When I had a look at the iTunes song chart today I was greeted by names such as Bruno Mars, (Puff Daddy's latest synonym) “Diddy” and Britney Spears.I concluded that the dire state of mainsteam music is cringeworthy. Then I pondered to myself, how could we, as fans of Guns N' Roses, deliver a huge “Fuck you” to what is percieved be “normal” music?At this point it dawned on me. GN'R guitarist and champion of the non-mainstream Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal recently released a cover of the Four Tops Motown classic “Bernadette”. “What a perfect mechanism to signal our frustrations at what is deemed okay to listen to!” I thought. I firmly believe that if we all buy Ron's single and position him in the charts (as high as possible obviously) then we will accurately represent the minority who opt to favour composition which isn't fortunate enough to be plastered on every nook and cranny of society.Not only that but we'll be helping a genuinely nice guy (who is also arguably one of the best technical guitarists in the world) become liberated from the supressions of modern day “music”.Who's with me?* http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bernadette-single/id415822662 *
Ever wondered how you could thank (implicitly) Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal for personally greeting you before or after a Guns N' Roses gig? Ever thought “just how could I help this guy whose went out of his way to ensure my satisfaction”?Ever felt like you need to make a statement about the condition of popular music?Ever wanted to become involved in a legitimate campaign to put real musicians before Disney sponsored wannabes?If you are edging (even remotely) towards a “yes” on any of the above then I would implore thee to get involved in our initiative and help make something special happen.#BuyBernadette* http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bernadette-single/id415822662 *
I don't have itunes or an ipod but i'd like to help this cause..
this "campaign" is the dumbest thing i've ever heard of. Millions of people listen to Britney and Diddy. How many listen to bumblefoot? 5? (sarcasm). you'll never get bumblefoot on the charts.now if you want to just buy the song to enjoy for yourself, then thats fine.
i'm off to have a wank then slit my wrists.
this "campaign" is the dumbest thing i've ever heard of.
how is that even the same dumb fuck? its a competition between people at the same level. Its not like I was asking for votes to help him surpass Triple H, like you guys trying to get Bumblefoot to surpass Diddy etc.
You implied that I was deploying retarded logic. Despite the fact that it was you who pleaded with a Guns N' Roses (tagged music, hard rock, aspiring musicians etc.) forum to vote for something W.W.E (tagged muscley guys who wear y-fronts and “wrestle”) related. Simple concept really.Can you outline where I stated the objective was to put Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal before Diddy in the iTunes charts? You fabricated that intention yourself.This campaign is to get people buying Ron Thal's releases (with a look to securing a place on the iTunes chart). This initiative then will be repreated for the release of “Invisible” and his summertime EP until we get to a point whereby Ron is either positioned on the charts (album and/or single) or is fairly close.Comprende?
We've decided to intensify and widen the campaign.Not only is it out intention to rapidly increase the sales of Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal's latest endeavour “Bernadette” but we also feel it is appropriate (in terms of thanking GN'R for the amazing 2009/2010) to get “Sweet Child O' Mine” (which is presently at #7) at #1 in the iTunes rock chart.“This Is the Life” by Amy McDonald is at present champion of the iTunes ROCK song list. Consider that point for a second. Not Guns N' Roses, not Van Halen, not AC/DC, not Aerosmith, not Metallica, not Nirvana, not Black Sabbath, not Iron Maiden etc. etc. etc. Have you even listened to “This Is the Life”? Is such a song really representative of the UK rock listening population?Where are all you rockers? Did you all leave the planet when the 80s drew to a halt?This it it. We have the perfect opportunity to reaffirm our support for Axl Rose/Guns N' Roses by putting one of the most iconic hard rock songs of all time at #1 and sustaining that position for as long as possible. Who hasn't (let's be honest) been totally enthralled by “Sweet Child” upon hearing it? Who hasn't floundered about their bedroom with a hairbrush (at least once) when Axl starts the “Where do we go now?” bit.So here we go people, #SweetChild1 and #BuyBernadette. In the words of that funny looking Waterboy guy, “YOU CAN DO IT!”#SweetChild1 (select “Sweet Child” from the list): http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sweet-child-o-mine/id5669937?i=5669911#BuyBernadette: http://bit.ly/eK311Q
how is that even the same dumb fuck? its a competition between people at the same level. Its not like I was asking for votes to help him surpass Triple H, like you guys trying to get Bumblefoot to surpass Diddy etc. and fyi...he's still in the running and has had multiple follow ups with the casting directors.
I hope that you [hitmanhart408] don't think that 3xH or anyone in the fake wrestling business is at a different level of competitiveness (since you mentioned something about surpassing 3xH) . I don't think I have to get into that, right?
