Yeah, CD era songs like It’s so Easy, My Michelle, You’re Crazy, Reckless Life, 14 years, Perfect Crime, Shadow of your Love..

This is wrong. Robin got actual credits in a lot more than just Better.

I’m going by the liner notes. Where do you see conflicting info? Why would the liner notes say different? Genuinely curious. 

I think this is a nice time to review writing credits from CD (only including band members)

Dizzy -3

Tommy - 2

Huge - 4

Finck - 1

Shitman - 2

Reese - 1

Bucket - 3

Brain - 2

Now that we have that out of the way, my money is on Hard Skool being written by Huge and Axl. I’m thinking the same for Perhaps.

Rick claims to have that song with vocals. I don't believe him, because if he did, he would have leaked it by now. 

I think I remember him saying that he’s heard it with vocals.

Tonto was my fav instrumental of the village leaks

You would need to see my laptop to know that I had that screen shot (well, mine actually has more than what is seen here, it's cropped) and it's dated 2011. 

Can I borrow your laptop for a bit?

This is another show I would have attended had it not be on a weeknight. Both Boston and NY market’s shows were weeknights.

It’s just a better design to me! It’s all good, though. Less money I have to spend!

Hoping for PTU, TWAT, or Locomotive tonight!

Good luck man!

That is way better. I’d have bought that and I’m not even a Red Sox fan

I’m a Celtics fan but not a Red Sox fan 🤔

A Celtics litho, not a Redsox/baseball themed one?  Sour

Check out 4tus’ Instagram for the Red Sox inspired litho

I’ll file this under highly unlikely. Perhaps/General LP doesn’t ship basically until November.

 Crucify the dead was totally about Axl 

Yep, confirmed by Ozzy.

He was fine on the 2008 version of the album I thought

Yeah but every song Frank played on CD (5 total), Brain also played on, besides Chinese Democracy, which was written by Freese .

I think Atlas would have been received better if it had come out sooner (well, I mean, technically it still hasn't! ). It's a fine piano led rock song but nothing extraordinary. I put it down to the title really - the title coming from a philosophical novel and the fact NuGuns had some epic songs meant I was expecting some proggy masterpiece and was really surprised when it was a fairly standard rock song which was very similar to Catcher. 

In terms of The General and Soul Monster - if the clip's anything to go by then it is more proggy NuGuns than a straightforward rocker or ballad. If Soul Monster is Me and My Elvis then I feel it's safe to say that's already an epic as an instrumental, in fact I still listen to it regularly and it's my favourite of the Village Leaks. With some vocals and a waily Slash solo then I'd be very surprised if I was underwhelmed. 

I don’t recall Atlas having any piano whatsoever.

It's hilarious that folks think that Evaders mix will be anything like what the song will be. He had a Silkworms mix too back in the day, which sounded absolutely nothing like what Absurd turned out to be. 

You do know Evader isn't a band member don't you?

Thank you dude. Crazy some people still don’t understand that Evaders’s mix is a fantasy. Mind blowing shit!

No disrespect ti Evader of course.

Ok so what are we putting the odds at of a version of The General leaking prior to an official release? I’d say about a 20% chance. 
 

And the big question- If this happens will you listen to it or wait for the official version? 

I’m about to wait until I spin that vinyl for the first time regardless. 

So who is gonna check link.to everyday? Not it!

As bizarre as some people find it, IMO there are many more bizarre choices made throughout GNR’s catalog, including AFD (not a fan of the synth in PC and I find it odd). I find My World incredibly bizarre lol. And to mention a few on CD: the hour long intro to the lead single, Rhiad intro, every single BBF fill, and the 7 guitarists on TWAT. Not to mention how bizarre “pussy for of maggots” is. And the school bell on HS…

What I’m getting at is this is essentially par for the course.

State of Grace and The General are not the same song, and I don't understand where this came from

Based upon the clips of The General from the afterparty and the State of Grace leak, you have to be reaching far to tie these together. The motifs/riffs are similar, but they are not close to being the same. They're played in different keys, they have different structures and feature no resemblance to eachother except the motifs/riffs with the b5.

Yeah but look at the Shanklers/shacklers makeover. 
 

But I agree I don’t think SOG is The General either.

Ok now I’ve moved on to wondering what Atlas’ B-side will be 😂

Just now, AxlRoseCDII said:

My guess is The General is a B side because it’s way less radio and commercial friendly. It could have no traditional verses or choruses. Or maybe a minute of guitar solos or the intro.

My thoughts exactly. 

They wouldn’t do something crazy like only release the general on vinyl right lol

If they can piece together an album (which I personally believe they can), I the the clear choice for an album title would be “Hey Hey”.

I can't wait for someone here with the appropriate ear and skills to seamlessly add in Robin's solo to the released mix, assuming that's possible using the leak and final version. Hopefully they don't pull Robin's solo from the earlier leak that was tampered with and had the quality reduced. (you can hear hissing in the beginning, as if it came from tape, which was added) Whomever did that was an ass.  

I believe that had already been pieced together by someone. I haven’t heard it so I can’t judge on the quality.
