This is similar to the fake Apple Music "placeholder page" for The General. They had taken the real placeholder page for Perhaps and just changed the song title on the url, but didn't change the item number Now it's changing the item name url in the page source code using inspect element and taking a small screenshot. You have to try harder, people

More recent article (not really an update, but it says that it's very likely that the show is going to be postponed as the baseball team has advanced in the play-offs): https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/music/guns-n-roses-concert-in-phoenix-rescheduled-by-arizona-diamondbacks-playoffs-17280201

I haven't seen any updates. I don't know how the team is doing.

I think the HS 7'' actually shipped out months earlier than originally announced and the CD shipped out about a month earlier.

I think they would have already started soundchecking it if they were going to release it this week or the next one. It's likely that two more shows will be added between Oct. 27th and Nov. 5th (there is this teaser for Vegas and L.A. is also rumoured). Hard Skool was released when there were only four shows left on that tour.

Why? I think the 27th (or a week later) is the most likely scenario.

June 2011.

I don't know, but they don't seem to use skeleton/skull imagery for the the artwork of the singles. Which, to me, is a good thing - even if the artwork isn't great, I prefer it to the tour artwork.

There was a Slash interview from September 2019 in which he said they had worked on stuff and one from January 2020 in which he suggested that they were working at the time: https://www.a-4-d.com/t4222-2019-09-09-sirius-xm-trunk-nation-interview-with-slash https://www.a-4-d.com/t4674-2020-03-16-no-guitar-is-safe-podcast-a-chat-with-slash

The Discogs trolls could have made it more believable if they hadn't used the Atlas "cover". That image is fake alert and no further thought is needed.

That was The General. Atlas was never on a setlist.

This Madagascar from Biloxi a couple of weeks ago was very good, too.

He was moving around a lot (and running, doing dance moves, being expressive, etc.) at the European shows, too. Maybe he wasn't doing that too much during the first NA shows because he was not feeling well.

According to this article, the show may have to be postponed or cancelled because of potential schedule conflict with the baseball team: https://ktar.com/story/5542348/phoenix-guns-n-roses-fans-might-need-patience-if-diamondbacks-win-wild-card-playoff-series/

I understand the feeling, although not so much in relation to those pants. Maybe they did make him look like an aged, though still eccentric, rockstar (which he is), and I liked that. Many people are put off by the short hair for similar reasons. I was put off at first, too, mostly in combination with the shape he was in when he first cut it, but now I actually prefer it short, especially when it's a bit messy, compared to the messy longer hair from 2016-18. I think what made him look old the most (and not in a good way - he even looked older than his age) was the mustache and the overall look of that era (hats, layers, etc., and the jeans didn't really help). He looks more youthful now, silver pants or not

The glossy/shiny jackets don't match the sneakers (and now jeans) either, anyway. I don't get why people were so "offended" (I don't mean the word literally, obviously) by the silver pants (maybe it's just a dude thing? ) I thought they were fine - a bit eccentric, sure, but Axl has always sported eccentric outfits. They were also more flattering because they were looser. Axl's legs are thin and as a result the tight jeans make the upper part of his body (and especially the waist area where he's bigger) more prominent.

He changed them a couple of shows ago. I think looked better in the looser silver pants though than in the tight jeans.

I listened to most of Perhaps and I thought it sounded as good as last time, maybe even a little better.

It's not happening (the AFD reunion) in the foreseeable future. But who knows, it may happen at some point. I remember Axl was asked by a fan about it in 2017/18 and said "Anything is possible" or something like that.

I see that they're slamming Brian for his weight gain saying that it's going to affect his singing. Sounds familiar
