I threw out 3 weeks as an example. I just think it’s a bit unreasonable for people to throw their hands up and declare the song canceled just because it didn’t drop this Friday because for some reason they assumed that “any day now” meant this Friday. Oh knock it off with this bullshit about authoritative voice. I’m not an authority. I’m not Axl Rose or in the band or on the management team. I have no connection to the band. I’m just a fan from DC, and this is the only fandom that requires qualifiers like that. It’s a message board about a rock band. Everything I type is just my opinion, and I don’t have to clarify that every time just to make you feel better. If I say it’ll drop before the NA tour, it’s just my best guess. If I say Perhaps is a piece of shit, then obviously that’s just my opinion. You shouldn’t need me to clarify that. If you don’t get that, then *perhaps* the internet just isn’t for you. So you see no irony in popping in to say "Jesus Christ" to everyone speculating in a thread, then state boldly that new stuff is coming at the beginning of the NA tour.....which is also total speculation? And throw your toys out of the pram when it's pointed out? Maybe, based on the fact you've dropped in to tell everyone how shit everything the band could potentially release is, and how we're wrong to want them to play it, a new album thread about GNR in 2023 possibly isn't for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because my point is that I think those people are being unreasonable. I don’t think my assumption that the single will drop sometime during the NA tour is unreasonable because that’s exactly how it went down with Hard Skool and Absurd. Is it speculative? Sure. But it’s not hysterical. I’m not throwing my toys out of anything. Also, two notes with regards to new music: I could change my mind about it. I didn’t like the Silkworm leaks but was pleasantly surprised by Absurd. I thought the Village version of Hard Skool was overrated but quite liked Slash and Duff’s version. Hopefully they pull off a miracle with Perhaps, though I’m not optimistic. But I disagree with your premise that just because I don’t like the remainder of the unreleased songs means that maybe the thread isn’t for me. Last I checked, this was a thread for discussing new music - there’s no requirement that I have to like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 There is not a doubt in my mind that the band has planned to release a single. It is most likely just a matter of time - days or weeks. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give it up man, people being excited and getting their own hopes up isn’t ruining you day or life. If they’re excited about discussing and speculating then power to them. If you don’t believe any of the “rumours or speculation” then power to you too. But to argue over who’s right or wrong is pointless. It just adds negativity when there’s already enough of that in the world as it is.

They'd be better off just saying "no comment" when asked anything to do with GNR to preserve their creditably down the road. Don't encourage them.

AxlRoseCDII Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I thought Perhaps was the best song of the leaks. Much better than Atlas Shrugged. My highest criticism is that that the song loops itself twice and should’ve had more lyrics. Could’ve changed in the final but I doubt it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardNixon Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I really liked "Atlas Shrugged," has a real Zeppelin vibe, IMHO. It needs some work, but it's a good song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosesandguns Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Perhaps, with that rhythm pattern, sounds like a bad Oasis B-side. I can't believe people are actually psyched to hear that. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am interested. Again, their last releases are Chinese Democracy, Absurd, and Hard Skool. I liked all three. I just don’t like the remainder of the Village Leaks (at least the ones with vocals - there are one or two instrumentals I like that I wish they’d flesh out).
