Heard it a few times and didn't think much of it. At all. I like it overall, but think that it is more of a cool idea than it is something that is a great song. Like with a bit of re-arranging and reworking I could see it being a solid tune but to me it just doesn't quite reach its potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard it a few times and didn't think much of it. At all. To me it's almost a killer song. But the chorus melody is very blah. For that reason - I don't think it would have been a good single.

CAFC Nick Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 This is probably the one song I've listened to most in the last 18 months since it leaked by any artist. Love the song, even it is isn't perfect, probably because I'm a huge Axl fan and desperate to hear his music. If it were a SMKC song, I'd definitely like it but probably not to the same level! Also think I may be in the minority here but I prefer the Josh drums - simpler, cleaner and serves the song better IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. the version I heard sounds like an electronic turd that would be better flushed away than to let sit around. maybe there's a better version out there that actually is good, but I haven't heard it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Atlas, Perhaps & Hard School are all top tier rock songs. They don't reinvent the genre, but they don't need to. Any one of them would have elevated the 2008 album. If the spirit ever moves Axl to release music publicly again, I'd love to see Slash and Duff take HS for a spin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJRemastered98 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 My favorite from the leaks alongside Perhaps. Imo the best version is from Remix CD #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Song is bland, tedious garbage. The only CD track this could have replaced is IRS, which I barely consider music, just a bunch of guitar noise with an Axl rant plastered on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19AT5 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Just tried listening to it again... I'll admit the guitar solo in the middle is quite cool, but the rest is just too bloody happy for my liking! State of Grace however is actually no bad. I quite like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a mess, such stellar instrumental performances wasted, only to be replaced by sub-par performances, but that remains to be seen. Hopefully they knock it out of the park. I'm still hopeful they keep some of the original (or best) work intact from the CD-era members and have Slash do a solo here and there like what Bumblefoot did when he fucked up worked on 2008's CD. In Ron's defense, some of his stuff was good. If they keep some (or most, please God be most) of Brain's drums, and some of the best Bucket and Robin work, I'll be one smiling motherfucker when I listen to CD2 with Slash, Duff, Frank, and Melissa on it. Don't forget Pitman's sub-bass and Tobias's original demo guitar tracks from 1990's! I'd also keep Stinson's bass tracks and just double track with Duff! No offence meant of course, but what you described there is just... absolutely awful, in my opinion. It didn't really work the first time, so I doubt a second crack at the whip using the same approach would make things any better. It also stinks of a lack of creativity. This is a band that tours the world, charges you a fortune to come listen, has three original members in it, but can't put an album together without using tracks recorded by members who left the band almost 20 years ago? Must soon be that time of the week for somebody to cry out for a double, triple, quadruple or quintuple album?!!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubanSkies Dummy Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 For me, it sounds like a crossover between David Bowie and Pink Floyd in the 70's and "November Rain". Something like that, you know. It seems so awesome as fuck. I would like to add a little guitar overdub here, using Audacity and see if I can squeeze it to the playlist. I'm sure it can be done in the future. I can't make an additional playlist for just only one track, right? Interesting song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting song. this is a weird copy of Bumblefoots quote about the song, adding a solo and trying to get in on the album and saying it'd be a waste to have it on its own disc as it didnt fit. This is just bizarre. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneway23 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The intro has some odd amalgamation of Brownstone & Jane's Addiction going on. Overall, a pretty cool tune with a solo by May that elevates it to maybe just above average, but, the song as we have it right now never really fulfills its promise, imo, never mind living up to the over-blown hype it got before it leaked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 One of my favourites from the leaks. Really love those massive sounding drums on the drums up version. No doubt when it's released it will sound like Frank has pillows in front of his drums. 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 1 hour ago, oneway23 said: Somewhat relevant aside, May plays on Perhaps as well, yes? No... Brian May said he played on 3 songs, and Tommy confirmed a while ago that Rhiad was the third song. He does solos on Atlas and Catcher, and probably just some rhythm stuff on Rhiad (I have no idea if that version of Rhiad was in the locker leaks tbh). IMO, the solo on Perhaps sounds a lot closer to Robin's playing on The Blues than it does to May's playing on Catcher/Atlas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneway23 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thanks for the answers, folks..much appreciated. Wild about Rhiad, hadn't heard that story, and, frankly not one of the songs I would have assumed him to have played on. Appreciate Robin even more now. Best part of the song, IMO.

kozydogg Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The first 1:00 minute of this song is excellent. Vintage Axl lyrics, melody, and vocals. The rest of the song....no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl666 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If you were to play riads melody on a piano would it sound good? I can never figure out if there is even a melody there or if its just one or two notes sung aggressively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
