Yeah...they know damn good and well it's not coming out.
I'm not even bothering with ordering it. What would be the point?
So that we may ensure your FULL order remains active.
This isn't about keeping orders for The General...it's about keeping the orders for merch bought along with The General.
Yeah...it's over.
Yup got the same email. Got my refund.
Yeah there's really no point in keeping the order. It's just delaying the inevitable return of your money.

They also delayed the Perhaps 8 ball.
None of this crap has been produced yet. They just can't be bothered with such nonsense. The factory that makes the shirts, toys, and candles probably couldn't do the 8 ball for whatever reason.
I just realized this delay is almost the same amount of time we've already been waiting for it.

GNR post on social media about a show last month.
They don't give the tiniest of shits about this.
The fucker hasn't even been pressed...if they could ship out that new GH vinyl release a couple weeks ago, they could've shipped this.
Bait and switch again. Dangle the future, sell the past.
Now Fortus doesn't have to pretend they might play it on this tour.

I think I still have an ROV t-shirt lol
I have the ROV coffee cup somewhere.

The bit they inserted about the orders being automatically cancelled unless you confirm you don't want it to be says it all.
I didn't even see that.
Yeah...it's not coming out.
I'm no longer expecting it.
If it doesn't leak... we're not getting it.
I just checked mygnr. They are in full meltdown mode. A bunch of people canceling orders.
Not surprising really. Management could've cleared this up with a brief statement but they care about their hardcore fans as much as they care about this song.

There was more excitement than when CD actually dropped.
There was almost zero excitement for CD.
The very definition of anticlimactic.
Only 3 songs to look forward to...even those leaked right before release...and the fact the band didn't even acknowledge the damn thing made it all so pointless.
The track list also provided no legitimate closure although some people did move on.
Hard to believe it's 2023 and those other songs expected at the time (other than Silkworms) still haven't been released/leaked.
It’s a shame we didn’t get the locker leaks back then.
It really is.
Had the Locker leaks happened 2004-6, it would've changed the dynamics of the forums completely.
99% of the negativity revolved around how much material did they really have, was it mainly just instrumentals, etc. All this negativity gets washed away by discs 1-4.
The GNR camp would've instantly had the majority of the forums on their side, excited for the album, and the handful only there to argue about Slash or old vs new would've probably walked away due to no one caring about that anymore.
It also would've brought a lot of positive media exposure.
They really should've considered it instead of just a handful of people having the songs.

mrsaxlrose drama in rov chat *shudders*
Holy shit.
Yeah that was really bad. I always liked her but yeah...that was getting out of control. That racial crap which was about 15 years ahead of its time...and then that other drama on the forums/PMs.
Looking back it's hard to believe that stuff with her on ROV only lasted like 2-3 months. I knew her before that of course...she was luvsAxl4ever at mygnr.
#319 Re: Guns N' Roses » Post UR top 2 Favorite Gnr forum moments » 87 weeks ago
Not exactly a moment but was a big fan of the RoV chatroom.
That thing was a bitch to moderate when there was around 20-40 people in the room on weekends. I really hated when there would be multiple spats going on... then I'm having to referee both chat room and PMs.

1.The 2006 leaks, all the insanity surrounding it, which led to the birth of ROV. For any new(er) members here, ROV (Roses of Velvet) was Evo before Evo.
Just an insane, exciting time for the fan base. It'll never be topped.
2. 2005 in general. Other than the April Fool's IRS Leak, it was a dead year GNR wise yet the quality of forum discussions were at their peak. So were all the forums off topic sections.
I say it periodically but the 2004-5 community really deserved a major leak. Looking back, bat shit crazy that all those amazing discussions involving the likes of Evagnraxlrosette, davegnfnr2k, Booker Floyd, ppbebe, Saul, KV, mikegiuliana, etc and various Evo members there at the time never actually involved discussing newly released/leaked songs.
Honorable mentions...
- EFISH (RIP) posting that picture of himself in 2006 riding his bike in front of his house and how a bunch of people on HTGTH/2K went into anaphylactic shock when they realized he was just a kid. I laughed for days over that. Still laugh when I think about it once in a blue moon.
- That mygnr member posting that obvious bullshit story after Better leaked saying he played it at his high school and all the kids started dancing down the hallways.
- That time I got banned from Splat in summer 2006 for owning ChineseBlues into oblivion. He couldn't deal with it so he begged someone on staff (The Raven? Gigger?) to ban me.
God I hated that fucking guy. I would've dragged him out to a canal bank and kicked his teeth in if I ever could've met him. Closest we came was when he said he was going to Inland Invasion, told him I'd meet him there, he backed out of going or just never mentioned it again, and I decided to just wait for the Sacramento show instead.
Looking back...our feud was so pointless. Much ado about nothing. We should've just buried the hatchet like I did with his buddy rainX. Might could have even gotten along.
