Coma16 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 The 11th made the most sense, especially with 4 days off. At bare minimum, this stretch of days off could have been used for promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Just caught up with all this. Great to have a new chapter in the utterly ludicrous carcrash history of GNR. Back to phone clips of tracks! Just like the good old days. Quite a laugh to think that somewhere a few cents are going to GNR as royalty payments for the plays of this. Be hilarious if that was the first they found out about people hearing it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GNRfanMILO Posted August 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) I don’t know if someone posted this, but the song is already on some Japanese website that sells music. It can be seen in the Wayback Machine: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://ototoy.jp/_/default/p/1766070 And if you access the link now, it has a countdown that leads to a Friday release (8/18): https://ototoy.jp/_/default/p/1766070 Also, HQ “artwork” here: Thanks HGH Edited August 13, 2023 by GNRfanMILO 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtripp20 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Yeah it makes sense. You can't realistically expect every distributor in the world to cancel a release right before it's supposed to drop. Not in today's market. It is fun to hear cell clips again tho. Reminds me of IRS on Eddie Trunk! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020_Intensions Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Imagine if this was some song we haven't heard yet ... like the mythical Soul Monster, or Thyme, or Seven ... And this is how we get our first listen ... Only this band can fuck up so bad on releasing one song that's already over 20 years old ...

I can't understand the Perfectionist or the label allowing it to leave the cutting room that way. Mind-blowing, as if it were done on purpose to screw with us. Axl actually isn’t a perfectionist is probably the most likely explanation. That was just another lie/excuse people made up to explain his inability to release stuff. Lazy or scared are more likely imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 18 minutes ago, Blackstar said: Yes. It wouldn't be a bad marketing plan, actually. On the other hand, I suppose discussion on it wouldn't be banned on GN'R Reddit if it was intentional. Given how beleaguered this whole marketing campaign for Perhaps has been, it is much more likely to be just one more addition in a whole host of mistakes than an intentional guerrilla marketing tactic, in my opinion. You never know though... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If it was a real marketing plan, they would’ve tweeted something like “might be worth a visit to your local pub this week…and check out TouchTunes while you’re at it!” Doing it without saying anything means maybe 100 people at most will discover it naturally. I would’ve never thought in a million years to check out “TouchTunes” otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems the best....but if you don't have it...and you do have that friend there might be a way to be alone in the bar and record it with your phone: good luck ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackparker123 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 This is a hilarious shambles. My guess is Perhaps will hit all streaming services at some point on Monday, and GNR/Team Brazil will claim that was the plan all along. Idiots.

Could the delay have been a last minute sponsorship deal from TouchTunes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
