The General

I thought it wouldn't get shipped until release day? And since no initial digital release, we won't have it till 28th earliest. Hope im wrong though. 

Is it good following IM? Thought Miaden sound like their records?

I hope it’s this Friday. Maybe you’re right though

This Friday for what?

Given this may be their last album  

 

 

 

They recorded enough songs for two albums. 2nd will come out later some time. 

I'm still waiting for the glory days of bucket to return. AFD line up dead in the water.

If Hard School didn't have a separate master for vinyl, it is unlikely that Perhaps or The General will. I don't have Hard School on vinyl, so I don't know if the master is different. 

A lot of modern vinyl releases are compressed. They are actually worse than the compressed digital releases, because it's the same compressed master with the volume lowered and maybe some minor alterations. In addition, there is the distortion or artifacts if the record is poorly pressed or not near-mint. 

Vinyl has certain restrictions with how loud certain frequencies can be, so they just take the compressed digital master and lower the volume all around. Which is ironic given the purpose of brickwalling is to make a recording louder. Most releases don't get separate vinyl masters, and most re-issues that aren't from some boutique label are just the digital master pressed onto vinyl with minimal necessary changes. An example of a record that got a full remix/master for vinyl was Stadium Arcadium, but that's a bit outside the norm. 

Vinyl, again ironically, isn't really about the music. Most people who buy vinyl don't listen to it. It's more of a collectible. So there isn't much value added by making sure it sounds good. In most cases for modern represses or releases that are just your run of the mill releases, there will probably be a digital or CD version that sounds better. 

I did not know this, thanks, much appreciated. A little bumbed that I purchased it now.

That sounds good. In all honesty I was basing my comment on a few different things that were said here, regarding bad rips from vinyl. If it sounds like this, it'll be fine. Thanks!

What's positive about vinyl is, I my experience, less compressed and loud, so a good rip would be awesome.

And this is why we'll probably never have a GN'R album of new material. You can't force an artist to share art against their will. It's a violation. It's a breach of trust. If I were in Axl's shoes, I wouldn't be so willing to give a single other scrap to an industry and a fanbase that treated me so poorly.

He was right to say fuck all of you and cash the reunion check, then go about his life unconcerned and happy.

Nec minit...... Village Leaks and half the remix album lol

Either way, this would settle the argument about "vinyl" only release for The General, as if it's coming...... It'll be in all formats. 

That's cool, OK, I thought you meant something else, my bad, it's late in the day, I need some caffeine.........

I do not, but years ago I cut out the audible parts and put them together to be able to make some of it out and it was great. Anyone with the Shackler’s multi track could do it. I could make out some pretty killer Bucket licks.

Any more news about a possible single for radio this week? 

 

Where did this rumour start from?

Bucket had a more advanced solo than the one from the Village leaks (that someone inserted into the studio 2008 version) 

You can hear bits of it in the multi. Hopefully we will get to hear it properly one day. 

Do you have a link?

Great show, made all the better by meeting Axl Rose after and getting his auto. 

Awesome, how did you meet Axl?

I really don't understand why so many people have such big problems with the mixes of the new songs. Other than Hard Skool's backing vocals being burried, I really don't see what's that wrong with them, yet most people act like they're the worst recordings ever released 😂

Loudness of the songs of A & HS. Check the compression levels against CD album. Different quality. One is masterfully mixed, the other sounds it was mixed like a limp bizkit demo lol

Really? Hardskool/Absurd didn't, did it? Fuck, this "vinyl only release" rumour worked wonders in their favour.

Sorry, not sold out as others have mentioned, just gotta purchase from different online store.

It isn't sold out on the international stores, so maybe you can buy it from there, e.g. the UK one (although I can imagine that the shipping will be more expensive for you).

Thanks for this. Yeah it's definitely higher but a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Told my work colleagues and they looked at me like this crazily excited nerd, and my boss is lending me his mp3/record player....... Bring it on. 

I know this is way too early for this, but anyone who ordered 4 copy's want to resell one. PM me.

There would be a lot less crying in this thread if people just bought a record player 

No need, the 7' just sold out. 

When did the Perhaps 7' sell out? 

So annoying, was gonna purchase one this weekend.

Damn 90% chance of rain from 6pm-11pm, now I am wondering if it is worth it to go, I was planning a 7 hour drive and I was going to leave tommorow 

It's worth the drive, they may play the general.

Lol, so good

Really excited for TG. However, my grail would be the Bucket version, or the song as it was in 2008. Hopefully it gets leaked somewhere, sometime. 

But still excited.

I went right off Judd about the time it came out he'd been posing as a 17 year on Facebook, stalking two girls who were like primary school age amongst other stuff. He's not a particularly nice guy. Polar opposite of the Finn's.

There's a mid 70s Manzanera album called K Scope. It's got Tim on lead vocals, Neil on backing vocals and Eddie Rayner on keys. And an early 90s Manzanera album called Southern Cross with Tim on lead vocals. Tim co wrote a lot of it too. They're both worth checking out too.

Yeah I heard Judd was a bit creepy, but the Swingers album has some pop gems on it that I still listen too regardless of his behaviour. Looking forward to checking out above stuff.
