GNRRHCP98 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 The Linktree wouldn’t redirect to GNR… we would still be getting a 404 error (Try gunsnroses.lnk.to/thegeneral for example). I think the stuff over the weekend was beta, and the countdown will officially launch after the show today. If I remember correctly, “Absurd” made its live “debut” at the second show of the 2021 tour, and then the studio version was released after the third show. There’s a show today and then on the 11th (the date mentioned on the test site from UMG.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think we wont get anything August 11 Like someone said a few pages back, the countdown is irrelevant. It was a test page that we weren't supposed to find out about yet, so the countdown didn't mean anything. My guess is it will be activated with the countdown ending on Friday/release date. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterman Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 There have been a lot of high quality video clips lately from the shows and backstage - it would have been supercool if they have made a video for Perhaps. Will be their first in 30 years!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I don’t know if it works the same way for huge bands like GnR but when you want to release a new song on streaming, it normally takes a while from the time the artist uploads it to the label/distributor’s platform to the day it actually gets out. That’s because all of the othre things that come with releasing a new track or album need to be in place before the actual release: - The streaming platform will a analyse the song and see if it fits into its main playlists and, if it does, get ready to add it to each one upon release. - The streaming service will analyse the other releases that day to see how much of a spotlight your release will have, for example, in the home screen of the app, in the hot new stuff section, in the specific genre-relates new releases section, and specially un the customized recommendations of each listener according to the data they have on their musical taste and preferences. - It also gives enough time for the artist to have private streaming links on these platforms so their PR can send these links to reviewers, sites, magazines, etc - Finally, it takes at least a day or two for the streaming platforms to analyse your album artwork. They can demand alterations according to their platform rules. I myself had to alter one of my album covers because it was a retro-looking cover that had mentions to outdated audio quality which might confuse digital streaming users. Plus, if you have a custom animation like Spotify Canvas, etc… that also needs to get approved (although its usually a lot quicker and more simple for these animations) My point is - if that track was ready to launch to the point where it had gone through most of these stages and met the right conditions, I doubt they would cancel it for no good reason. Its still probably gonna be released some time soon, we just don’t know when. If it’s the same process for huge artists as for smaller ones, it’s not overnight and the fact that link existed and worked does not mean the release was gonna be any time soon like that. Calm down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The specificity of the release date makes me think this is it. Since the fandom has been tinkering with the link for quite a while, maybe we just so happened to stumble upon the test they were more than likely trying to keep under wraps this weekend. I’ll bet dollars to donuts the artwork is gonna be the magic 8 ball, similar to how “Hard Skool” had the locker and “Absurd” with that weird Medusa thing. The fact there is even some artwork/theme for the song is also very promising and to me more evidence of an imminent launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a troll who comments under various videos of unreleased or alleged GN'R songs saying that they were definitely written by Paul Tobias, but doesn't know what "Rose" contributed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I WANT to believe still, Paul is an enigma. I like to think of him having this great songwriting ability. It adds even more weirdness to the situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these youtube comments are nothing to rely on. The same user wrote that "Shallow" (the fake "early GN'R song") was written by Tobias as well.

bumbleslash69 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Perhaps brings up an official GnR Apple playlist too. My bet is between 10-11 am eastern time a Tweet goes out with a link in a fairly unceremonious fashion. The (magic 8) ball is in Universal’s hands now and not Team Brazil. It should be pretty status quo rollout and lack the fuckery from yesteryear. Perhaps I’m wrong, but barring some miraculous I wouldn’t get expectations too high. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
