Also we don't know what they might of been doing to tracks this year ....if Axl and Slash "were listening to mixes" as we know from the source that was in there with them....be a bit weird if it was tracks put down 3 years ago....sounds like they've at least done something this year to listen back to as they left for the road....that's a logical conclusion.... Yeah it's a huge stretch of the truth, but why they did it this way is obvious. End of the day, it's just good when they release something so this white lie isn't spoiling things, just thought it was funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The band’s website is reiterating the same thing the press statement from yesterday said: that perhaps was “written and recorded this year.” Maybe this song really was done separately from the other five or six songs they supposedly did during Covid? Maybe atlas was originally supposed to be paired with the general? Would explain why there’s rumblings of atlas coming out in November.

Look on all the rock radio twitter's (X's) I'm sure it will get some play and a little push even if just for today, as come on its GNR! They don't do this often....normal radio no.

rumandraisin Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Listening on Spotify through nice speakers. Mix sounds great. Brain drums sound nice and huge, mixed spaciously. Wonder when they were done? In the bridge there's an ascending synth line? Dizzy or Caram? Chorus lower vocals are cool. Very TWAT. Solo is still the what the fuck moment, I'll never get used to it. I love Slash's solo though. Nice phase or flange on it? Duff's rumbling bass underneath it. Duff's bass is so heavy. Great stuff. Last verse really sounds clearer the way they've processed the vocals. Still in doubt there's any major new vocals aside from the lower notes on the chorus. Where are people hearing Duff singing? I know he's credited but I'm not hearing him. Overall I think it rocks. It's a really tight song and catchy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Song is growing on me in it's final form! I really didn't like the chorus from the village, I think it's MUCH better now (no "safe me" and the demon voice louder in the mix). Slash's stuff is good. The only thing that could be improved would be a better ending, it just stops. But I get it, everything is said and it ends. Music video on day 1, YES, YES, YES! Love it!! And the general around the corner? Great news! Love this, Cheers GnR!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumandraisin Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) What's going on in the final chorus? It's pretty dense, I'm picking out some keyboard strings. And a really faint bit of guitar ad lib. Love that final drum roll in to the chorus. Edited August 18, 2023 by rumandraisin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are people hearing Duff singing? I know he's credited but I'm not hearing him. I went thorough the two versions, comparing each vocal line to each other. I might have picked up a difference in how he translates the first "feels" between the two versions but except for that I am 100% certain it is the same main vocal track except for the very final ending and how he sustains the final tone more in the released version. Obviously, the vocals have been processed somewhat differently. Then the official version has a less muddled chorus, partly because the lead guitar which played high tones which crashed with the vocals is now gone, but also because the 'save me' part has been removed and because a new vocal track where Axl sings with the demon voice is either added (or just mixed higher) to separate the call and response. 8 minutes ago, rumandraisin said: Love that final drum roll in to the chorus. Yep! Maybe my favorite part of the entire song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Can anyone remember how long after the vinyl was announced for HS that the CD came? Like many here, I'm keen to get that CD ordered and hope there is one coming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
