The General Music Video Discussion Thread
Sweersa replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
That's one way to say it! -
I've been listening to my Japanese Perhaps CD in my vehicle. It gets awfully boring fast, more so than the previous single because they at least had two live songs with the two singles. It would have been better with Monsters, but Monsters is actually a good song, so maybe they want to feature it as a lead single for a future release with Atlas or something.

I don't think we got definitive proof of that, outside of Melissa's website saying Brain played on it. If it was Brain, they heavily processed the drums and sucked all the life out of them. -

There's a photo of the band from around 2009 with Brain in there. Maybe it was 2008. I don't think that particular tour happened though. this was before the Asian shows, when they were planning on having two drummers. -

I suppose, but isn't Frank more or less a touring member? He was on some of CD, and possibly Hard Skool? Brain still hangs out with the band too, so you never know. Melissa could probably have him bang out a song or two. -
Rank the GNR shows you’ve seen!

Shoot, I hadn't thought about the drums. So if they actually write and record new material, it will probably have Frank on drums. Could they call in Brain? -

Yeah, it's certainly an interesting thought. I believe the last time the band had any creative output of new material was the Bucket/Robin era. We have yet to be shown that not to be the case. -

If NITL actually writes and records new material, the Bucket and/or Finck argument wouldn't be valid, because those members were not involved in those songs. It's only a valid point for a CD-era re-worked tune, of course. -
I remember when Bumblefoot was playing that song, it was more than just an instrumental, it had some vocal melodies. This was before it was recorded and released. I wish GN'R recorded it, the raw version Bumble played was pretty good. I wasn't too fond of the final product, but I bet if Axl was on it and wrote most of the lyrics, it would be a pretty good Guns song for CD3 or whatever.

The dripfed process is near agonizing. I suppose it could be worse. The closest thing we had to the 2008 album was the 2019 leaks. I wonder how many, if any of these singles will even end up on an album or some sort of bastardized complication. Almost all of the songs are not mixed in a fashion that are suitable for an album, at least not together without being remixed and remastered. It's a damn shame we never got CD2. I hope, by some act of God or a fan crazier/more connected than me, we get it all leaked as it was in 2010 or whatever. I think that would be closure for a lot of people. The 2004-2014 CD2, remix album, and re-recorded AFD. That's what we need. -

I understand and can appreciate some vocal distortion, when used appropriately. (Like in Perhaps, on one line, which is also present in the 2000 mix) but for The General, it makes the lyrics in places unintelligible. I only understand most of the song now, despite no official lyrics being published, based on unofficial lyrics and discussions here on what Ax is singing. Makes production on 1999 Oh My God seem good. I wonder how much better the 2010 (or whatever) mixes were of these songs were from a production standpoint. I would imagine better based on the 2008 album vs reheated leftovers of NITL. -

I wonder if this video will get a Blu-ray release. Just kidding! Don't want to give them any ideas. -

No, it seems a majority of us dislike the video, including me. -

Yes but I think it was better as Soul Monster with Buckethead. -

The video would have been better with less or ideally no AI and the inclusion of Buckethead in some of the shots as it would have been fitting, especially if they restored some of his leads for the video. -

It was worse than I expected, and I had low expectations. The song that could have benefitted most from a lyric video, doesn't get one. Bummer. At least Fernando isn't in it!
