Yeah I wonder if calling it a B-side was also to completely low-ball its importance in terms of leaks. Agree on the point that new GNR music doesn’t matter to most people, and even to people it does matter to it’s an absolute fraction of that for people on this board, so maybe it’s a tactic to downplay significance to avoid it leaking.

100% agree. If a demo was leaked with no official release in sight I’d immediately listen, but we’re so close! @Sweersa also just to clarify, I don’t have any sort of info, I’m just thinking back in time - Mike Piazza leaks, Skwerl, MSL Chicken Dinner, Village sessions etc, they’ve always leaked relatively (in context) close to an official release

Still can’t get over the fact that the NA shows are mainly seated!

Haha thank you for the definition - fully aware of what an EP is! Don't think marketing execs would be too happy with advertising it as "New GN'R 2-song EP" when trying to sell something, so rather than getting too bogged down with the definition of an EP, think of what would sell more. I would love a surprise GN'R album as much as the next person on this board but can't see it coming any time soon.

Absolutely. Would love to understand the rationale of the final products for HS/Absurd. By the leak from the March 2020 Mexico show soundcheck, we know the arrangement for HS had been completed and likely recorded prior, meaning they had 18 months before it eventually was released to do a decent job on it but it turned out pretty abhorrent, mix wise at least. Perhaps sounded 10x better.

When people are talking about the mixing they are looking at it holistically. The mix on CD is generally great; no doubt there are small and specific issues, like the reduction in bass level which is very noticeable when comparing to village leaks. However, the whole mix for HS is poor as illustrated with the audacity compression stems.

Quite interesting watching developments in this topic... Personally I'm staying away from speculation until it's actually released and knowing that there is a definitive date with a physical media, which means in theory that it's either already been pressed or in the process of pressing, the chances of a "plans changed" moment are quite slim. Having said that, I think the speculation here of it being an instrumental are quite strange considering we have a number of sources verifying that Axl had indeed recorded vocals. Now, we have seen from the official releases of other CD-era songs that the chances of a new vocal track are slim, but if the vocals are already laid down why would they be removed? Bizarre. As long as there actually is a digital release (I'd be quite amazed if there wasn't) I will do my absolute best to avoid any sort of leak ahead of the day. Can't believe this will be the first time I'm hearing a completely fresh GN'R song in 15 years! Bring it on!

At the risk of sounding rude here, a magic 8-ball is hardly a new concept. -
Yep that is indeed RaR2006! To be fair, I have seen Guns 2 Roses a couple of times and it’s definitely a fun night. I’ve always been convinced they at least a couple of them must lurk here…

Bloody hell haven’t seen that name in a long time! -
Could be misremembering this but I believe the story at the time was something to do with a (delayed) remix which I think was for ITW.
