The reports on news sites are still relying on the press release, even though that bit has been removed from the GN'R website since yesterday. One quoted the press release and then added "but a track with the same title leaked in 2019, so who knows..."

 

There was a media outlet yesterday reporting that the “Perhaps” 7 inch vinyl was sold out on the merch website. I immediately checked, and no, it was not sold out. So I ordered one, not taking any chances on the possibility that it may sell out, but then again, how can something be sold out when it’s a preorder?

I could have tried wedging this question into the “Perhaps” thread, but as it pertains to the “Magic 8 Ball” being sold on the official store website:

I figure one of the answers you get when you shake the ball is “Perhaps”. Do you suppose the other answers are related to GN’R related songs or events?
 

For example, maybe one of the answers is “You’re Crazy”, or another answer is “Not In This Lifetime”. Alternatives to the basic “yes” and “no” that you would get on a basic magic 8 ball.

The description on the website doesn’t detail anything, but I assume “Perhaps” is one of the answers found on it. I’m not planning to buy it, but I may suggest it as a Christmas gift if someone in my family doesn’t have any gift ideas for me.

Fine video, good to see some of the band members that don’t make it onto the t-shirts and Funko pops get some recognition.

“Perhaps” is the best of the three songs released within the last two years. It definitely echoes “Catcher In The Rye”, but it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Axl’s vocals are superb. 

That’s my two cents. Looking forward to hearing it live in Boston on Monday.
 

8/10

I wonder if we get The General in September? That gives them a chance to play it on tour AND promote the 7". 

Yeah, I'm sure the digital copy of The General will be available toward the end of September/early October.

Kind of makes me wonder if there will be an EP of Absurd, Hard Skool, Perhaps, and The General, plus another new song or two.

I haven’t heard it yet. To my knowledge, WZLX 100.7 in Boston played it at 9AM, but it didn’t show up on their list of songs played today.

 I’m going to buy the download for my iPod tomorrow morning anyway

WZLX is also giving away five pairs of tickets each day through Monday to the Fenway show…..which means sales were sluggish.

They’re a pretty good station, though.

Potential thunderstorms tommorow night, couldn't they just postpone this thing until Wedensday, it sux if they play it will probably be a shortened set list or something 

Long range forecast for Fenway Park next Monday looks great. Sunny and 85 degrees during the day

I’ve been an Axl backer all along, but if that post is accurate, and the simple 3:50 song isn’t out Friday, I gotta give up. Like cmon man, it’s one song. It’s done. Let’s go already. And it’s not even about the song, it’s about being stupid and irrational. 

It's being held until an announcement of a new EP, to coincide with the 35th anniversary of 'GN'R Lies'.

The new EP will be called 'GN'R Lies Some More'.

Axl’s gotta make some sort of joke about this on stage tomorrow night, right?

"The claims of us releasing a new song are 'ABSURD'!"---Axl

*Band plays "Absurd"*

The solo is confusing me so much. It's like Robins solo accidently starts and is faded out for Slash?

No way Slash would allow that. If that’s the case, expect the official release to be pushed back another six months.

I would be amazed if GNR has made more than $50 off of this.

That’s about how much they paid Steven Adler for his appearances in 2016

Slashs solo is awful,how can anyone think it improved the leaked versión?!?!

Axl must be very dissapointed

"Perhaps" you didn't see my post a couple of pages back about how people bitch and moan when they hear the official version of a song that in their mind, doesn't measure up to the leaked demo that they NEVER SHOULD HAVE HEARD IN THE FIRST PLACE?

People can never be pleased with music.

 

I BEG YOU GNR RELEASE MUSIC!!

Releases best music from the locker.

"No thats not what i meant!"

It’s definitely unfortunate that leaked material ends up on the internet, people hear it, want an official version, and whine when they don’t like the official version.

It was a lot more exciting hearing “You Could Be Mine” in 1991 from a radio station that teased its release for a few days, then finally played it for the first time. There were no demo versions heard beforehand, or knowledge of how long it took to finalize the version that ended up as the official song. You accepted the song as-is. 
 

Now, it’s “Slash butchered the guitar parts” because he’s not a shredder like Buckethead.

Anyone know why Axl just yelled out twenty two? 

Statistics show that on average, twenty two veterans of the military commit suicide each day. I have no doubt this is what Axl was referencing, especially during “Coma”.

So what will we get after Sweet Child O' Mine and November Rain?

Does Axl play piano on Perhaps?

Some songs kill the momentum, TV Eye is one of them.

Wichita Lineman is another

Bad Apples

Get In The Ring

Just about everything from Chinese Democracy except There Was A Time

Axl had time to shower, shave, and take a dump, that jam was so long

Way to disengage the audience with this Rocket Queen jam

Axl does sound pretty damn fantastic tonight.

If he sounds like this at Boston on 8/21, I'll be happy

Absurd really rocked

Axl seems to be in a good mood
