Sebastian Bach said way back in like the 2009-2011 era that Axl told him that The General was the sequel to Estranged.

Maybe just move there permanently then… I know I always ask this, but has anyone checked to see if General is in linkfire yet?

I wonder why they seem to be releasing these songs in pairs, and in this order. Interesting strategy.

I think he’s just going off the fact that when brain wrote the song he just called it The General cause he happened to be eating General Tso’s Chicken at the time, so it’s safe to say that it was originally intended to be nothing more than a working title/ placeholder name. That said, maybe Axl just thought it sounded cool and chose to keep it regardless.

I would add all three Royal Blood albums to this list, as well as Greta Van Fleet’s double-EP.

Not a fan of Atlas, SoG, etc.?

True, but GnR seem to only be putting out songs in pairs, unless they’ve decided now to just drop the remaining four songs from the Covid sessions all at once. That would be cool! We know that Perhaps and The General are two of those songs. I guess that other two are Atlas and… OMG, maybe?

Interesting. Guess that means Atlas is further away than we thought. Or maybe it’s been dropped altogether?

Wasn’t Atlas on the setlist once in 2019 and then never again? Or was that fake? Either way, this is cool!

Some CDs can hold 72 mins of music and others (CD-R) can hold up to 80 mins, but they’re more expensive to manufacture. ChiDem is on a 72 minute disc. Has anyone checked to see if Perhaps is already on Shazam?

The intro sounds like Interstate Love Song. That’s probably why.

Stream died right after Absurd :/ wonder what they did next.

What happened to his nose?

@Rovimis there, right? Hopefully he’s taking setlist notes…

They soundchecked absurd with Axl in the middle of the night at Hershey tho. That said, you’re right that they never soundchecked HS with Axl apart from that one time way back in early 2020 (before the apocalypse).

Watch them play Perhaps and there’s no footage of it…

I don’t have insta but apparently Meegan is streaming: https://www.instagram.com/meeganhodges/live/

Really? How so?

I listened to both clips a few more times and yeah that’s definitely Duff and Melissa. No Axl there, which means we probably won’t get it tonight. They’re still “warming it up,” just like they soundchecked HS a bunch of times without Axl before finally doing it for real.

The original Going Down where it’s just Tommy on his own is better. Should’ve always just been a Tommy solo song.

What else is new?

Izzy. Steven has a great thing going now with his new singer from Argentina, whereas Izzy hasn’t been doing anything since 2016. For that reason alone, I’d rather see Izzy back.

Is Perhaps on linkfire yet? Anyone know how to check that?

New music comes out on Fridays now.

That one is just a b-side, to be fair.
