    They’re all like 12 year old girls 😂

    My thought exactly. Of course GN’R’s current “Photographers” “Videographers” would unfollow their former photographer. I can only imagine the animosity & jealousy. The cat fighting that goes on over pictures and who got credited, who didn’t

    "Duff's spineless" anyone else remember that? I'm sure he's a lovely guy, but when it comes down to business if you're on the wrong side of his dollar, then you're losing.

    Damn right. I also think that even if they wrote a song about getting drunk and crashing cars again with a blues-inspired hard rock riff, people would just say it's a "worse" Nightrain or It's So Easy.

    They could easily bring Matt Sorum back and do Velvet Revolver 2.0 featuring Axl Rose and it would be more successful. Bang out a brand new record in 8months

    It should be a major criticism.

    Axl & Slash haven't released original material together in 30 years and so far we have gotten a dribbling of filler level songs that are essentially discarded b-sides.

    I weep at the way they have soiled what should have been a monumental moment when true "New" GNR material was heard by the world for the first time in 30 years.

    They should have released nothing until they were ready to release a real single. Something that sounds like the GNR the world wants to hear. 

    I think about when there was the question of how they would follow up Appetite and show the world they were anything but one album wonders and You Could be Mine properly kicked the world's ass and cast aside any doubt.

    With each bit of follow up filler they are releasing they are diluting the brand in the event they actually do want to release proper music at some point. When so much time had passed releasing filler one after another doesn't send the kind of message you would want to.

    If Axl thought the world just had to hear this stuff include it in a future box set. Don't keep releasing sub par stuff that gives the world everything but the impression "we're back".

    Well said. Like Hard Skool you will never hear this song played on radio after about 4-5 days of somewhat regular rotation. I’d be embarrassed to show this to friends

    I think Perhaps is one of the best CD tracks (with Robin solo). In my perfect world, Axl Rose would have promoted the album, releasing TWAT as first single with epic UYI like music video, followed by Better, Street of Dreams, Catch in the Rye, and Prostitute. Music videos for all. And then CD II come out 2 to 3 years later with epic the General as first single, Perhaps, Atlass Shrugged, and who knows what else. What happened with Axl and GNR is absolute worst case scenario, ugh. I hate how Axl gave up and let himself go. I hate the reunion. I hate TB. 

    Radio was already dying then but that kind of proper promotion would’ve lead to Chinese Democracy, that era and that band getting a lot more mainstream praise and acknowledgment. 
     

    now 90% of rock fans don’t know it exists or care to find out
