Maybe due to people searching for "guns n roses general"?

Probably lol. 

Not that it means anything, but to add to the Spotify CSI case, searching for The General brings up GNR as a top overall result today for the first time. Previously they only showed up on the artist tab.

I am not enjoying the shows, I don't go to them and couldn't really care less about them (actually, they just give me more work ). I am, though, genuinely happy for all the fans that do go and have a good time, and I think it is pretty surreal to see Axl, Duff and Slash up there playing Appetite now more than 30 years since they started. It's cool. I never would have thought. Good on them.

What I will do if Perhaps doesn't come out this Friday? The same as I do now, live my life. Sooner or later it will come out. I don't hold my breath for GN'R. I don't get twisted into knots waiting, and I deal with such extremely small disappointments heroically because my happiness isn't contingent upon the actions of a rock band.

What is it they have handled poorly? A delay on their internal release date (which was never meant to go public) and not being able to prevent TouchTune having the song available for a weekend? You know, I don't consider that a huge deal. We shouldn't have known about the band's plans to release it last week. We were just lucky to stumble upon that information (or, actually, people here doesn't seem to be able to handle that nugget of information very well so I guess we were unlucky). If we hadn't found out, life would have gone on here like it always have and then people would go all crazy of joy when Perhaps suddenly dropped. Fans only have themselves to blame if knowing the band delayed the release of a new single by a week, "turns them" into something. They ought to be excited about the impending new release, yet they fall apart and blame the band/management. As a group, we have become more dysfunctional than the band.

Brooooooo. Fans only have themselves to blame? Last I checked there would be no GNR without fans. The less GNR puts out, be it communication, music, or general lack of giving a shit, the less fans they have. 

You live your life. That's awesome, me too. But GNR was a big part of my life. Music can save peoples lives. This whole, we just live our lives thing is demeaning, like the band and their music isnt part of our lives.

And you're 100% right, we shouldnt have known about that. If the band half assed communicated with its fanbase, then there wouldn't be a bunch of CSI detectives trying to crack the code of listening to new music. 

I'm not taking part in this any longer, this is exactly what is so wrong with this band, causing this type of discussion instead of discussing the actual song. And yea, I know, it leaked, but forgive us that dont want to discuss the ins and outs of a bowling alley recording and would prefer our favorite band gave us a legit means to listen to it. Have a good one.

It's a weird time to have a problem with the band at the time when they are doing great shows and are just about to release a new song. I mean, if this is not good enough for you then praise yourself lucky for not following the band during all those dark, dark years. 

They became my favorite band when I was 11....in 1998. And those "dark" years were less depressing than this. There was magic still left. This isnt that. This is just depressing.
 

And who says they are coming out with a new song? Certainly not them. They've done everything they can to make sure they dont even mention the damn thing.

This thread and band is so sad. From optimism and hope to fans turning on each other. It’s made me have no desire to go to the show on Friday.

I’ve loved this band forever but man they are pushing me to the breaking point as far as being able to support and enjoy them.

That might be correct..but the titles must be coming from somewhere?

Right otherwise if something else like “sage” was searched, gnr would also be pushed

Today I was watching the Woodstock Netflix documentary on my living room TV. Episode 1, spends 15 mins talking about James Brown's performance

My girlfriend then went on the computer 10 mins later, visits Youtube, and on her recommended is Woodstock 99 James Brown performance. She has never searched anything related to Woodstock 99 or James Brown.

My theory on these instances is that your partner's phones hear the words you're saying (we know this happens) and are feeding this data into Spotify's search algorithm. A lot of website's search engines are powered by either Microsoft or Google, so this wouldn't be out of the ordinary. I however can't prove that Spotify does in fact rely on Google/Microsoft data.

Why isn’t red panda or any of the other nonsense people have been searching to test this theory showing up then?

Boomers,

100 of GNR's literal top 1000 listeners in the WORLD search random words which are almost NEVER searched otherwise

The algorithm finds a commonality between the 100 users searching this very strange search term

It makes suggestions based on that

Except of those 100 a lot of people didn’t have Spotify or didn’t use Spotify to listen to music (myself included)

If it was an algorithm thing wouldn’t perhaps be showing up in the US by now? Since it showed up in the UK the other day I gotta figure people have been searching that one more often in various places.

I seem to remember us doing that? 

Lol right?

One last thing to add to the algorithm thing. When Hard Skool was discovered on Spotify before it was released, did we all not search for other titles then? I find it hard to believe this wouldn’t have happened then too.

Just when I think I’m out…..

Same as yesterday for me. Didn’t show up early in the morning does now. I had my friend (non gnr searching person) check and he gets the same.

If it was an algorithm would the results really change at the same time both days?

Oh shit look what just popped up for the US!!

I get the same. Something changed over the last 2hrs because I tried this exact search when I got to work and got nothing. In the US

Atlas and State of Grace both show up for me on Spotify. The only reason I use Spotify is for the JRE podcast, I use Apple Music for all music. 
 

If it’s an algorithm thing, I’m floored that Perhaps hasn’t shown up. That would have been one of the first ones I’d have thought. 
 

Im in the US btw.

It looks fake to me, it does say they will accept returns. I feel bad for the person that gave you this in good faith.

Thanks for the help everyone! Return process has already been started. 

I’m not selling it. I was hoping someone could give me a clue as to if it was fake or not. 

Sorry it’s a sold eBay listing. It should say 
Sorry you missed out on this item. And below that you can click see original listing. I’m not sure how to insert a photo or I’d do that.

Received for Christmas. What do you think?

Saw a post on Reddit that said one minute or Atlas is out there. Did I miss that?

Anyone know who the opener is for the show? Or what time Guns is scheduled to go on?

Wow! What a freaking performance! Anyone complaining about Axls voice just watch the Civil War video. He might not have "rasp" everywhere but you can tell he is pouring everything into that song. I'll take that any day! 

Got 4 tickets today! Section 111. I'd love to meet up with anyone going to celebrate!
