“Perhaps” features Guns N’ Roses’ signature sound, but with a more emotional twist. The song’s opening lyrics read, Perhaps I was wrong/ When I didn’t see you, hey, hey/ Perhaps I was wrong, hey/ When I don’t believe you. The video features various shots of the band performing and just being themselves.

Guns N’ Roses are releasing a limited-edition 7” vinyl version of “Perhaps,” which is available for pre-order now. The vinyl will be available for shipping starting October 26 for $15. The vinyl release of “Perhaps” will also feature an additional new song from the band titled “The General.”

Guns N’ Roses are currently on their 2023 Global Tour. The next scheduled show for the tour is tonight (August 18), which will see the band performing at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The band will also be traveling to several other major North American cities including Boston, Chicago, Nashville, Toronto, Houston, Phoenix, Seattle, and many more. Guns N’ Roses just finished touring in Europe, which included performances at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.

Guns N’ Roses’ lead guitarist Slash discussed the band’s legacy during a March 2022 interview with Louder. “I thought the band was fucking great. It would have been a band that I would have listened to had I not been in it,” Slash told the publication. “I would have had the T-shirt, right? But I saw it as being a cool cult band. I didn’t have any fantasies of it being anything super-huge.”
