Estranged Reality Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm listening to The Blues from Rock in Rio III and it sounds so amazing, epic and powerful. I really think if they want the album out this year, Axl should make a surprise appearance on some type of major event or talk show and perform The Blues with the new band. It would win over a lot of people. I think it will even win over more listeners than Better because it has a November Rain appeal - it would attract average people who aren't really into rock and it'll also interest those of us who DO like rock and appreciate those aspects of the song.I think it would be the highlight of my week - heck, month - to see Axl perform this song in front of a mass audience. I really wish he'd go back to the style of 2001 where it was a bit faster-paced and the vocals were "cleaner" with the electric guitars on lead rather than BBF's acoustic, but oh well.

The handfull of negative people on this forum? I like your idea to promote the CD, but they dont need to "win over" anyone, those negs will buy it anyway. Actually they will get it before us cause they probobly dont have a job and will just bum money from mom or a friend and take a bus to best buy andd buy it.I agree with your cmparison too, The blues is more epic.

vicious Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 the only way people will notice him is if he releases CD non fans don't give a shit about him nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldwideboss Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I don't agree. I love The Blues, but I don't think that's the way GN'R should make their way back. They should come back to the ROCK scene, and to do so, Better would be the better option, excuse the pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final_touches Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The Blues is more of a complex song, you can't get into at once. Better is more catchy and radio friendly. People who will listen to these two songs for the first time (like the audience of some major event) would prefer Better over The Blues imo.Here comes the "but": I don't expect some kind of performance at a major event, because the album is nowhere to be seen.

Gunzen Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) the only way people will notice him is if he releases CD non fans don't give a shit about him nowadaysUmm.....what the hell does that mean. Does any "non fan" of any group give a shit about said group?As far as Better being a better song choice for a single, yeah, probobly, but I think the rock ballad would hold onto a wider variety of listeners in the beginning. That being said, they probobly should open with more of a bang, so Better would be for lack of a better term, be better.

potbreath Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The Blues blows!!!!!This would be the way to ensure the album is a flop.ANY one of the new songs would be worlds better than that bloated cheesy ass song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimMorrison4 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The Blues would be a terrible song choice. Not because the song is bad, but if a nostalgia act is trying to make a comeback, they need to play something a little more up-tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
