Target MTV

We can’t sit idle while Guns N’ Roses tours their asses off. It has been brewing for too long on our fan sites. We can’t keep this to ourselves. We have been selfish by not letting the world know how great the new line up is.

I’am not proposing that we go door to door promoting the band. However it is the public opinion that we must change. It is the music scene we must change. We can’t change anything by sitting on our butts. Well, maybe we can.

First of all we must act in unison. Because united we stand, divided we fall. We need an army, much like the Kiss Army. We need to attack crappy music at its roots. We must infest MTV.

MTV would be the most visible way to get our message out. First we need to find away to get inside. The easiest way is through the Internet. Going through the MTV website I noticed that they have message boards. That is the perfect weapon.

We can go on to those forums and change public opinion. Will there be backlash? Yes, at first. However with a myriad of GNR fans those pop culture riders will have to our side as it will appear that their stuff is not hip. Eventually this movement will be brought up on television due to the trickle down affect. MTV would have to market themselves to people in the rock scene again.

The second part is to set up a calling ring to local radio stations that play todays hits and request GNR music everyday. This will cause GNR to get into heavy rotation with the current music. This will make GNR more relevant to the casual listeners.

The next thing is word of mouth. That is the best advertisement anyone can receive. Go tell your friends about how awesome the New GNR experience is. What you are doing is recruiting fans.

For my first proposal, I would like everyone to go to http://www.mtv.com/community/message_boards/boardsdir.jhtml and register. For the next month we will spend the same effort as we put into GNR communities to the MTV message boards. We will need everyones support to make this successful.

Randy H I "love where your Heads at"!! Great idea, remember though, Kurt Loder and john Norris the old Vets at Mtv Love Axl they want this as much as we do!!!  That is why they asked him to come to the VMA!! they want the younger generation and the world to see axl out and about and back for more!!!!   THe message board thing can work, ( we have the army)  :cool:    

As for the local radio thing! iv been doing that for years now ( it seems) i call the same radio station every day to ask if they have "better" Gnr new single , knowing that they probley dont or wont play it if they did, but just to create the "BUZZ"  then i usally ask for brownstone, or Night Train.  The dj usally just laughes!!  but thats what its about THE FUCKING BUZZ

INVADE CRAPPY MUSIC AT THE ROOTS !!!  I Love It !!!   :nod:
