Just to change the subject a little...
I believe that these leaks are/were totally intentional, just like the "New Iphones images leaks" are to measure the general people reactions and make changes, every company does that. Gn'R is just like that. Gn'R camp leaked the song to calm down die hards, get their feedback, see their reactions and support to the songs and to piss the record label a little etc...
I remember that someone questioned Fernando (or other Gn'R related person) why Gn'R music were taken down from YouTube and he said that they couldn't do nothing about it, which makes sense because there's a ton of videos from Rick Beato questioning these take down from many artists and they couldn't manage anything about it.
So... I believe that the leaks are totally intentional...
