StrangerInThisTown Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Listening with headphones, Slashs new rhythm part during the "you're all alone" part remind me of Snakepit era stuff, like the riffs in Soma City Ward. So good to finally hear something like that with AXL singing over it, love it. Feels unreal! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says Another new song on the B-Side. Hard Skool single was the same situation, so we shouldn’t worry too much. 45 minutes ago, Arnuld said: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/guns-n-roses-perhaps-axl-rose-1234808408/ Glad that the critic called CD criminally underrated.

It's only coming out 2-3 years later because, you know, GNR. Edited August 18, 2023 by StrangerInThisTown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Axl is gonna love that shit It was so hyped for 10+ years that the initial reaction was to bury it as a terrible album. Is it the best album ever? Nope, but it's pretty good IMHO. I would grade it 4/5 stars. Certainly not the worst ever by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it actually is Robin and not a mimicking from Fortus. Edited August 18, 2023 by StrangerInThisTown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, Slash’s solo is growing on me. Unconventional, but it works. Def sleazy and gives it that GNR sound. I like the Robin nod, too Edited August 18, 2023 by ZoSoRose 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamos66 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Is it just me or is the majority of Twitter posts overwhelmingly positive with GNR's Perhaps right now? Feels like more hype than Hardskool, which is crazy considering this is CD era. Awesome Edited August 18, 2023 by Skamos66 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
