound has more appeal. So even though veteran acts release current sounding new singles, those singles often arent as well embraced.

I can imagine how well a Zep or Who tune could do. Or theres the interesting journey of Tiny Dancer. Released in 72, really popularized in 2000 in the film Almost Famous, it went US Platinum in 2011 and a official video was finally made for it in 2017. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only person whose takeaway from this article was that 'new' music did better than an old b-side, and they should be focusing on new music if getting to the top of the charts is their goal? It's an accomplishment that this song charted at all, but if it proves anything it's that people are hungry for anything fresh from Axl and Slash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 It's 17th right now but still miles away from being near the top. Needs to at least double the radio plays for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Pretty cool to see them on the charts again...and with a 30+ year-old song to boot! Hopefully they take notice and realize that with the enormous success of the reunion/NITL tour, if they were to release a new album, it would undoubtedly go multi-platinum within weeks. Get 'er done, G N' R!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stepping stone to new music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't SOYL chart position for Mainstream Rock - a niche chart - and not the general chart? You know, like the Hot 100 or iTunes top 10? I dunno, making the top 20 of a niche chart doesn't seem like a big deal to me? Not to rain on everyone's parade, just trying to keep a level head about it. Now if SOYL cracked the top ten of Billboard Hot 100 or iTunes, then we'd have reason to feel excited. There is a glimmer of hope for Rock though. Arctic Monkeys has just scored no.1 in the UK with their new album (except you wouldn't really class their album as Rock! LOL). Not sure how they do in the States though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
