It's true. The Stones haven't had a hit song in 40+ years and Axl Rose is about to release an epic masterpiece, which could potentially be the greatest song ever recorded, called the General. Just hoping Slash doesn't screw up the solo like he did in Perhaps. I have zero interest in new Rolling Stones material, but I anticipate listening to the General maybe 1 million times.
"The greatest song ever recorded"?
You just made wish the song is nothing but fart noises.- 2

Could be another rejected GNR song.
I think he means the song "Hope", which was on Beautiful Disease (Duff's second solo album, which was never released officially).

Some people are always ready to mock and jab others (always "light-heartedly", of course), but go apeshit, when somebody else does the same to them.

When was the PERHAPS EP supposed to ship again? End of October? I can’t even remember. It will be hilarious when my vinyl arrives. I have no way of playing it. I will only be able to stare at side R with “The General” on it. LOL.
I hope it’s released to streaming sites same time.
I need to go to my local library to play it

Of course they won't release it digitally. They rather have people rip it and upload it to Youtube and not have any streams on their official channel(s)
Oh, but wait...
That actual sounds pretty on brand for this band
-
Oh, I'm gonna buy it.
Not.

I just hope that it's a well arranged song. Not that Guns ever had this problem (in my opinion), but some other older bands put out songs that seem to be long just for the sake of them being long. There's plenty to do in 5:00 minutes, you don't necessarily need 7 minutes to be epic.
But like I said, lengthy songs by Guns have always been great and the length has been justified.

Some people really overthink (or underthink) this B-side thing

This is not a dig at you, W. Axl Kev, but this comment reminded of an old, old comment someone posted here before Chinese Democracy came out.
People were wondering how can the band be so slow and how can it take so long to release an album or something like that and someone responded "these are some of the hardest working men on the planet" and urged others to show respect

The funny thing is, it doesn't sound like that in person. Recordings make it sound like he's just meekly squeaking out a thin sound, and that's all the phone and camera mics pick up, but hearing it straight from the PA, you can tell how much air he's actually pushing out physically.
That's great to hear!
It's understandable that stuff gets lost when sound is recorded with a phone and uploaded on Youtube as is
-
That falsetto sounds thin and shot, but his low voice sounds REALLY good! Especially on Nightrain
And on Absurd, Bad Obsession, Pretty Tied Up etc. When it comes to his baritone, there is still plenty of gas in the tank
Axl should use it as much as he can. It sounds great. Vicious, pissed off and powerful.

Imagine them taking a break and then coming back on tour without new music. They better bring in Izzy and Steven full time if they wanna sell shows by then.

At this point, I believe more in a new Gn'R album than a new Aerosmith album
Both would be dope, though

That's what rehearsals are for.
Someone should tell Axl that it's NOT cool or edgy to mess around like this on stage instead of the rehearsal room.
How about showing some respect for the ticket buyers?
Definitely.
Plus I think rehearsing would make singing new songs more enjoyable for him. I do open mics and small gigs every now and then, and I would be scared shitless if I didn't know my way around the songs and it would be embarrassing to start testing shit while performing. (Granted, I'm not Axl Rose nor do I have the balls of a rockstar.) How can you be so nonchalant when it comes to performing your newest single?
And I'm not trying to be negative or shit on him or the band. It's just a shame that they're not quite there where they could be with the song live
-
Yikes! That live version doesn't do the song justice. Well, the vocals don't. Instrumentally it's fine.
It might sound better if Melissa would handle those "hey hey's" on the verses. I don't know. Axl is all over the place and it doesn't sound as good as it could. They need to do some vocal arranging.
These new songs would be a perfect opportunity to craft material for his current voice

The good thing with all those reactions for Perhaps is that it brings attention to the band, something they never got since their prime.
This could be a turning point form them looking more seriously into releasing stuff. We cant deny Perhaps is their most successful release in a long long time, and all those reactions are just part of that.Yeah, definitely. Although, they are doing well enough just touring, but they should strike when the iron is hot and try to seize this momentum. It would be nice to see as a fan.

I hate those "exaggerated facial expression, slapping my forehead" thumbnails. Funny faces, easy content, short attention spans... This whole global internet culture is infantilizing us all
But cool to hear/see that casuals are liking the song

Yep, it does take a few listens, but when it clicks, it clicks

Perhaps is weirdly catchy. I've caught myself humming it sooo many times during this weekend. The demo sounded good, but it wasn't this catchy and I thought that the official version wouldn't be either, but here we are.
(Well, maybe "addictive" is more descriptive than "catchy".)- 4

Guys I just dug out one of my Dad's old classical 7" and the B side played for 7mins 15 seconds I timed it. If the vinyl is 33rpm it can hold 7 mins ish...so it could still be a sort of There Was A Time length ish and that be pretty Epic....it has time for a long intro, numerous verses and a long ass solo and coda, so ..
Or it could be around 5 minutes which can feel long, If the song is a slow grinding screaming tune. I want the next Coma as much as the next dude but a great song is more important than length, let's hope for that first and foremost...agreed?
I think 5 or 5:30 minutes could be a perfect length. It obviously depends on the song itself, but you can do a lot in 5 minutes. I'd rather have a tight song that leaves you wanting more, than a song that overstays its' welcome. Not that that has ever been an issue with GnR's epics.

They will. It's just they are releasing both on a vinyl together, as vinyl is 2 sided. Hence the G side and the R side ( same happened with the UYI albums..... )
Yeah. The General will probably be marketed as a new single like Perhaps. It's probably a "B-side" on the vinyl just because Perhaps came out first.

Nah.
Music doesn't need to be "perfect".
I want to hear the wear and tear in singers' voices as they get older.

From what I can see regular people are really enjoying the song. Not sure if hardskool would’ve this much praise cause in the end, it just sounds like a washed up hard rock song. Perhaps on the other hand, has that Illusions feel that soccer moms and casuls love and that kind of became a trademark for GNR with NR and Estranged.
This.
Hard Skool is a fun ditty, but Perhaps hits you more in the heart.
It sounds like a modern Illusions-type song, which is more in line with their progression, age and status these days.
It's a song casuals can take seriously, which I think is a major reason why it's been so well recieved
