a lot of interesting GNR stories & VR ones, recording Locomotive & Shotgun Blues, November Rain & Estranged as a one 20 minutes long song, how Izzy wrote half of UYI stuff, the RNR Hall of Fame etc

didn't want to open a new thread about it but there's this long new interview of Matt here :

GNR fanatics : "oh god, where's the rasp in Axl voice these days, I miss 1993" also GNR fanatics : "damn, that voice has too much rasp in The General"

awesome that they played it, and it was a very good performance, very close to what we have. kudos to the band. I never bought the "General & Monsters are the same song" theory so I'm not too surprised they didn't follow up with Monsters. of course I don't know if they accurately finished the song live compared to the studio version but it sounds pretty abrupt to me, I hope it's different on the finale studio version. "short" song finally, I imagined the definitive thing around 7 minutes. I wonder if that means Monsters will never be released? it looks like it.

BREAKING NEWS : all these topic name changes will be compiled in a novel by Blackstar at the end of December

Monsters sounds way better that way than throught a phone and that's my review. The General is a different beast, nothing like GNR has done before, kinda amazing

how do you say "The General is still coming, but in your ass!" in portuguese?

I voted but it was just to show solidarity with the less enlightened minds on this forum

don't want any problem sorry... but that's a nice email, very well done, I hope everyone will receive it, only one very annoying part : the date

I've received it mofos!!!! I've received it !!!!* *the email

1993 : Axl Rose not showing up on stage 2023 : music itself not showing up 125% improvement

Guns N' Roses - "The General" The "R" side is an epic rock monster that sees Guns N' Roses returning to their roots. The track opens with a haunting and melodic guitar riff from Slash, reminiscent of the "November Rain" intro but with a louder edge that sets the tone for the entire track. Axl Rose's signature voice soon cuts through, raw and passionate,come in with powerful, emotional lyrics that tell a gripping story. The chorus is anthemic and catchy and Duff McKagan's bass line drives the song forward, providing a strong backbone. And just when you think the song has given all it can, an explosive guitar solo from Slash. The guitar weeps and wails, making listeners feel the anguish and triumph of the general's journey. By the end, the tempo slows down, and Axl's voice becomes a whisper, concluding the tale with a poignant reminder of the costs of war. The track captures the essence of classic Guns N' Roses while exploring new thematic territory, a true testament to the band's enduring talent and artistry. "The General" is a song that combines the raw energy of their earlier work with a more mature and introspective lyrical theme. It touches on themes of rebellion, unity, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. The chorus is incredibly catchy, making it a potential anthem for fans and music enthusiasts alike. Chad Gary-Paige Taylor, for Idontexist Magazine

my good buddy at Universal says hi

oh yes we know. they sounded like trumpets.

SPOILER ALERT

Faith No More is probably the best band of this era, Angel Dust is way more imaginative than Nevermind, for example. and basically no one can go near Mike Patton vocally, he's a beast. so that was fun to see them play before Guns and after Soundgarden at Vincennes. cool reaction from Axl considering all the shit he was dealing with

I think we'll have both. (singles of "old" material, then maybe an EP with all of them) AND a full new album by the original guys.

you can read the whole thing hitting hard the escape key of your keyboard before the page load this bullshit

leak the goddamn trumpet song already

OK I had a listen to one good minute of The General. all I can say is, mark my word, there is no god damn trumpet on it.
