Guns N' Roses will end when Axl dies. He would do Las Vegas residences bound to a wheelchair at the age of 85 before he retires the band. The fact is there is no incentive for any of the band to retire or go an a permanent hiatus. The money is too good, and so are the band dynamics if what we hear are true. They will simply go on a year or two break while Slash and Duff do their own stuff. This would also give them the time to write some new stuff if they are so inclined.

This is the most logical scenario. If The General were exclusive to the record, they would have promoted it as such (like they did the record-exclusive tracks on the HS EP). Also, if we want to take Fernando at his word (lol), he did tell people on Reddit before the HS EP's release that the live tracks wouldn't be released digitally, but he wasn't so forthcoming when asked the same about The General (only writing 'perhaps'). While the site which is reporting that The General won't be released digitally is the same that correctly reported on Perhaps' delay, we should probably take timing into account. It is entirely possible that their source was aware of Perhaps as an imminent delayed release, but is not aware of releases further scheduled (e.g. a potential digital release of The General after the Perhaps vinyl release).

Nothing (Unreleased track)
Live Like a Suicide replied to weaponsnflowers's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Apart from them sounding similar, are we even sure the vocal parts of Eye on You are confirmed to be the very same used on HS, or is that something we've just come to accept? -
Atlas Shrugged (November Release?)
Live Like a Suicide replied to ajyoli's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
The 4chan/reddit 'leaks' containing the fake Atlas artwork also predicted Atlas for November. That prediction spread across the boards, Reddit and social media. Has it Leaked obviously reported a rumour of Atlas releasing in the same month after the 4chan/reddit stuff was already out and had spread. It is not impossible that they saw the earlier 4chan/reddit info or were tipped off by someone else who saw it. -
Right, but Black Summer, which the Chilis released last year, has upwards of 48 million views. Lux Æterna by Metallica has upwards of 19 million views in 8 months. GN'R will never likely meet those numbers, and Perhaps has fallen in its engagement quite sharply already. Edit: Spotify has even sharper contrasts, with Black Summer at over 100 million plays and Lux Æterna at over 50 million. Hardskool by comparison has over 16 million. Granted, BS and LA were both released as part of promotional campaigns for albums, but they go to show how poor GNR is doing and just how much more they could do with proper marketing and work.

Atlas Shrugged (November Release?)
Live Like a Suicide replied to ajyoli's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
The funniest thing about those guys who faked The General art/Apple Music links thought everyone fell for it and gave themselves a pat on the back like a bunch of men-children. In reality, most people were quick to discount their attempts. -
Atlas Shrugged (November Release?)
Live Like a Suicide replied to ajyoli's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
It started on 4chan, but soon spread to Reddit, across the forums and social media... They could have heard about it through their own sources, but it is just as likely that this Twitter account or its source saw the rumour floating around and decided to mention it (potentially without knowing its origins on 4chan/reddit). -
Atlas Shrugged (November Release?)
Live Like a Suicide replied to ajyoli's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I see your point, but the 4chan post was made when we already knew that Perhaps had been delayed, so it wasn't hard to say it had been delayed or 'up in the air'. It was a fact at that point. What wasn't a fact was the allegation that there was "bad blood with the label and now Perhaps is up in the air." -
Atlas Shrugged (November Release?)
Live Like a Suicide replied to ajyoli's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
My point is that the 4chan/reddit 'leak' gained a lot of traction. Many people have continued to mention Atlas for November as a result, despite there being no evidence. It may not be a coincidence that this Twitter account just so happens to mention the same release month as the original 4chan leak. -
Atlas Shrugged (November Release?)
Live Like a Suicide replied to ajyoli's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I think this is just a case of fake leaks run amok. It was that 4chan/reddit 'leak' that first suggested that Perhaps was pulled, that The General had a failed movie negotiation and that Atlas has a November release. 1) Perhaps wasn't pulled or up in the air. 2) There is no evidence that The General had a failed movie negotiation. 3) There is no evidence for an imminent release of Atlas Shrugged - unlike the info we had for Perhaps and The General leading up to the recent news. Likewise, if Atlas were to be released in November, it would make no sense not to include it on any LP alongside Perhaps/The General, unless they had more plans for new music this year. If that were the case, then it wouldn't make sense to schedule its release so soon after October's release. Here's the alleged leak: https://boards.4channel.org/mu/thread/117759348/guns-n-roses-plans -
Atlas Shrugged (November Release?)

Press X to doubt. -
Just saw this, from the perspective of Brain back in 2010: -Are you out of the band? If so, did you get any official confirmation? Give us details about that. Brian: i'm out of the currant touring band. i hope i can still be a part of the recordings!!! -In February 28, 2009, when asked if you were still in the band, Axl said "Last I checked. Brain works on several things with Guns either from his home or in the studio." How does that work? Brian: i'm doing some top secret shit right now!!!!!!!! http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?pid=172599#p172599

Absurd, HS and Perhaps have all had re-recordings done by Slash, Duff, Richard and (possibly) Melissa/Dizzy. We know for a fact that Absurd and Perhaps had Brain on the drums, and The General could potentially follow suit given it was partially written by Brain. In fact, the only track for which we don't have conclusive evidence for Brain playing on it is Hard Skool. Given the re-recordings done without Frank being on the final product for at least two of the three releases, is it fair to say that Frank could have been relegated to a touring drummer? Why has he been skipped on re-recordings when Richard and (possibly) Melissa haven't? Is Brain GN'R's studio drummer? Food for thought.
