timoteo Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 1 hour ago, Sledge said: Well I guess that's one way of looking at it. For me if I saw "Perhaps official release 📅 available in-store jbhifi" and I turned up to the shop and it wasn't there I'd be disappointed a little. When I see just a shipping date I have no expectations of seeing it even close to that date. That's just me. If I look at it as a promise then I'm inevitably setting myself up for a negative emotional reaction. I won't preach about how people should live their lives, just voicing an alternative way that works well for me. I bought tickets to a guns show in 2002. They canceled the tour. this band has a bad history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparker123 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I'm still yet to receive an email regarding the delayed Perhaps 7" However on principle I've now cancelled my Appetite numbered album order which was supposed to ship September 8th (the day after my birthday), that was pushed back until December 31st This band is a total joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betterman Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 They could have sent out a download link to everybody who have pre-ordered due to the postponement. It would have been a good solution, but seems Axl wants to hoard his own tracks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bangit Posted October 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2023 No email as of yet here in the UK. What fucks me off big time here is the total lack of communication from the cunts running the show. Beyond incompetent. Arrogant, treat the fans like shit. I shouldn't be surprised though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardedranga Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The odds of the delay being due to them having progressed with other songs and wanted to do an ep? 🫥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaguns1982 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Is it possible that people in other countries other than the US will still receive their copies? They’d have to be getting pressed in each country individually. Edited October 27, 2023 by megaguns1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think we have avoided the delay, but knowing these shithouses it's most likely the latter. Guess we will find out soon, should in theory be getting a text from the Royal Mail any second..

vloors Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) NEWS FLASH - The General has been pulled. You will now receive with Perhaps vinyl your choice of GnR Toy Truck, Toy GnR Air aeroplane or a GnR Childrens book. Fernando says we assume the fans will appreciate this way more than additional music. Edited October 27, 2023 by vloors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine a thousand things can go wrong. But you choose to instead think it is deliberately delayed to make us impatient? Why would they want to make us even more impatient?

As I understood it he only asked why people cancelled their orders which indeed doesn't make any sense since the song everyone's waiting for is coming sooner or later. I don't see any defending of TB anywhere in this thread or that post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do some people act like getting a thread to 1000 pages is some grand achievement? By "something funny" I assume you mean the usual GNR chestnuts like soon isn't the word, it's in my ass, thanks to ___ I'm going home, etc? Those long ago entered "That's so funny I forgot to laugh" territory. They win that on a technicality. Perhaps is out now. Smart move. Delaying The General will help move an extra 3 copies of Duff's album. I try to see the funny side and am still amazed how things develop.

Lio Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I don't think it's a simple delay. It never is with GNR. There are always WTF reasons for anything going wrong in GNR world. Duff just managed to get a vinyl out, right? It's always only wheb it's under the GNR name that something goes wrong. I'm not pissed or even very surprised, but I think it's beyond naive that this is just a delay like so many things are delayed in the music world. Meanwhile my daughter's laughing at me as Taylor Swift re-released another one of her albums, including five new songs from the vault, today. I was telling her earlier this week today we should listen to The General, and not Taylor Swift. Thank god she has idols who actually like releasing stuff. I wouldn't wish a band like GNR on anyone 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why do you think they would want to get us impatient? Completely understand but what annoys me is why not a cd option? It’s so unbelievably simple. They can avoid streaming all they want but to make this song only available on a 7” record is ridiculous. Add in the “pressing” delays, people who ordered the vinyl would have still been notified today regarding that but if they had a cd option then they’d still be pleasing majority of people today with a release. It would have avoided all of this anger amongst fans and them disappointing once more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 To reiterate, the delay itself, while being a bummer, is not the main gear-grinder. It’s the fact that a) it was half-announced by the companies on the very same day, in fact a few hours after it was supposed to be released, which in a normal situation would make no sense; and b) once again, there’s not a shred of an official word from the best and most competent management under the sun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
