I wonder if Fernandos name is on in the credits like it was on the back of AFD

Am I the only one who misses the horn section from the concert intros? It was such a sinister, cinematic sound. I like the orchestra we can hear in the leaked mix, and I imagine the official release will have them higher in the mix.

Was the horn section like 2-3 minutes into the concert intro? It was sick! Maybe it's in another song now?

I just noticed that the Japan CD will come with lyric book/sleeve. I wonder if it'll come with the vinyl too?

If Monsters isn't on the vinyl how can people say it's the final version? Did someone get their hands on the Japanese CD and it's on that?

I was assuming other regions (outside of Japan) would get CDs with only Perhaps and The General. Who knows what will really happen.

I think that ship sailed 2 months ago. Who knows with this band tho....

If the Japanese CD does get Monsters as a bonus, it will be atomically better than the CDs without it.  

Which other CDs are there lol

It would have been one thing if they only re-did the guitars, they reworked the entire song into trash, and mixed it as such. Lifeless drums, loud guitars. Just replacing Finck and Tommy and keeping the mix similar to the 2000 mix would have been acceptable. 

For all we know the released version sounds like a 2006 demo (similar to Absurd)

A likely scenario is that Monsters and The General leaked from a trade got wrong. I doubt they originated from a vinyl pressing.

Just few days ago people says that Axl should fire to Fernando. ...

Kat seems to have receipts, and lots of them. Interesting to see how that one will play out.

Duff and Slash should kick him out.

We're you the only one in the world who didn't get told it was put back ?

I ordered from the UGM Canada site. They have yet to issue any email communication about the delay of my order. What's your problem?

Why would there be ? It said 8th December yeah & it's mid November..they aren't going to update every fans order by the day 

It was supposed to be shipped in October...

No updates whatsoever from UMG Canada still...

Not true..i'd say Perhaps WAS promoted.

 

They released a video and featured the song on an ongoing tour.

Outside of those following GNR social media, there was virtually no promotion

Mission Impossible 7 part 1. Was great! Strong female characters but never felt woke.

Geoff May also had issues with TB

GN'R is a well oiled touring machine. Money talks louder than anything else.

Duff has integrity though (and money), surely if the allegations are true he would put his foot down.

Do you really have to be a feminist to think Fernando should go for his behaviour (if it's true, of course)? I would think being a decent human being would be enough.

No, you don't. But many people has spoken about being a feminist and wouldn't stand for this because he has a wife a daughters (paraphrasing of course)

I think this is the most likely outcome. They're on a touring hiatus so he's not visible anyway and in most cases there needs to be a large, vocal campaign to get someone fired/resigning. If it was criminal charges it might be different but this is a civil suit. Also barely anyone outside GNR fandom knows who he is.

It might make the press here and there as it has done this week but at the moment I'm not seeing the requisite pressure coming from anywhere that might result in him being replaced. I might be wrong - there is time for it to ramp up a bit and be untenable but at the moment it's wait and see.

But wouldn't Duff insist that he's removed if he's really such a feminist?

Is there original agreement between Kat & GNR public now? I can't find it. 

Also, people pleaseeee, when doing business in the USA, create an LLC. It will, somewhat, protect you from shit like this, There are exclusions of course. 

Does it apply to Russians?

Was Rhiad really played 6 times?

I wonder what the status of lithographs will be for future touring, assuming Nando gets the corn.

Considering Duff is a pretty big believer in the Me Too Movement, would be nice to see a statement from him condemning Fernando for his actions. Put your money where your mouth is, Duff.

I'd wager that he keeps his mouth shut, publicly at least

The only thing I'm confused about is that, according to the lawsuit, the last "incident" between Kat and Fernando happened in 2018, and from there they had little contact with each other. Kat went on to work for the band for 4 more years afterward. 

So it still doesn't explain why she left the band so abruptly last year.

She wasnt asked back (budget apparently, big recessions coming), now she's pulling out receipts. Good for her but I wish she done so earlier. It doesn't help women when other women only come out when the tap gets turned off.
