Jw224 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 It's GNR we're talking about guys. If you're honestly expecting this stuff and not just seeing what happens then it'll be a disappointment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Well songs always come out at midnight on Friday on Spotify, so due to my timezone if HS is really dropping now I'll know in 2 1/2 hours, way before the show. If it's not coming out, I see no reason why they would be playing it tonight but also NOT releasing it at the same time, that would just be extremely odd.

Absurd dropped at 9 am in Europe. If they'll release it again at midnight, it will be 7 am this time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Absurd came out on Friday 6am EU mainland timezone, which was midnight ET I think Edited September 16, 2021 by SAU3R 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the first time I see a song coming out during the day on Spotify, I've never seen that before, it was always midnight when I saw new songs.

It probably works differently for albums than for singles, especially in a case like this, where it gets played live the first time and the singer announces a release in a few hrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Riggs Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Yeah if the song is released, it would almost surely be at 12AM Eastern Time. So about 8 hours from now. Coincidentally the exact time (11PM Central Time) the curfew is tonight at Wrigley Field for the concert. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it though, why would it come out at exactly the same time for every timezone on earth? That's not normally the case is it? For example, when Myles solo album came out a few months ago I already had friends in Australia listening to it many hours before it was midnight for me, when it also dropped for me.

Yeah I don’t totally get it either outside it would kinda make sense that big American artists would base their releases off of when America first hits Friday at 12AM Eastern time. That would prevent it leaking in the US hours before it’s actually supposed to be released. I imagine some artists care about this and others don’t. In this particular case, the song would be debuting live tonight in America and then be released worldwide so the time makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Both Absurd and Hard School have been rehearsed at every show where there was someone outside to listen to soundcheck (at most shows there wasn't and we had clips only from Meegan or not at all). So I think it's safe to say that they've both been rehearsed at every show. Edited September 16, 2021 by Blackstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing 2 “new” songs before tour would have made a lot more sense than now. With this tour wrapping up seems odd to release now but I guess the GnR world is odd.

If the Aussie tour won't happen, they could always play the US again with their new song in the baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave94 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Considering tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of UYI it would be as good a time as any to release a new song. Fingers crossed tomorrow morning we’ll have something “new”. Hard School is definitely more exciting than bloody silkworms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
