Coma16 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Just now, IzzysMissy said: Good on y’all who are lovin Perhaps.. felt a bit too band-aid and recycled for my taste but I think it’s LOADS better than the other 2. I’ll give it another listen prob and am curious how it sounds live (I actually dig the piano parts) but honestly, it’s just a bit toooooo meh for me. To each their own and all, but deff not my cup of tea. a fab day to all! commentary is hysterical on all socials about this. It's definitely the most radio-friendly of the 3. There's no 1-minute lull in the middle of the track at least with Perhaps. Hope it gets some mainstream love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoochild Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Listening now in stereo (how advanced!) I can hear Slash doing a nice riff during the chorus. Richard's guitar sounded a bit redundant, but there's some weird stuff in the verses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Free Bird Posted August 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) My thoughts after the first listen: CD leftover. I'm not impressed at all. Very disappointed. I understand Axl that he didn't want to release it. Better he kept it in the vault forever. Not a big fan of the previous 2 releases, but HS and Absurd are really good compared to this turd. I think it's better not to be too excited about the future releases from the CD era. I really don't get all the hype here but I think walking through the desert for so long makes an instant meal taste like a five star dish.

showbread1 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Loving that "ITW" effect on Axl's vocals towards the end on "what a weight upon your shoulders" before the last chorus kicks in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some poster back around then coming on here and telling us that he met Axl and asked about silkworms and Axl supposedly said that they wanted to release silkworms and literally no one believed the poster. At all. Not even a little. Then we were all proven wrong 8 or 9 years later when it was the first new song that came out after the reunion. This band is nuts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it was ever in doubt, but he's confirmed it anyway Well I'm a semi-regular here and I haven't seen it discussed. I'm not running through every thread every morning to sift through 49 new pages of "Robin Finck is better than Slash" to figure out if Richard played on Absurd. That's why I asked. It's not that I doubted, per se. But if Frank's not on the new songs, it made me wonder if Richard was.

Plus, Steven Adler said the drums on the Shadow of Your Love release didn't sound like him either, and Frank said it was a question for "management" so I wouldn't be surprised if Brain played a part there too, but that's a whole different discussion...

axlweave Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 When will it be available on iTunes I will be at the Pittsburgh show Tom night hopefully they debut it live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodOlJohnnyK Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I would imagine it gets a release on New Music Friday - so tonight at midnight. I'm reserving my comments on the new recording til then. I listened via TouchTunes on Sunday, but I'd like to hear it in my studio set up to get the full experience. I don't know why, but I'm even iffy on the quality of radio/digital radio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing lazy about it. Use a NZ VPN if you want to listen to it on Youtube. Yep. These videos are basically for Youtube Music. Actual music videos may have different audio or sound effects etc, so these videos are just basic tracks for YT Music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
