new recordings from hard rock dinosaurs once again took a long time to materialise, particularly after the iconic musicians had rejoined Axl for live performances, but finally, Perhaps and The General, released in summer of 2023, offered a chance to hear renewed creative dialogue between the former and current line-ups: mid-tempo, piano-driven title track on first side recalls epic drama of Use Your Illusion era, with Axl showcasing his wide vocal range and Slash adding trademark bluesy guitar arrangement, while B side of the seven-inch single takes considerably darker, more atmospheric direction, employing heavy, brooding sound with psychedelic and trip-hop-inspired touches reminiscent of experimental Chinese Democracy period; nevertheless, both songs feature considerably more prominent guitar and bass presence, raising hopes for good things to come from the GN'R camp next; European black vinyl edition
