So apparently we have 3 seconds of it.

It's impressive everything about this song is a meme, from people claiming it's the heaviest, darkest shit ever to vinyl-only releases (as of now) in 2023 to supposed 56-page letters with the "legal repercussions" of leaking it... you couldn't make this shit up. lol And hopefully the song's great too. lol

No ideia what's the criteria. Both the 26th and the 27th would though, just please no delay. lol

Yeah. For some reason it says shipping on the 26th to some people and the 27th for others. Maybe is it's a gelocation thing. Even then, I tried to VPN myselft to the US and it still showed the 27th. That's in the US store, to be clear. But I know it's showing the 26th for many people.

It's been changed in Germany and some other european countries. Release date is still this friday in the US and UK stores, though. Matter of fact, some users have been saying their US shipping has been brought forward to tomorrow (26). To me it still shows the 27th, though.

I mean don't you remember anything about the song. Is it a rocker? Screaming vocals? What other song does it remind you? Do you remember a word from the lyrics?

So you're telling us The General is actually Livin' On A Prayer (Alt. Lyrics)? 😱😱😱

There's this guy and then there's the Chairman. GNR underground is basically an anime. MSL even looks like a DBZ villain.

Axl when this song leaks one or two days before release: who would do this... to me? To me? To me?

Said first by W. Axl Rose and then echoed by Mr. Saul Hudson. lol

Yes, but the point is that Beltrami and Buckmaster aren't credited as writers on any of the Chi Dem songs they worked on. You can check TWAT, Prostitute, Madagascar, This I Love... they're not credited as writers, so it doesn't really mean anything.

WAIT WHAT??? The General And Monsters? What gives? I remember Fernando called THe General a monster. Was he alluding to this?

Ah, the Slash/Tobias joint we all needed.

Great! Gotta say here it still shows "Ships on October 27", though. And yes, I'm looking at the US store. Maybe it's a cache thing? I don't know. But great news it this sticks.

Well, I contacted GNR Merch US and they're still saying the same thing.

What I'm still saying. For all we know, it's still slated for the 27th in the US and the UK.

Universal Music Italy. If you bought it from GNR Merch UK, I THINK you should be good. If I'm right, of course. lol

That's a good sign, actually. If they postponed it in a week in Germany, it means two things: 1) They are constantly updating the shipping date, so still not updating the US and UK stores would be rather strange; 2) The fact that Germany got a new date just one week removed from the original and not a placeholder tells me it's probably a distribution issue.

Yep. The fact that you still can buy it with the same expected shipping date in the US and UK makes me doubt the vinyl will be delayed globally. All we can do is wait, but my money is on this being a supply issue on Italy.

Well, I do think this is an Italy thing. If you go to the italian Universal Music web store, you'll see the vinyl has a placeholder date of 12/21/2023. However, US and UK stores still show the 27th. Let's wait and see, but I do think this is about the italian release only.

Yeah, but there's no reason to believe it'll change as of now. We're one week away from the release and nothing changed as of now. I'm a pretty anxious person, but let's not get ahead of ourselves and create problems to worry about. lol

As of now, it is shipping on the 27th and there's no reason to believe that will change. The only thing that got postponed is the magic 8-ball in the UK store, which now is slated for December 1st, but the vinyl's still slated for October 27th, even in the UK. And, for that matter, the magic 8-ball is still slated for the 27th in the US.

Ok, hear me out... what if they announce... SEVEN??? lol

Yep, it was them. They report this kind of stuff all the time and usually are pretty accurate. That's why it's interesting.

You saw this before I did, man. lol Interesting. Let's see.
