i don't know how touchtunes pays the artists, but maybe GnR earns a slight amount of money every time someone plays Perhaps on a jukebox, so they don't want to remove it (yet)

I would be amazed if GNR has made more than $50 off of this.

I imagine SoundCloud is more responsive than TouchTunes on a Sunday. 

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.

Shit…GNR is on to us. An internal source has told me Axl’s skin has grown green and he is growing 5x in size, with a mission to take out every bar in America.

A good marketing team would take something like this and turn it into pure gold. A whole campaign would be made out of this. If it was (and it likely was) an accident, they wouldn’t make it seem like one.

I wonder how TB will react.

I mean if we are thinking logically and the band is thinking logically lol 😂 they are in New York… a million big talk shows are there. This would be a hell of a week to promote a new single. It makes too much sense! Haha 

All the talk shows are not showing new episodes right now due to the writers strike.

Maybe tomorrow, because I think announcements are not usually made over the weekend. We'll have to wait and see.

If they don’t bother taking it down until then, that’s possible. To be honest I would’ve expected by now TB would’ve taken this down like a dog on a pork chop. 
 

Could the delay have been a last minute sponsorship deal from TouchTunes?

If it was a real marketing plan, they would’ve tweeted something like “might be worth a visit to your local pub this week…and check out TouchTunes while you’re at it!” 
 

Doing it without saying anything means maybe 100 people at most will discover it naturally. I would’ve never thought in a million years to check out “TouchTunes” otherwise.

So what is the consensus about the vocals? Which parts are different?

The “heys” seem to be redone (doesn’t seem like the 99’ voice at all, to me it sounded recent) and apparently there’s a lower Axl on the choruses a la Shacklers Revenge.

Being a GNR fan is torture but for moments like this it’s (a little bit) worth it. You can’t possibly make up this kind of scenario. The funniest comedians in the world couldn’t write this shit.

Did they really forget to cancel TouchTunes, or is it a part of their plan?

Part of their plan of having a few dozen GNR nerds drive to bars across the world to listen a song that’s been recorded for 25 years?

I really hate to be negative, but this picture looks weird as fuck to me. He has gone sleeveless recently, though, right? I feel like I've seen him wear a lighter colored sleeveless shirt like the one he used to wear around 2006.

Yeah, something seems really off. I think he’s in good shape, not making fun of his weight. Just something feels really bizarre about this photo.

Melissa liked someone social media post? Then it’s settled. It’s happening tonight. 100%.

This was GNR’s master plan. Not release music so we all fight and yell at eachother into world chaos erupts. Then a world war will eventually break out, and therefore we would have to respect what was going on in the world for an eternity so nothing new would ever come out.

Being a GNR fan in 2023 basically requires being a borderline conspiracy theorist as is anyways.

All this for ONE song that is 24 years old minimum and will have zero music video or promotion from the band coz they are sooo punk as fuck. Lol fucking embarrassing band

They really tried. They’re trying to get it out any day now. But between trying to respect what’s going on in the world and not knowing how to release a single in this day and age, they just couldn’t figure out how to do it.

Seems like it's all bollocks

“All Bollocks” should be the name of the next EP/album

The Apple Music links means absolutely nothing. It says it’s not available in any country so who cares?

Yeah, they've made the Perhpas url as if it's a track from an album.

New album CONFIRMED?

GNR can’t even release one song correctly and now we’re thinking they’re going to release 4 songs????

The link had a graphic of a CGI video that said “August 11”. That’s not simple text. They paid someone to make that because they firmly believed it would release August 11th. It’s not ridiculous at all fans took that as evidence it would’ve released today.
