That Times Square promo is an eye opener. That's like Taylor Swift-Beyonce shit.
Maybe the last two releases flopping hurt some egos? Maybe they finally decided to do a thing right? Ticket sales aren't what they once were.
But getting the corporation to spend money on this type of marketing is pretty surprising. I guess the company believes there is enough public interest to justify this spending. That’s a surprise given that it’s an old geezer band.
Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
What the heck is going on here? Oh well, I can't complain.
It's either A) they are trying make up for the lackluster ticket sales or B) it's ramping up for something else...like an album.
But it is interesting that is coming now on top of the video and announcement of The General.

Holy fuck.
We're eventually getting an album aren't we?!?
It's too much promotion (money) for simply launching one song + a B side.
It has to be leading to something.
I fucking love this!!!

I don’t put any faith in this band following through with something like that.
It’d be nice if that happened. But just because we get this, doesn’t mean we get that.
This is usually the most dysfunctional band ever, don’t forget.

Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
Song is a grower and catchy as hell. I think the biggest hurdle to this being a mainstream hit is that it’s almost impossible to make out what Axl is saying in the chorus - people like to sing along to big hits in the car and that chorus I just can’t see that happening.
People sing along to Eminem's "Rap God," I don't think this is beyond them.

Could be that they learned from past mistakes I guess. Been trying to figure out what makes this release different than the other 2. Absurd was unexpected & an odd choice for a 1st single. Maybe it was just to test the waters? I get why there wasn’t much promo behind that. But Hard School deserved more. Maybe they thought they didn’t need to put in the work? Found out it wasn’t that easy, so here we are. I guess that makes sense.
As for an album, I’d love one but I’m still not convinced. Once they release The General, we’ll have 1/3 of an album already. Even more if you include Eye on You, State of Grace, Atlas Shrugged, Oh My God? It’d be an odd approach at releasing an album a little at a time but maybe they feel this way they make money off the digital releases first & then a physical release at the end. Kind of like they did with the 1st two singles & these next two. I didn’t buy the last EP & don’t have a need for the upcoming LP, but I’ve bought each single individually & would certainly fork over the $15 for a new album if that time comes. As long as it comes in CD form. If it’s digital only, I’d just buy the songs I don’t already have. Still trying to figure out the new age of buying music and I’m sure they’re still learning how to release it.
Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
The song is now up to #9 on the iTunes chart. Oliver Anthony currently has 4 of the Top 8 songs. Take out of 3 of those songs, and GN'R would be sitting at #6 right now. Pretty damn good.
Back to #10 this morning, behind 5 Oliver Anthony songs who nobody heard of before a few weeks ago, Jason Aldean, Luke Combs rendition of “Fast Car”, & Taylor Swift. Not a bad showing at all. Tough to compete with the country and pop crowd.

Just imagine an LP like Lies:
Absurd
Hardskool
Perhaps
The General
Oklahoma
Soul Monster
Atlas
State of Grace
With some promotion they can gain again the public, just see how is It going with Perhaps which is not the best song they have in the vault
