Tom2112 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I miss the guitar melody under the pre chorus, it was probably the most memorable guitar part similar to Estranged or something. But besides that it sounds ok, and Slash's guitar a bit more of that gnr sound. Quite a short song too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MildlyArtistic Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 My only major gripe with this version of the song is you can sure tell it's a CD-era leftover by how much unnecessary stuff is on the released version. It really doesn't need so many "yeah, yeaaaah" lines or the weird whale noises at the start. I do like it quite a bit, though. I just think it could've benefitted from being more stripped-down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittiara Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Finally got to hear the new version! I also think it's the best of the three singles. For me it's: Absurd - 1/10 Hard Skool - 5/10 Perhaps - 7/10 At this rate, The General will be a 9/10! Well, one can hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 On YouTube now. It's.....fine to my ears. Slash solo is fine but not that incredible, mix is fine. Now they've forced themselves through the agony of releasing 3.48 of music I hope we can move on to the next stage. All this saga, drama and time just makes everything underwhelming. I hope it's not another three years of nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok guys! We made it! I've just played this damn song about 14 times in a row....one play for each day of anxiety we spent the last 2 weeks to get to this point.....it feels like we just climbed Everest....maybe we'll have to fight the fucking Roman Empire to get to The General! Anyways...come on, how many listens have you had since drop??? Tell us...how many? Driving anyone mad with it like I have? Perhaps has relegated me to the spare room....

Ollster42 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) think the overall mix is slightly quieter than absurd and HS which is odd. Not sure why everyone's saying it's too bassy, seems less bass-heavy than the other 2 to me. I like the deep voice in the chorus and I can understand what Axl is singing now. Solo could be better. 8 minutes ago, HollyWoodRose84 said: Exactly like he is when he’s live. at Hyde park he was too loud compared to everything else but it fluctuated throughout.

AtlasShrugged Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Also Apple Music has a new feature where you can remove vocals which is cool - can hear new bits in the song. Just turn down the mic icon when playing the song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Wanted to make a poll but it won’t let me make a new thread. What’s your guys favorite song of the 3? Mine is Perhaps>Hard Skool>Absurd Absurd’s production is better than HS but I like HS more as a song. Absurd is still great though. Perhaps is a musical treat to me. Love it, but I’m also a CD nerd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 How does gnr explain this..... “written and recorded by Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan this year,” and marks the band’s “first collective new composition and recording together in 30 years since 1993’s The Spaghetti Incident?” Perhaps was very much composed by Axl and whoever else was in the band in the late 90s... It sounds almost identical to the village sessions. I mean that statement is pure BS🤣 Just impressed they put a statement out though. To me it sounds like they don't want people talking about how this song is 20+yrs old, so they're hoping people don't research and just read and believe the statement. Gnr....

It's still a surreal experience to be listening to a "new" GNRa track in 2023. I'm glad we're mostly enjoying this. Lots of forum names not seen often are commenting too (notice?) Once you know the lyrics...the chorus is easy to hear! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
