Axl texted Josh Freese if he could talk to Bucket for him and to tell bucket to give him a call. Asked Josh if he knew any other guitar players, Josh said John5, and Axl said we auditioned with him but it didn't work out.
Splat might remember something about this.
Gigger (Splat member) mentioned something about John 5 in the lead up to Hammerstein.
I can't remember much about it. We mentioned it at the time, and both Axl and John 5 have mentioned it since. Beyond that, I can't remember

John 5 would have been interesting in the band cos based on his motley crue stuff he would have played note perfect versions of the recorded stuff as tribute to the creators.

Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
Anybody know what the new vocals are on this song? I never listened much to the demo.
There's a few things, some of the lyrics sound like they are alternative takes or reinforced vocals - a few of the 'heys' at the start have a slightly different tone than the demo imo.
The major thing is the mixing on the chorus has the "got a lot more than I bargained for" vocals with his lower register at the front and the high version in the background, in the demo these parts were much more prominently in the high register I think.
Also there used to be a "save me" Axl backing vocal in the background on those parts which is either gone or very quiet now.

Cool. I’m happy for them. Even Fernando
I was listening to Melissa’s cover of Sorry and she really needs to be utilized more
Her take on Sorry made me appreciate Axl's songwriting more.
Like you can see how he could write pop songs like that rather than just rock.
Reminds me of when Cornell did that scream album with timberland.

Wait, there's a Melissa cover of Sorry?

Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
Do we have official writing credits for Perhaps?
No writing credits yet, but there are credits as to who is on it.
Click more in the description -
Brain, but no Frank is interesting. Some hear a little bit of Finck in the solo left, but he's not credited.
I can't copy/paste on phone, but it's probably already been posted in this thread.
Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
Isn't that an odd order to list it?
Axl
Brain
Duff
Slash
Fortus
Dizzy.
Why is Brain listed so high? Why is Duff before Slash? It's not alphabetic, and I doubt a random order would find Brain so high up. Normally you would just go Axl, Slash, Duff...and so forth.
Could this indicate a writing credit or some other importance?
Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
They fade out Finck’s solo, which seems disrespectful to the man. His curving melody from 1:41 — 1:43 sets a certain emotional tone that holds up the entire transition from the chorus to the solo.
He deserves writing credit. Partially to reward two decades of patience while this great song gathered dust.
If we are all a bit crazy from waiting to hear things in the vault, imagine how the musicians must feel.
