No more excuses Team Brazil I like to splash the cash when I can! Not arrived yet though, I'll keep you updated to save you restless nights on that front. In the meantime you can get busy applying some fake tattoos. See if you can apply so many that your family disown you.

Movies are being released early on streaming platforms because people are stuck at home. If anything, I think a big music release would do better during the pandemic, at least in terms of the streaming metrics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Let's not beat around the bush here......the conronavirus is NOTHING to do with the lack of new material and/or the release of it. No plans will have been on hold....because it's 99 per cent likely there weren't any plans. The only plan that looks to have been in place was to MAYBE insert Hardschool into the NITL setlist and MAYBE substitute a couple of older songs for some other older songs on the odd night. Both of those are big maybes. It's business as usual in GNR world. Edited March 19, 2020 by allwaystired 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidin´Stradlin Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 With all that is going on, it would be awesome if GNR releases the album online. In youtube and available for free in amazon or torrents. Great publicity. Now, back to earth....this won´t happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gavgnr Posted March 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2020 I’d love it if some fucker just dropped in here with a link for the 2010 album. The band ain’t interested in releasing shit.

But I think it's likely their plans to release hardschool (and maybe a couple other songs) have been sunk by the virus. We'll get there in the end though.

Theres actually a double whammy benefit - release standard album now for streaming only, release deluxe edition with bonus tracks on CD / vinyl once coronavirus has fucked off.

You’d have to think tunes on it would be earmarked for the new album and so the potential ‘cash-in’ for any hoarders must be a bit shaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoochild Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 There are some bands playing "virtual shows" and streaming it. Of course GNR would never do that, but there are people using the situation to get their music out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Springsteen released some live stuff to watch during these strange days for free so that people got something to enjoy while they are stuck at home. Guess who would never do something like this? Yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could just set up in the rehearsal studio and play some songs, maybe take a couple requests. Would be a cool way to do some different songs too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
