Where were the hits on "Slash"

[Jackie Moon]

i just heard CD being played at a hockey game in montreal

they played it all the time last year, but this saturday was the first time i heard it this year.

love the fact they play it. they played better once too. they need to work shackers into the warm up.

--

i've heard by the sword once, i think i heard beautiful, dangerous once too. thats about it. i think both BTS and ghost are radio songs.

as for gnr, i only heard CD twice and didnt hear better once...but SOD was played quite a bit. ive heard it at least 10 times, which apparently is a lot.

That "hoo, hoo, hoo" chant in Shackler's with the solo would make a great goal song imo.

I heard Back From Cali and Beautiful Dangerous at the Strip Club I was at Saturday Night

[saulhudson88]

Yeah, "Slash" was a total and complete failure.

You have no life, do you?

[LightningBolt]

I've never heard a song from it on the radio besides "By the Sword" when it was first released.

[dario27]

fuck i just heard Slash in Manchester on the radio....... the whole gig, and now they're playing the whole Spaghetti incident... must be some special

[mrandyk]

By the word and Back From Cali got played a shitload around here...

Here as well, do any of you guys actually own a radio? Or do you just listen to shitty radio stations? You should find the few left out there that actually play rock music and not this bullshit coming out now.

Beautiful Dangerous = hit

Promise = hit

Gotten = hit

Only one of them was released a single.

Promise could never be a hit.

As for BD, it didn't even crack the Hot 100. WITH a video. If BD was a hit then CD (the single) was a blockbuster.

It had the potential to be a modest hit. The promotion just wasn't very effective, which isn't surprising considering I wouldn't even know what stations would/did play it. Classic rock/Pop/Top 40?

Oh God. Where have I heard that one before?

[FuddMckagan]

Meh, all of the singles get played on the radio a shit load over here, and Australia too. I know a few other countries get them quite frequently.

The US is just letting everybody down.

It's true whether you like it or not. Hard rock doesn't have widespread crossover appeal today, you have to do something really bold to get attention. Slash's audience is pretty much classic GNR/classic rock fans, which is fine.

Yeah I understand. It's just funny hearing that from a Slash fan when it's so often used by Axl fans talking about CD.

[tim2nyy]

Who said I was only a Slash fan?

No one.

Hear Slash tracks on the radio here in Chicago way more than CD. The 3 singles he's released are not the one's I'd have thought would catch fire, with the possible exception of Beautiful Dangerous mostly 'cause of Fergie.

Promise would be at least a modest hit, Gotten would be a solid hit and I Hold On would be the MONSTER hit. The latter a far bigger hit than anything on CD. Hoping Slash still puts it out though summer woulda been great.

Interesting if true that Crucify the Dead was originally planned as lead off single. Think that coulda done pretty damn well on Rock Radio charts. By The Sword such an amazing tune, so no knock, but it's pretty clear with the choice of singles he wasn't prioritizing the most commercial tracks and being obsessed with sales....

"I Hold On" would be a monster hit?

You're criminally insane.

[agno]

Some songs are played a lot in Sweden.

[Vadin]

hits belongs to the 20th century.

But at some point they were all hits to me. Well, except "I hold on".

yeah i loled. same shit, different shovel. here come the excuses.

i like the slash album because it puts things in perspective. you can appreciate something without it ripping up the world, who is to tell you otherwise?

well, besides dead flower.

between the awesomeness of contraband and CD, the underwhelmingness of cd / slash, i think axl and slash are neck and neck post gnr. it seems appropriate. we cant have either one pulling away with it or else the extremists will start getting ridiculous. keep it even, keep it interesting.

[Signifying nothing]

Popularity doesn't infer quality, why does it matter?

I ripped it onto my ipod a month back and've yet to properly listen to it, but from what little I have heard it's not all that bad, and certainly not a Scream.

[shotgunblues1978]

So any sign of these massive hits yet? I thought we'd hear multiple hit songs on the album "all through the summer." Maybe they meant summer 2011?

[Dead Flower]

too complex. prog rock.

I hear Slash's music now and then from time to time on TV, Radio, Internets. The world isn't flat but somehow Chinese Democracy has fallen off the map.
