One thing I’ll never understand on these forums is the hatred for Frank Ferrer.

What's Jamie Lee Curtis got to do with it?

I’d rather have Matt and Gilby back.

I mean - yeah, this is just so fucking weird, eh?

 

I just can't understand what they were thinking. Is it : 

a) a sloppy cut and paste?

b) Do they just think it sounds good?

c) Is it an artistic statement? (Ie, a musical version of : 'right, fuck off Robin, let's bring in Slash').

You’d think after how long they’ve taken to not change the arrangement at all, and paste 1 boring slash doodle over top, they could’ve at least had the decency to not fuck up that copy and paste. But then again this is gnr.

I burned a mix CD with Perhaps and the previous two singles for my vehicle (I’ve paid for them all many times over) and Perhaps is much quieter than the other two songs. Hopefully if the first two singles make it onto an album, they get a proper mix and master. It would be a requirement if they are on the same disc as Perhaps.

Then I'm afraid that this is even less likely than GN'R releasing an album of brand new material.

Perhaps has been really well received in the youtube comments compared to the last two singles.

This could be the one to take off.

Hard Skool was also well received

Watched two reaction videos (though I normally avoid this kind of shit) and they were very positive about it. One guy thought the song "could be newly written" lol

But yeah, I think the overall reception feels more positive than the other singles.

Is Brain still considered the studio drummer for GNR maybe, and Ferrer is essentially just a touring piece? I know the Brain drum tracks were recorded over 20 years ago, but he still seems to be pretty heavily involved with the band. Maybe he was on the tour last year to give his thoughts on the drums or how they sounded on the tracks.

Comment on youtube:

Well I am impressed Axel is back to singing better and I think some of us older fans will be watching and listening Great job boys and girls.

[ZoSoRose]

I’m pretty happy with HS and Perhaps

I've found a way of enjoying the solo. Listen to Slash's slide just at the end of the chorus, helps you lock in to his tone and ignore Robin. 

He does a cool slide then goes in to his own solo.

I actually like the Robin part. Slash comes in abrupt but once you get used to it, it’s cool. I also like the first half of Slash’s solo. Second f could have been better

I don't mind it. I'm so used to his version I can't help but play it out in my head. 

Still it's the same as Hard Skool, the new versions the a bit of getting used to.

True. I just prefer those guys.

[Walapino]

Im glad I didnt listen to the village leak recently, this new single seems new and fresh to me! Exiting times ahead!

Some other comment on the YouTube video said “I wish more classic rock bands would release new music often like GnR does”… uhh…

Someone did already. Like when Hard Skool was released, causal fans are happy in their ignorance but some diehards will rain on their parade

It seems that at least some drum parts were newly recorded for this. Some drum fills haven't been there in the demo 

[The Real McCoy]

I have to say…my favorite thing about the video is how it presents GNR as a BAND.

They could have just focused on Axl, Slash, and Duff, but I really do love how everyone gets equal screen time and there’s enough close ups of everyone to show them off to casual fans.

It really does feel like this is the beginning of something big.

but we don't have access to all the potential demos of this track that were created after the Locker leaks so maybe the drum fills aren't new.

Not newly recorded. It's just that on the demo it was Josh Freese and on this one it's Brain. Brain's track is seemingly from a later demo (than Village) that hasn't leaked.

I bit the bullet and pre-ordered the vinyl. The shipping/exchange rates cost as much as the product itself....
