I'm disappointed Perhaps wasn't debuted, but not surprised. Craig and your comments entertained me, though. 😂 Goodnight everybody.

Wow. It's insane how much the tickets drop in price the day of the show. I've heard of that strategy before, but never actually looked in to it. I should probably start doing that...

It seems like some fans are absolutely convinced that Axl recorded new vocals. I could totally see this just being different vocal takes from back in the day.

Let me tell you about my weekend.

I only visit these forums when the band is touring, as those are the only times I anticipate news about any potential new music. I’m pretty pessimistic about this band. As a result, I’ve been on this board more frequently and have been contributing to the conversations more often than usual.

My girlfriend is a bit younger than me, in her late 20s. Like most younger people, she doesn’t give a fuck about Guns N’ Roses. She hardly knows who they are. She knows Sweet Child O’ Mine from Guitar Hero but wouldn’t be able to tell you who sang it before she met me.

She gets annoyed when we’re watching something on TV together and she looks over and I’m typing away at my phone, debating some internet stranger over the merits of an unreleased song by a band that hasn’t been relevant since around the time she was born.

Her: What are you debating anyway?

Me: (explains a brief history of the band, their place in rock history, the Chinese Democracy saga, the reunion, and all the mishaps in between).

Her: So you’re arguing with people over whether or not a band is going to release a song, a song that you’re excited about but *don’t even like*?!

Her tone cut me down to size immediately. I felt silly and stupid. I spend so much time here typing these silly little posts, all for a band that’s not going to release anything this weekend anyway.

So I put my phone down on Friday night and didn’t touch it again until just now. And apparently Perhaps has been available at local weekends on TouchTunes jukeboxes.

I live in O’Donnell Square in Baltimore. I am quite literally surrounded by bars. There are 10 bars within 30 yards of my house in any direction. Most of them have TouchTunes.

I’m now in flip flops and basketball shorts walking to a local bar to order a beer and see if this song actually sucks, or if perhaps I was wrong.

Also - I think this is the first time I’m realizing that many of you aren’t in the US?

Is this a UK-heavy GnR forum? I was surprised how many of you have no idea what TouchTunes is. They’re all over the US.

Jesus Christ.

Flip flops? Really?

Slash has definitely lost his way with the guitar. I haven’t been impressed with much of his work recently. I think the Hard Skool solo was decent. His last few albums, along with the Perhaps solo, have shown a steep decline from the legendary guitarist who once was.

I wouldn't go this far, but I understand where you're coming from. It's so strange to me. What has happened to him?

Something else that I haven't seen anyone say but thought about is it kind of sounded like maybe some autotune vocal effects were used now. I could be completely wrong, though. It is just the jukebox clip quality that I'm basing this off of.

Yeah, I uploaded it literal moments before the leak happened. 😂

It’s not worth it listening to the bar recording, so much background noise. Just wait for the release.

That's how I felt at first, but the hype got me too excited. It was worth it.

Looks like it's in the UMG system, just not public yet ofc. 

Post to Twitter or something. 😂

My heart is literally pounding. 🤣

I kind of like the cover art even though I don't know what it is exactly. 😂 I was wondering if it was like looking down the barrel of a gun or maybe looking down a microscope.

I really don't want the first time of me hearing it off a shitty phone recording of it playing at a bar. 😂

I saw so many commercials for Applebee's during the NASCAR race today. It was a sign...

just look at some 2016 footages.. he looked way fatter. He is in shape now

Fo sho about 2016. The first thing that comes to my mind is him playing in AC/DC wearing the bandana, flannel and in the boot. It's shocking to go back and see what he looked like. He sounded great, though. I wonder how he would've sounded if he was in shape... 👀

I really hate to be negative, but this picture looks weird as fuck to me. He has gone sleeveless recently, though, right? I feel like I've seen him wear a lighter colored sleeveless shirt like the one he used to wear around 2006.

Flew from Poland just because they started playing TWAT / LOCO / Prostitute. Got SOD / TIL / COMA same like Warsaw last year. That counts as a huge bad luck.

I feel like this is what's going to happen with me in Hollywood, Florida later this year. 😅

They were on at Glastonbury and before they played it said "this one was covered by Guns N Roses". Pause. No-one cheered and they just went into it. 

 

That's awkward. 😂
