Guitar riffs, Slash solo that’s actually thought out and fits the song, lots of lead guitar, Axl screaming chorus… What is there to not like? 1 hour ago, We love Axl Rose said: I absolutely agree with you! I really like HS (and Absurd), I think those were great high energy songs for them to release. So far I don't think Perhaps is going to be as enjoyable for me but I guess we'll see. I think they're going to have to release another (better) song along with it or shortly after because this one is going to be forgotten about pretty soon. 37 minutes ago, GNR 1991 said: Perhaps no longer appears on the TouchTunes app for me (US) It's gone on my app also.

I don't believe so, the other leaks we have left are not exactly commercial or appeal to a wider audience, heavy songs like The General or SOG will always have way less fanfare in terms of quantity than a song like Perhaps, which to me sounds like it will have the most appeal to the widest audience.

agustingloger Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I've just heard it. I didn't know the leaks so Slash's solo works for me. Just to identify him in a GN'R song still touches My heart. It ain't Estranged's solo but is nice. Love the piano. The thing about the CD era reworked stuff is Axl's vocals. I still find them weird outside Chinese Democracy and with Slash guitar but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally feel the material stands on its own and some of the tracks are the best in the GNR discography. There are some stinkers, yes, and I agree some of the beeps and layers are stupid, but I am of the opinion that the album contains some of GNR’s best work.

It’s why there are good parts in a lot of the songs, but virtually all of them are soulless and missing something in totality. There’s a reason most albums aren’t made this way. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAxlMorrison Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Yeah, “Perhaps” appears to be gone on my app. If it’s just coming out this Friday anyways, that’s ridiculously silly. Just leave it up, it’s getting a little buzz 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardSkool wasn't bad either. I know his solo output has dipped and his playing in general is less exciting to me at least, but I know he still takes pride in what he does and definitely doesn't want to be viewed as anything close to a weak link when a song comes out... Even if he doesn't like the song. I don't think that song would have come out if Slash and Duff hated it though. I think they are willing to go along to get along, but there's still limits.

JimiRose Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 8 hours ago, Ollster42 said: Okay cheers I understand what was done now, but yeah who knows why Axl would like this. You think its the same deal with Perhaps solo then? Very hard to tell with the jukebox phone recordings, so will have to wait until actual version is released. But it's not as uncommon as people hear seem to think. When we are cutting solos in my band, it could be our actual guitarist playing or my bro who guests on a couple songs or even me on lead (im a bassist by trade) laying down 3 seconds of a lick. if it's on pro tools and the same amps you can't tell its a diff guitarist, just making sure you get the best bit to fit and create the best solo. Everything is cut and paste now! Axl was well ahead of his time tbh 8 hours ago, jimisbatman said: Is this a fact? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, they may have been drunk but it's certainly not sloppy. it's actually 'perfectly' out of time and moves into time at an even rate, so it is very obviously intentional. Whether you think it's good or bad or ruins it, that's peoples personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I wonder if when Perhaps was pulled from TouchTunes, if it was abruptly cut off on any machines it happened to be playing on at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too don’t understand leaving in the bend. I’m hoping it sounds cleaner or more cohesive on the non-cell phone recordings. Curious to see what people who never listened to the locker leak would think of that part of the song. Hopefully I can tell you on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem like just releasing the song today (live debut tomorrow in NYC/NJ) would be the smartest/easiest way to go at this juncture. Unless of course you’re not planning on releasing it anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
