Just like the other drip feeds, they can't even get a hefty portion of their own subscribers to click on their videos.

GNR have 13.1 million YouTube subscribers

Atlas: 649k views

Nothin' 827k views

About 10-15 of those views are me.

They are an anomaly. Most major acts get more views than subscribers.

While it's nice to get 1-2 songs every other blue moon, this approach doesn't work on any level. For various reasons, it's impossible to get any traction under these circumstances. It would require a highly unlikely incident where one of the songs go viral.

The band doesn't comment no matter what and the fan base tires of the new song(s) within days. With a non interested general public, where can the songs realistically go but down?

They're already disappearing from the Spotify charts.

But Team Brazil and Axl had brilliant marketing plan !

Delay the songs while they're touring and release them 5 months before their next tour date !

Also make sure you use the shit mix job from a guy (Caram) who’s been gone from the band's employment for 2 years !

Ha! It really makes little sense. Release singles in between touring cycles to help sell tickets for the next tour? Are they selling more tickets now because of these two songs? We’ll obviously take what we can get, but it’s puzzling.

And I’m assuming Team Brazil was behind the drone show to promote tickets going on sale for the tour. I’ve also heard there are billboards promoting the two songs in LA. So it’s like they do show signs of life but do nothing with the band to back it up. It’s silent marketing. It would almost make more sense if they did nothing because we know they’re not going all in.

They came out with a music video that no one expected for Perhaps. That was awesome. Then they came out with that AI video for The General. That was, something. They even had lyric videos for other songs. Nothing for these latest songs though? Meanwhile Monsters sits collecting dust. None of it makes much sense to me.
