    If it’s legit (and it should be) then we can expect some guitar duets with Billy Gibbons and Gary Clarke Jr. maybe

    How is it?

    Sorry, edited my post. But its super old school blues. Like, youd hear it at an old bar. But its fun and upbeat. Doesnt strike me as very slash-y or brian johnson (surely not the ac/dc brian) but quite enjoyable!

    Love both songs, and together think it's a masterpiece.  

    My take is that The General is about abuse from Axl's father/stepfather and Monsters is about some sort of abuse from his mom, or perhaps even both sets of parents (Dynamic duo keep your figure crashing).  I also think that when he sings "Oh but it's over now" it's actually in relief, like "oh thank god this nightmare is finally over." Hence, this is why the chorus sounds almost uplifting and the lead guitar from slash is also upbeat or happy.  

    Lastly, I think the entire outro solo is extremely bluesy and is Slash and not a mix of Slash and Fortus. 

    I got the impression the general is primarily from axl's perspective during that time, where monsters is moreso about his mum's lack of comforting efforts about the situation. Like "i was there for you, it was all i could do. Well its over now" (stop dwelling on it, i did the best i could) kind of thing - with axl being displeased at his mum's disinterest to ackowledge it her fault.

    How exactly did everyone fall into the belief that it would be digitally released on Friday? No official word from anyone yet here you all are shocked something didn’t happen that no one said would. 

    I mean the physical copy is releasing today (apparently the UK store said 'releases'). It's a pretty reasonable assumption it would also release digitally. It's also a friday, which is seemingly when new music is released.

    The General's at the door (no way)
