The song sounds both like a <em>Chinese Democracy<\/em> deep cut and a fresh take on the band\u2019s classic sound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cNothin\u2019,\u201d in some ways feels more like a departure. The track opens with a piano line that sounds like it could have leaked off a Wings album before Slash\u2019s guitar transforms it into GN\u2019R\u2019s recognizable sound. His guitar whines and sighs behind Rose\u2019s voice, as the frontman sings about feeling like he needs to be saved. Slash\u2019s solo halfway through transforms what might have been an R&amp;B-leaning, classic-rock ballad into something more dramatic and special.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Guns N&#039; Roses - Nothin&#039; (Official Visualizer)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gJng5qD7Nhw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBoth songs came out unceremoniously via a leak of the band\u2019s music in 2019.
