Most bands would kill top have a top 30 hit at radio.

And the song is just getting started. The radio campaign will likely last a few months. A good start is a good start. Let's see how fast it can crack the top 20 and then hopefully crack the top 10 like Hard Skool did.

Anything that cracks the top 40 is considered a hit. There are thousands of bands trying to get their song on the radio.

It's the full 8m 53s LP version of November Rain on all the 7" singles back in the day.

You should be ashamed for banning me.

I got there about an hour before closing. After the song played the second time in a row, people started looking around and looking annoyed. So I went outside to the patio, which was completely empty and quiet, and had a better quality speaker than the speakers inside. So I hit outside in the dark sitting under the speaker for the next 13 listens. I could see through the window that people were getting pissed, but nobody could see me.

Production sounded great. I could never listen to the demo again. The finished version is so much better and I really liked Slash's solo.

Bluefish - I miss the velvet rope very much and remember those days fondly. I learned a lot there, but you're right that some people may not have loved being corrected when it came to GNR info.

James - The velvet rope stuff was fairly tame in the grand scheme of things. I just rubbed people the wrong way like I tend to do on most forums.

Just like the label delayed Chinese numerous times in hopes they could force a reunion first, the follow up to Chinese also suffered a similar fate. There were definitely times the band wanted to get it out and the label stalled in an effort to wait for a reunion. Which ultimately is what happened.
