What Will The Next Single Be?

I predume Atlas Shrugged is an Ayn Rand reference… Axl is not a fan of her is he? That’d be a disappointment..

Any clue in the lyrics?

From what I recall Axl mentioned in the chats the only similarities between the book and the song was the literal concept of not having shoulders wide enough, metaphorically in the case of the song.

[Nick85]

If it is Atlas, I really hope Slash does what he did for HS and gives it a noticeable revamp. I like the song melody-wise, but find the guitar work on the leak to be pretty underwhelming.

[Blackstar]

Wish/hope for: State of Grace or something that we haven't heard (and good).

Realistic expectation: Atlas.

I think you're right, unfortunatly. Both songs are really weak to my ears.

I really like Atlas but Perhaps sounds quite unfinished to me. Needs more vocals and I doubt he's recorded any new ones.

The Seeker

That would be better than Hardschool and Absurd.. Most likely better than any of the options given as well. 

[The Real McCoy]

Ain’t Goin’ Down from the UYI box set.

My bet relies on Crash Diet!

[Alexmee239]

Slash said that something more "complex" is coming.

If they keep releasing EPs, I kinda hope they release studio versions of The Seeker and Wichita Lineman as b-sides.

Crash Diet probably won't be in the box set, unless they include the full Arkeen demo tape (which had The Garden, Bad Obsession and Yesterdays).

That could be a prelude to OMG coming back, revised and reborn as was suggested in the recent past it would make a return.

where did he said that?

[Tom2112]

With zero info it's Impossible to guess. I hope because they've released two previously heard songs that the next song is something nobody has heard.

My current guess is Oh My God

[megaguns1982]

Hopefully an original recently written song and not CD leftovers. But I know there’s 0% chance of that.

[ZoSoRose]

Honestly, I want the good stuff. We already have relatively complete versions of Perhaps and Atlas

I want The General, Zodiac, Soul Monster, Berlin, Tonto, etc

Those sound awesome

[smokingarthur]

It won’t be anything we haven’t heard, pobably because there isn’t much that we haven’t heard. My best guess would be Oh My God is the next single followed closely behind with Atlas. It makes sense that OMG gets released in it’s completed form as it has been on the alternate setlist during the previous tour.

I’d love to see those West Arkeen demos on the box set, but since they’re pre-UYI, I don’t think it’s likely, but I’d love to be proven wrong!

[jamillos]

Definitely not OMG (why on earth would they do that? I do like the song, but it’s already been officially released once; also, it’s not that much more "complex" as compared to HS) and probably/hopefully not Atlas either. People are obsessed with the idea that it has to be something from the Village and sounding the most finished. But we know about other studios. E.g. when Axl said OMG had been revamped, that was somewhere else, and we have no recording of that, yet it exists. 
If it's an older song from Axl’s era, why not something like The General (whatever that’ll turn out to be). 
 

[GoForJMark]

Whatever it is, I just hope there is a juicy Slash solo that's melodic and can be sung with.

[Bitchisback]

They are going to rerelease absurd as silkworms.  Axl decided to bring back the "what can I do with a bitch like you" chorus.

They'll just throw Atlas, Perhaps and State of Grace all together, it'll be 15 minutes and they'll call it a homage to Jim Steinman.

[El Guapo]

OMG would be beyond ridiculous, Atlas, Perhaps and State all suck and Ain't goin down would be just meh since we could listen to that since decades already.

I really hope it's something unheard of.

I wonder if Slash and Duff are even aware of the leaks and all that.

[kanecrescente]

Whats all the hype around state of grace? As soon as Axl starts screeching, it becomes impossible to understand what he's saying

the vocals are not finished in the leaked version, the lyrics are incomplete as well it seems, but there is enough there to hear the potential of the vocals and the song in general imo.
