MANEK

Ya know, the first time I heard Estranged or Coma I didn’t realize they would be classics (classics to me anyway).

Complete bullshit. The "General" in the title is not a reference to a military General but the title was taken from General Tso's Chicken lol, which I think Buckethead was eating in the studio at the time? It's funny they never changed that song title after that and are releasing it as is.

I know I didn’t make that up though, all this shit is so long ago and so much bullshit has been said. Also, I remembering back I thought it was the verses of twat that were initially about child abuse and then later changed. All this shit is kinda coming back to me but I’m probably remembering wrong. 

I know people keep mentioning it’s about child abuse, but I remember before CD was released a stripper from a club saying Axl played some songs and one was about a General in the military (there was some description about the lyrics). Did that turn out to be bs? 

It’s a celebration, bitches!

Ok, I listened to it a couple of times. It's simply not a good song to my ears and will be quickly forgotten by the general public, imo.

Slash really doesn't seem to give a fuck here again and the "false start" with Robin's guitar totally sounds like an error, this can't be an artistic choice?!

Is it possible that this got fixed in the meantime? I guess so.

I don’t agree. I think this one sounds very GN’R. You should go hang out on your Olivia Rodrigo forum

What? Where did you get any of this from?

Fair play, then, because I don’t give a fuck what you think about what I post.

Haha, cause nobody does 

Im really just breakin balls, no offense intended

Is Slash being "asked" to work on these songs? By anyone? Him and Duff just randomly decided to do it during the pandemic when they had nothing else to do (obviously without Axl really being on board, considering Axl's reluctance to do anything new for the songs). 

That makes it worse to me. Volunteering to do a songs knowing you won't put effort in it at all, while over writing another guitarists solo that was better than yours.

That’s just like your opinion, man

but nothing really that sticks in your ear. like estranged, or civil war, or dont cry, or scom...

Eh, I disagree. Nevertheless   I spent my life playing  music in LA influenced by Slash though, so don’t think I’m a douche

it is astonishing that CD only had two really memorable and great guitar solos (twat and til). especially when you had players like bucket in the mix.

but.. it shows that technical skilled players rarely come up with anything memorable compared to players like slash

Mmm, the solos were great to me

This happens all the time, but in this case I just don't think his solo was particularly great... It doesn't really do anything for the song. Not awful, not that much better/worse than the demo.

End of the day the demo is an unfinished work until it's not, so no point getting hung up on it 

 But the solo on it from before was blah anyway

Once spend years talking to someone at a forum, then you'll care. 

Well stop doing that shit 

Just now, rumandraisin said:

I keep rewinding thinking no way could anyone have signed off on this? 

Is it possible it's an in joke because of how many people keep saying "I hope Robin and Buckets parts are left on the songs". So they've left litterally 2 seconds of Robins solo. 

Listening to it from the ‘jukebox’ at the ‘ bar’ I was not distracted by it at all. It’s good and fine and if you didn’t hear the previous leak you’d never think twice about it, in my humble opinion

Thanks for the kind words, I sometimes start wondering myself 

And yes, I am Soul Monster from newgnr.com, too.

Happy to hear I am not solely responsible for driving OG away

 

Come on guys, nobody cares

Just now, F*ck Fear said:

Of course a new song comes out in total GNR fashion, it's not a normal release.

I do look forward to hearing Perhaps, though!

I kinda love it

No I was definitely not referring to you. Because even if you argue, you do it with high level of logic. We might agree or not.

And you're definitely not a troll. The troll in question knows exactly I was describing him. And I think that's enough for him to STFU.

I know you since at least 2009 if you're the same SoulMonster of CD.com/NewGnr.com

Wait what, you talkin to me Willis?

2 minutes ago, ©GnrPersia said:

forget the troll fueling fight between me and you. I'm actually happy that it kind of made its way somewhere even if handled with mess.

Hope to see it soon on streaming platforms.

Cheers mate. 

Yes, I agree. It’s always fucked up and delayed and I whatever else, and I kinda love it haha

Just now, ©GnrPersia said:

I wish the same from the bottom of my heart.

It’s on! Loving the song, no reason to be a downer right now, come on!

Just now, ©GnrPersia said:

So it's not released. Now cut the bullshit.

Of course it is??? Are you dumb? I just listened to it!

Just now, ©GnrPersia said:

Is it released?

Yes, I just went and listened to it. Perhaps you were wrong, perhaps you were wrong

Still valid. ^

Double down on dumb, nice

why would they make it like that for "stylistic" reasons?

Man, I don’t know but Axl used to wear a catchers vest on stage, this band is crazy and I still love this shit

Thank you for not being as dumb as some others here. Still can't believe there's people that think Absurds vocal was an error 

Yup, someone does actually listen before it’s released haha

Maybe it's time to change the title of this thread one more time.

I just heard TouchTunes removed Perhaps from their system.

Still available for me

Not sure how people think this song is good. I’m still waiting for the “Big Guns”. 

Nothing good came out of this band since the UYI era.

I like it 

Again, nobody cares if your wife/girlfriend thinks it’s crazy that you care
