Guns n Roses - Perhaps

 

[heavyharmonies]

Perhaps not.

Meh.  I don't immediately hate it like I did with Absurd so maybe that's a positive.  And I can at least hear some Use Your Illusion type vibes a little bit in that song in spots which I think is at least making it listenable.

But I can also see why it was a leftover.  Just not a very memorable tune. 

I'm always going to feel like this band left a ton of meat on the bone.  They were so good with Appetite and the Illusion albums and then it's been virtually nothing the past 30 years.

Of course it is not classic GNR, but I like it for what it is.

I don't think it is their best work for certain, but it's not bad.

[whiplash1972]

Meh, I can take it or leave it, although I must say that my interest has been peaked in the B Side to Perhaps titled “The General”. 🤔

Didn't instantly dislike it.  It's certainly got a UYI vibe. 

[Whatever Happened To Fun?]

Very forgettable.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

I hate this band, so I'm not even gonna bother listening to it. But that album artwork is cool.

Agree with the 'Use your illusion' vibe, but also strongly agree that there's nothing more to it. Really bland song and nothing I'd ever return to.

Far as I understand it, it's a 'Chinese Democracy' left over, with Axl's vocals from those sessions, just with Slash and Duff re-recording the guitar and bass parts. Though people seem to suggest that there's still original guitar parts from the other guy on the song.
