They played the General at Crystal Palace v Liverpool in the premier league pre kick off, so the dj there must be a GnR fan, coz there's no way axls childhood rape orchestral epic is a song that would be enjoyed in the build up to a big football match Also seen a few people suggesting the pixilation on the vinyl is on purpose - it isn't. the digital releases and all artwork GnR have posted or released to press do NOT have this pixilation issue. It's just a fuck up using a shitty small image they've stretched. A mistake a 14 year old intern might make, but not a single person with any design or grapic imagery experience would make. So very very GnR. A good song, that would have had soo much more impact released as part of an album with soul monster immediately after. never ever a mainstream digital single. Again, so very very disappointingly GnR.

I think that's because people confused the general and soul monster. Including seb bach and the phone cell leak. Soul monster is the best of what we've heard so if that had come out as the general it'd be received way better

Nice! Our biggest - 'non opening for someone with a crowd' - is about 150. we did get a song with a record label and they interviewed us and used the tagline ' we dont write songs to please or for you to like', they said we were the only band they'd ever worked with who said that so they were sending it to all their contacts Yeah it you get a pit going then it's been a great gig.

Whats mad is a sebastian bach solo song has nearly as many views as the folklored general by GnR. Top work again TB!

Every time you think GnR couldnt sink that bar any lower, then BAM, they limbo under it once more. So shoddy. My bratty little punk band would be ashamed of this packaging and our budget was £500!

You interested in British political punk rock that blends the dead kennedys, the clash, the pistols an nirvana? Not that we give a fuck if you like us. I didnt notice this playing it through my phone or car speakers. As soon as i put my expensive head phones on i picked it up a couple of times. I thought one of them was a gun shot. 24 years later. Unbelievable. so shoddy. Why the fuck do we care, they clearly dont give two shits about the music, or legacy or the fans. Can anyone argue that anymore?

that surely has to be on purpose... oh fuck it of course it isnt it's GnR and its an absolute piece of shit. Absolute disgrace. And this is round 2 of this vinyl!

We have now waited longer for the follow up to chinese democracy, than the spaghetti incident. At least DJ was postive in 2010... He tells the Rock It Out! blog, "We're talking about that (the new album) right now. We've been throwing around a bunch of ideas and it should be good. We've got a lot of good stuff on the plate coming out. It won't take as long (to make as Chinese Democracy) - I promise... https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/211213/Guns-N-Roses-plan-quick-new-album

If this song came out on a new 12 track album - not as a single. we'd be like wow it's so experimental, cool ideas and a really interesting thing to put on an album. The fact is, it's come out 15 years after the least album, the 4th single in 3 years randomly dropped without explanation or reason. Of course the majority on social media won't like this. It's nowhere near a single or palatable mainstream release. it's a song dying a death because of how GnR have released it. Hardschool State of Grace Atlas Shrugged Absurd Perhaps Going Down The SeekerORWitchita Lineman The General Monsters Going Down Quick Song Nothing Seven If we had that in 2010 or 2015 we'd all be delighted. people wouod like 2-3 songs different songs each, creating debate, there'd be 2 singles maybe and there'd be different styles for all tastes. Instead we get them dropped one at a time destroying their impact and how we enjoy them. Fuck GnR Fuck Axl. Release the above album now. Just drop it and then move on.

Maybe, but even then the slow pace doesn't make sense. You'd think they'd want to get it out, clear the decks and be free. not shackled potentially to 2025.

Not because i expect it, because it makes no sense to wait another 2 years to release another 2 songs. Why? We know they are there. We already have them in near final form. Why not just release them? it's just ridiculous. All momentum will long since be lost once more then there'll be a random drop which goes unnoticed. they could have easily put those 6 songs on an ep in 2021. maybe throw in a cover of the seeker and witchita lineman. it's just so sad how shit they are. 30 years of this.

I hope you are right, but this band has taught me to expect the worst! I'd assume of the 3-9 leftovers i mentioned, going down, nothing are obv 2 - we've heard them. Seven must have as it was mentioned as the best song that beltrami worked on. axl has mentioned vocals for berlin/oklahoma. the rest.. things like 4 heavens could genuinly be a re made KOHD and the rest could have been the remixes. I hope quick song had a vocal, i think axl defintely intended too, theres a great song there.

We can't know everything but we can use our logic. 26 completed songs in 2006 of which axl predicted they'd finish 32. 14 on CD. OMG. Atlas. the 4 released. Monsters. thats 22 we know were without doubt on that list. State of grace is definitely another one. it was a fully fledged song in 1999. No idea why people think it was abandoned, it's not like axl was laying down vocals on songs he was willing to abandon. so that's 23. So that leaves 3 minimum 9 maximum songs we havent heard. Dj ashba, stinson, bumblefoot made it clear the 2.0 version of nugnr recorded nothing original. they also did nothing to tracks posts 07/08. they have said Axl tinkered with new songs and played around with old ones, but there is nothing to suggest the band wrote any new songs from 09-15. then reunion happened. Slash and duff and 4tus have all said they have written nothing new in that time, except reworking 5-6 CD leftovers. given the CD2 tracklist had Nothing and Atlas on them, again songs that leaked with vocals, it pushes closer to this theory. So again we can't say anything with 100% certainty of course, but we can use all the information available to us and draw a very likely conclusion. This isn't pele saying 'no vocals after 99' but there were defintely no band created new songs after 07/08. and we knew how many they had then.

It was completed for CD and missed out due to time length issues. It is a fully finished song and as we know there arent too many of those left. It's logical. Could be wrong. But seeing as all the released songs were songs we already knew had vocals, i'd be completely shocked if it is anything else. Atlas, state of grace and soul monster. 2 of those 3 is a very safe bet. why did people think it'd be different to the leak though? They played it live and the live version was identical to the leak so we knew how it would sound, just slightly better audio quality.

I think it's a safe bet on atlas. Absolutely nothing but blind hope about State of grace.

Agree about better. It was the obvious lead single though, I cannot believe the video and a big push never came from that song. self sabotage of highest order. It is the only song on that album that i could have seen being played on mainstream radio. CD was very much a rock song, good, but not a lead single. probably not even a single. none of the other songs were, but the success of better was all it needed to garner the interest. SOD was probably a good last single, and even though TWAT is by far the best song on the album, it is never single material. if we have to wait more than 3 months for Monsters, Atlas, State of grace then fuck this band. Can't be waiting till 2025.

Soul Monster Atlas shrugged and state of grace are my 3 favourites of the leaks. So gutted these are the 3 that havent come yet. Surely we havent gotta wait till november 2025...

has anyone actually asked him or found out exactly why he left? from what I remember the first we knew he was out was when they announced the 09 tour and that Dj ashba was the new guitarist for it in place of robin. it just shows that nugnr were never really a band. you dont put band members on contracts. you're in the band or you aint. for even finck to be a hired hand when he wrote most of the songs in the entire era and to be on the 01/02 tour and 06/07. Like he's a footballer just running down his contract to join a different club. it's ridiculous

Myles is good live, agreed. His song writing and vocal melody lines is 95% meh and 5% fantastic. I find most of his work with alter bridge and slash sounds very generic and phoned in lyrically. Like 'oh crap ive got 40 songs to put lyrics to and ive only got 1 week to do it in' but amongst that there is some gold dust and incredible performances. blackbird and watch over you with AB, Back from Cali, Anastasia with slash. Obv there's a few other very good ones, but the amount he's churned out has certainly been great quantity, not great quality.

The myth that Axl sat there tinkering with the CD songs for 10 years in his studio has been well and truly blown.

Wouldn't surprise me if they used this as inspiration. Obviously it's slightly different key but the melody sounds almost lifted straight into soul monster/general

That's even worse that you have a disability and do no get the support you should that other nations get without a second thought. The argument is no one should have to work two jobs to make ends meet. You shouldnt have to sacrifice basics. America needs to stop giving all your money to the top 1%, tax them properly and actually build society from the bottom up. It's far from perfect in the UK and EU, but compared to america it is like a utopia.

Reading things like this makes me feel so bad for americans. Genuinely a 3rd world country. I guess at least you haven't lost your house and family paying for the treatment like so many others. But hey, land of the free and all!

No it isnt. it's absolutely nothing like that because you never liked taylor swift. It's more like Axl Rose loving stephanie seymour, then spending the next 15 years writing songs about her and wanting her back.

They aren't exactly giving the kids a good service either though are they? Of course, your own money is your own choice and if you choose to buy something you take your chances, fair enough. But GnR hardly have a great track record for great service or great products or every delivering anything on time. It's not cool anymore. maybe it was in 2002, but it don't wash anymore. That nightrain membership.... good grief, give me that money back!
