Exactly this, plus I’d add a live album and video from say 2016 with some added live spots of the new singles and covers as well as the official Perhaps video. And after hearing Monsters, I have a tiny bit of hope that maybe seven or another unheard CD leftover could be just as good! And I’d love to be surprised and hear that Oklahoma / Berlin has vocals.

Atlas, State of Grace and whatever else had finished vocals (Berlin/Oklahoma, Seven?) could make for a decent album that they could theoretically have already put out with Slash and Duff added in. I also wouldn’t mind hearing the pre NITL versions if they leak. Some of CD was really good, if not exactly GnR to me. CD, CITR and The Blues from the Village Leaks are pretty cool, and I like Shackler’s, Madagascar, TWAT and Prostitute from the official release.

The lyrics from Apple Music are on page 192 or so in this thread or just Google the Apple lyrics. I think they’re as official as we’re getting any time soon.

What is this about?

I find it sad that the same couple of posters feel the need to moderate peoples opinions here, all day every day. And calling anyone that misses the magic that was Guns N Roses a mullet head is just childish. In my opinion, The General feels like an unfinished idea of a potentially great song. The laziness of repeating the same verses is excused by some as an artistic choice but I see it as another reason why this song wasn’t on CD. It’s just not that good. Thankfully we also got the far superior Monsters, I absolutely love that song!

I heard the Japanese CDs have the original and mixes!!!

GnR Reddit is a joke with almost no credibility

Wichita Lineman w/ Black Hole Sun

IMO, The General is an ok song that feels like it was never finished lyrically. To be fair, the fact it was leaked along with a far superior song probably doesn’t help my view of it. I just don’t get how Axl couldn’t come up with a second verse rather than repeating himself. This seems to be a running theme of many the songs left off CD that we’ve now heard between the new singles and the Village Leaks. The outro is pretty damn good though. It makes me hopeful that if they ever do work on a new album like Slash has suggested, there is still the potential for some magic.

60 or so songs recorded, 14 of which have been released so far. And another album probably coming next year like you said so probably 25 or so songs released. Add in all the session work he’s been doing and you have to admire Duff’s work ethic. If only it would rub off on Axl

Yes, I meant I doubt the vinyl would come with a lyric sheet. Thanks for sharing this! You always have great examples and or facts at the ready 👍🏻

Although it would be nice, I highly doubt it. Japanese releases typically have the lyrics in both English and Japanese.

I’m hoping he does another San Francisco date. This album is really growing on me.

I would think it’s almost a certainty that Gilby and Slash will share the stage at least once. I don’t recall anything negative said towards each other.

Thank you both! I had linked to an Apple News story but it guess it didn’t work the way I had meant.

Axl is now apparently being sued for an alleged rape in 1989: https://apple.news/ASwW5NM1EShCrbidZlUalwg

My setup isn’t exactly world class so maybe I just can’t hear that problem you’re referring to.

Same here

Andrew Watt has produced fantastic albums by Eddie Vedder, Iggy Pop, Ozzy and the Stones in just the last few years. And all of them sound great on my record player 🤷🏻‍♂️

It has to be an issue with production or shipping from the plant, not a big deal really. I mean, it sick’s to have to wait a little longer but I guess I’m just used to delays when it comes to GnR

Looks like mine should be delivered tomorrow. I’ll be listening to this while everyone complains about not having received their Perhaps / General 7” yet

It’s So Easy with Mr. Brownstone single was also released before Appettite. People in this forum love making up their own ridiculous facts.

I agree with the production issues, especially with Absurd’s odd vocals timing “choice”. However, all 3 NITL released songs are vastly superior versions to what Axl’s solo band put together in the Village Leaks, imo.

Im starting to think you’re a Robin and Buckethead fan

There, I fixed it for you
