Seems the rain will hold out for a little while according to weather radar: https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/new-jersey/weather-radar

(x2) of Perhaps... Interesting. Knowing our luck they still won't play it tonight.

Is Axl there?

I think they might be going overboard. I did not even start the thread I commented in. I asked a simple question, and now I am at risk of being banned from the GNR subreddit and being IP banned by Reddit themselves apparently. I had no prior comments o or posts relating to that matter...

Wow Axl fucked everyone timing in the beginning in PC

August 22nd confirmed

Nice motivational pep talk by Axl before that "last one" on KoHD

I heard it too. You can tell they probably came to just hear the radio hits like SCOM, NR, WTTJ, Paradise CIty, and thats about it.

Some dude in the background on that stream: "WTF is this!!"

Instagram one ended but the facebook stream is still live https://www.facebook.com/ceci.alberto.378/videos/3813138632255896/

In terms of 2023 vocals, Axl getting a little more power behind his high voice on Jungle tonight. Small hints of rasp here and there.

Another stream popped up https://www.facebook.com/ceci.alberto.378/videos/3813138632255896/

I just checked and got that too. Not sure if its legit.

"highlights" Well, at least we can say Axl is doing slightly better since then.

The countdown timer was coded. The background graphic that said presave August 11th was a cgi rendered MP4 video file.

I think your thoughts reflect what most of us think right now. That August 11th date was probably the initial plan, and they even commissioned for that graphics to be made at some point. There is no way to know why or how these plans were changed (or possibly canceled), and I don't think we will ever find out.

So what I'm getting so far from the thread is that: - Someone commissioned the fully produced video graphic for August 11th. This seemingly confirmed the band's "initial" plans for the 11th and pushed it to the draft page. -Someone in the band got cold feet (Probably Axl), OR... -Some form of incompetence/miscommunication from someone at the band/label/promotion/etc teams. -

And if it was an accident, well someone might be getting raked over the coals right now.

I agree that the band/label was involved with it, but there was no formal announcement by any. We did in fact find it “before we were supposed to.” But officially, on official record, nothing was ever announced by anybody, so...

Doubt it. Someone paid for that video graphic. I think something fell apart in planning, or with Axl probably. Video graphic below: https://web.archive.org/web/20230805151455/https://preview.mira.umusic.com/page-preview/draft/9138a71f5227422888c7a1c83f1c85a9 (might take a minute to load in)
