thunderram Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I just searched using spotify in my Sonos app and didn't get a GN'R return at all. Edited September 15, 2021 by thunderram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterman Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 So everybody in US gets GNR when typing "hard school", but not any in rest of the world?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester 524 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 worked for me on Spotify in the US. I also typed in Perhaps, Eye on You, Atlas shrugged and GNR didn't show up at all in the results. I don't have the balls to type "Just a friend" bc I'm so scared that Axl covered that and will release it as the next song..........lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I don't buy it. This is in the same territory as the analysis of the reflection on a water bottle from GNR rehearsal back in March 2016 trying to "see" who's in the band. As long as no one knows exactly how the Spotify search engine works this is bogus IMO. What if it really has elements of google search in it?

jettesnel Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I did the same thing with another artist which I know will release a song next week, the same thing happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I don't know. I think if Spotify search worked similarly to Google search, then it would appear to anyone who has created GnR playlists on Spotify regardless of country. But it seems it happens only with Spotify US, although the "news" about HS has made the rounds in media outlets all over the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pskihq92 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I am in Canada. If I put " Hard Sk" gnr is the 2nd result( the band not soyl) but if I add any other letters or remove any "hard s" or " hard sko" then GNR goes away. Silkworms brings up Absurd first then GNR with Absurds cover art Edited September 15, 2021 by Pskihq92 Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 This could’ve been the case with Absurd honestly but none of us caught it since no one day it coming. I wonder if a search for Absurd with a backwards R would’ve prompted the same thing the other month, guess we’ll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaxTeller Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Just tried it , I'm from Greece ,no GN'R. And I have a lot of GN'R stuff in my spotify profile. Something is in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I personally don't think it means much. Could just be that Spotify uses some data from search engines in its search. Also as someone else said there could be playlists titled Hard Skool with GNR tracks in them, although you'd think they would be the first thing to come up if that's the case. Hopefully I'm wrong and we get something soon lol. Also it doesn't actually work for me haha. Edited September 15, 2021 by Jw224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangarcianr Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It’s not working for me here in Argentina. If you type Siklworms the first result shown is Chinese democracy, same with Oh My God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotify maybe one company, but it operates within individual countries and regions differently. As do all streaming services. Content licensing is often region specific. This is less so with music. The issue either has to do with GNR/Universal not having got things rolling in your specific country (say, Canada) or enough people in that region are searching "Hardschool + GNR" in a given country that Spotify's algorithms are limiting the results for that particular country. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ak1nney Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I mean... it's there for us in the USA. I think it's clearly in the database, just not hit its release date yet. Not sure why that's not realistic. They've soundchecked the song and we've seen the stage screen graphics of "Hard Skool". It's obviously coming at some point. You can doubt it based on no proof other than it's not released yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "Hard School" also gives a result for GNR then that's proof to me that spotifys search engine functions like the google one, since "Hard School" would not be in the database.

I just tried "Hard School". It will list Shadow but not GN'R whereas searching for Hard Skool lists both Edited September 15, 2021 by Gibson87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
