"Perhaps" - GnR
« on: September 10, 2023, 02:08:32 PM »
So Pandora introduced me a moment ago to a new track by Guns N Roses "Perhaps". Appears to have been released as a single unaffiliated with an album.  Clear GnR style but it might have to grow on me.  It is missing that "edgy" element that Axl used to be known for.  He may just be too damn old to rock and roll.

@Financial.Velociraptor When I saw "GnR" in the subject line I knew I had to look.  I was unaware that Guns n Roses had a new single.  The sounds reminds me more of Chinese Democracy than Use Your Illusion.  I watched the song/video and obviously the guys have aged...feels like a more mature song for a more mature group of musicians.  Still my favorite band.

Yes, more Chinese Democracy than UYI1&2.  I don't hate it.  I think you have nailed the mature musician thing.  I didn't hate the "new" Duran Duran when it came out but it was ... not the same ...

Wow, thanks for the heads up; I had no idea they released new music. I don't think any of us are the same as we were 30 years ago! I'll have to listen to it a  few more times to really know how I feel about it.  Pretty decent on the first listen.
