Hopefully they're learning something from this and can continue doing so. Hell if anything I hope this reinvigorates some motivation and self confidence for Axl. My thoughts exactly. This is far more structured than the other songs which were basically flung out haphazardly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alejandro GNR Posted August 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2023 I cant help but watch the perhaps video and feel so happy for all these guys… I know its a lot of selected images put together but man they look so happy. And I love that they acknoledge everyone sorrounding them (beta, Fernando, Del, Meegan, Susan, etc) I feel this can only mean good things in the near future And man Im in love with Perhaps, I love it… 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they realized that they can’t skate by on the legacy anymore after 7 years. Probably were getting outside pressure due to the lackluster sales of these baseball park shows (all heavily discounted and many closing off upper decks). Whatever the cause, happy we’re finally seeing some legit effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBO Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Me and my friend had listened to song a lot on various platforms and we came to conclusion that the sound from the official video is much better than any audio like Spotify as an example. The mix is far clearer. Slash is really more audible and in front. Same as for some lyrics during the song. Does anybody hear that? I think that the song has been delayed because the video was not ready last week (some shots in it seems really recents) but ended that the others platforms dont have "the final mix" excuse my poor english; it's not my first langage. I love the new song! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I think the video is helping a lot, and that’s something nobody here was expecting. It’s a well deserved success, long overdue IMO. 5 hours ago, Jw224 said: There is some clipping in the song, yeah.

DarkLotus1111 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 It's great that most reviews about it are positive. So far, I've only played it three times. I'm going to wait until "The General" drops to hear it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the new song! Maybe...but don't underestimate what the power of visual and image synergy can do...when Slash is playing and you suddenly see him In all his glory, you immediately hear it stronger....same with chorus vocals, etc when see the subtitles, you hear them clearer...that's why having a video has been such an amazing little surprise....

crashoride Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Video is good. The song is not. The general rock community won’t like it. Social media posts already prove that. Axl needs to quit with the CD era shit and the group needs to put out a real rock album or song. You’re not going to fill venues in the U.S. with this crap. I guess it’s the same with a lot of other bands. As they age the music goes to shit. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song is not the best ever but it's decent and it's definately in the numerous circles I've checked out getting a much better reaction than almost anything since 1994!

opalho Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Bit late to the thread (as always) but I really like Perhaps, probably my favorite of the new releases so far. It's also awesome to see how popular the single is outside of hardcore Guns fans, considering how much attention ABSURD and Hard Skool got. Great song! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the new song! It’s very interesting because I kinda feel the same way. Much better sound wise in the video than anywhere else - im still meh on the song itself, but I dig the video and launch. I really wish they did this before the tour started in June.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
