Interesting article/interview on the late '80s/early '90s LA band Little Ceasar. There are some GN'R related bits: The singer, Ron Young, was going to be the singer in Snakepit I, but Geffen disagreed: https://www.loudersound.com/features/little-caesar-rock-band-story

Down On The Farm.

This one?

Duff's interview with Eddie Trunk at Power Trip aired yesterday. I don't have the audio yet, but there are some quotes from it here: https://blabbermouth.net/news/duff-mckagan-axl-rose-is-a-fing-master (It's just the usual, the tour has been great, Axl is great, Slash is great etc.)

I was intrigued by this and looked in the thread for that show. You had posted about it then:

Well, in recent interviews Patton said he was butthurt because GN'R treated FNM "like shit" and didn't talk to them, so that's why he did all that: https://loudwire.com/mike-patton-peed-axl-rose-teleprompter/ https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/oct/19/mike-patton-on-the-return-of-dead-cross-this-record-was-forged-through-covid-cancer-and-alcoholism Slash had some of them on his solo album with guest singers. Duff has made a good case for himself about being part of the early '80s Seattle scene that preceded those bands (and from which many of them came from), because he really was. He's also been friends with the AIC guys since the early '90s. Izzy doesn't care about anything anyway.

The soundcheck was last year. Here is the post with the clips: Also I think Evader has used parts of various Buckethead works for his version, so the guitars are not from the phone clip.

I doubt it, because although GN'R is its own label, Universal is still the distributor. Yes. Plus, the delay in the release of Perhaps didn't involve people having paid money and expecting delivery.

I remember that it appeared to be sold out at some point in the US GN'R merch store and it became available again after a couple of days (without a change in the shipping date). My guess is that maybe part of the stock was "relocated" from UMG stores around the world, so that there would be availability on the main GN'R merch stores, and so now UMG stores in other countries are out of stock.

Yes, I think as long as the people who have already pre-ordered don't get an email about a delay, Oct. 27 still stands. I had done some test purchases from various stores and I noticed that shipping from Italy was more expensive for me than from the US or the UK, although it should be the other way around considering that Italy is the closest to Greece. As I understand it, orders made on Universal online stores are delivered from the US (which explains the additional cost). Probably also GN'R merch stores have priority over the Universal stores regarding availability. Not that site. The Universal Italy store site: https://shop.universalmusic.it/products/guns-n-roses-perhaps-vinile-7-45-giri Universal Italy is apparently the source for what the news site has reported.

For the time being, the most plausible explanation is that the new placeholder dates in some European stores are because they're out of stock, so it concerns only those who are ordering now from these stores and not those who have already pre-ordered it.

Oh, you meant the Yahoo interview? I was confused, because you quoted my post with the song.

Universal France vinyl store has changed the date to Dec. 31: https://vinylcollector.store/collections/rock-metal/products/guns-n-roses-perhaps-vinyle-45t-exclusifguns-n-roses-perhaps-vinyle-45t-exclusif

Yes, the date in the Universal Italy store also was Oct. 27 originally.

Who?

I like this one

It sounded nothing like Evader's version to me (but of course it could be parts of The General anyway).

It's not the same price for all artists, though, so I guess it depends on the artist, too. E.g.: https://intro.live/desktop-artist-main-profile/alex-skolnick https://intro.live/desktop-artist-main-profile/jennifer-batten The platform itself uses the term "meet and greet":
