I always thought the delayed vocal was okay, I never understood the confusion over that.

get in a room and write new shit

for your current voice, and your current band

Listened 6 times straight at a bowling alley bar in the valley of Los Angeles. I still love the song and I don’t really have anything negative to say. (I went to Winnetka Bowl and made everyone there listen 6 times in a row haha)

It sounds great

the solo is fine, woulda never thought about the beginning Robin part of not for you bitches haha

noone complained about hearing it 6 songs in a row 

I think it’s fuckin good !

The fact they’ve been on this NITL tour since early 2016 and are only now releasing a few Chinese era songs some five to seven hears later, well, it’s not a good look. Every article about “Hard Skool,” “Absurd, and now “Perhaps” mentions that they’re  reworked Chinese songs.  That not only tempers the general public’s enthusiasm, but it just cements people’s opinions that Guns are “past their prime” or simply unable to write something new together. Especially when the articles mention the vocals are from 20 years ago.

It's a typical CD era song.  Quite boring and plods along with piano and no real interesting guitar parts. 

Robins original solo started off quite nicely but failed to go anywhere. 

Slash starts off pretty much the same but in a lower octave and then gives a better ending. 

Neither solo is particularly great but it's a song that doesn't really lend itself to an epic solo and can't really be saved.

 

This band could really do with having a strong manager to just tell them it's boring and write something fresh.

I went to a bar close by just now to hear it and I kind of agree with this. Like I had said earlier, it's kind of boring. They're going to need to release some other better songs along with it too.

Not really.  His last 2 solo albums still had plenty of excellent guitars, granted they were rushed due to Guns commitments. 

I'm sure his solo album next year will be really good. 

He quit Guns in the 90s because he didn't like the musical direction along with other reasons. I doubt he's too inspired with not writing new material and just been asked to slap a solo on a 20 yr old song that didn't make the cut for CD. 

I think that's probably what's happening here, same with that Demi Lovato song. The solo on that sounds like he heard it once, noodled something over it, and that was it.

It's better mixed too. There's no new vocals on this. Maybe some parts in the chorus were added, the lower parts, but that was probably over 15 years ago. 

It's different. As an example, just listen to the final tone he sings. On the Village leak version it ends quickly, on the new version it is more sustained and he drops down a tone or so while holding it. Clearly different vocal takes.

You would need to plug something into it to capture the audio data and I doubt that would go unnoticed.

£/$20 to the bar staff for 4 minutes to occupy the jukebox!

I think his studio playing and especially live for The One You Loved Is Gone was fanfuckingtanstic. I can’t totally judge him on these retread CD songs as I can see why the inspiration wouldn’t be there. With that said, I was hoping for a little more as well on Perhaps. I mean it goes with the shorter  song, but I’m always hoping for a Slashesque solo that is amazing. 

Slash is still great at traditional rock and bluesy music I just find the CD material and left overs is just not his best fit and feel. He is being wedged into something not his style.

Have a listen and watch this recent performance of slash and it sounds/looks like the old fellow we love. Even tone wise this is a more natural slash.

Slash is great, the solo is good, the song is very good!

i'm bored. i want the real thing already.

Not going to scroll through the pages but I assume someone has noticed that the apple music link comes up in Google search ready for "official" release 

[bonez]

So if this is out Friday which some people believe for reasons I'm unsure of.  when will we know for sure.

[crashoride]

Not sure how people think this song is good. I’m still waiting for the “Big Guns”. 

Nothing good came out of this band since the UYI era.

I’m not a fan. It may be good for a nursing home.

Maybe it's time to change the title of this thread one more time.

I just heard TouchTunes removed Perhaps from their system.

That’s exactly right, it’s a different vocal take for sure, example: when Axl “behaviour”  he sings it with more of an “ah” at the end. Behaveyah.

I do think that the chorus “ you’re all alone”  is the same exact vocal take as the old version though.

Thank you for not being as dumb as some others here. Still can't believe there's people that think Absurds vocal was an error

Yup, someone does actually listen before it’s released haha

Still there according to 2 members here is good news.
Maybe they will play it ten tonight.

(In a Waffle House it was removed)
