Gnr should be back ok the road soon, what singles will they publish this time?

[themadcaplaughs]

The trend seems to be them being released in twos with one song sounding more like what people would expect from Guns N' Roses ("Hard Skool" and "Perhaps") and one sounding a little more "experimental" by GN'R standards ("Absurd" and "The General"). Like others often say however, knowing how this band operates, that could have just been a coincidence and we'll just get "Atlas Shrugged" and "Monsters". 

I have always felt, however, the decision to release "Absurd" as the first song was 100% a playful jab at the fan base. 

[SoulMonster]

Just some additional info. For the 2021 tour -- which started on July 31 and ended on October 3 -- Absurd was released on August 6 (a few shows into the tour) and Hard Skool was released September 24 (towards the end of the tour). For the 2023 tour -- which started on June 1 and ended on November 5 -- Perhaps was released on August 18 (in the middle of the tour) and General on December 8 (after the tour).

Not much rhyme or reason here, so I would be careful about anticipating a new single towards the start of the tour - if they even release more music next year. But who knows what will happen.

Taking note of the tour name should probably be advised at this point!

I get the vibe that nobody puts much thought into anything since years.

Slash and Duff don't seem to give a lot of fucks, I guess they recorded their parts years ago, handed them over, forgot about it and started working on their own stuff.

Axl gave up completely and lets Team Brazil do their thing.

Just speculation of course but thats how it feels to me.

Based on recent history:

1) A "new" song (e.g. Monsters) appears on a leaked setlist and/or starts being rehearsed at soundcheck on the fist/second date of the 2025 tour. Fans get impatient and then, as time goes by without the song being played/released, they get skeptical or totally pessimistic ("they'll never play it", "plans changed", "remember when they rehearsed OMG but never played it", and so on). Eventually, the song is released mid-tour or towards the end following the obligatory fuckup.

OR

2) No "new" songs on setlists or at soundcheck, which 90% will mean that there is no plan to release something during this tour.

Unless they surprise us this time and do something different (e.g. a release before or at the beginning of the tour). But that's not very likely.

[jacdaniel]

This is Guns N Roses. Last time they released songs they waited until their tour was practically over which makes no sense. 

I don’t see any link between tour dates and new songs for this band. If they want to release something, they will. If they’ve figured out how 

[BillConnor_1982]

Nothing

[Lelex95]

After reconsidering, yes new dates don’t mean dew release necessarily and it’s gnr so it’s better to doubt. I still hope we get monster and atlas 

[Sweersa]

A reworked Oh My God is possible too. If they re-record Bucket's solo (I doubt they will use Bumble's) I hope they have Fortis do it and also keep Bucket's wacky but amazing guitar during the chorus.

If you're talking about the wha guitar, that was Robin.

No kidding?! I'm referring to the bit that starts (and is rather high in the mix) and is throughout this bit: 

Oh, if it opens your eyes
This is better than a strong compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
This is better than the last compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shadows
If only you had let me know

It kicks back in later in the song, but is lower in the mix the second time around.

Yeah, you can see Robin playing this part in this Vegas video:

New single? We’d be lucky to get a new hat on the merch store

There will be no “new” songs released by the Guns brand in 2025

When people complained of his voice around that time (myself included when I got in to GNR).. What I'd do for him to sound like that now!

Good lord. THAT was a band. If you really study it, Paul is doing some really cool parts on this. 

As for singles, of course Atlas and Monsters are the obvious ones. The well is very likely almost empty. 

[Barlog]

If they ain't gonna release Monsters via jukebox, we riot.

Well last two tours they have released two sets of singles, so of course we're gonna act like that's the pattern now....

In the Appetite for Distortion podcast, I think Gary Sunshine took credit for the wah stuff. Robin was likely just the one to play it live.

I think Gary must have played during the "Oh my god, I can't deny this" part. That one with Robin is in a different part and it's not present on the 1999 release.

Noooo but Axl's had a personality transplant one Christmas between those examples 😁

But of course, we as a fan base have released more GNR than Guns have themselves....🙄
