Does Chinese Democracy Have Any Singles Left In It?

[axlsfury]

I've always felt that TWAT was a good bridge between the sound of the old band and the new one. To me it fits in there along Estranged and November Rain, but with a modern feel. It's got great lyrics, a nice warm Les Paul guitar tone in the first solo, then goes modern and breaks new ground for GNR with some soulful shredding (outro) that to me is one of the best parts musically of the album. It's so powerful. I know the song is a bit long, but I could see this being well received on the radio. Look at The Day That Never Comes by Metallica.....this is kind of GNR's version of that and I could see it being a success.

Not two years later, it doesn't. I don't know why people are insisting we should have more singles at this point. Even the singles we had didn't get any promotion, and dropped away quickly. It'd just happen even quicker with a new one.

Better was the only single........well maybe shacklers; but shacklers sounds like an unfinished song.

fix shackler's up a bit, and I think it's a hit.

No other singles on CD.

I think the only other single of than a proper Better promotion is I.R.S. That song had HUGE potential, i mean it charted when it leaked.....that says something.

[LightningBolt]

"Better" had the most potential, I think, and should've been the first single.

At this point it would be pointless to release anymore singles.

modern rock radio sucks.

i wouldnt love new GNR if they had anything really fit what modern rock radio plays. (looking at you Nickleback.)

[SLCPUNK]

Ummm....nope.

That's funny, because where I live, Chinese Democracy charted higher than Better.

See, it's all speculation at best, and will differ by region.

There Was a Time certainly *could* have been a single. Compare it to past GN'R singles and it holds up. Alas, it was never done.

[sweetness]

I still think Catcher in the Rye has the most single potential of any song on the album

[AbominableHoman]

Nope. Not at all. Certainly not without promotion.

I.R.S. would be the only one that stood a chance on modern rock stations.

[ITW 2012]

They've waited far too long.

[WhatsHerface]

It's too late now. =/

[Aussiegun]

Street of Dreams with The Blues beginning.

[star]

Chinese Democracy + more singles = no chance

They need proper management for next album.

Release the album, then release a single + video each month, until there's no more singles remaining.

To do this, you need single worth material in the first place.

Maybe they should just stick to releasing albums.

What does it matter where he lives, your point fell dead on the ground the moment you made it. Better didn't go anywhere as a single and neither did SOD. I have never ever once heard either song played on the radio but heard CD played all the time. Even still played today from time to time.

I don't understand how songs can be in singles charts when no singles were released in stores. Other than iTunes I don't see how they get those numbers.

[wasted]

if they do a video that's going to live up to past videos, they need to do TWAT or Catcher or Both. Maybe do This I Love.

I think they should get videos done for all the songs on CD then release them as a dvd.

[mrandyk]

Better was the single (heard it on the radio tonight along with Sympathy for the Devil, two shockers). They shouldve made it the lead single and promoted it, I believe it couldve gone somewhere. I dont think any other song on the album aside from Streed of Dreams could have very good sucess. CD had moderate sucess because it was the lead single and the hype was very high, any song wouldve done well as the lead single.

Did you read my post you twit. It wasn't matter of making point, as it was stating an opinion.

F**ck, did you even read the title of thread. It's an opinion thread, retard.

[HB3]

They could maybe make This I Love a single now. It might be a little too late though.

The world is through with CD. The only people who care about that record anymore is us.
