Are the recent lithos done in AI?

Can't believe it won't be ripped from the vinyl the day after by some internet hero.

Which makes not releasing it digitally a bone headed move. May as well make a little revenue off of it.

That the rumor didn’t make sense considering they’ve released every other song digitally and to radio. He’s on tour with the band rn so I’d say that’s as close to a confirmation as we’re going to get before it comes out.

Is he anything close to an insider or someone that would even be able to definitively say? For all we know he’s just giving an opinion.

It could go either way but at this point if I was a betting man I’d say it’s vinyl exclusive.

Someone just got an email response from a Universal account confirming that The General is vinyl only.

It's only two sources (the Italian website and UMG Italy store) that are actually one and the same source, since the website got the info from UMG Italy.

Good to know.

Fingers are crossed. I really would like to be able to include it in my playlists and listen to it like a normal song instead of a file sitting on my computer.

Fernando did say “perhaps” when someone asked if The General would get a digital release, which is our biggest hope that it is on the way. 

There’s multiple sources saying no digital release now, this is the second if I recall correctly? Where there’s smoke there’s fire. I’ve lost hope for a digital release at this point. Which is really fucking tragic and sad if so.

I don’t really care what Axl looks like. I care about the voice. Never really understood the weight shaming. The man is 61, if I look like that at that age I feel I’m doing something right.

Glad they haven’t dropped Perhaps. If I get a setlist like this in San Diego im walking away a happy camper. 

Is this show still happening?

I wonder if Robins solo was left in just so Robin could get writing credit. Maybe Axl viewed him as integral to the song. It was 100% intentional though- suggesting it was a mistake or lazy editing makes no sense. Dozens of people check and listen to this before release. Frequently.

Shacklers 

Axl's voice is done. It's on the way out. He can't get through a tour without this happening nowadays. He needs to immediately do baritone in every show and overcome this arbitrary fear that everyone wants to hear the mickey. The fact that this has happened twice in nearly a year is a bad sign for the longevity of GNR and his voice.

Also, I'll add one thing. The vocals so many of you refer to as "Mickey" is singing on a level about a few dozen people on Earth can do. Let's show some respect.

That’s just not true. Falsetto voices are extremely effortless unless your Steve Perry or something.

Kindof curious about how a casual fan feels about Axl singing these songs lower. It might only be a GNR nerd thing to think it sounds great. They might be wondering where his signature high voice is. To me though, he sounds much more like himself singing like that than he does when Mickey is at its worst (which it usually is)

Are you calling us nerds? Unbelievable.

@AxlRoseCDII comes to my mind

What? I’m not a Frank fan. 
 

Brain all the way. Best GNR drummer by far.

This band is always so close to doing things right, but ultimately fails in the end. The fact that they finally chose to release a buried legendary song and then shoved it on to an obscure physical release only is such a GNR move. This band is a joke.

Why is this a thread? What’s to possibly discuss?

Axl’s been falling a lot this tour. Don’t think it’s that much new though. He fell a lot in the early 2010’s I remember. If you’re on stage 100 hours collectively a year I'm sure you’re statistically just gonna have a few slips.
