Guns N’ Roses Song ’Perhaps’ Leaks & It’s Weird...

So it looks like the highly anticipated Guns N’ Roses song Perhaps which was scheduled to come out on Friday has leaked, but it’s kind of odd what happened. If you guys remember there were multiple news sites reporting the song was due out August 11th. There was news and even a recording of the band rehearsing it on this leg of the not in this life time tour and then you had a website setup for the song as well. August 11th came and nothing happened and the band didn’t play the song the same night at their show in Hershey, Pennsylvania. But it appears the song has leaked. Blabbermouth would publish a story this morning that read A number of GN’R fans have reported that the shelved “Chinese Democracy“-era song which was originally expected to be officially released this past Friday (August 11) populated on TouchTunes machines at bars and other locations across the United States. As the fans showed up at their favorite watering hole and went to play a GN’R song, they noticed the new selection in their catalog. The track came with what is apparently the official single cover art, and was attributed to Geffen Records, which is the band’s longtime record label home owned by Universal Music Group. One poster on the mygnrforums would write about whether the song appearing on touchtunes was a mistake writing There’s so many moving parts with uploading songs to these servers/distributors and getting ready for a release on multiple platforms. Sometimes things just slip by. Especially if it’s a last min decision to delay things This is not the first time that there have been reports of songs prematurely appearing on TouchTunes. In April, fans of the American country band TURNPIKE TROUBADOURS were surprised to see a previously unreleased track called “Mean Old Sun“ on the entertainment platform with 65,000 connected jukeboxes. So apparently people can look up online to see which bars around them have Touchtunes so you can go listen to the song. The first indications of a new song or music coming was dropped by Guns N’ Roses production manager Tom Mayhue who told an interviewer recently Regarding what the new GUNS N’ ROSES material sounds like, Mayhue said: “It sounds great. It’s a lot more kind of ’Appetite [For Destruction]’-orientated. They had a lot of songs. When the band went in originally and recorded ’Appetite For Destruction’, I think they recorded, like, 29 songs. So there’s a bunch of other music that was left over that didn’t make the first record. I think there’s only 11 songs on the first record.“
