It would still be The Stones...  Or it could be called something else.

People take this stuff way too seriously.  Why not have the two biggest bands of all time unite and play songs that everyone loves?  If it's not your thing, don't attend.  I'd go.  I'm sure many others would.  

Not sure quoting Bono is helping your argument.  

Lol, that is so good about Bono and I agree with that.

Different strokes for different folks I guess about re_combining 2 of worlds most influential bands music. 

Just re_read my message and was very opinionated almost boardering on angry, not my intention. Should have reread before sending. 

Generally, when do records get sent out? Days before release or release day..... As if it's release day, it may not be online until following Friday, earliest? 

What's wrong w/Mike clink? 

Sound on TSI was amazeballs.

About the artwork: I believe the LP will have different artwork for each side, one for Perhaps, another for The General

Where will this be, on the website?

Never going to happen but would be amazing if Paul and Ringo joined Mick and Keith for one final tour where they played both Stones and Beatles tunes.  

This could be considered scaralige, unsure about word, but Paul + Ringo teaming up with others and playing  Beatles is a silly idea. 50% of team dead, who cares what other bands reform, they're not TB, and as Bono says, they're unworthy to touch the hem of their garments. It would water down/cheapen the myth/mystic/legend. But your right, it'll never happen.

It did find it's way out yesterday! I've got it blasting just now. Phenomenal.

Been listening to it like a crazy person, really good album. 

8 more days, 8 more days, 8 more days. 

Record buffs, have a random question.... How does one get in touch with Russ, he knew heaps about records.

I have a 2nd state Butcher album record. And want to know where I could get it professionally peeled to restore it to original state?

This thread been a bit dead recently so giving it a nudge by announcing a finally managed to nab a man EU copy of Chinese Democracy, sealed as well. Sounds absolutely fantastic!

Also made some other purchases recently including the Van Halen live RSD boxset.

I love the EU record sound. It's a higher dynamic range than the CD. 

This is awesome how it's not leaking before release day, old school styles. 3 more sleeps. I'm using this to pass time (although still excited based on the two singles and snippets) for the real treat of a new gnr song release a week later.

I bought one!  Gonna talk to him on Sunday!!!  

Sweet as, ask him about CD era mixes and if he's got The General, and wants to sell after it's officially released.

They leaked but was sort of the same as the initial Perhaps unveiling. Fella had his record shipped early and recorded them on his phone. Snippets of all songs here:

I wasn't expecting the quality of Depending On You. I reckon it'll go down as one of my favourites from their catalogue. Get Close is inferior to Angry IMO.

Where did you hear DOY and Get Close? 

Listening to alot of Heaven & Hell album lately. Dio BS is amazing....... And found Born Again demos which I'll dive into nect

Pennies suddenly dropped, it's likely there'll be 3 seconds of Bucket on The General. 

But we'll never know as there's nothing to compare the song too, no one has demo.

Seems surreal that it's being released. I'm checking on here twice daily for any updates, think I just gotta take a chill pill and leave it for a week or so. Good times.

That's so cool, love it.

I posted my pics with the band back in the day in the show thread for Auburn Hills. A longer version of the story (And my thoughts on the show) are further down on that page IIRC. 
 

 

Bro, that is legendary...... Wow, wow, wow........ So cool. Love the photos and review. Now thats a story, thanks.

The upper level was closed due to poor sales, and my man @ZoSoRose had a hunch on what hotel the band were staying it. Given how public the knowledge was that the band had been doing M&G’s outside the hotels during the Axl shows we figured we’d go down and check it out, and he guessed right. We met everybody except Cliff, everybody else was fantastic. 

That's a kick arse story, really cool. Come on, you can't have an awesome story like that without photos, any chance of posting one?

I was there with @Powerage5 and that was a great fucking show. We got upgraded to the lower bowl for free and met the band after. One of my favorite memories 

 

That's so cool. How did you get upgraded, and how meet the band afterwards?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not played live anytime soon. We can’t lose track that it is a B-side. Traditionally, B-sides and non-album tracks aren’t performed live. Hard Skool and Absurd didn’t have actual B-side tracks. And Perhaps isn’t being promoted as Perhaps/The General. It’s very much all about the A-side with the promotion there. Likewise wouldn’t be surprised if the next B-side isn’t performed live.  Maybe the plan is to put the more unconventional NITL Guns songs as B-sides just to release them  

Obviously it’s GnR and anything goes. The mystique of the song, Richard’s quote, and the setlist mentions seem to indicate it’ll be played live. But if it was any other band I wouldn’t hold my breath on a B-side being played live. 

But..... How about Fernando saying its a monster.... Wouldn't that indicate they like it? 

Regardless of a leak, I thought they would be playing it live by now. Gotta be playing it live by the 19th, surely
