Saw them a few days ago. Didn't like the set list too much, and I felt it was a rather short show. The singer seemed a bit dumb, when someone from the crowd handed him a wallet that someone must've lost in the pit. He was like "Why do you want to give me money?" and just gave it back. It still was a good night though, I'll go see them again if they come back to my city. The opener, SNAYX, was fun too.

Out since yesterday!  Any thoughts? 

I've listened to it only twice so far. Only really liked the singles and was a bit disappointed by the rest. Maybe it just needs some time. Still really looking forward to seeing them live next month though!

I recently got into them as well. I've heard they are great live, and I'm going to see them on their upcoming tour. Really looking forward to it!

When I first heard the leak, I was a bit disappointed. No wonder though, considering the exceptions I had. Just as the other NITL releases, the song suffers from repetitiveness. Especially The General and Perhaps would have greatly benefitted from more lyrics or a little change up in the structure. Perhaps could've been a 10/10 song for me, if it weren't for the copy and paste shit. The final version of The General also really doesn't sound good. I feel like the leak had more punch?! I don't know what clipping is and therefore don't hear it ( I think), and I'd rather not find out because that would probably ruin the song completely.

That said, I still like the song. It really grew on me since the leak. I like the sinister vibe, the outro is great and overall the song is really catchy. Chinese Democracy is probably my favourite album of all time, and while TG doesn't compare to songs like TWAT, Prostitute or CITR, it still scratches an itch for me.  I'm a bit surprised that the reception on the forum is that horrible. I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but worse than My World? Well, each to their own.

I'm glad I cancelled the Vinyl, though, especially after seeing what they did to the cover. God, this band. How I wish I didn't love GnR the way I do. Music life would be so much better if I was on a Metallica forum instead.

I will remove this link if Mods want but it's just made from bootleg audio found on youtube (from around 5 or 6 shows)

Awesome, thank you! I really hope it will be more prominent in the official release.

Can the long instrumental intro from 2006 still be found somewhere? I can't find it on YouTube anymore.

Having children can change one’s perspective on a lot of things. Would you prefer Duff not have this outlook after having daughters? People grow and change and sometimes it takes life events to prompt positive changes and outlooks. This can include reform through prison or related programs, mentorship, finding Jesus, a partner, having children, etc. If anything, it shows he’s a dynamic person.

I think nobody would say it's a bad thing to have a change in perspective due to having daughters. The point is why are some people such incredible scumbags before? Why do they only change for the better once that such behaviour from another man could affect your own life?

I know a guy who used to say utterly disgusting things about women. Not aware of him abusing women, but with that attitude it wouldn't have surprised me. Now after having a daughter he became really protective and completely stopped talking the way he used to. Great, I guess. But it really shouldn't be so hard not to treat women like trash before having a daughter.

There are a couple of vocal isolation tracks and instrumentals available, I assume these are just AI manipulated tracks? Not actual leaks... 

Are they worth looking out for?

Eh you guys, somebody has downloaded those, right? I can't at the moment

What the fuck

You're not alone, apparently only half of vinyl record owners actually own a vinyl player.

Despite youtube, the reality is they're more targeted for hipsters and boomers who couldn't operate a walkman than audiophiles.

I'm actually not joking.

 

Well yeah. I was going to buy the vinyl (would've been my first one) to support the band, but I'll guess they'll have to do with the hundreds of euros I spend on their concert tickets.

You could always but a record player (which requires much more than just the turntable itself). What kind of "fan" are you? 

Not sure if this is a joke or not. I'll buy the digital version if they let me.

Maybe they just didn't update the UK and USA pages and it's been postponed there as well. I'm pissed they didn't even send a mail that the release was postponed in Germany, so I canceled the order. Don't have a vinyl player anyway.

AI doenst even get songs right that were released 20 years ago. Are we really that bored right now?

We could be just one month away from hearing finished Atlas and SOG....or at least a fuller EP with live tracks from the '23 tour....I'm mean they love a double dip, so surely they'll be something at the very least...Thanksgiving weekend....xmas shopping time...it's a no brainer...license to print $. It's all done ready to go!

Or maybe just new GNFNR bed covers in the shop, guess we will see....

Wouldn't it be announced and up for presale by now though? I don't know, a release at this point doesn't really make any sense to me.

I'm afraid it forum can crash the next friday 🙏

This place will be so pissed off if we don't get to hear it that day.

Wanted to go back to listen to the Vienna phone recording. Seems like I lost it, which is too bad. Too baaad.

It’s just if it was THAT good, how was it left off the record? We’ll find out soon!

I'm not worried for this reason. If the plan back in 2008 was to release further albums of CD material, The General could have easily been saved for a second record. But yeah, hopefully we'll find out soon.

Man, what if the song just sucks? Lol

I am so scared of that. CD is my favourite album ever, and I'm longing for another song like TWAT, Madagascar, Prostitute or Catcher so badly that I don't know how I could get over The General being shite. I know, it's only music and life goes on, but man...

I really hope we will hear it this week. The theories are getting crazier by the day.

This band... If this is true I'll cancel my order I guess.

The wait for this is becoming unbearable 

I"m not gonna go to any of the shows so it's gonna be an awful month and a half to come

The wait is indeed becoming unbearable. The last time an upcoming release made me feel like this was in 2008... Wish they didn't starve us like that.

Wait....I have to buy a record player to listen to The General....in 2023?!?

No, you don't.

Where are you guys hearing it? I've been on Q104.3 for some time now but it doesn't come up.
