Perhaps Official Video Released

[kyrie]

Well, not sure anyone was expecting an actual video to come out.

MUCH better than the Better vid with the cheezy band intro, otherwise similar live vid. Dave Grohl cameo.

Cool vidéo!

[DeadHorse]

I'm glad it showcased the entire band. It was cool to see John 5 back stage as well.

 

[Spirit]

Wasn’t expecting that! Fantastic!

[ITARocker]

Finally a normal thing after 30 years, not bad. Nice video it gives recognition to all the band members.

[shaundix]

The video must only have been made in the last few weeks. There's a lot of footage from Glastonbury and Hyde Park.

[jonnybgoode82]

Love the video. Shows what a great time they had on that European run.

Good fun spotting everyone in it; Dave Grohl, John 5, Susan, Meegan, Del. Shows what a great extended family vibe the band must have.

[Six Strings]

Beautiful. I like it. I like it very much.

[DAVE ROCK]

 

[rebelhipi]

Love it!

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Well this s a great surprise on a Friday morning !

[kunzerd]

Great song,  best of the three so far, didn’t expect the video, which is great, and probably why they delayed a week.

The mix on the song is questionable. The piano, vocals and lead guitar get a little buried in there, but still enjoyed it.

[axlroses]

That was awesome.

[inho]

The video is great
The song is great
The shows are great
The general is coming out
It’s great!

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Ive heard that The General is coming out from a few posts here & there. Is it just speculation or based on some good sources?

Glad you asked doc…
It’s the b side of perhaps on the band website
And yer man fernando said it on Reddit too
It’s happening!

Come on!!!

[inho]

Also
I’ve forgotten the name
Of the company that does the graphics for confers but they are great too
Also I saw the band at the Tottenham stadium last year and they were great and carrie underwood was fucking great

We should all make the most of this time as fans

The band is playing their arses off live
Everyone seems happy
The new music rocks

Come on!!!

I'm glad they're reworking and putting out the leftover CD era songs, there was some great stuff there.

I liked the original version of Silkworms over Absurd, but better to put it out than not.

[D-GenerationX]

I like the video.  It looks like a functional and professional band.  A well oiled machine.

And my god, one happy band too, huh?  You ever seen so many smiles from Axl in 3 minutes and 44 seconds?

Yeah... that stands out, it's a happy video. 

[Ignatius]

Video is pretty cool. Love the behind the scenes footage.


369,000 views on YouTube. #30 on Trending. It'll probably get more views than Hard Skool.

[AdZ]

This video is fucking sick. Looks great, love that it's uploaded in 4K, slick and looks cool as fuck.

[cineater]

Oh that was so much better.     Axl's vocals come through clearly.  It was Dizzy's piano solo I liked. 

[kyrie]

#12 on trending now

[kyrie]

#9 trending on YT - cracking the top 10. I don't remember Hard Skool doing that but I could be wrong.

[PermissionToLand]

Glad they used footage from the latest leg of the tour, Axl has slimmed down and I dig his new outfit with the shiny pants.



He used to wear such diverse and modern looking clothing on the UYI tour, IDK what changed but I don't think the cowboy boots and jeans suit him.

[kunzerd]

So happy we’re out of the hat and sun glasses period.


And I have to say the cinematography here is great, and the level of detail in these shots is amazing. Wonder what camera / lens combo they went with.

Do you think they did all this shooting just for this video or could there be a concert film style doc covering the reformation? That’d be pretty interesting.

[JAEBALL]

Really like the song … love the video 

[crash_diet]

The video must only have been made in the last few weeks. There's a lot of footage from Glastonbury and Hyde Park.

...and Athens, Greece, too ... so excited to see it 😍

Is that Jarmo at 0:14?

[jarmo]

Is that Jarmo at 0:14?

No, looks like Sante D'Orazio to me.

[DeN]

that's great to have a real new video of the band.

we will probably only have live videos now but I would really like them to try videos with little stories like Since I Don't Have You for example

[oldfan]

good song, really like the video 

[poorlakers]

Enjoyed very much!

[gcluskey]

I think the days of big budget cinematic videos like Estranged and November Rain are gone. Not complaining though, live footage videos look amazing and they can be put together pretty quickly at a fraction of the cost.

Not necessarily. What cost a fortune back in the day tends to be a fair bit cheaper now. So maybe not "big budget" but cinematic, sure. You can only do so many live footage music videos after all.

One idea for Guns, something along the lines of Johnny Cash's video for his Hurt cover. Kind of a look back over the years. That could be interesting, to see how much the band has changed over time.

[cineater]

I'm liking the song a lot better from the video.  Maybe I clicked on the wrong thing when I first heard that garbled mess on the release.

Yes the video for 'Yesterdays' did that with the old pics of the band. This new one reminds me of the 'Paradise City' video with the black & white behind the scenes and live concert footage. Seeing them perform is really how I like seeing them anyway.

[Walapino]

Love the video and Perhaps is a grower!

Totally forgot they did that with Yesterdays. Though I think it would have more impact now that 30 years has passed since the 90s

On an unrelated note - the Perhaps video has passed 2M views on YT inside of four days.

[Axl4Prez2004]

LOVE the song.
Maybe I'm crazy, but don't the heavy lyrics of the song and the overall upbeat attitude of the band and crew seem to be a little discordant?

Yes, but the piano is kind of uplifting...

[ericy210]

I just saw them play perhaps last night in Chicago.  Live, it is so much better, st least to me. It’s actually great.
