That's just magic. Axl singing "Save me" underneath the chorus gets me every time. Such a good song, and honestly songs like something right off the Illusions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alejandro GNR Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I just love his hey heys hahaha I love his natural voice, its just beatiful... I also love the second “what a weight upon your shoulders” with that radio effect similar to Estrangeds “i dont know how you were to find me etc” LOVE IT. It only needs an inspired UYI Slash solo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song is just too long and repetitive lyrically. It can be expanded upon for sure. I'm convinced if we get a new "Hardschool," it will be even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 First single has to be an up-tempo rocker. Second single can be a ballad. We've discussed this to death in leak threads and so forth. But if all we have to go on are the leaks, then for me it's gotta be "Hardschool" first, then follow it with "Perhaps." I love "Atlas," but "Perhaps" is a next-level type of song. The piano, the vicious chorus. The "hey heeeeeys." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hardschool would be fine as first single, especially if Slash revamps the intro, maybe picks it up a bit ala YCBM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Any of the leaked songs would be good for a single release in my opinion, but they’d really have to change or re record the instruments, as I’m sure they would. The songs are great but definitely are full of the late 90’s sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly the closest I've felt we've been to new music since 2008, so you're not alone there. They've made vague "we hope" comments in some form every year since 2010, but this is the first time we were given some kind of timeframe by management. Though I do wonder if @Fernando realizes what he said, or that his casual announcement on Reddit has spread like wildfire. I would hope that if things have changed he would update us, but I don't see him being bothered to care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) I truly thought a new record would materialize around 2013/2014 but I was clearly wrong. I remember there were rumblings from "insiders" that something was planned. But then that had to have been bullshit considering Bumblefoot has stated he never recorded new music with the band, right? Once Duff joined the group for some gigs, I bet the idea of Slash's return became more real. And at that point, no one is gonna green-light a record featuring Ashba and Bumblefoot if there's money to be made with Slash and Duff officially returning to the fold. I can say confidently now in 2020, thank god Ashba never made it on a Guns N' Roses album. It's bad enough Bumblefoot was on Chinese Democracy, but at least Bucket and/or Finck weren't replaced entirely.

I keep seeing people saying that it'll be a great single but I don't think so. It sounds like an old song and would just not be good to release nowadays imo.

These days Slash doesnt show skills nor emotion or creativity. But Id still take him anyday over BBF cause he did great in the past, Slash was one of the guys that made me get into guitar. I wonder if BBF inspired anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblefoot is technically skilled, but he's never written anything I enjoy (same with Ashba). Obviously that's personal taste. But here's an inarguable fact: In regard to marketability, clearly Slash with Axl is gonna move the needle. So I stand by what I said. When Slash's return became a realistic possibility, no one in their right mind would green-light a Guns N' Roses record featuring Bumblefoot and Ashba. Perhaps some of Axl's lack of desire to out out a new record with the Ashba/Bumblefoot lineup was that he didn't really care for their songwriting and didn't want to use anything they may have brought in for the band. The prolific creative output in the Chinese years came with Dizzy/Stinson/Finck/Fortus/Buckethead/Axl/Tobias, right? As far as we know.

The verses are what make that song (the first especially. I think the lyrics could be better on the second). I like the way Axl sings on the chorus, but I don't like the melody or the lyrics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlvai Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Really hoping new stuff. New like new shit. Not like the Axls vault from 2000's chinese leftovers or thngs like that. GnR needs the 3 guys makin magic again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cling to the thought that Axl might get inspired by what Slash is capable of when he's inspired and also maybe Slash will want to step up his game and really go for it cause it's a Guns album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axljungle Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 For me first single is Hardschool or something like this. Second single I would like "State of grace", but perhaps we'll have something new from the three gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
