The one i told you guys about back in may ?
Also to clear the air.
My sources were wrong on the June 6th release date of Atlas and Nothing.
I went into detail and apologized for being wrong on badapplesforum i can link the the post or copy them to here if you gentleman would like.I was not trying to mislead anyone.
@sp1at if you're the same guy who used to run sp1at.com ? I imagine you would understand this more then anyone ?
I do find it coincidental that umg was expecting Chinese Democracy in 1999 but we got the orginal release of live era instead, Then again umg was expecting Chinese Democracy in 2004 but we got greatest hits instead. Now i was told umg was expecting a release from gnr on June 6th 2025 but we got a reissue/remaster of live era instead.
Notice a pattern ?Also why would Axl be talking about a marketing plan at the may 5th Japan gnr show on the iem recording for the new songs if they weren't ready for release ?
I am, and I believe you, don't worry
Guns are one of the most frustrating bands in the world for information.
But it's good to see new songs and another tour

Finally some new stuff. Which one of the leaks was “Nothin” again?
Or is that a totally new and unheard song?
Nothin was "Nothing" on rough mixes #4 of the Village sessions.
Re: New Album thread 2025 by sp1at
I’ll never pass up new songs but what the hell kind of timing is this release? Taking advantage of the Holiday music buying crowd? Simply to go along with the tour announcement and tickets going on sale? Doesn’t it make more sense to release songs closer to the start of the tour? Ultimately it doesn’t matter because the songs will come out and the band/mainly Axl won’t do anything with them. Unless things are different now? Nah, can’t be.

It’s called “most mismanaged band in the entire world with an equally erratic frontman” syndrome.
Nothing this band does makes sense.

I'm looking forward to Axl's biography coming out where he will present a detailed and rationale explanation for all of the bewildering questions we've had over the last years. It will all make sense, and we can go to our graves peacefully.

They haven't had proper management in eons. The brief period they had real management is when we got Chinese Democracy. TB took over after that. The only thing that runs competently is the touring machine and Live Nation does the heavy lifting there.
Everything but touring is just TB pretending like they know what they're doing and the big 3 indulging it because album and merch sales are a tiny percentage of their profits.
If this was the 90s when album sales were the bulk of your profits, they would've been immediately fired or GNR would've quickly been run into the ground.

It's beyond coincidence....it was a strategy.
Bait and switch.
They've been doing it since day one of the saga....and continue to do it.
One of the worst was the 2006 Harley Davidson ad. Fan base going ape shit when we heard Better would be launched....they wind up using PC instead.
"See ya next summer with a bunch of new songs!"....
Nope... but you almost get AFD in its entirety.
It always winds up going back to AFD. ALWAYS.
It's a fucking miracle we ever got anything at all.
He wound up being another David Gilmour....he wanted the band name and everything that comes with it for himself but didn't have the drive or motivation to really pull it off.
Also why would Axl be talking about a marketing plan at the may 5th Japan gnr show on the iem recording for the new songs if they weren't ready for release ?
There is no marketing plan....there will never be a marketing plan.
These songs have been sitting there for years. We're still waiting on songs Slash talked about working on back in what....2018 or 19?
