Perhaps - New Guns N' Roses Single - Discussion
AxlRoseCDII replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Wanted to make a poll but it won’t let me make a new thread. What’s your guys favorite song of the 3? Mine is Perhaps>Hard Skool>Absurd Absurd’s production is better than HS but I like HS more as a song. Absurd is still great though. Perhaps is a musical treat to me. Love it, but I’m also a CD nerd. -

I really just want The General because it’s basically all new to us. Yeah there’s the shitty cell phone clip and Evaders thing but to me I don’t get a good feel for the song at all. -

I like Atlas a lot for the record. But it just didn’t seem to resonate with anyone here, I’d say it’s more disliked than liked on average. I really would hope they fleshed it out since the Village leak, especially due to how grand everyone says it became over time. -

Judging by the fan reception to Atlas I don’t know if they would be chomping at the bit to redo it. It seems like no one really liked it here or at very most were underwhelmed by it. I’d say The General is more likely since we’ve seen it on setlists. -
Chinese Democracy+ (Custom Tracklist Thread)
AxlRoseCDII replied to GNR 1991's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I know it hasn’t been officially released but I would personally throw Going Down in there. The mix certainly isn’t grand but it’s basically a finished and polished song that would fit right in on CD. Sucks it was all but done but never got played live and will likely never see the light of day. -

One thing I really love about Perhaps is that I really think it has some of Axl’s best lyric work of the Chinese era. It’s the first song since the UYI era that really had lyrics that made me sit down and think about what they could mean, Axl’s state of mind, and despite listening to it for 4 years I still don’t fully know what it’s about. It’s not in the same way of TWAT, which feels kind of like a man just rambling, or TIL which is a soppy love song, but something really artistic and thought provoking. -

Because Finck’s was one of the best GNR solos of all time. -

I hope they took it down for a week to record a better Slash solo. All jokes aside, I'm super happy and excited. Glad to have been wrong about this coming out or not. Gonna listen to this on loop for days to come. -
The tour was meant to go on for another month or so but got cancelled due to covid. In that tour it was only a few months long so Hard Skool was roughly the intended 2/3rd point. However I think if they did another physical release they’ll want a second song so I won’t give up hope entirely. It could still happen just not holding my breath.
-
Yeah. I think for Hard Skool there was more hope because it was soundchecked in 2019 and 2020. The General has never been soundchecked (to our knowledge). Maybe that bizarre clip from last summer was it but I really doubt it. At a minimum, they could plan to release it anyways without a live performance when the physical CD comes out, and just put the song on the setlist to be safe. But I’m not holding my breath.

The “just live your life” people mean well but should know we are living our life. We’re not sitting around all day staring at the counter or unable to get out of bed or function. But by the same metric it’s extremely valid to care and I think it’s not fair to say you shouldn’t be anticipatory or focus on new music. GNR means a lot to all of us, and some us fixate and focus on our hobbies in life, in general, more than others.

If we hadn’t heard about the Linkfire thing we would’ve found out about the TouchTunes release. Not to mention multiple band members and a tour manager teasing a new song for years, them rehearsing it for months while refusing to play it, radio station hosts saying the song should’ve already been out, etc. The whole industry knows about this damn song, linkfire or not. Yet this band doesn’t capitalize on any excitement and is releasing it, if at all, near the end of a tour when no one cares.
