This is crazy...that's an added 30 vinyl editions for fans to buy on top of the assortment already available.

They must really want a final #1 album bad.

More views, released later, more effort put into and still a new single before Gn'R.

Also new single has a unique cover again.

They're 2 for 2.

This is shaping up to be a good album.

That song is getting rave reviews everywhere. I've seen people claim it's their best song since 1972. I wouldn't go that far...but it's probably going to be a highlight of the album.

I've only listened to it twice. I'm gonna wait for the album. I want to properly experience the album in full. You don't get to do that in today's world anymore.

Two more songs had leaked this week but I'm avoiding them. I didn't even look. Once I saw it mentioned in that Hoffman thread I backed out of the thread.

It's not even the best song since 2017!

These two singles are not boding well for the album. I very much doubt there is something better being held back. It shows that they are missing their entire rhythm section. Wyman was bad enough and now Watts too. Creatively it seems time to just hang it up.

I'll wait for the whole thing though.

Great song. Impressed by this one. Angry was just filler.

Mick's bringing his A game. That last line is amazing.

This album is amazing and maybe the best since Some Girls. I don’t count Tattoo You because that was written over many many years and was like a collection of songs vs an album. It is on par for sure with Steel Wheels and Voodoo Lounge and better than Bigger Bang or Bridges to Babylon.
