Kosonen Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Just when I took a break from this forum, now there are some leaks then? What where why how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 I played Atlas on the stereo while driving and it certainly gives a different perspective than listening with headphones. It’s a great driving song, and I can see it being a radio hit with more work done on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettytiedup88 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 All over the place this song. I get what he was trying to do but I dont think its working it its current state. I don't especially like Catcher and therefore can't warm to this either. Prefer Hard School. I really hope if the band do make some new music, this Atlas/Catcher style of cleaner singing is ditched. Lacks the punch that makes Axl such an iconic signer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get In the Ring Motherfker Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Just to clarify:Does Brian May play guitar on this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some early media reports say yes. The guitar in the track is also unmistakable. It just sounds like May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave94 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The first version I heard was slightly bland and boring, second version I heard seemed a bit beefed up on the drums which ties in with some of the comments that there are a couple of different versions floating around. The heavier drums was more interesting IMO although clearly missing the final guitar parts so I imagine the end version would sound a bit different. It makes sense based on the title that it would be paired with Catcher and have a similar sound and style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU-YORK Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Great potential song in there if mixed and produced properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansidhe Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Really love the 2nd verse when the additional guitars kick in and the drums really groove. Can you imagine Sorum on this...

DelusionalIllusions Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Cool track....reaches for similar airspace as The Blues, & Estranged. Definitely can see a Bowie/Elton/Glitter Rock influence on this track. Has potential with the right final mix but seems to be lacking somehow. Was in a way similar to what I'd expected with this track. Hard School>Atlas without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Louder drums version just leaked, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLotus1111 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Yeah the drum up version did leak and it's an improvement. It's out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Has any version leaked in full that had the additional guitar/synth parts from the 1:17 phone recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was wondering! Right before the cellphone clip cuts out, I swear I heard a lil guitar riff that sounded quite nice in that part of the song behind Axls vocals. Good catch with the synth, too. I didn't notice it. Headphones make it much more enjoyable and easier to spot the difference's. This drums up version is quite good! I didn't even really care for the song at first, either. It really does grow on ya. Particularly When Axl jumps into second part of the song at the 1:41 mark there is a pretty kick ass/kinda pretty synth thing going on that I really dig, and sounds wonderful as Axls singing the line "To be half as strong, to still belong". Man. What a difference this version and a few additional listens can make. So it doesn't really sound as we, or at least I expected it to. But I say that's a good thing. We can't expect art to work around our expectations. Atlas drums up = 9 outta 10 for me. Edited September 10, 2019 by Estrangedfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Song really does grow on you. It doesn't have immediacy of Hardschool but that doesn't make it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaanzer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Drums up version really sounds much clearer. Vocals seem to be more crisp too, as well as the guitars. A bit like the differences between the initial HS leak & the second version that leaked together with the CD batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stro Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Is this the actual drums up version or the fanmade one from a few days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

default_ Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 No ones saying anything anywhere so its probably just the fanmade version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azifwekare Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Drums up is real and leaked before the weekend. Drums down is an imsorry mix. The mix from the CDs hasn't leaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
