Popular Post BlueJean Baby Posted May 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2018 Guns N' Roses Make First Mainstream Rock Songs Chart Appearance Since 2009 5/11/2018 by Kevin Rutherford One veteran of Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart makes a grand return after nine years, while another act makes its first visit in 13 years. Guns N' Roses debut at No. 31 on Mainstream Rock Songs (dated May 12) with "Shadow of Your Love," released May 4 to promote the upcoming reissue of the band's debut studio album, 1987's Appetite for Destruction. The song, written by frontman Axl Rose and childhood friend Paul Tobias before Guns N' Roses even came to be, earned 1.1 million audience impressions in three days of airplay across all rock radio formats in the U.S. in the week ending May 7, according to Nielsen Music. "Shadow" is GN'R's first track to crack Mainstream Rock Songs in nearly a decade and its 22nd entry overall. The group, which boasts eight top 10s, had last charted with "Better," which hit No. 18 in January 2009. "Shadow" is the band's first radio single featuring its original lineup of Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler since "Patience," which peaked at No. 7 in March 1989. It's the first with Slash, Stradlin and McKagan since "Sympathy for the Devil" (No. 10, 1994). The reissue of Appetite is due June 29 and features 73 songs among four discs, plus a "Locked N' Loaded" edition that also includes the release on vinyl and digital formats, among other perks. 'JAM' SESSION: Meanwhile, Skindred's "That's My Jam" bows at No. 38 on Mainstream Rock Songs, concluding a dry spell on the chart for the band that exceeds GN'R's. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/chart-beat/8455677/guns-n-roses-mainstream-rock-songs-chart%3fsessionid=ZDQNZd6V3owm_4RaGFioUfMlc_c2GdPWURVwCX22rW0 6 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle-Natives Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The B-side from the Live and Let Die single is not the Hollywood Rose version, of SOYL, anybody know the facts on it? I assume it's from the live like a suicide sessions and that's what I was expecting to hear with the boxset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Live And Let Die b-side version is a demo that pre-dates the Live Like A Suicide/ Live From The Jungle version. It will not be on the boxset (but the Suicide/Jungle version will be).

So there are three versions of SOYL in the boxset: the one that has been released as a single, which is the -unheard until now- try-out Mike Clink recording, the Live From The Jungle version (on the B sides N' EP's cd) and the LALD version (on the Sound City Sessions cd).

For some reason I thought the Sound City tracks WERE the Live Like A Suide tracks (including Shadow), just without the crowd noises. I could be wrong, though. EDIT: just looked it up. You're correct. The Live Like A Suicide tracks (including Shadow) were from the Pasha Studios sessions, not the Sound City sessions. So, yes, all three GNR versions of Shadow are gonna be on the box set, along with two versions of each of the other Suicide songs. I've never heard these Sound City versions, so im looking forward to it! Edited May 12, 2018 by rocknroll41 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, many people define success in different ways, some people might think having the number one touring act in the world and charting today with a song you threw out 30 years ago isn't too shabby, clearly not everyone, but some people. 1 1 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
