Chinese Destruction Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 “Sweet Child” is at #7 in the UK rock charts. http://www.apple.com/euro/itunes/charts/top10rocksongs.html Should we (the UK fans) formally thank Axl Rose/Guns N' Roses for the amazing World Tour/”Chinese Democracy” and at the same time apologize for the antics of some (whilst they were in the UK) by throwing our weight behind the track and getting it to number one?I think this is the best opportunity we've had in quite some time to reaffirm our support for Axl Roses/GN'R by doing something special.The campaign could be run in conjunction with the “Bernadette” initiative. Both schemes will compliment one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRocker Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 “Bernadette” must not be linked with the Guns N Roses name, no matter what kind of campaign you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest axleu Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 “Bernadette” must not be linked with the Guns N Roses name, no matter what kind of campaign you are talking about.I think linking the two campaigns would be cool! Like linking the past and the present of GN'R. Yeah, even though Bernadette is not a Guns n' roses song. Go Bumblefoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Get your friends to buy the songs. If we already own all their music, what would the point be? It made the news, Axl gets a few thousand in his royalty check next year from Steve Jobs, mission accomplished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunoze Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Doing something special, is to buy a song we already have, and put more money into Axl's pocket? I understand it would be nice for Axl to see his bank balance growing, but what benefit will it do us the fans exactly? Are you expecting a gig to be planned on the back of it or something? If your not expecting anything in return, and your just doing it for Axl's benefit, he will get more if you just send him a cheque.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) You got to hand it to Slash. That intro will live on and on and on.. longer after you and I, and its creators. Edited January 22, 2011 by star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That intro will live on and on and on.. longer after you and I, and its creators.Love Duff's sweet ass bass intro. Love hearing the bass get some solo time!The rock chart doesn't mean much anymore though does it? It doesn't pull in much sales but its still cool to see GNR on it of course.

Bruno P. Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) You got to hand it to Slash. That intro will live on and on and on.. longer after you and I, and its creators.You got to hand it to Rush (link below) and Axl - you know, without him Slash wouldn't ever play the thing again. And he wouldn't record the song. And the song wouldn't exist - the chorus, the vocals, the lyrics, etc., etc. Edited January 25, 2011 by Bruno Poeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That intro will live on and on and on.. longer after you and I, and its creators.Love Duff's sweet ass bass intro. Love hearing the bass get some solo time!It all works so nicely. Izzy's chord progressions really bring the whole thing together. Axl's lyrics are great.But that riff is something special. It'll still be here long after we're all gone. Guitarists dream of coming up with at least one of those in their career... Edited January 25, 2011 by moreblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saulhudson88 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sweet Child O' Mine was written by the amazing band GN'R. This "GN'R" has nothing to do with GN'R greatest hits: they are simply covering those songs, so they absolutely don't get credits for the fact that SCOM is still recogized as a monster hit.

The SCOM riff would probably sound stupid on any other piece of music. I find it funny that NO other singer can pull off that song vocally. Not even close to Axl.

Or the song. Edited February 1, 2011 by moreblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
