I haven't see Oklahoma on a setlist pic.
From my understanding a guitar tech or something to that effect told someone Silkworms was Oklahoma, thus starting the rumor.
But I could be wrong on this and am happy to be corrected.
Do some people just hate these songs and pray that they're nowhere near an upcoming album?
You're also forgetting The Iron Rule of Axl: Any song inspired by one of Axl's exes sure as hell hasn't been dropped.

these sound great! duff is really into absurd, kickass to see.
his background vocals add a lot.
sort of wish i went to the concert, but this footage makes up for it. i would have hated myself if they played hard school, but silkworms ain't enough to get me out to the same show 3 times over.
You coulda met the Wags.
You missed out my friend.
Duff / Tommy's covers have been piss breaks and nothing more but Duff's Stooges cover was actually damn cool. Hope that gets posted.

In today's world..... surprise releases are a viral sensation. The problem with that is if you're not willing to follow through with a blitz....it dies on the vine.
You're not wrong but I'm not convinced it's the right move for Gn'R.
First these acts also go on SNL, have product tie-ins, go on late night shows, perform highly publicized events and so on. So maybe Gn'R does some of this and reaps the rewards. But it'd be a big sea change from the last 5 years not to mention the New Gn'R era.
And second, Gn'R is a landline telephone band in the digital age. Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and the like are the millennial internet generation. I'd even wager the average Metallica fan is more internet savvy than your average Gn'R fan.
I just want to be clobbered over the head with singles....and toss in a couple b sides.
Yeah, this would just be great. Even if it's just a "deluxe version", I really hope they sweeten the pot somewhere down the line.

I'd love a surprise release.
Everyone wakes up one day and boom....
There's a new GNR album to listen to.
The "surprise release" thing is only good insofar as it suppresses unrealistic expectations ala CD.
But you want the attention and good press.
September - Hard School
October - Perhaps
October - Album release announcement
November - Oklahoma / broad appeal lead single
November - Album release

It's not the biggest deal but I have the "can't logout" bug on Brave browser on desktop.

Whoops wrong thread. Absurd!

Dale I agree with the logic, it’d make the US crowd motivated to see them next year but looks like the AU dates are on the verge of being cancelled.
HGH I think it could definitely be a CA or LA bonus for the hometown crowd, could see that.

FWIW my "friend" is RussTCB, I dunno why I didn't just say so but I want to give proper credit.
