Martin Riggs Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I’m loaded like Axl at 5AM in Manhattan the other night, but I finally was able to watch the video with headphones on..Glorious! More of this effort please. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veon Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Full disclosure: this is probably crazy. However the vinyl only release coupled with the mythical The General being relegated to a b-side has me thinking a new album may be closer than we think. Otherwise, I feel they would’ve milked this release a la Hard Sokol with multiple vinyl releases and a CD release. I feel that The General as b-side hooks a bunch of vinyl purchases exclusively through the GnR store, and then the same people buy the same songs when the album is announced in the next 3-6 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tboneman Posted August 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2023 Perhaps video already has almost 120k views. This is why I wish HS had had a proper music video. People still like to watch music videos even if it's just live stuff. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trin9498 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Song sounds better than demo. I love the layered piano. Agree with others though….solo is low spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can solo be a low spot on a GNR song 😱 FFS Slash should milk the solo through to the last verse/chorus Edited August 18, 2023 by THELINESMAN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that happening. If (big if) there was to be an album I would think HS, Absurd, Perhaps and General would all be on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koldbeer2 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 An actual legitimate video as well with this one. I'm guessing Axl is happy with how he looks now. An OK song, nothing special but it's easy enough listen so it may gain more traction than the others simply due to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It blows my mind that someone would listen on just built-in laptop speakers or just a phone. So yes, I agree. High end speakers and headphones will set you back a pretty penny. I won’t even mention how much my system costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do get an album I think it’ll just be a Lies 2 type of thing where the a-side is just all the songs they worked on during Covid (and Perhaps, assuming it really was only done this year like they’re saying) and the b-side will just be remixes of some CD songs with Slash/Duff or live tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDeano Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 How slow was the UK merch store site, has taken me nearly an hour to order my single, shirt and magic 8 ball. But order in, roll on the 27th Oct 🤟😁🤟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Killer Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 What a treat, indeed. The song is released, the have good merch available for pre-order, AND they released a music video that's pretty cool. What a week. I hope tonight is even more awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MildlyArtistic Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Gave me a laugh reading the line “Written and recorded by Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan this year” for a song that was written and mostly complete over 23 years ago.

Sweersa Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Was the week delay caused by a video export issue on Fernando's Windows Movie Maker? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
