gnrjanus Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Just had my friends listen to the song. They know im a diehard gnr fan. They know my obsession with gnr and the Chinese sessions etc. They like it. They like the riffs and the piano work on it. Work like this might them buy n ep or album whenever it comes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGeneral Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Okay, so now, after two performances ... this song doesn't work live - at least on in the way Axl does it. Even the verses are bad, he sounds like he's just shouting them. The chorus is a mess. If you told me that he never tried to sing it before the first performance I would absolutely believe you. Especially since he said that "I'll have to figure out how to sing it". The chorus 100% needs to be split up. Either do the lyrics or the All Alone-part, both doesn't work.

I still like Perhaps, though, and am still looking forward to The General, of course. I feel the same way too. I think in the context of an album Perhaps is fine but on its own it's a little boring, doesn't really go anywhere. But I've still been playing it a lot.

yourcrazy Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I think it is really good and am enjoying listening to a new GnR tune finally. It’s not going to be a huge hit but it’s a solid song. Would have been better if it came out 15 years ago as it should have. Hopefully they will keep releasing and eventually get one more new album “soon” lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Matinator Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) A buddy who isn’t a big GNR fan told me he heard it on the radio the other day & it sounded good. Even went on about how even though he doesn’t like Axl’s vocal style personally he appreciates his talent. For me this is pretty vindicating because I e been going on for 4 years about how they need to put out Perhaps as a single lol.

PaoloLA Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It’s been days now, Perhaps has been on YouTube and available on streaming services. But I don’t know about you guys in your city, but here in Montreal, the local rock station hasn’t played it once….. Am I missing something??

They really added to the track and would’ve sounded great alongside the ascending synth lines that replaced them I do like the weepy nature of the guitar in the verses and then the pre-chorus of the locker leak. But there is also something messy about it. Not the way Finck is playing. More so there is just too much going on in the mix. A cacophony of sound, if you will. The studio release allows Axl’s vocals to breathe a bit before that killer chorus. It’s more piano keys and bass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure Chicago even has a rock station that plays new rock music. There’s one that plays classic rock. So right now, for example, it’s “You Give Love a Bad Name.” Then there’s another station that’s alt rock. They seem to play older stuff too. I see Gotye “Somebody That I Used to Know” and “Blitzkrieg Bop” recently played. The best rock station we have is probably WXRT, but they don’t play bands like GNR. And honestly, I am not sure why. They play Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Death Cab, Smashing Pumpkins, Ramones. Bunch of new and old stuff mixed in. Therein lies the problem with legacy acts and new music. Chicago is a huge city and doesn’t have a radio station that plays new rock music. So I didn’t expect “Perhaps” to be on the radio, really. I wonder if it’s getting rotation on any Sirius stations.

I’m shocked he goes for both. I’d be more into Duff and Dizzy handling the low register part with Melissa and Axl singing “you’re all alone.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
