Popular Post DK6 Posted August 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm kind of hoping The General is a bit like a GnR version of 'I'm just ken' from the Barbie movie. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak1nney Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I was listening to Estranged and Perhaps came on right after. This song fits right in that era of the band. The piano and Slash's guitar work is very Illusion era sounding. Random late-night thoughts... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siraddam Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 https://metalplanetmusic.com/2023/08/single-review-guns-n-roses-perhaps/ Short, but decent review. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if it will be included on an eventual new album or a longer EP than the last one we got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmus1 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 No CD or cassette is the only reason the Atlas Shrugged rumor has any weight. The 5 new songs would be a solid EP to market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m Just Ken is the front runner for the best song Oscar, sir!! It also features Slash and Josh Freese. Fun fact..Mike Clink was the producer on Slash’s part. Would be cool if he works more with Slash/GNR on upcoming projects. Also Perhaps is now over 3 million on YouTube after exactly 2 weeks.

And I don't think Slash sound anything like the Illusions tone (which is my favorite, btw). Even the drums are too different from the Illusions IMO, I don't see it as a fit to the Illusions era sonics-wise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashisGOD Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It kinda sounds like it could fit on UYI II but there are indeed things that make it sound more CD era, because it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of the most interesting and informative interviews (from Slash's perspective, of course): https://www.a-4-d.com/t4666-1995-mm-dd-alice-cooper-s-vintage-vault-unknown-original-source-interview-with-slash This is super informative, one of the most valuable interviews from that time I've ever read. Slash seems like he's being relatively fair and honest here. He doesn't totally dislike Axl yet at this point, GNR is still a possibility to him, so he's not just shitting on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--DEA-- Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 When I sing Perhaps at work without listen to the song it always ends with singing Irs 🤣 Is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Slash had some killer solos with Velvet Revolver and on his 2010 solo (no pun intended) album. I wish he would play a little more to that level on these reheated Chinese songs. I do like his work on Silkworms more than Bumblefoot's contributions to it. His second Hard Skool solo was pretty good, his Perhaps one could be better, but he has A LOT to work up to when you have the original solos done by Finck and Buckethead.

It begs the question, IF they had a track from the ‘Illusion’ days that they never took further than just writing and finalising a structure and now 32 years later they cleared the dust off that track and recorded it, would that fit in with the Illusion tracks at all or is it just the tones, drums and Axls current voice that completely take away what made the Illusion songs/sounds unique.

Never thought about it but now that you mentioned it I think I get the 14 Years structure thing... even though the 14 Years solo is pure class rock n roll. And So Fine is his basically a trademark 'let the guitar cry' Slash solo even if it's simplistic. The solo on Perhaps isn't near of any of those solos imo... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought It depends if it's an Axl track or from any other member. If it's a Slash track, for sure it would sound more like the Illusions tracks, IMO. 18 minutes ago, Free Bird said: Never thought about it but now that you mentioned it I think I get the 14 Years structure thing... even though the 14 Years solo is pure class rock n roll.

It's not, I was just trying to understand Slash's mind a bit better by comparing those two. But yeah, you're right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His second Hard Skool solo was pretty good, his Perhaps one could be better, but he has A LOT to work up to when you have the original solos done by Finck and Buckethead. I think if he's working on a song that needs a big epic solo, he won't have any trouble to deliver. He could have played an extended solo on Perhaps but it probably wouldn't fit with the existing drum track. Hard Skool is what it is and it got the solo it deserved. On Absurd Slash's guitarwork is short but great. Again, exactly what the song needs. I've never heard anything of The General, not even the cellphone recording. Therefore I wouldn't take it for granted that it's the holy grail of the CD catalogue, even though I wanna believe in what Bach said. But it could indeed be one of those epic songs Slash mentioned when talking about the reworked music. There's not much left and I don’t wanna believe he had Perhaps in mind when talking about the epic songs. So if The General is that what people expecting, than I'm sure his guitar work will improve automatically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he probably didn't want to foreground himself, or he didn't have more 'space' for the solo, I mean, what he plays fits the song, he could noodle around, but its a little to less for 'Slash' imo.

colonizedmind Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 "Oh I like this song....hey hey...." Guys nevermind all her stats and projections....Perhaps is a hit because the man on the street says what this guy says... By the way Axl is really starting to figure it out....much stronger verses and he's no longer tackling the whole chorus like we had suggested (need to turn up Duff in those lines though!) Although he still didn't do the last refrain and for some reason fancied doing the crazy line....I think he just likes that line too much!! "Hey hey..." To Craig's mellow brother....Youuusa Indoor house knocks the fuck outta the shirty stadium sound, right!?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfacelessturtle Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I don't understand why Slash keeps using such a clean, dry tone. Guns N Roses songs aren't meant to be played with the guitar tone of Keith Richards. His bends don't sustain as a result and it especially ruins songs with long bends like NR, Estranged and such. If he wasn't buried in the mix and had more gain, I might like his solo on Perhaps more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
