Popular Post Blackstar Posted August 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2023 It's basically everywhere on the news sites now, but the source seems to be the same: the Blabbermouth article which, in turn, got the news about the linkfire link and the test page from Reddit which got it from the forums and discord. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistoflemon21 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I don’t get this band sometimes. In 2023, how do you promote something so poorly unless it’s intentional? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be that the band have no interest and this is being done to meet contractual obligations. This has happened in the past with previous releases including the Greatest Hits and if you connect the dots, the release and lack of interest from the band would suggest Hard Skool was released under the same circumstances.

Most of the people that read these news articles are old farts that still talk shit about Axl as if it was still the 90s, and trash the band as only having 1 good album, some even say no good songs! Nobody cares about new music from GnR except more serious music fans and of course us hardcore fans. There is no exposing. This is billion dollar touring machine. They'll be just fine continuing on till retirement without releasing anything new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020_Intensions Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Just now, metalavenger99 said: Nobody cares about actual new music but i'm saying that it'd be weird asf to casuals if they don't follow up Yeah I think they already did damage with the casuals in that department. Absurd was an .... absurd song to release as the first new song in 13 years. And then the lack of promotion for both songs they did release followed up by no album and now 2 years later and still not another new song makes them look like clowns. But like I said, it ultimately doesn't matter. Every show of the reunion I've been to I've heard lots of shit said about how bad Axl sounds, but they keep touring and keep making money. Nobody I talked to had any interest in new music either, it was all "we came to hear SCOM and WTTJ" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outofgascar Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I’m really liking the Robin guitar solo on the Village Perhaps demo today. Very interested in hearing the Slashed version on Friday and the overall production compared to the 2021 and 2008 stuffs. Axl is the George Lucas of music with his Chinese Democracy Special Editions lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slash23579 Posted August 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2023 i’m still 100% convinced we’ll get it friday. the linkfire link is still active even tho it just brings us to the guns n’ roses website, just like the hard skool link did the week that song released. i also think it makes sense to release the studio version first before playing it live, like with hard skool. that way all the media attention will be for the studio track instead of the what could be a mediocre first performance 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post History2010 Posted August 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2023 Messing up the promotion of a new single this badly is classic Guns N' Roses. The eight year production hell of Chinese Democracy broke Axl's brain and he has never recovered. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it interesting that all the "it might be.." explanations you give in various threads about various things, none of them ever include the possibility that anything is ever GNR's fault or imperfection on any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so. I think if anything the box sets and yet more pressings of appetite is for the label. The singles seem more personal to Axl..that seems very evident when he sings absurd live. Also if you look at the singles HS & Absurd on Spotify they are released c p Guns N’Roses, under exclusive licence to Geffen Records. Everything else including uyi box set is UMG recordings, inc. I’m not an expert but I think that indicates GN’R has more control over the singles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
