betterman Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 A song does not need to be released on a friday, even if its most common. Green Day released last tuesday Could be that it is released digitally f.ex on Halloween, maybe they want people who ordered it to listen to it firsthand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoForJMark Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 My friend from the industry said they're holding it until the war is over. I don't know which war but they're giving way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chorrada Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Maybe they just didn't update the UK and USA pages and it's been postponed there as well. I'm pissed they didn't even send a mail that the release was postponed in Germany, so I canceled the order. Don't have a vinyl player anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always but a record player (which requires much more than just the turntable itself). What kind of "fan" are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not alone, apparently only half of vinyl record owners actually own a vinyl player. Despite youtube, the reality is they're more targeted for hipsters and boomers who couldn't operate a walkman than audiophiles. I'm actually not joking.

I was going to buy the vinyl (would've been my first one) to support the band, but I'll guess they'll have to do with the hundreds of euros I spend on their concert tickets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The German store says the estimated DELIVERY date is 11/3. Before the update it was the estimated SHIPPING date 10/27. So, nothing changed basically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacdaniel Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 What's becoming clear is that the first time most of us hear this song will probably be pretty poor quality rip. I guess Slash was 100% serious when he said they're not actually sure how to release music. Hopefully if they ever release anything else they just pick a date and release it digitally like normal people. No jukeboxes, vinyl only nonsense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flayer Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 52 minutes ago, username said: No no, you have it all wrong. You see, only a relatively small part of GnR's idiotic fanbase is desperate for new music and releasing it on vinyl only is a great way to scam these idiots (that would be us) out of more money. Try to think like a member of Team Brazil and you'll see why this makes so much sense. You’re halfway there. The elite scam is to hype it as vinyl only, sell all those records, and then give it a digital release a month or two later once the return date has expired.

I don't think that would fit the definition of "scam". It's just a smart way to make business and maximize your profits from your product, when if you went the different route and released it digitally on the same day, you'd make less money because less people would be inclined to buy the vinyl. You can have the exact same product but if you're not smart in business moves you'll make way less, that's why people have literal full departments working on that shit.

Sweersa Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Maybe the vinyl will have the CD-era mix with Bucket/Robin while the subsequent digital release will be the NITL version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
