and that was Tom making a mistake or misremembering, not him trying to change the narrative.

I guess he also made a mistake when he said this stuff sounds like Appetite for Destruction. I definitely see the similarities between Perhaps and Out Ta Get Me

what are you guys talking about? Tom Mayhue was bullshiting and made an attempt to change the narrative? if one or both of you are joking, my bad, but give me a fuckin' break lol... the man was just answering questions to the best of his ability.

GnR was a nobody new band when they recorded Appetite for Geffen Records. A label like Geffen wouldn’t fund a studio bill for a new band to record over 2 dozen songs.  Axl did however, record 29 plus songs for Chinese Democracy 

I’m just glad a lot of these songs have already leaked so they can’t try to pass them off as “new” GnR songs written with Slash and Duff. Tom Mayhue made an attempt at changing the narrative to make people think they recorded 29 songs for Appetite, but nice try buddy.  The laziest brand in the world is just copying and pasting parts on songs deemed not good enough in 2008

It's crazy that they would delay this song release. Like what could be the hold up?  The song has to be done. I can't imagine there is going to be some giant marketing campaign for one song.  Even if there was a physical release delaying things it would be all online orders anyway so that would not hold anything up.

 

So many news outlets have already reported the song coming out, why would you want any bad press surrounding it?

 

Just a bizarre decision by universal if it actually is delayed 

There will never be some giant marketing campaign with anything related to Guns N’ Roses. The days of midnight record releases, constant press when Illusions came out, is long gone. They’ll have a couple online articles when the song comes out, radio will play it (possibly) a few times, then it’ll go away and Sweet Child O’ Mine will be back in heavy rotation. 

Anyone is delusional to think the general public gives a shit about a “new” Guns N’ Roses song.  The music is just for their hardcore fans because they’re a legacy act at this point.  There doesn't need to be this big press announcement public roll out for a single.  Alice Cooper just released one this morning.  It's not hard.  The fans care.  The public could care less.

It’ll be a Mickey Mouse train wreck anyways like Hard stool is

maybe they're still fixing and testing and modifying the site :O

Probably had to go back into the studio to tweak the guitars 1.5 dB and lower the drums -0.5 dB. Still some tuesdays left in 2023

I agree that Slash did great work on Absurd. Aside from Brain’s drums being too low in the mix, that’s a fun song.

Hard Skool is a mess. Sounds more like a drum machine. I think even Frank could do better than whatever did the drums for the released Hard Skool, such a shame too as Josh’s drums are amazing. I’m sure Brain’s take during the CD era was too.

My guess is they will have physical media ready around the time they release the next single or singles. Why waste production on just one song? They should consolidate, minimally with two new songs like they did last time. Ideally, they will have more because 4 tracks on a CD gets boring fast, especially when two are live. 

We also don’t know if Hard Skool was reworked as its current version before Slash and Duff came back. We only know Absurd was basically the same because of the Bumblefoot leak in 2018. . Hard School could’ve been reworked prior to Slash and Duff returning

I have a hangover, so this may be me just being dumb, but someone please explain to me why the thread says August 11, while the countdown is saying 3 days away, i.e. should be August 8. Thanks. It's the 5th today, right? 

Their concept of time is unlike any other

Perhaps (3.27.00)

Most of the videos of Perhaps on YouTube have been pulled. I know because I was listening to one of the videos last night and now it's gone... along with every other video of Perhaps that had substantial views. The kicker is that some of these accounts have uploaded numerous Village Session songs like Atlas, SOG, HS, etc, that have not been pulled alongside Perhaps.

Probably just the usual suspects up to their old tricks of getting videos removed.  UMG is probably just sick of getting them taken down since they always get re-uploaded anyways.  The fact that this is the 3rd single of songs from these leaks that had Axl vocals is disheartening.  Will we ever get anything "new" (meaning, even if it was something recorded in 2004, at least its something we never heard before)

How many Tuesday’s left in 2023?

Any day now!!  This band is pathetic

Id agree with you 100% stadiums were designed for sports not for music, rarely does a band sound good in a stadium. When Rock music moved to stadiums it became “a show” and not a musical experience anymore. Stadium shows are events rather than gigs.
 

I would really love to see GnR do a “Stones/Licks” type tour. The Stones on that tour pulled into a city and did a Club, Arena & Stadium gig in most cities. I’d love to see GnR play a few clubs and get back to the roots of their music, rather than the “show” they’re forced into playing in stadiums. When you have the tunes GnR have, you don’t really need a show. The songs are strong enough on their own. 

The difference is, the Stones have decades of music to play from and often switch up setlists if it’s a club show etc.  GnR has Appetite and 3 other records

As long as (enough) money is to be made and they are continuesly booked into stadiums, they are a stadium act. If promoters loose money, booking them there and they stop booking them there, then they are no stadium act (in North America) anymore. Though they still are in the rest of the world. So maybe that says more about americans than about them.

Yeah, maybe it says Americans are smarter than the rest of the world because they were the first to recognize the great rock n roll swindle that GnR has become

People want to see Taylor Swift so they spend the money. No one wants to see Guns N’ Roses so they don’t spend the money. There’s no mystery here. GnR is not a stadium act anymore especially at these prices. The ride is over.

god I hope Axl or any of the other guys doesn't go on Joe Rogan, just seeing him taking a photo with him and saying he gave him backstage passes taints him for me, if he went on that show I think it would ruin GNR for me

So going on Joe Rogan is the breaking point?  For me it’s putting out 17 songs since 1993

They might just have to cancel this show outright honestly

That was what it looked like on Sunday. As of Monday they’ve made every other row available in the upper and lower bowls, so they’ll be closing off the top of the stadium for sure. The floor seats remain unchanged but they’ve “lowered” ticket prices. (Although PIT going from $375 to $275 isn’t going to move the needle)

LOL

Good to know. Now when I get my ticket from Goldstar for $20 to see them at one of the half empty stadiums in the US this summer, I’ll know not to spend a dime on any alcohol at the venue

They’ll put their name on anything BUT a CD or LP

That's such a weird thing. It was called Hardschool back in 2000, and that makes sense from the lyrics, and released as Hard Skool, too, why was it temporarily called Jackie Chan back in 2008? It makes no sense why they should change the name to Jackie Chan. I get that it would have worked as a working title if it was intended for a Jackie Chan action movie, as a placeholder name, but 2008 was long after that happened.

Could it be that Axl is wrong and thinks of another song, the one that was actually intended for the movie? This could explain why neither Duff or Slash has confirmed they worked on Hard School - they didn't, because it isn't the song intended for Jackie Chan. Well, just a hypothesis.

That’s what I always thought too. Or he was just speaking gibberish to confuse everyone.
