TheGeneral Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 It's out in Germany now. Listened to it with my good headphones and I do like it. But I absolutely hate how inaudible the lyrics in the chorus are. They should be front and center and not buried under the instrumental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also are the deep voices in the chorus probably newly recorded? The deep voice in the chorus was already in the demo, but just barely hearable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good song there that suffers from some odd mixing choices, repeated lyrics and a weak solo. Like Absurd, I'm expecting the live versions will be a lot better, and I'm looking forward to hearing it in Vancouver. (For reference I'd say Hardschool is about 5/10 and Absurd maybe a 2/10) Pretty similar ratings for me. HS is definitely a 5/10 and Perhaps is a 6. I wouldn’t be that nice to Absurd, though. 0.5/10. The only reason it’s not a 0 is because it was actually released. So, I guess I am being generous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Metallica did with The Unforgiven! "Hey Heey - Pussy for the Fam" "Hey Heey II - Electric Boogaskool" "Hey Heey III - Guns N' Roses on Ice" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernardo_Seccadio Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I really like this song, I would say 7/10 BUT almost just like HS, I believe that there were more potential in the demo "vision" for the song than on this finished version. Nevertheless ... still a very good song. Great to hear new material from GNR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay.Of.Execution Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 The part when the piano kicks in after the solo, and then the drums: perfection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 As someone on GnREvo pointed out: The fact that they’re trying to trick everyone into actually thinking this is a newly-written song just goes to show how much the band and/or label wants to erase the ChiDem era from existence. Same reason why ChiDem wasn’t listed on the updated greatest hits, even tho AFD Locked N Loaded was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post h2sublime Posted August 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2023 Absurd 7/10 HS 7.5 /10 Perhaps 8.5/10 I have enjoyed all 3 singles a lot. They are getting better as they go.

Lies They Tell Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I like it! It's not all that different compared to the demo. I've always thought that if GNR released music more often like a normal band, that music would perhaps sound something like this song. Instead Axl seems to always be striving to write epics like November Rain, TWAT, The General or something, which is a difficult task. Consequently, he ends up releasing music extremely rarely. So yeah, this song is nothing earth shattering, but not everything has to be. Personally I prefer Hard Skool and even Absurd over this cause I prefer energetic rockers in general. But I still enjoy this song immensely. It's far better than most music that's released these days. It's genuinely gratifying to be listening to fresh GNR music once again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
