7" preordered this morning. I also have a question out of curiosity, not sure if it's worth opening its own thread, so I'm posting here first since it's kinda related. Does anyone (maybe @SoulMonster and @Blackstar have this info in the a4d archive?) remember where/when we heard the title 'The General' for the first time? I remember Sebastian Bach talking about it before CD was released, I'd say 2007 or early 2008, but I don't remember if we had ever heard the title before that. EDIT: I checked the song archive on a4d and apparently it was first mentioned by Beltrami in 2002 https://www.a-4-d.com/t7987-the-general Thank you for the great work!

I think they are going to play it live before the release only if they are actually releasing it very soon after, like they did with Absurd. Think about it: they are currently wiping all the Perhaps leaks from YouTube. It means that once the song gets released and a little buzz about it starts, they want people to find the official version online, not the leak. And if they don't want them to hear the leak, they most likely don't want people listen to subpar live versions either (which would be the only things available if they play it before the release).

Here in Italy the cd is still in print and easily purchasable as a mid-price. Vinyl, on the other hand, has been out of print for a few years now and I'm happy I could grab a copy (of the European edition, which sounds very good. I read that the US version has horrible groove distortion) before the prices skyrocketed.

Am I the only one hoping they bring out Bubbles for Liquor & Whores rather than KOHD? 😅 -
The one that leaked is mostly made up of hip hop loops and instrumental parts from Prostitute, so I guess it was just supposed to be counted as a remix. I wonder if the words "blood in the water" are present exactly in that form in an unreleased track we don't know about or they have been culled from different songs (or different verses of a same song) and sewed together.

And now something a bit unpopular I think the vocal melody in the Eye On You chorus is really good and catchy. That could be stripped of all the 90s synths that didn't exactly age well and turned into a decent rock song. Of course, it would need some verses and the "ah ah" vocals recycled for Hard Skool might mean that the song was completely abandoned, but then again, if these guys dusted off a revamped Silkworms/Absurd as their first post-reunion new music it means that you never know.
