Will this track’s release see even the slightest bit of fanfare from team GNR?

This. Here we all are crossing our fingers and bracing for the worst for the release of ONE SONG, while the Stones are a day away from doing new music the right way.

Anyone else suspecting a digital release on the 27th is *not* a given?

I’m legitimately impressed they’ve kept this from leaking up until now. Less than 2 weeks now…

They absolutely will, too. 🙄

So we’ve reach the point now where it’s weird that this still isn’t out yet digitally, right? Same day as physical release then?

And like 80% of the lyrics are “Hey,hey…” 😆

Or The Beatles and “fuck”!

I can’t believe I’m two weeks away from holding a physical copy of The General. Sure GNR is being crazy weird about releasing it digitally but that in of itself is just so cool.

Seems legit.🙄

Who knows? I’m just glad they’re finally putting out a single that hasn’t already been circulating among the fanbase for however many years.

They began recording on these tracks back in April of 2019, so it’s reasonable to think they were considering releasing Hard Skool in late 2019 when we know they first soundchecked it. https://blabbermouth.net/news/is-slash-recording-new-guns-n-roses-music-this-weekend

These songs have pulled up GNR on and off for over a year now and it’s literally never meant a song was actually coming.

Please GNR/ @Fernando / whoever…don’t fumble the release of this track. We’ve been waiting way too long…

Hey brother. I’ve been there. Got tired of wondering what feelings were me and what was the weed. Similarly to you it just got out of control and it was something I’d need the entire day, because God forbid I was alone inside my own wildly anxious mind. I quit cold turkey and started taking anti depressants, which have helped. I don’t know what your answer will be, but in the meantime I suggest trying to keep busy, listen to music, and do things that make you happy. Give yourself some Grace. We’re all just imperfect humans doing our best. Best of luck.

I mean, it looks like, certainly at this point, if it’s *not* this week with Power Trip on Friday I guess there really might be something to that God-awful vinyl only rumor, however unfortunate. Gotta be, right?

I can’t believe a chunk of people really think an album is looming for November. I mean of course it would be great, however unlikely, but you’d really think more of us would be dubious after all we’ve been through on the new music front.

I really do believe The General will be the last “new” track we hear for some time. Of course I’d love to be wrong and be shocked by a covert album in November but I really don’t see it. Consider that 2024 is the year Slash will focus on his solo album and touring with the Conspirators. Why drop a full LP and then not tour it? Then again, ya know, Guns N’ Roses. 😆

This, totally. I’ll never forget the universal disappointment around here after the 2011 Rio show. I remember thinking it was a no-brainer that it would kick off the CD2 era, and obviously it was not that. I’d still see them a couple more times, but the vibe had gone down the tubes for sure. That was when Ron got real volatile with the fans too, and it just seemed like everyone involved was miserable for the next couple of years.

Maybe, but I don’t think this (likely wording error) is an indication that a covert LP titled “Perhaps” is coming. …Though I do think the Perhaps single art would make a great album cover too.

Hearing Paradise City when I was 13 made me a fan and buying AFD soon after sealed the deal, but by then it was 1998. I remember buying the RIR III bootleg CD at Rolling Stones Records here in Chicago in 2001 and that pulled me right into the Chinese Democracy odyssey. I bought tickets to the sold out show at the Allstate Arena in 2002, and boy am I glad I got to witness that slice of GNR history in person. The feeling was electric that night and the crowd went wild for Buckethead. I saw them again in 2006, 2010, 2011 & 2012…but that 2002 show will always hold a special place in my heart.

Yeah, clearly the marketing wizard that put the ad together didn’t do their homework very well.

I will say that’s a very odd time to start heavily promoting a 6 week old single, but then again, GNR.

There’s no way.

Man I hope Friday really is the day. Any rumblings anywhere else??
