rumandraisin Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Just now, Sweersa said: Do you honestly believe the few songs we got on CD that were not in the Village leaks were all the band has worked on from 2001-2014? No not at all, there's probably dozens more instrumentals recorded up until 2006! Vocally though, nothing apart from a few touch ups in 2007 I'd wager.

How on Earth could they call this a new composition? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneisKing1389 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Everything on the radio website and twitter said official release 8/18. They were allowed to debut 24 hours early on radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some vocals were recent. He was pictured in a studio wasn’t he? Yeah, but theoretically he could have just been listening to the mix. If he recorded anything, I suspect it was the low parts in the chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on Earth could they call this a new composition? just look at them and then contemplate if your question is even necessary. anyway. I like drums on this, and I also like rhytm guitars - both drums and rhytm guitars have cool fills which make it enjoyable to listen. bass is thick, good. vocals are... basically the same as in the old version, they are OK, no Mickey. I do hate the added whining with passion though, especially that shit between 2:18 and 2:28 is utter shit "guitar solo" sucks hard. I prefer the original Robin Finck's solo, which is still partly left on this - too bad he's uncredited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I haven't heard it in HD quality yet, but vocally I can see that being 2023 Axl. Of course it wasn't written by Duff or Slash, but they put their instruments over it so - fine with me. But isn't the song just basically structured like "Verse 1/Chorus/Breakdown/Verse 1 again/Chorus"? It doesn't have a second verse with different lyrics, or am I forgetting something?

As for Melissa, she seemingly contributed to the other two singles, at least according to her website (I guess she mostly replaced Pitman's parts). Maybe she isn't on Perhaps because it wasn't necessary, as Dizzy did the keyboard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the keyboards/piano are the same as on the old mix, just now it's mixed "properly" so they can be actually heard well. piano is fine on this.

Its Tino Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 14 minutes ago, Sweersa said: I can't wait for someone here with the appropriate ear and skills to seamlessly add in Robin's solo to the released mix, assuming that's possible using the leak and final version. Hopefully they don't pull Robin's solo from the earlier leak that was tampered with and had the quality reduced. (you can hear hissing in the beginning, as if it came from tape, which was added) Whomever did that was an ass. I believe that had already been pieced together by someone. I haven’t heard it so I can’t judge on the quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although heavily edited on Absurd and especially Hard Skool, to the point that they probably ended being a completely different thing.

WhazUp Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Hearing a low bitrate rip of the initial radio broadcast again, of course it is hard to judge but even now I am thinking this may be the strongest re-working so far among the 3 released singles. I do think this sounds like Village Session-era Axl to me still, maybe from a different vocal take we hadn't heard from that time or they comped a vocal track using slightly different edits but the same overall track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I meant regardless of when keyboards were recorded, it was apparently Dizzy who played them, not Pitman, so Melissa wasn't needed.

It is a terrible solo. Honestly probably the worst Slash solo of any GNR song that comes to mind. Embarrassingly bad. Not trolling or being contrarian, I just genuinely think Slash's solo is fine I respect all opinions including those who prefer Robin's take on it, I see no reason to argue with anyone about our own ears' preferences in that sense - even though I do maintain that some comments about Slash's playing in general post-2016 can get a bit hyperbolic Edited August 17, 2023 by WhazUp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Very scummy of the band if they are actually claiming this to be an Axl/Slash/Duff composition. I’m going to wait to see that “press release” elsewhere before I judge them for pushing that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betterman Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Might be they started to work on this in 94-95 and indeed was written together then, sounds very UYI like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausagebrain Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 No mention of Perhaps being released on Gunsnroses.com. I know that doesn't change anything, but you'd think that a new release would at least be mentioned on the official website? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
