That's why I said "usually". I don't think it's logical to go by the one time he did not lol.

Well, we only have 2 new songs in 15 years to go off, so we got about a 50/50 chance I’d say

I mean usually he shows up when a new song in the setlist is about to be played, I don't think it will be played before release now as he didn't show up

That didn’t happen for Hard Skool from what i remember.

Would be really sad (but fitting for how this band treats their fans) if they screw Hershey over by not debuting a new song for them by one show AGAIN

If they indeed worked on a half a dozen songs or so, I think that would be a great compromise with those in addition to the untouched CD songs. Alternatively, they could give Slash and Duff the Bumblefoot/Frank treatment they got on the 2008 album where they play bits here and there and some parts larger than others.

It would be a good thing to have but logically it will never happen and to be frank with you I think it’s kind of a useless thing to hope for with the state of this band. As long as Slash and Duff are back, anything with the CD guitarists as the prominent players won’t be released. 

I’ll be honest, I don’t really care about the timer if it doesn’t show up again. I think it’s safe to say that it’s coming Friday at this point no matter what. Granted I’ll say 95% just because this band is…this band.

I like Eye on You. It’s something wacky and industrial but has an insanely catchy melody which I didn’t always find in NIN albums. A Slash and Duff guitar driven version could be super interesting but I doubt they want to touch it with a 10 foot pole, especially since the vocals have been pinched before.

Yeah, my main problem is it just feels incomplete. Needs more lyrics. Absurd doesn't feel incomplete to me because it feels like it's meant to be that way, Perhaps just feels unfinished.

Maybe Slash and Duff have found a way to make it feel more finished lol, we'll need to see.

The only hope would be if Axl recorded a second verse since 99, but I kind of doubt it. It’s a real shame because I agree the repetitiveness hurts the song a lot, it’s essentially like listening to a 2 minute song back to back.

I just listened to the Village version of Perhaps again...this really isn't a great song, not even a good one. 

I can't see why they'd choose it if they had anything better finished and ready to go.

I completey disagree. I really enjoy Perhaps. I think it’s a bit underbaked and needed a second verse which I don’t think will be in the final version. But it has all the makings of a good GNR song imo, I could see it as a UYI track.

The Spotify stuff is only the sprinkles here. We already have it confirmed with the linkfire info anyways. Still exciting to see that it’s happening anyways.

The original plan was to release singles until there was an albums worth. Maybe, intentionally or not, within the next decade that’ll be concluded.

Ok guys, I have some new info regarding the upcoming release. Not sure if this is related to the single or the album but here we go:

- Grey suits and red ties are involved, might be related to the promotion/music video, not sure
- Term "quattro" is related
- Also "pizza", but probably not "quattro stagione"
- Number 90 is also important
- They will be doing late night promos this time, Jimmy Kimmel etc

There was something more but I forgot. Since this info was "given" me via dream, it might not be totally accurate, but I'd say around 92% of it is true. We'll see...

Nope, too hard to believe. They would never promote one of their releases.

It’s a useless debate. Axl has no interest in recording new music. All we will ever possibly get is unreleased CD songs, and that’s that.

Seemed like an album worth of singles was the original plan. Slash wanted singles to release until a full release could work. Sadly in future interviews he lowered his estimate down to 1-4 more songs.

This has to be the worst opening night since the reunion began... On the forum at least 

No one is there. No streams. Impossible to really say anything.

Setlist.FM is saying Perhaps is the 3rd song

Probably a troll

I have to correct a previous statement I made. On Gnrevo a user posted a pic from the GNR discord that apparently showed that *banned poster we are not allowed to discuss* did in fact predict 8/11 for Perhaps a few days ago, and according to those who interacted with him he also did predict The General for late September/October. Still not 100% sure as users can go to extreme lengths to fake these things, but it's not just a blatant troll post as I previously thought.

Could’ve also been a lucky guess.

Superior or not, you can't deny Slash's guitar alongside Axl's voice leads to the GNR sound. HS isn't anything special, but none of the CD songs have this signature sound that gives you the feeling to listen to a GNR song.

 

CD does sound different but I think it’s an evolution that I deeply enjoy, and I don’t think we would’ve ever gotten there without the previous works. 
 

I think the only way CD could’ve been perceived as a masterpiece would have been if GNR disbanded and Axl released CD under his own name. It would have never been scrutinized nearly as much as it was. And the whole “this isn’t GNR” debate wouldn’t have mattered.

Any info on soundcheck?

The site clearly wasn’t ready. We have all the information we need to know about the single though, so don’t care.

If you were TB - and Perhaps was the song you had to get behind, what would your playbook be to promote it?

Late night appearance?

That’s assuming they will do anything at all to promote it.

Are we still in Round 1?

Did Perhaps already got 2 million streams? 

If you count GNR fans refreshing the linkfire, it’s possible.
