No state of grace?

And no Zodiac?

Looks like the General

Cool pic

Looks a bit like promo pocs, wonder if Axl is on some or a complete band pic?

I take it as good news as Duff actually spoke without being questioned by the journalist. We will get some official news soon (he didnt promise this week)

Im still 90% sure Perhaps will be debuted live this year and something will be released

Perhaps soundchecked at least 4 times, how many for Hardschool before release?

I think we will get the news before it just pops up in Spotify, ref what Duff said. 3 days to go!

4-6 including hardskool and absurd

I think he meant in addition to hardschool/Absurd as they were already released

I dont think we should overanalyze the answer from 4tus, its also a big possibility that he refers to completely new material and he does not count a 20 year old song as Perhaps as new material

I think that 4tus, Slash and possibly every single other person wants to create new GNR material, but AXL will not (why?)

We have heard it before with Ashba, Bumblefoot etc..

There is a part in the intro music used currently that sounds like the General orchestral parts heard previous. Could it have been that. 

I refuse to believe we'll ever get The General released or played live. That setlist picture was a fake surely. 

Not fake, the crew member got fired from that picture

The General will hopfully be the b-side to Perhaps and released at the same time. 

I guess Perhaps is more radio friendly and much easier to sing live (esp with those pre-recorded background vocals from soundcheck)

Slash said that the plan was to release two tracks at a time and do this a couple of times

What is the next step - some kind of release must be coming soon 

-- Perhaps soundchecked, General on setlist

-- Band photos by Ross Halfin (both concert photos and at least "band photos" of Slash/Duff, may be a lot of photos not yet shown. lets hope a full band picture for some kind of release)

-- Studio time in Norway (both recording of Slash guitar tracks and listening to new mixes mentioned)

-- Axl looks motivated (for something!?)

What do we think of credits for perhaps

Piano- Axl (or Dizzy?)

Guitars - Fortus and Slash. Slash solo

Bass - Duff

Keys - dizzy/Melissa

Drums- Frank?

Is it the pretenders stream or arctic monkeys that is the correct one??

The red Chinese dolls appear. That's a clue

It must be! Saw them too, from the alternate CD cover art!!!

Saw a clip of Better - did NOT sound good :/

Saw a clip of Live and let die somewhere in there..

I believe Quick song has vocals, had guide vocals already in 99, clearly meant to have vocals. 

And we know lyrics for a lot of the songs came later (Better, Shacklers, Sorry etc)

Would they unleash new song at a festival? 

Why not?

There might be a sitar in Oklahoma though? Or?

The fourth single, very melodic with nice harmonies, a queen like bridge and great solo. 

The whole album is great, has some interesting industrial-inspired heavy tracks (Save me, Thicker than blood, X Out) - Give me some Chinese Democracy vibes too

It might be the intro to the show only? (The strings)But wouldnt make sense to have it as an setlist option

And we know that Fortus has recorded some sitar-like sounds, that might be the intro to Oklahoma. Or is Atlas also some sitar, i believe its just synth and acoustic plus electric guitar

This might be the finished tracks if setlist is real and the souncheck last year was Oklahoma: General, Atlas, Perhaps, State of Grace and Oklahoma

Was the soundcheck more guitar heavy and less piano? I hope they keep the piano and strings/keys and we dont get a watered down dumb rock version. 

But I remember thst Slash said that the songs they will release next (after absurd and Hardskool) were more epic

Hardschool contains organ/keyboards throughout, I have believed it was Melissa all the time. 

Lets get it to the top!
