I haven't listened to mine copy yet but it's one with pixel issues on the cover.

User a: The General is the weskest song ever. My World and Absurd are classics in comparison. User b: That's only your opinion. That's not a fact. You and your mullet, you're stuck in the 80s. User a: That clipping, how can't you hear that clipping. They're amateurs. It sounds like what a garage band would came up with. User b: It's a profound topic for Axl. It's great. Go listen to AFD, you're stuck in the 80s User c: Now we have to wait for Oklahoma, Eyes On You, Nothing and Atlas Shrugged. Probably next month? User d: That's all rock music: rockers, ballads, blues techno. It's all the same genre Sweersa: Where are the demos with Robin and Buckethead? Wtf happened to this thread

I think both, TSI and 5 o'clock are perfectly mixed and mastered.

I know you know it better and you're acting like a little bitch just out of fun to provoke some people here. And I know it's your disappointment which led you do this and it's ok but c'mon... Slash recorded his parts for this years ago now and considering how he played it live he couldn't even remember what he fucking recorded in the studio. He won't go anywhere nor will he confront those little bitches from TB. He already played much worse CD songs on stage in front of massive crowds and he's still there. If that's the price for new music than let it be... if there's no new music coming anymore than we're already fucked.

We don't know anything and never did with this band. We can just hope. Hope or loose hope. You have to choose.

I don't really agree but I like your post

There's still a little hope in me (despite that I'm not agreeing with you completely here about the quality) but IF it's true what Slash said, that Axl would like to get rid of those songs before moving on, than who knows. Ah fuck it... even if they start writing new stuff it could last another 15 years until they'll release it. Who knows if Axl is still capable of writing new shit at all.

You here clearly the origins... if they start writing new songs it would automatically sound more like classic Guns I think.

I think both sides are exaggerating a lot. It's neither the best song after Estranged nor the weakest recording this band's ever made. To me it's a weird CD song with a great outro. It's surrounded by the typical CD atmosphere. But it's dark and painful. I don't mind the vocal effects after figuring out why they're there... Too me at first Axl tries to symbolise the child in him, then the pain he's felt... or is still feeling. Sounds like garbage without context but I dig it as an artistic choice. The vocal melody through the chorus is catchy and Axl's powerful. Gives it a lot of energy. It lacks the guitars up until the outro, but when Slash's lead kicks in it turns into a powerhouse.

Maybe not my best attempt trying to be funny, but I thought it was obvious

Man, now that it's officially out I'm convinced this is recorded in 2006. Must be an old demo mixed and mastered.

Lets just hope they all agreed in writing new material... as good as the General and Monsters might be, it's still from Axls CD journey. About time for something new... release Monsters with whatever you've planed and move on.

It's his best solo out of all reunion songs imo. The solo on Monsters is good too, but not that special. I'm more a fan of his work during the verses and during the bridge of Monsters. That's great. But when it comes to guitar solos The General outro is what I like the most. It's electrifying and it's mean. Combined with Axl the outro is this GNR magic we all wished for after so many years. My only complaint is that I hoped the guitar would be a little bit more prominent in the final mix. Monsters is the overall the better song but General has the better outro.

Where the fuck are you listening to it. Did your 7" already arrived? Or are you using a VPN for streaming services?

Yes, you're absolutely right

Doesn't Costa Rica belong in some way to the States?

It most likely won't but there are still some hints that it could. In a few hours we'll know better.

I don't think Slash and Duff need any kind of permission to work on new songs. They can't force Axl to work on them too, but if they wanna do, they're gonna work something out. What it's gonna be used for is another question.

Lol those two are way too overrated here

No, I don't believe that either.

I don't know about mix or master but I think the quality we're gonna get will be better than what the leak sounded like.

100% Slash on it

Ritz. Still wish they would sell it separately as a blu ray

I think chances are similar to the possibility of them working on GNR music from scratch. Basically it's hard to believe but at the same time not that far-fetched.

Thankfully I'm able to listen myself to music and don't need to rely on anybody else's opinion, which, in this case doesn't match with the general view. I'm happy for every single SMKC record and even if I think, they could have been better without Myles, I don't think their last two albums are weaker than their work prior. Living The Dream has some damn good highlights with great lead guitar and 4 is consistently good overall.
