New Guns N’Roses Single This September
You have been waiting over a decade. We’ve been waiting to.
In 2 months - the wait could be over.
Guns ‘N Roses are reportedly engaged with the creators of the Rock Band 2 game in order to have one of their songs, ‘Shackler’s Revenge’, changed into an arrangement of button taps - i.e To be included in the game.
The game is due for release in September.
It is a great way to push new music and is fast becoming a trend in the music industry. If you can get people hooked on your music within a video game they are more likely to buy your CDs and come to your gigs. You also have a brain-wash opportunity, where people who may not normally like your music are converted due to the fact that it is played repeatedly to them in a game - as it makes it all the more appealing.
I wonder how long it will be before bands decide that they want their music played at certain key parts in a game - in order to induce a feeling for their vibe. This could be at a romantic moment in Final Fantasy 20 or a dramatic, climatic rampage in Kill Zone 8. These games are far from being released - but I know the music industry doesn’t exactly move very fast, so this should give them enough time to think about the idea.
No one from MTV or the Universal Music Group would confirm the deal between Guns ‘N Roses and Rock Band 2 - Surprise, Surprise.
No details will be confirmed until an official press release.
Wow.He’s still singing?I grew up idolizing gnr and metallica and this news makes me feel nostalgic. Hopefully he wont blow this thing up

GnR have played many gigs (and cancelled many more) since the original breakup.
Their new album should drop this year (expect late Q4).
