It was in the Manchester Metro too.

A few pages ahead and the single was "reviewed" and given only two stars out of five. The reviewer didn't even talk about the song - just the video, which he found offensive. Prick.

god i read that too! the problem is the ad is noticeable, then people will check out the review a few pages after and basically the ad has only highlighted the fact that the single is crap (according to the reviewer)

thing is he didnt even mention the bloody song itself. and he called it a comeback single, ignoring the fact its the 3rd single from the album, or even second if you want to be strict about the UK releases etc.

what a git! it really wound me up which annoyed me in itself! confused and he gave eminem 4stars, calling it "predictably eminem and brilliant" - like it being predictable is good. i like the song but its only a rehash of all his other "1st single from the album" songs, and the follow up is another angry one. he's really got his pattern for selling albums down now!

i understand its the first released to retail, but musicology was still all over the radio on certain stations so i guess i count that as the first single. i mean, the albums been out 6 months and he releases a "comeback" single, it sounds stupid! smile

Now way guy... was it in the metro!? ... I just throw that straight into the blue bin! ..they're not being collected for sometime now so I might just go and dive in and 'ave a look Sounds like a typical Evining news reviewe giving it a slaggin off... if he plays here next year... what venue do you think would be best ... Old Trafford Cricket Ground or the MEN? ... i reckon the OT Cricket ground. I went to 'Move' there and it was a good venue. The people who organise 'Move' .. SJM Concerts... Have been trying to get Prince to come over for a long time to do V etc ..so who knows.
