The General brings up GN'R in Norway hehehe

Last time I ordered anything from GN'R was the Shadow of Your Love vinyl, and if I'm not misremembering, it took a good while before I got it in my hands. Hoping the digital release comes sooner rather than later, because this whole General debacle is making me the most anxious I've ever been as a GN'R fan!

Fuck it, I caved and ordered the Perhaps/General vinyl. A tiny part of me wants to hold out until the vinyl finally is delivered home, and I can experience The General that way for the first time!

We finally got the Better music video redux!

My band just ordered our first ever batch of vinyl records! It's a humongous relief, especially since we've just been a bunch of buddies stumbling along every single step of the way. (Except for the mastering!) There's still a few hurdles to be cleared, but after working on this so long, I'll be a happy fuckin' camper once those records are in our hands.

That's a tiny museum! Nice grabs

1. Red Dead Redemption 1 Probably the first game which hooked and immersed me with its narrative and large open world. John Marston, Bonnie McFarlane, Dutch and Abigail remain some of my favourite characters in any media. 2. Portal 2 A toss between the first and second one. Portal remains a masterpiece, yet Portal 2 expanded and improved upon it. Love the comedic aspects and narrative, not to mention the characters and puzzles. Lost count of how many times I've replayed this. 3. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Kill enemies, plant the bomb, defuse the bomb. A simple concept with such a high ceiling. Lots of fond memories with my buddies playing this throughout the years. 4. Half-Life 2 Need I say more? 5. Garry's Mod Love the sandbox aspect and the endless possibilites within Gmod. One of my favourite pastimes was to download several different character models and maps and trying to make short ''films'' with the camera function. Wish I still had some of those somewhere! 6. Audiosurf A sort of race game where the race tracks are based upon songs you've downloaded on your PC. I still hold the record on many a GN'R songs and leaks! 7. The Walking Dead (Season 1) One of the best stories made within the Walking Dead universe. Stylistically it holds up beautifully and the performances are fantastic. More of an interactive movie, but it is a great experience. 8. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Lots of fun memories on the multiplayer! 9. Spore Loved creating the most vile creatures imaginable and ruling the universe with them! 10. Deer Hunter 2005 The first PC game I played. Haven't touched this in over a decade, but the theme song just never leaves me. Had to learn it on guitar eventually!

Definitely the best that The Walking Dead has had to offer ever since the comics ended! Really digging the new characters, especially Isabelle. It's a tiny stroke of genius to have Isabelle take on more of a leading roil with Daryl acting as a foil, where he usually serves best as a character. There's some really cool concepts, and the walker variants/walker experimentations are a welcome addition for me. Honestly can't remember where I was actively anticipating a new episode every week, what a breath of fresh air!

A few of my buddies and I were checking out this online bracket challenge where we voted on some curated list of the 256 ''best songs ever''. Between all of the XXXTentacion, twenty one pilots and Sting songs, up popped fucking This I Love Gave me a good laugh.

You'll always hear some Viagra Boys and IDLES at our band's pre-show parties! Some good stuff there.

I've trained myself to repress the phone recording and Evader's mix from my memory, so I have no idea what to expect anymore from The General. Although I do like the ''who would do this'' lines...

To me it kind of sounds like pitch correction. Stuck out like a sore thumb first time I listened to it.

Rocket Queen was the B-side to Patience. WTTJ was the B-side to SCOM. Civil War was the B-side to YCBM. I don't think being a B-side is any indication to the song's quality, but I like to remain excited while still keeping expectations in check. My expectation of course being that The General will win the Song of the Year Grammy Award, while also being lauded as the Magnum Opus of all and any western artists!

There's a wide audience shot from Glasgow in the music video. Trying to zoom in to see if I can spot myself

State of Grace and The General are not the same song, and I don't understand where this came from Based upon the clips of The General from the afterparty and the State of Grace leak, you have to be reaching far to tie these together. The motifs/riffs are similar, but they are not close to being the same. They're played in different keys, they have different structures and feature no resemblance to eachother except the motifs/riffs with the b5.

This is so insane. A song that's been 20+ years in the making, and discussed on these forums ever since. Something many of us have considered to be the holy grail of GN'R music, and in just a short while it's actually gonna be released! I've been reading this forum for about 12-13 years and this song has constantly intrigued me ever since I first read about it, and especially after hearing the Rock in Rio intro + the afterparty recording. I want to keep my expectations in check, but this is too fucking cool! I hope as many of us don't listen to the leak when it inevitably comes before release, and we can finally holds hands and sing kumbaya to The General during release. THE GENERAL!!

So fucking cool!!!

Love this shot. Crazy to finally see a new GN'R music video!

Hey hey

From now on, during all my road trips, I will grab the aux by force and play The General (phone recording) and Perhaps (phone recording) on repeat

Hey hey

You misunderstood me, I meant privileged in terms of the vast core of survivors being totally normal members of society, with the apocalypse turning them into hardened warriors. I phrased it a little poorly reading it back.

Ah fuck it Tonight's the night! It's just a passing phase, no more like a game

Saw a tiktok of Bubbles singing a bit of KOHD on stage

Crazy to think the reunion has been going on for 7+ years. 8 years since news broke that Slash and Axl were friends. What a day that Troubadour show was! Funny also how in the time since the reunion I’ve joined three bands and quit in two of them, one of which released two singles. The one I’m still in has released two albums since 2020 Semi-humblebrag but point being is that you can easily release something. Do it under a pseudonym if legalities are in the way!
