I like both songs a lot. I hope they’re two separate songs. Monsters could actually be a hit. The general is more of a fan track

Yeah Monsters has potential. Are we assuming these leaks are from someone transferring the sound from the aborted Vinyl pressings?? Hopefully as the sound quality should be better for the actual release.

Interesting artwork for tonight's show:

It's October 27th, who knows? They may debut The General live tonight & put it afterwards on Youtube, fingers crossed. Didn't they do something similar with Absurd?

I find the artwork telling, could be wrong.

Possible but that artwork is of a miner.

Heard the “leaks”. Probably fake but honestly very convincing. Hats off to whoever did it. If this was real wouldn’t even be upset. 

Where does one hear the leak??

All this fuss about a song that nobody has any proof even exists.  Its mere mention as a B side was clearly a ploy to move more units of Perhaps and drum up some interest in the (oddly added) end of tour shows which may likely be the last with this line-up.....

At this point and barring returning with a brand new album, they can stay away for a long long time after all this BS imo.

It obviously hasn't been pressed yet.

Then they should have obviously told people way before the listed ship date that they’re full of shit.

Buy it and see what happens, lol. This band is so fucking incompetent.

Ha no shit. They forgot Perhaps on the jukebox. Our only hope is a warehouse somewhere actually had the vinyl and will accidentally ship it out to some people.

I feel the exact same way. the ONLY way it makes sense for them to do that, is if indeed they plan a midnight digital release. Then i wouldn't be so upset about the vinyl version being delayed the day of or day before

Yeah the only way they aren’t complete assholes about this is IF they are still going to release this digitally at 12AM EDT tonight. Highly unlikely but that would be the only excuse for this bullshit.

GNR uploaded a San Antonio insta post 50 minutes ago and every single comment is 'Release The General'... this is going to play right into their hands when it's released isn't it...🤦🏻‍♂️

Why are those dumbasses posting bullshit about a concert that was literally  a month ago?? They deserve being called out of for their ineptitude and general douchebaggery.

Both fucking retarded.

But threatening to kick someone's ass on the internet because a vinyl with 2 songs was delayed is the most psychotic, pathetic and ridiculous thing I've ever witnessed online 

No, it’s not. Lower the hyperbole.

I just canceled my order. Not playing this game. 

Me neither. Was going to buy tickets to at least one night at the Hollywood Bowl. No interest anymore after this fucking ridiculousness.

Well at least we have the warehouse address now. Someone go get a copy.

Just got the email. It’s been delayed.

Unless you’re in the USA I’m skeptical it’s been delayed in general…

Edit. Nevermind haha. If this isn’t released tomorrow on streaming to make up for this physical delay…fuck this band. Pathetic.

Why would you be getting a confirmation of shipping? The release date is the 27th of October, it's currently the 26th of October. 

The shipping date is listed as October 26 on GNR’s own merch site.

I don't get why people defend the band in these situations. 

They set themselves up for failure time and time again by not communicating anything. 

I don't think there's any other band that has this many issues releasing a song. For most other bands they'd just pick a release date, communicate it, clarify any confusion, release. 

It’ll be the first official release that nobody has heard before in 15 years, right? Even 15 years ago, only a few of those songs had never been heard before by the time the album was released. Axl runs such a laughably pathetic operation 🤦🏻‍♂️

You know, I share a common point with Axl. It took me a long time to realize it, but my maid is brazilian. I took care of his son several times and give her gifts for him from time to time.

They're among the nicest people I know.

If anything, Beta and Fernando clearly are very nice people who took care of a lot of things and hadn't they been here, I don't think there'd be anything regarding Guns as of now. Axl may have auto-destroyed himself. You should thank them instead of small cheap attacks like this.

This vinyl is partly for the money, for everyone involved, maybe. So what? They all deserve it. And I doubt it'll be a big source of income.

🤔 Why did this take you a long time to realize? Odd posts today.

I'd bet there's not a lot of Paramore fans around here but here's an example of one of their tracks only being released on a 7" and never anywhere else, so it does happen. 

 

It makes more sense for that to happen to a cover song than an original. Especially one that has been seemingly praised/hyped.
 

Is Sebastian Bach the only one who praised it? He’s also currently on The Masked Singer tv show dressed as a large Tiki if you’re wondering about his judgement…

They post in the Indiana and Lafayette subreddits. it's currently 1:32 pm there, 26 October. Trolling, or they're lucky to have their copy shipped out  early?

It’s technically not early as GNR’s own merch store still says it’s supposed to ship today, but the fact they post exactly where Axl is from makes me think they may just be a stalker/troll. I imagine others will be getter their tracking soon if it’s legit.

Someone on the GNR subreddit claims they just got their shipping notification:

 

Do they have any history of normal posts? 

Too bad this article from SPIN wasn’t accurate. It listed The General as coming out on October 23.

Just for reference my Stones order from UMG didn’t ship until the Monday after the release 

Not a great sign for UMG, although I imagine the quantity ordered for that item would have been a lot higher than this perhaps vinyl.

If I don’t get the shipping confirmation email tomorrow I’m not sure if I’ll laugh or cry. 

Does anyone know who handles shipping/distribution for items from the GNR store? Where past items ordered have shipped from?

Great decision by the band. Lose free publicity and additional streaming revenue in a trade off for fans listening to the song for free anyways with none of the above. Genius. Just absolutely brilliant.

The band (Axl and his minions to be accurate) are dipshits. Disappointing but definitely not surprising at this point. 

5 minutes ago, jacdaniel said:

It's only a matter of time until someone gets their vinyl and rips a copy and then we'll all be listening to that version. 

Probably not what the band intended but that's what'll happen. 

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone received their vinyl today and hopefully spread the song to all those interested.

A Marvel movie being a huge blockbuster earning many many millions more than a Scorsese movie is not really because of being better

New GNR wasn’t a Scorsese film. It was a Marvel sequel missing some huge stars from the original hit and it was being sponsored by Monster energy.

Has Slash sold stadiums in the last 7 years?

 

Yes, he’s been doing it the last 7 years now that he’s back in GNR. You know the band he helped bring to prominence. Unfortunately the name had been incredibly mismanaged for 16 years but his return helped right many wrongs. Unfortunately actual new music hasn’t been one of the things accomplished since then, but that’s not his fault.
