  1. Ya know what? I don’t mind the video. In fact it’s pretty much the only way I care to experience the song now.
  2. All I have to say is that they really can’t release Monsters soon enough.
  3. People are complaining, but honestly I wasn’t expecting to hear a peep out of GNR until 2025, so this video is a pretty cool bonus for me. Looking forward to it.
  4. Yeah, the RTB era cache of demo tracks would be incredible to hear. Who knows, maybe someday.
  5. Tour in 2025 with Atlas Shrugged and Monsters released unceremoniously during the US leg. Rinse and repeat.
  6. After spending 20+ years of my life dying to hear The General, I never thought I’d end up digging the final version of Silkworms/Absurd more. Life certainly has a sense of humor.
  7. Listening to The General again, and man I hate how abruptly it just ends. I think a rolling guitar solo similar to TWAT could have really saved it. It feels so incomplete. Which is hilarious given the 20+ years Axl had to flesh it out.
  8. I’m 38 now, was 18 when I first joined the forum back in 2004. 😱
  9. I just listened to Monsters again with headphones. Holy shit that track is awesome. I just hate that an official release is probably miles away with the way this operation runs.
  10. I like The General but in no way begrudge anyone who doesn’t. It’s driven by a hip hop beat that could be from an Eminem song circa 2002. It’s a huge departure from what most would consider the classic GNR sound. It’s also fairly repetitive. It feels like an experiment, not necessarily a bad one, but for sure a creative departure. Is what it is. If you dig it, cool. If not, it seems like the next couple songs will be less controversial.
  11. The release of Atlas & Monsters will, I think, cleanse everyone’s collective pallets since they are both more stick to your ribs rock songs. It’s just too bad that they will likely not surface until the next major tour.
  12. It’s the only way I listen to CD now, except for TWAT. So raw and in the moment.
  13. I really wish we didn’t have to wait for a hypothetical tour in 2025 for Atlas Shrugged and Monsters, but I’m sure that’s exactly what will happen.
  14. Yeah, I’m still unclear about a lot of the lyrics. Wish a lyric video accompanied it.
