I’ve never heard of a band dropping a song at a time that isn’t midnight in some timezone. and GNR always do what other bands do right? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's ready to go. When? I don't know (could be tomorrow, next Friday...) but it seems this time soon is the word 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Be nice if the reason for delay now is because someone decided to nut up and release all four (or however many) of the completed tracks at once. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gordon Comstock Posted August 11, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 At this point they've dragged this release out so much (by mentioning new songs in interviews for months, playing it at sound checks, the linkfire page, the linkedin post, etc) that they could release the song right now, and most reactions here would simply be "finally, now where's The F'N General?" It's almost impressive that they're botching this even more than the Hardschool release. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost impressive that they're botching this even more than the Hardschool release. 100%, it's a song we all have heard and know in a basic form already. It's not going to change much so there'll be a bit of excitement getting to listen to the finished version and seeing the reaction but after that it's back to square one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-p-d-a Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 there is a little hope of Perhaps tonight for me. They debut "Perhaps" tonight and than the 8 ball magic site goes online with a countdown for the 18th August... Please don't destroy my little 0,1% of hope 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 Even if the song is still a few weeks away, there's no harm in the band posting about it. Maneskin just posted a 30-second teaser for a song that isn't coming out until September 1, it sounds cool and I'm looking forward to it. It's that simple. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 GNR can’t even release one song correctly and now we’re thinking they’re going to release 4 songs???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I'm going to call BS on the Apple link. Someone else has claimed on Reddit that there is a The General link on Apple Music, and has referenced some dark web forum as the source... Also, comparing the alleged Apple Music URLs for Perhaps and The General to those of HS and Absurd shows that the former lack 'single' in the address where it is present for the latter.
