Hanoi Rocks Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 So Jimmy Iovine (head of interscope) has heard 6 new GnR tracks, so i think this means that Axl has send those tracks to Jimmy, that Jimmy could choose the best song that Interscope can release as a single!! That means CD is closer of it´s release then ever!!! First single may drop maybe in 2-3 weeks, i think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truper Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I think it would be more likely that Axl himself chooses which song is going to be the first single, not someone else.It's his comeback ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Manson Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Interesting theory, But if Axl doesn't have 100% say in what the single is, then there will be confrontation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budweiser Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Interesting theory, But if Axl doesn't have 100% say in what the single is, then there will be confrontation... I think you may be right - but at the same time... If Axl isn't 100% sure after all this time that EVERY track on CD is worthy of a single, he may need to hold on to it for another couple years.....

There is always conflict between labels and bands about singles. I'm sure that Axl has a HUGE say in what it will be, but there is no way that he has the final say. However, in the case of Axl Rose, the label probably don't wanna risk anything and may well agree with whatever he says to ensure a smooth release. I think Axls power and influence in the business side of things is overestimated sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnfnrhead Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 the 6 songs could be his 'big guns' and he doesnt mind which is the first single. maybe he couldent decide between the six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ags_rule Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Didn't Axl make the comment about not having brought out the "big guns" on the 2002 tour? I'm guessing that some of the songs we're hearing on the 2006 tour are these "big guns" that he was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truper Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Yeah, but releasing something without the support of the main caracter is that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Riot Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Yeah, but releasing something without the support of the main caracter is that too.Nobody is saying that Axl doesn't play a massive part, but ultimately it is not his decision what the first single is - unless he had it written into his contract.

gunsguy Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 It would not soley lie in Axl's lap. First of all the band would need some direction from the record company that is paying for this monstrosity. Second fan input would be needed as well as the general publics view on the band, go to hard single wouldent work to the masses to soft would be not so good either, having said all that I truly belive that "Better" would do the band its justice, just remember that you have only heard an unfinished demoGunsguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
