GNR 1991

This is about as accurate as one could make of The General. Great job! Didn’t even realize he was saying “it’s all burnt down” instead of “it’s over now”. Makes total sense.

Still discovering new bits like “it’s over” and final “it’s over now” at the very end of Monsters while Fortus or Slash is noodling away beautifully.

Has anyone done A/B comparison with the cell phone clip? The guitars gotta be different if this is Slash. Or is it?
 

listening to cell clip now I can very clearly hear “I was there for you/it’s all I could do/oh but it’s over now” lol

I really hope Axl thinks better of the vocal effects on the “chorus” of The General. I can’t make out any of the words and there sounds to be a solid falsetto track completely buried in effects.

So were those Buenos Aires and Porto Alegre 2022 rehearsals just jams or different songs?

I was there for you

It’s all I could dooooo

Oh, but it’s over now!

It’s crazy how shitty these mixes sound. I’m excited to keep listening but the quality is the shits. Hoping these are just  rough, unmastered and not final.

Anyone else gonna miss “who would do this to you?” from Evader’s version? Im not used to the real version lol

Monsters is fucking awesome. Need to listen harder for lyrics though 

At work and didn’t bring AirPods so I’m listening to the fucking General in my car

Maybe somebody should change the title of this thread

Good idea @Blackstar

Love to wait until the day before it’s supposed to ship to announce this. I hope it leaks asap. Excitement deflated and derailed.

Now they never have to play it live lol fuck this band 

Just got the email. It’s been delayed.

So if this is getting a digital release tomorrow, it should appear on streaming platforms for New Zealand in about 6.5 hours.

Did anyone’s vinyl ship?

We knew about this song before the track list became available. It was published on BMI.

& what was the time span between BMI publishing and the track list leaking? Same general timeframe of mid to late 2008 right? Splitting hairs lol

Scraped (Lies They Tell) is the only song on CD that we didn’t know about prior to the track list becoming available.

Was it listed by it's full title or just If?

“If”

yo  @LeviSnuts have you heard The General and Monsters yet?

welcome back btw

There was no expedite shipping option for the vinyl huh?

I think it would be funny if the song was only 3.5-4 mins long. People might lose their shit.

Look at the past three releases, none of them even get to the 4 min mark. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the same case for The General. 

That email leaked wayyyyy before 2019 and the locker leaks. No point arguing that.
