uzi your illusion Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Does anyone have any newer guesses as to the lyrics in the chorus? Even as it stands now the song is an all time favorite of mine and everyone I've ever played it for has instantly realized its potential as something special. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Shine like more than a bomb you are"? What does that even mean? It seems clunky and weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackparker123 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I could totally imagine Perhaps as a huge GNR comeback single in 2001, with a big budget UYI style video played regularly on MTV. Even if we do ever get a new album it's safe to say we won't get any decent music videos to rival the 87-93 era. Which is a shame because the GNR videos are a big part of the bands legacy for me.

The first line almost sounds like "Shine like more than you bargained for" but that doesn't make a lot of sense either. It's hard to tell with the layered vocals.

alangarcianr Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) For me, one part says ‘you could ???? For the answers you were begging for’ then, the next line makes more sense ‘so talk to the ones that you once ignored’ Edited June 23, 2020 by alangarcianr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I don't like the chorus, because of all the layers. There's way too much going on as an attempt to hide that there is no great melody. Won't sound any good live or in an unplugged setting. Way too many hay hays and uaaahhs in the verses. I like the piano a lot though. Perhaps this song is not for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the piano a lot though. Perhaps this song is not for me. I love the song, and I think the melody is awesome. But I agree: there's already too many layers. Or maybe it was the quality of the recording, a proper mixing/mastering could do it more justice (or worse lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 So I was playing with the original file and removed the center channel (and the voice). You can hear more clearly the heavily processed rhythm guitar/FX during the verses. Also the rhythm in the bridge and the riff in the chorus (yes, there's a riff going on) all sound much more clear. And everything is 100% Robin Finck. Including the solo, which is seemly integrated to the chorus riff. After the solo, the rhythm guitar/fx is actually different and even more "scratchy". It honestly sounds awesome to me and I dont have a clue why is so fucking buried in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice findings! I emailed Brian May a few days ago but have not heard back as of yet. Would be curious on his thoughts on Atlas, at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think he would be more careful to comment on an unreleased song after what happened with Catcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Gordon Comstock for providing that snippet with cleaner vocals to help it; Axl certainly wasn't overstating it when he called them "Rough mixes"! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I tried isolating the vocals... I gave up trying to decipher the lyrics in the chorus a while ago, there's just too many vocal layers going on at once. I'm sure someone could do a better job, but if anyone's interested: https://vocaroo.com/147nq026uL73 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell with the layered vocals Live Like A Suicide has it almost right. With two minor adjustments: So now you got more than you bargained for You’re all alone now You forgot about the others you were begging for You're all alone So talk to the ones that you want to ignore You're all alone now You used to be a little crazy now there's so much more You're all alone Edited October 28, 2020 by Flayer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State of Grace has lyrics that are easier to understand, and isolating the vocals didn't work as well as it did with Perhaps, but here's the SOG vocals if you're interested https://vocaroo.com/19Xib3c03uTg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
