Guest NGOG Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The press would have given it attention for having Axl vocals on it, meaning exposure to his work and he could have made some decent amount of money off it and gained a few new fans from it.But, it doesn't take an official release for the media to report. In fact, the media enjoy leaks more. If you take a look at Going Down on Google, you will see all the major websites have reported on the song with Stinson as the central theme of most articles.With The Replacements back in action, it's not like Stinson is in dire need of publicity.

OJones90 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I wouldn't be happy tbh if a song of mine was leaked a long time before the album release. And when it's not even finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what's the point of recording songs if the fans can't buy them because they will never get released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitch_77 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I wouldn't be happy tbh if a song of mine was leaked a long time before the album release. And when it's not even finishedI wouldn't be happy to wait 1, 2 or even 3 hour for a show, yet it happened to plenty of people who went to see a gnr show.For the leaks, shit happens.

magisme Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It's a convenient excuse. Now Beta and Axl can do what they're best at: blaming everyone but themselves for their constant failures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockerman Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 heres where the Lies formula would do sooo much for the GNR. Back in 87 when GNR knew they were going to take some time to get the new UYI album out, managment and the band went in and pounded out some new songs and threw them together with the live like a suicide album. THey did this mini album as per se to tide the fans over while they got it together for UYI. It really is a no duh situation here . Doesnt require a PHD in rock in roll business managment to figure this one out. # 1 keep your fans happy and their wallets open. THey say there is no such thing as bad publicity. The focus on this one song in the last week said something about the new vision of GNR. On the whole the message was get back to rock and roll and stop trying to write rock operettas... get back to the street stories and the grind of grit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Gun Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 They have had 5 years to put something out. Things are bound to leak in this day and age. Rather than blame their poor security measures or disingenuous employees responsible for stealing the track, they blame the fans. Fucken laughable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Honestly if they are indeed annoyed I just don't care at this point.These leaks seem like the only real vehicle for us to hear unheard material so as far as I am concerned keep 'em coming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Why not just be happy that the decade old song is getting such a positive response from the fans????Understandable to be man that somebody is leaking music...........but the overall feeling should be of absolute JOY that so many people are loving the song.It's like they have forgotten that Axl has released one ablum in the last 20 years and his MILLIONS OF FANS would do just about anything to hear new music from their favorite singer...........that means NOTHING to Beta and Axl.It's almost like they constantly try and find reasons to delay releasing music. Pretty sad. The response to this leak should be energizing the GnR camp to release music. Instead they are furious? Friggin weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquor & Whores Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) maybe they (managament?) leaked the song deliberately, to make some fuss along the fansyou never know Edited August 23, 2013 by Liquor & Whores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twsmith Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 maybe they (managament?) leaked the song deliberately, to make some fuss along the fansyou never knowAgreed, I think it's a bit odd that something that was recorded 7-9? years ago suddenly gets leaked a couple months after their last concert dates. Something's up and this is just the thing to flare up interest again. It sucked me back here to the forums after a couple years away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Now we know that they are annoyed, at least Beta and Del. Being annoyed is understandable, but unfortunately they're not taking the opportunity to make this negative into a positive (maybe release a finished version as a single, not to radio but to at least make money) but instead are creating a PR nightmare towards their most devoted followers.

Crash Diet Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm gonna start by saying I REALLY LIKE CD. But having said that, leaks are the only way we even get to sniff any kind of new music by this band. So I don't really give a fuck what Beta, Axl, or anyone else thinks. I will buy any new material they put out, but thats the problem huh? I, like so many have been through this shit before. I have been following the dinosaur movement of, this man really, since 1995. I have bought the following the DAY of their release; live era, end of days soundtrack, greatest hits, and chinese democracy (both cd and vinyl). I have attended may concerts also. I have done everything I can do as a fan, so I don't feel one bit guilty having these leaks. I fucking deserve it honestly. Just like I didn't feel bad getting leaks back in 06'. So I guess we should expect a new album in 2015, if history repeats.agreed with this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlrod Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Considering GnR posted a link to where it was streaming on their Facebook page, I doubt they're that pissed..... they're probably behind it anyways.Marketing Strategy.Some great drinking toasts out there.....

jimb0 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 If I were Axl I'd be upset. I hope those were not his final backing vocals. They don't touch anything he did on Angel Down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Don't agree, love the backing vox, especially on the first "nothing's ever good enough for you", and "just as fast as you can". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
