  1. After a bit over a week, I think this is a pretty solid song release. As a song, it’s a little bare with the parts and lyrics, but it works. Axl seems to like the verse-chorus- bridge/solo- verse- chorus arrangement which is a bit unconventional. They do it on You’re Crazy, Yesterday’s, and Sorry, too. It’s hard to judge because we’ve only gotten 18 original songs in like 30 years, so it’s easy to want everything to be incredible. Without that lens, this is a fun tune. Some cool melodies, a great Axl- chorus, catchy piano, and some Slash and Duff to add the classic- GNR sound. It doesnt overstay its welcome, and even though the lyrics repeat, there are some flourishes with the guitars, piano, and drums that keep the last bit interesting. Song sounds great the more I listen to it. I for sure like the final Absurd and HS versions more than the demos, but I like different things about Perhaps’ two versions. Chorus sounds heavier on the original, and I like a lot of Robins playing. Mix is better on the final and it’s bluesier. Sounds more like a GnR song whereas the original sounded like an early 2000s song (which it was) with Robin’s guitar tone and style. Final is actually less in-your-face with the guitars (aside from the solo), but there are still a lot of cool things going on quietly in the mix to bring it out. Slash s was relatively reserved on this one whereas he was all over Hard Skool and Absurd with lead guitar. Suits the song. Glad to have both and I do really dig how it turned out.
  2. I feel like they did take some extra steps to help him this tour. The backing vocals are utilized a lot more and they added songs that are easier to sing like PTU and BO. Vocals sounded good in person at the Fenway gig. It’s more than acceptable for a live show. The dude is 60
  3. We don’t know the entire story. In a perfect world, they would have all had fair- equitable shares in the reunion money for the 2016 shows and they could have had Steven (more consistently) and Izzy on stage. No one could have predicted how successful and professional the reunion would have been at the time. We are in year 8 of the reunion and there’s been essentially no drama. They’ve raked in the dough and reclaimed the GNR name Maybe they wanted more money, maybe they didn’t believe Izzy and Steve were reliable for this, who knows? I don’t think having either would have been that much of a risk. They wouldn’t have had to dump Fortus and Frank. Plenty of big bands have an ensemble of session guys. You think Keith Richards is doing the heavy lifting at a Stones gig? Think again
  4. Royal blood Rolling Stones The General
  5. Sabbath rocks. I only got to see them once, but I’m glad I did
  6. If I wasn’t camping I’d try and go. I enjoyed the Boston show that much
  7. Luckily there’s still PTU, BO, AG and Perhaps to consistently shake it up. I think Hard Skool and RL were rare last USA tour, too
  8. I dig it actually lol. Much better than the hideous Boston one I passed on That’s a good point. Both 2016 ones were Mafia themed (I have the second one). The MJ one was super cool. If I went to that show or was from Chicago I would have def gotten one
  9. It was sad as fuck when Homan passed. He was excited for the reunion
  10. Fuck dude, that’s actually awful. Anyone that posted here?
  11. I’m a Detroiter and I can say if you can make the show tomorrow in Chicago, do it! This tour is great
  12. Slash killed CD and TiL this show I think he does great on a lot of CD songs, and okay on others
  13. Hopefully he prepares for The General. Based on the leak, it’s pretty vocally demanding
  14. The emails are at least semi true since he had then-unknown titles. It’s possible he had the Village sessions and made up the rest. As annoying as MSL could be, I would bet these were all real. Right at that time he became a TB and Axl apologist to the nth degree and started appeasing Warchild. Probably indicates a payoff
