We have all heard the title for nearly two decades like some of the other song titles we've heard years in advance, im interested to see if those songs lived up to your own hype hearing Baz talk about them or hearing they were a big gun. For example i was super excited to hear "Prostitute", finally hearing it sounded nothing like i thought it would, but still love the song, one of my favourites. "Sorry" another one was excited for for years, i was fairly disappointed with it. Hardschool/Jackie Chan/Checkmate hearing that clip back in the day, i believe after CD had already came out and was super stoked how that small clip sounded and when we finally got the leak and found out it was called HardSkool and got the chorus i was blown away, way better than i anticipated. I could name so more just interested to see what other peoples opinions were changed after they finally got to hear a song.

The thing about 'The General' is that if and when it comes out it will have a different name anyways. Brain said it was a working title based on the band eating Generals chicken at the time....so yea 100% fake.

Its on the setlist as The General, so im pretty sure thats what it is going to be called

Yes and "ok nevermind" is there too I heard

I love that version of “The Blues” and my only complaint about “Absurd” is they dont have the “Bitch like you” chorus in there

I dont really care that much but its not outside the realm of possibility we get it at midnight Est tonight like we got Absurd, i know other artists that dont release stuff in NZ and Aus on their Friday at midnight

It's crazy that they would delay this song release. Like what could be the hold up?  The song has to be done. I can't imagine there is going to be some giant marketing campaign for one song.  Even if there was a physical release delaying things it would be all online orders anyway so that would not hold anything up.

 

So many news outlets have already reported the song coming out, why would you want any bad press surrounding it?

 

Just a bizarre decision by universal if it actually is delayed 

Yup its being advertised so much this week that the casual fan might think to check it out, but by delaying it they will probably forget about it by next week

Honestly though as frustrating as it is they keep delaying it its a song weve had for like 3 years, now if it was The General and they pulled this….

By late 2011 Tommy said they had 22 unreleased songs by the time he was finished. It is not clear how many of these songs contained vocals (Tommy actually didn't know because Axl was working separately on vocals, and he would later say that Axl recorded vocals every year). This number is also smaller than the number of unreleased songs form the Village leaks (about 32-34), which indicates that the band had continued working and that some songs had been left behind (that they had continued working isn't news, we know that Scraped was added after the Village recordings and we know that many songs were worked on).

The big questions are of course how many songs have finished vocals and what Axl might have done after Tommy was finished.

Here's a summary of what has been said about unreleased music up to 2017: (50) 28. AUGUST 2008-FEBRUARY 2009: CHINESE DEMOCRACY IS RELEASED - Page 2 (a-4-d.com)

i think just based on stories ive heard from people i trust and had no reason to lie to me, there is more songs completed or close to being completed 20 years ago then what we’ve heard about, i have no idea about a number, but i definitely heard descriptions of songs with vocals that were not in the Village discs from credible source.

Forum vets will remember the 2003 rumor that Sarah Brightman recorded “haunting” background vocals for The General 😆

lol i was here, but dont remember that

It's named after Chinese food. There's a dodgy phone recording that may be the General. It's supposedly epic and parts of it were played during the show intro years ago.

But no one actually knows much. 

It may well end up being a terrible song.

i thought i remember hearing it was the third song of the trilogy that was November Rain and Esteanged, but i could be wrong

What if the new album is due tomorrow, but it's just a fifteen-minute rerecording of Rocket Queen and a thirty-minute rerecording of KOHD, do we take it?

When we got Hard School, Did it not show up in like New Zeland like 14 hours before it got the official release in the States? Im not sure about Absurd

This is the way. 

Lol yup, dont get excited to you physically see it, at the same time im only mildly excited for a remade Perhaps or Atlas, i will be immensely more excited if we found out we were getting The General for sure or even a finished State of Grace

The only thing that happens while GnR doesn't release anything, is me discovering more great music which makes me forget about GnR altogether 

At some point Axl must realize this is happening. I mean... most people also have a limited budget for going to shows.

What would you rather do? See GnR for the 10th time or see other artists which actually release new great stuff?

I'll see myself out 

LOL I actually like Hardy, but probably "Sold out" or his new song "Jack" is more up Guns N Roses fans alleys

I don't think anything is going to happen this year in terms of new music. They're very clearly promoting the UYI box, with this single and now the music video, and probably the November Rain 2022 single in November. This is pretty upsetting in my eyes, we've seen so much of AFD and UYI stuff that I think I'm really tired of all this shit lol. But there are positives:

1.) These songs have likely been uploaded or submitted in some form, so GNR is likely preparing a potential release, it's just not imminent, and we have a good idea of what the tracklist could be if it's true.

2.) They've already done AFD nostalgia tour, the UYI nostalgia era, after this where's there left to go? Either next year is the new music tour if they want to go back to the states again or the final tour. Can't see them touring everywhere again (minus South America which always loves GNR regardless) without something in the future.

Who knows with this band, I can get pretty negative about them, but I think right now we just gotta get through the UYI era re-tread and after, something new could surface next year, or 2024 if they take 2023 off.

The Spaghetti Incident Nostalgic era for the next 5 more years, which will be just in time for the 20 Anniversary of Chinese Democracy which will begin that nostalgic era tour with the new album coming out 2030…. makes sense in GNR thinking terms

So if this is to be a believed that everything was just uploaded the last 2 weeks, i mean i get it that spotify in other countries may uploaded it a different times, but seems strange that different tracks were showing up every couple of days, i want to believe it, but im on the fence.

Now getting Guns popping up when I type in Atlas here in Canada along with SOG, no Soul Monster, General though

Using “14 years” to market both the boxset and the new EPs lol

I expect many leaks to happen over the next couple of weeks.

People that been hoarding for trade purposes, about to lose its value so may as well Leak it

I'm Canadian we have no choice! I've actually seen them live 5 times dating back to 2004 and I've enjoyed all but 1 show. The 2017 show I saw just felt like it was lacking in comparison. 

That's the thing about that Canadian free health care. It's free. But shit is it a slow process. 

Yes i can vouche for you on this, also Nickleback fan, they are actually from a town like 2 hours from me

State Of Grace brings up Guns N Roses in Winnipeg Canada. Nothing on Atlas and General. 

I really want to be optimistic. 

Does it still? Mine did a couple hours ago and now just get Taylor Swift

Guns N Roses no longer pops up in Canada when I search State of Grace, did like an hour ago
