How could anyone take this as disrespectful to fans? I mean, ugggh, this hyper crybaby stuff is embarrassing.
Good to know this is part of a larger rollout of an album, though.
Agreed, some fans are ridiculous.
I'm not counting my chickens on an album either. 1) It's Beta, not everything she says actually happens 2) It could be a misunderstandinf of what she meant.

.... Hard to ever know anything with this band but... did she just confirm a further release of something is coming?
On whose IG page did she says this? She's been trolling multiple IG pages over the past few days.
She was replying to someone who replied to one of her own posts.

It blows my mind how fast the news/media cycle rolls by now.
This is already being filed under old news.
Oh well...at least they did get a ton of press out of it.
It hits people's "Release Radar" playlists on Spotify this coming week.
But yeah, the news cycle is quick. GN'R don't help themselves with how little they actually say anything these days. The band officially haven't said a whole lot about the new song, why they're releasing it etc.
Maybe they're saving doing that as another day of press but I doubt it. Silence is still the way they operate.

Well, looks like it's a good show but nothing eventful on the cards. Thanks for keeping us up to date!
Hope they keep the good performance up for you

Let us know what he says before and after Absurd (if they play it), should be after Duff's cover

You are the eyes and ears Wags. No streams tonight it seems

Don't get me wrong, I like the song and I'm glad they finally put something out, but they surely can't expect it to be the next Paradise City or Jungle...
They should call the album Not In This Lifetime, cuz this being the first single with Duff and Slash back in the band is a bigger surprise than the reunion tour itself. It's literally the most absurd thing they could have done for a release..
Agreed, they went with this song for a reason and that reason wasn’t so it could be a #1 smash hit. Who knows what the actual reason is. Monkey laid out a few good options. Maybe they just like the aggressiveness of the song when they performed it? For the first time in a long time it seems as though there’s a plan. I would expect Hard School will be unveiled later on this tour. It could just be a coincidence, but they unveiled Absurd in Boston & announced the single in NY, two major cities. In this day and age I’m not sure how much that matters when everything finds its way to the internet anyway, but maybe the plan is to debut Hard School in another large city. The LA show is in a few weeks, so that might be too soon? Chicago next month?
It’s a fair point. No way they were debuting the song in Hershey. No offense.
Playing it at Hershey may have been in the plan and then canned because of audio tech issues they had during the show. Maybe also just wanted to use that gig as a warmup and play it safe. Definitely seems like midnight on Thursday was always the release plan though.

I'm no internet guru, but you only have people's attention for so long.
Yup. Even if not releasing anything more for a while, just saying "plan is for an album in 2022" helps keep the momentum going.
Reception is mixed but they have buzz. Got to keep it up.
