They have to be dealing with labor and part shortages like everybody else.

Okay, who started the rumor there was going to be another toilet paper shortage?

I'm not sure....to me it just seems like this is to long to wait to release the EP.Why not strike while the iron is hot? Hard Skool is awesome and everyone I have played it for loves it. Waiting 5 months would kill momentum, no?

You are quoting the answer to your own question.  Labor shortages, supply chain issues, it affects everyone, not just Costco and supermarkets.

So you have the song to listen to as much as you want on streaming services.

Then, if you're a collector or just want a physical release, you can get it on tape, CD or vinyl.


Not exciting enough? Just enjoy the song.

i agree some people will never be happy they wanting a new album and they got one coming out feb 25 and they are still not happy

[DeN]

OK I'm a bit confused here, maybe I'm the only one so I have some questions. is this
new EP *is* the new GNR record? (meaning, no LP).

and if no, since it will be out in february, does it means that a future LP will be out
(months) *after* february 2022? thanks to anyone who could clarifying that to me.

[jarmo]

I think the EP is an EP with the two songs they have released so far plus some bonus tracks.

How does that relate to any future releases? No idea.


Some people were asking for new music, and they got it....

No, this is not replacing the LP, and yes, of course if it will take until February to get the needed raw materials due to shortages, there is no way an LP could come out before then. If they could announce, produce, promote and distribute an LP before February, why would the EP take that long?

IDK...It seems to me that this delay between the single's digital release and vinyl release is associated with a problem in vinyl production. This problem has affected the music industry and is delaying releases. The plastics industry, also used in the production of CDs and cassettes, has also suffered from the effects of the pandemic...

“Release dates going back and back. Box sets getting postponed by a year. Physical albums arriving months after their digital release. Rumours of pressing plant meltdowns… COVID-19 was bound to have an effect on the release of albums. But the pandemic has brought home a crisis in the music industry, and that is, quite simply, the fact that there aren’t enough pressing plants to cope with the demand for vinyl.“...

Wow, so much momentum and opportunity to knock it out of the park with this EP and what a big shit turd. Don’t Cry and Your Crazy?  Other than us who were around in the 80s and 90s, who cares?  Put two more new ones out, don’t even think about putting out 30 yr old songs or shit covers.  Damnit, right when I think things have changed.  Dud.

Seriously? It's basically a single with bonus tracks. November Rain, Don't Cry, Yesterdays all had similar releases.

Some people will never be satisfied

 who cares? 

30 year old shit

Dud.

Don't be so hard on yourself, brother.

I like Hard Skool and Absurd and I’m glad to hear them. But this announcement confirms there was never a new album in the works and probably won’t be.

Why can't an EP be a precursor to an LP? I've been a skeptic about the prospects of a new album but I see this release as a good sign.
