It was on YouTube last night. Did they pull the first link?
Singles go to YouTube all the time.
Also....if it's on the album, it's technically its first single. I just don't think it's meant to launch anything.
It's more like, "Hey we're back. We're really doing something this time."
They better not overthink it or get cold feet after seeing the feedback.
the first link was just 30 secs of the song, now the full song is up

There's no way it's a first single, there isn't even an album.
YOu don't need an album for a single. Foster the people for example for the past few years have been releasing singles instead of an album. They put out a new single every few months.

Yes it happens twice - which again lends credence to it being deliberate surely?
its not, its just Caram being a shittier producer. There are tons of mistakes like that on the CD album too that is not on the demos.

That’s the part I was referring to . Is it deliberate ?
It sounds like when you “bump” something in a digital audio workstation (DAW) when recording and have to drag it back in place .
I’m guessing it was an accident kept in deliberately cos they liked it ? Cos otherwise it beggars belief
it was not on the village tapes version. It did not appear until the 2013 BBF version. so not clue

Dave and his magic headphones...how I missed thee.
you do hear the skip right ha ha

I don't hear it in the final one. The editing of this song is a joke.

But like others have said, if he sounded better back then, why bother trying to recapture that kind of take now when he can’t do it?
It’s still so damn bizarre to me at this point, that we have a new single, and that it’s got Slash, and that it’s fucking Silkworms…!
I’m still not quite comprehending all of this.
This is what happens when a house keeper and pool boy are running the band.
Pretty much. What are your thoughts on the guitar parts?
You’ve always been very vocal about Slash ‘butchering’ CD era songs. Do you think he did that here on the studio version?
I still like the HOB best but the guitars are awesome and are the best parts of the new version. Way better than the BBF guitar work on that other version.
Some of the guitar riffs are just randomly pasted on there but the main ones and the solos are awesome.
the only fault I find on these guitar parts are the editing and teh mixing of them. Not the guitar parts themselves. They improved big time on the 2013 version.

The synth and guitar parts are really good on this. Way better than I expected.
The new vocal format like the BBF version totally ruins the song. It makes it way too repetitive. Axl removed the great chorus for just the word absurd. So dumb. Even worse he just sings the same two lines over and over again.
