How disappointed would people be if they played The General tonight but not “Monsters” lol

That’s impossible. I read on this forum that they are the same song, so it must be true!    

I don’t follow a ton of bands, but you have to be following gnr for years for this comment to make sense

“We’re clearing things out — priming the pumps for things that have been around that we wanna get out and release before releasing new music," he says.

Some old dude with too much time on his hands spent countless hours determining every vocal syllable sound on the cellphone clip, then spliced together re-tuned Axl vocals primarily from the CD stems to make it seem like Axl was singing it. The instrumental was done much the same way, except the orchestra, which included old concert intro soundbytes overlayed with recreations from various other sound generators like FL Studio. Then, he replaced the Finck solo from the clip with some sweet Buckethead wankery (Track 3 of 2007's Cyborg Slunks).

It’s hilarious to me that I asked the question and everyone just waited for you to reply. After 20 plus years, I’m still such a  newbie. 

There was a fan made mix on YouTube a while back. Does any one have any idea how that had vocals on it ? Or just the the back story on how that was developed? 

Has anyone heard perhaps on their local rock radio stations? I haven’t heard it on local radio at all. 

Hey gnr. Release a song so I can buy it. I almost spent 7 bucks on a single play, just so  I heard it once . 

This is a top five night on the forum. No reason for history lesson. This shit is amazing.

Why do people keep asking to hear it after there’s been like 10 posts about going to SoundCloud to find it..

I’m kinda stupid and can’t find it 

I’m in Wisconsin USA so there’s bars everywhere cuz people love drinking here. However. I also love drinking and I can’t drive cuz I’ve been drinking. This feel like a twilight zone episode. Should I Uber ? 

Perhaps is off YouTube. That I can see.  The absurd release style release is a possibility. And if not, who really cares that much anyhow? Besides us.

Am I crazy to think the mix on this version sounds better than the one previously released?

I am completely tone deaf and have no musical talent so I’m probably not the guy to corroborate, but i noticed that too. Especially some of the guitar work.

I’m confused. The first post mentioned it was going to be on an NFL game tomorrow (there aren’t any NFL games tomorrow). Another post mentioned Monday Night Football, but tonight is Thursday…so what’s the deal? 
 

My bad. I heard hard skool on the broadcast tonight (Thursday night football). It’s just been a boring game and I mentally associated it with Monday night football. 

Over the broadcast on Monday night football as it cut to a commercial, They just played the opening guitar parts of hard skool 

Good point here. The reunion is over 5 years old. Clearly duff and slash weren’t made to do anything.

You do realize how much influence punk had on GnR right?  I mean they made a whole album or punk covers lol 

In so many ways this sounds like a spaghetti incident song recorded in 2021.  

Awesome story. 

quick follow up, does your dad like the song now ? 

One of the really interesting components here is the band’s strategy. It’s incredible to release a single that may or may not be connected to anything other than the tour. But it also makes sense in 2021. If you play a song live, most your fans are going to watch the cell recoding on YouTube. 
 

didn’t a former manager of the band say in an interview something to the affect that songs are basically free to the band. The tour is where the money is.  And then the same person said he could see a few singles released and then an EP. im not versed enough to make this up. Just thought I read it somewhere.
 

So the artwork and the signature on the single stand out. Because it seems like branding we will see again. 

There’s no way anyone expect this to be a commercial hit. I think they are posturing themselves as a band that’s making legit stuff and not streets of Los Angeles. Clearly. I could be wrong. But I think they are having fun and setting some expectations 

*proof read and left it. Wrong song title. Point exactly 

Packers favre Rodgers. I agree. I keep listening. 

This is shared reality, correct. This is happening, right. Confirmation needed 

Let’s not over react. Lots of musicians liked this song snd at least a few decided to play it.
