snconnolly Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 But there isnt a real vehicle for music videos these days other than Youtube for bands like GNR. GNR came up during the video era, and 20 years later, videos for real rock bands just arent as relavant as they once were. Stations like MTV and VH1 rarely air videos, so you have to seek them out, whether it be youtube or offical DVD releases. Theres no point in dumping millions of dollars into videos nobodies going to see, other than on mtv2 at 4 a.m. Its fucking redic.I agree with you. It's no longer an effective avenue... which hurts to say because I grew up on GN'R videos... I suppose a youtube video could get a kind of underground counter-culture pro-new-GN'R movement going... but that's pretty much how GN'R exists these days anyways IMHO. What Guns needs to do IMHO is somehow show (and it ain't going to be easy) that they're truly ready to "pick up where the old band left off" (to quote DJ Ashba). Hate to break out this tired old rumor/dream/etc... but to get massive attention back- IMHO Guns needs to do something MAJOR like KICK ASS at a Super Bowl Half-Time Show or at Euro 2012 (European Soccer Championships), or on Saturday Night Live, etc. and pair it up with professional promotion for either a CD re-release with new art-work and a quality bonus track (ideally a rocker for a blockbuster movie like YCBM back in the day), or a live blu-ray DVD, or... They've had a couple of these type of opportunities in the last decade or so- and they've always seemed to foul the pitch off. They need one more crack at it and to really step into it this time... Positively, Axl's finally got a band with not only the chops- but the right image the public expects for Guns N' Roses. The time could finally be right.if they were booked for the superbowl halftime show axl would probably take the stage midway through the 4th quarter......

tomfriend Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 If Axl wants to re-release CD and get it attention he feels it wasn't afforded the first time, the easiest way to keep newcomers and veteran fans interested is to put it out as a 2 or 3 disc set, in other words Chinese Democracy I, II and maybe III all together. Then he can hit the road for as long as he feels like off the back of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Release all the CD songs. Keep all the best Robin Finck and Buckethead solos and riffs, and one brand new album with contributions by DJ and more by Bumblefoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
