Be great to be able to discuss a new album wouldn't it, rather than Axl's sartorial choices.....

Ah well. I'll move it on to the next stage- that unfiltered Stella he's drinking is pretty good. Tried it for the first time last week and was impressed. 

As much as I fanboy out when this band does something interesting every 20 years, I never get how others can prattle on about how Axl looks for pages on end. That’s next level.

I dunno gang. I got a bad feeling nothing new drops during the US run. 😕

Ugh. As bored as I think Perhaps is, I *loathe* Atlas Shrugged. It sounds like a poppy alt-rock song from the 90s, something like Third Eye Blind. My least favorite kind of music.

It’s like a bad Oasis song.

I think both Perhaps and Atlas are relatively forgettable, though I probably lean more towards Atlas bc I adore the wild drums on it. I’m hoping they release The General first, if not, at the same time as Perhaps. Imagine GNR dropping something we *haven’t* heard yet. What a wild thought! 😏

Are they (Axl) even aware of us though?

This is what it boils down to. There is no reason to release music. From the band's point of view they sell tickets and endlessly tour the world. No one is asking for music to be released apart from the remaining hardcore fans here. 

This is it, honestly. It sucks, but they can literally afford to be apathetic and arse around the remaining GNR die hards about new music. It’s that simple, however ugly it may be.

If new music was a priority on any level…it would be a priority…and time and time again we’ve seen that it’s just not.

Not that common sense or smart marketing have ever existed in this dojo, BUT if the idea was/is for new single(s) to boost ticket sales for the US run, it’d make sense for that to happen *before* that run begins, as in this week or next. 
 

Having said that, they just won’t, cuz GNR. But it’d make sense.

I really hope they pull a switcharoo and release The General at the top of the next tour. I’ve never been blown away by Perhaps, and like Atlas, feel like it’s very much a filler track. 

It’s absolutely incredible how this fucking band conjures new ways to be this fucking disappointing. 

New album tonight at midnight, I can feel it in my asshole. Err, wait…😳

There's clearly nothing coming. Sadly. 

Could be, especially if the label made the disastrous mistake of requesting that Axl promotes it.

Talking out of my ass, but if the idea is for the next release to draw attention to the US dates, wouldn’t it make sense to drop it *before* the shows begin? The way Absurd and Hard Skool were released in 2021 couldn’t have moved the dial that much for ticket sales, especially with no video(s) or real promotion. 
 

Im just trying to to make sense of this clusterfuck.

He's probably just smiling because he's tired of that question.

Yep. I’d imagine he’s just as exasperated as we are at this point, if not more so.

So is the consensus now that “plans have changed” in regard to The General & Perhaps? 🥺

What’s also clear is that no one within this cult-like operation has any radar for just how inept they allow themselves to look, and regularly.

I’m starting to wonder if the odd withholding of the other tracks they have “in the can” is just as much an effort to string along Slash & Duff as it is with the fans.

I think

They're Trying

any day now

you may hear 

soon

 

Seems like standard GnR speak to me. 

“You may just walk into your iTunes App and find it one day.”

After all the Team Brazil fuckery, deleting posts and dragging their heals officially releasing it, it would be pretty hilarious if The General finally just leaked this week. 😆

So is the solo in The Village demo of Riad Brian May?

I think The General is going to be the lead single and Perhaps will be the B side. I think/hope Axl wants to hit us with something totally new. 

I really hope you’re right!

“Trying to get a single out”

How come this band is the only one in the world that doesn’t know how to release new music? Every other artist in the world does it. Does every mechanism in the industry to release new music have it out for Axl? 

Are you imply the wizards of the music industry that are Team Brazil are struggling to get singles released? 😏

Wah wah 

Bleh 🙄
