dogman Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hmm interesting song. Definitely love the style in which Axl sings, agree that it's very UYIish. Many parts of the way Axl sings and the effects on his voice remind me of Locomotive, especially from 2:50-3:05. Also, the chorus is pretty cool. HOWEVER, I can't help but get an N'Sync or Backstreet Boys vibe from the whole song. I think it's that piano riff and the Hey Heys. If I wasn't getting this vibe, I would say this song is killer, but I just can't shake the boy band vibe from this track. Hope the finished product gets rid of the piano riff. Maybe replace it with an altered version on guitar. LOVE SOG though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember anyone ever saying that, it was just sort of like one day everyone knew it was The General. IIRC, the Guns N' Roses Twitter account confirmed the orchestral piece played before shows was The General. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good question actually haha I never really thought about that, where did it come from? It is just that the orchestration was our best guess so our guess became "fact"?

jdh Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) I get a Faith No More vibe on this track. Like "Everything's Ruined" off Angel Dust. Edited September 14, 2019 by jdh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 3 hours ago, TeeJay410 said: I was always skeptical of this theory until these songs started leaking and it was clear the music was there. Axl was ready to roll. They gambled by punting, hoping slash would return, never thinking that Axl would legitimately hold out for nearly 10 years. 3 hours ago, TeeJay410 said: How the fuck does this song not make the album? The only explanation was that he honest to God thought he was going to release two albums. Maybe Axl was always right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were using it as an intro in 2001 surely they’d have at least a rough instrumental track done for it from these sessions not much more than a year earlier.
