Just re-listened to the Eddie Trunk Interview when Baz gets Axl to come to the show from his rehearsal from 2006. He said on there that everything was done for the first 2 albums including Vocals and they were about half way done the 3rd album. It makes me believe even more that CD 2 was complete and all those tracks you named are just sitting there. Also if youve never listened to that interview its awesome, Axl tells a hilarious story about the leader singer of Great White, Chris Jericho is on as well, its pretty cool.

But a full-band studio version of it won't save its poor lyrics, boring chords, and overall average structure. It's up there with GNR's most forgettable songs ever.

To each their own, I love it. Chorus has been stuck in my head since Friday. Love the little slide guitar riff and dark theme.

Everyone has been so pleased with the new songs. It has united both fans of Chinese and fans of the class lineup. The band is also delighted that the fans get to hear the songs and everyone accepted their apology regarding the delayed release.

There has been a harmony on the forum that has not been seen for many a year.

Basically “The General” is the song the Wyld Stallions were attempting to write in the Bill and Ted movies

Official release pushed to early December by the band who announced they weren’t happy with quality of the records but are now. Debates over whether the leaks are demos or the finished things with Slash & Duff, just bad sound quality. Debates over the extent of Slash’s playing on the song with some arguing he isn’t on the leaks at all. Debates over whether both ‘Monsters’ and ‘The General’ will be released as one song or not. Debates about whether ‘Monsters’ is Monstrocity or Soul Monster or another renamed song. Debates about whether Axl has some scratch vocals on these. People who hate the songs implying people who like the songs are insane - arguments between the two camps. People saying that people who hear Slash on the leaks are nuts and vice versa. Speculation but nothing confirmed about who leaked the tracks or why. Some think the band did it secretly. Others think they’re nuts. Some wishing the band would go back to a more bluesy Slash style, including me.

I'm not belittling anything, I just find it very hard to believe. I've already expressed my opinion on them. I suppose the positive reactions are coming from people who thought the CD style was a good direction for the band.

I honestly liked them both as soon as I heard them, 100% knew The General would not be for everyone because of its super dark heavy theme, but at the same time if that’s not what you were somewhat expecting it to be, you weren’t paying attention to the buzz behind it.Monsters was just great surprise that I just like the more I listen to it.

“Prostitute” was an epic closing track too though.

Oh perfect closing track for CD, actually one of my favourite GNR tracks of all time. I loved CD as the opening track as well

I agree, especially with the “it’s over now” vocals. The 2000 Hardschool with the long intro would have been a great CD2 opener, or Zodiac 13 with that piano false intro. 

Yup, would love to see an alternate timeline where we got a CD II in 2010 with this exactly. It’s funny the VR comparisons for Monster which I totally got as well and i was no way a die hard VR fan but I always liked Loving the Alien as a closing track on Contraband

Monsters would be such a great way to end an album, just seems like it would have been the perfect closing track for CD II

I’m not saying you have any reason to lie at all. I apologize if it came off that way. However, more people than not who also had no reason to lie are saying in mass that it’s Slash, versus a handful of people who disagree, so it’s easier to trust the majority opinion here.

If you’re right, you’re right, but I’m not seeing the proof currently. But I will at least say if you’re correct about the quality then it’s an internal leaker and not a vinyl rip.

I’m no expert on guitarists at all either, but if you played the original intro to Hard Skool to me back in the day, the bluesy metal sound I would 100% thought it was Slash, but maybe that’s just me

I noticed for the first time during The General breakdown, you can hear frog sounds in the background.

Lol i noticed this the first day, Black Frog thats Axl label right?

Now that this is out, I would love to know who had heard it before today and where(cause I’m sure there is some people that have heard it before today) now that they won’t get berated with questions about the song

Or is it forgive?

Ya could be, either or sounds great

“One thing i regret, is that i never took the time to forget!” chills

These are great, exactly what i wanted to hear, cool guitar, awesome axl vocals, love them both

Hey whatever with the delay and if ya think the band owes fans nothing for constant support,sure that’s your opinion, but honestly at the bare minimum you can do is give us the reason and some insurance this is still a thing. Pressing plants are backed up to til Christmas, we had a legal thing come up that we needed to attend to before the release, we want to release it digitally at Halloween because it’s so suiting(maybe that is the case), but just out of the blue delaying the day before without an explanation is just kind of ridiculous to me

They post in the Indiana and Lafayette subreddits. it's currently 1:32 pm there

Strange he posted it over an hour ago and no one else has got a shipping notification, would bet it to be fake

I feel like they should change the name of the song to “The General and Trolls”

Days like this I wonder where some of the og members are at that always use to post, when it comes out I want to hear from Gunsguy, Kaneda,etc…. Fuck it bring Madison back just for old times sack
