It would be nice to be able to add it to my playlists in good quality, how the artist intends for us to hear it, without downloading it or having to listen to it as some bizarre upload. It would be nice to be able to send it to some family and friends without explaining how much of a dork I am for knowing this and saying that this is a demo that should’ve been out last century. By the time you explain that no one gives a shit. Not to mention just be excited to see your band pretending not to be a soulless nostalgia act and actually attempting to have any artistic integrity. This is GNR. It was supposed to come out the 11th. If they keep pushing and pushing the release, the way this band works, it will never be out. It’s Chinese Democracy all over again. The goalposts will move and move as long as the band allows Axl to, aka forever. It’s been 2 years. Entire albums, hell, entire goddamn films are made and released in that timespan.

That’s just called being a fan of this band. -
I still sort of feel that way about Perhaps, personally. I think it’s a shame that Axl never recorded a second verse though, and why I don’t think I will be able to say it’s one of the best GNR songs of all time. I still think it’s a very good track though, much better than it’s given credit for nowadays. It’s very melodic, epic, and a great evolution from the UYI albums.

I wouldn’t say it’s not coming out on Friday just because it was taken off the app. I’ve been pretty vocal about my opinion though that there’s a good chance that they may delay or shelve the release to spite us further now that we’ve heard it. But it being taken off the app isn’t proof of that. If it doesn’t happen this Friday though, in my opinion it’ll either come out in months, years, or never.

Perhaps not everyone, but I truly believe there’s a significant portion of fans, moreso casual, who never gave CD material a chance purely based off of the fact Slash wasn’t on it. I personally feel the material stands on its own and some of the tracks are the best in the GNR discography. There are some stinkers, yes, and I agree some of the beeps and layers are stupid, but I am of the opinion that the album contains some of GNR’s best work.

Is it safe to assume leaving it up is intentional at this point on TB’s side? Like, they would’ve taken it down by now, surely, right? Not saying they intentionally meant to release it only on this app- saying that by now they would’ve had to be notified and specifically haven’t requested a take down. Maybe they don’t care.

I wonder if TouchTunes has any grounds to keep it on their service? They’ve probably received an uptick of users from this, I think none of us even knew what this was yesterday. I wonder if they would prefer to keep it on the service and if they have any legal grounds that they were signed to release it August 11, since the cancellation/delay of the song was done haphazardly.
