21 Guns EP

[IscoredWaddlesgoals]

It only made number 40 on the UK charts

This is bad....

Chris Moyles actually mentioned it this morning, he was reading out the lower positions of the charts and said he was surprised to see Green Day so low. It might not have mattered pre AI, but they're supposed to be one of the biggest bands in the world aren't they ?

[Nova-Caine]

^^Exactly. All this shit is monitored maybe not by the band but defo by the record company, that said though the marketing and promotion for both singles and album in the UK has been nothing short of fucking terrible.

Sorry it's a rant of mine right now

I noticed that, it's bad, but you can't really expect much else. If I hadn't been online looking at HMV.com I wouldn't have known the single was coming out, so the general public won't have a clue! It's not even about the song or the music, and i'm not being biased with that. There was no promotion, at all.

I don't think this will matter to a band like Green Day but I hope it makes the label look a bit closer at how they're promoting this thing.

I don't think this matters anymore, if anything they'll get inspired once more

I'm frankly glad that they're off the mainstream, I'm sure they don't care, they're out there playing for their fans

That's what a band is about, pleasing their fans, not the charts

[Nova-Caine]

^^^ I can see where you're coming from Juan but it's a good job the tour sold out other wise it might be a bit more serious and trust me the record company does care even if the band don't.

[Travis]

Does anyone have the 880 Studio version?

[Juan]

Record Companies are *this* close from a fork to be stuck in them

I don't think this will matter to a band like Green Day but I hope it makes the label look a bit closer at how they're promoting this thing.

Me too. Luckily I'm sure the band wouldn't really care but I think the record company are doing them a real disservice, they've blown it. I missed all the AI stuff when it happened so I was looking forward to getting to see Green Day in the limelight but it just hasn't happened, they are nowhere to be seen.

This is a rant of mine too , they seriously do not deserve to be number 40 but that's what happens when you have zero promotion.

The EP is STILL not available on Itunes!!!

Yea this is really annoying. I want Favorite Son on my iPod.

[MascaraTears]

for all of the people from the US who don't have it on itunes... REALLY GOOD NEWS!! I decided to look on rhapsody and they have it for purchase!!! it's playing on my ipod right now :D idk why itunes is being stupid and won't let us have it... but at least we can buy it now. i LOVE this song!

Little question; I found a copy of the 21 Guns single in a record shop, with only 21 Guns and Favorite Son on it. Is there a physical copy with also 21 Guns the 880 version or She (live in Tokyo) (the versions that've been mentioned) out there, or only this one, and is the one with the 880 version only for purchase on iTunes or something?

You can download it in this thread

Thought you did have it?

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Thanks, but I meant to ask is there a physical copy of the single (cd in a box) with other tracks on it but 21 Guns and Favorite son (or is 880/She (live) only a download). I phrased it just a little odd.

(and yeah, I already had it :])

[HoneyDo666]

No need to worry guys!

21 Guns is everywhere now thanks to the VMA nominations!

It's climbing the charts and apparently the video has taken over MTV and VH1!

It's doing really well on the Hot 100 and the Rock Charts and on iTunes (#13)

21CB is up to #6 on the European Album Chart.

I think Green Day will do more promotional stuff when they're touring Europe, like during the AI era. TRL and such maybe?

I've got 21 Guns single today with Favorite Son
