At this point, if it isn't studio releases (wether that come in the form of CD era stuff reworked, or newly written), or some proshot stuff from the late 80's early 90's, I don't give a shit.

I have been a fan since 1987 and the general is by far one of the worst GNR songs ever, right up there with shotgun blues and get in the ring.

It's no "my world" !!!!!! Incredible .fisrt time Iisiten that. You should now very  well GNR !!! The General could be in the half of of UYI 1-2....from me. miss just a good solo from Slash

but no new album ?

BRAVO  !!!!!!

she wa so beautiful !!!!

I'm sure Slash said he compose some song for GNR and in another part the songs for SMC. it's been 5 years ago and then nothing. I love the general but why not put a good solo ? This band make me crazy. Is there a button to turn it of ma passion for gnr ?

same for me !!!

i don't understand why GNR don't used some composition from it could be good for me

"Well....that was interesting...."

Ok so this is a good capture of the screen from the debut (mostly - he zooms in start of singing)

And still loads of question (par...) but what I can reasonably conclude is....

They all were totally into that! So much so, that this time with the live debut first, a lot of that footage and tomorrow's could be used to create a proper music video this time...I think since we're in a post-Perhaps world and they have a decent video team working for them and the views and reception/feedback (more importantly) was postivie re-video that this has a punchers chance of happening! I'm sure the team will assemble it at least....mix it with the backdrop graphics and it be kinda cool...

Slash does his usual moves every gig but I was seeing a lost in the moment playing this, not telegraphed moves which tells me there is a music video potentially and that he really digs his work on the song and playing new shit! Or he's high on MYGNR calling him Bucket! I even thought a few of his wiggles were Buckets Robot moves esque 😝 trolling those - you know who you are.

Axl...he sounded not half bad at all...for a first time...evidentially there's his pre comments that can be interpreted in different ways...did he rehearse this at pre-tour rehearsals or at the hotels sometimes (somewhere other than soundcheck) or does he just listen to the studio track in his cans and belt it out in his dressing room (or somewhere) as that was a more assured performance than most debut he's done...so he must of done some prep...even to just know the lyrics by heart...I think the song vocals suite his current range pretty well...most of these songs do (other than Hard Skool)....Monsters bridge, hmmm...would love to see an attempt tomorrow to answer that Question...

Finally....I think it's quite funny that on almost all the different placed filmers, when Axl mentions "The General" or the music starts, there's one dude that just looses his shit!!! Reminds us, we're not TOTALLY alone... there's at least one hyped dude in each section!!! 

Oh yea...The General is real, he's live and where the fuck did the 15 years go???

 

really better live for the general

there songs need an epic solo of Slash

So yeah, me and @Blackstar were talking about The General and Monsters orchestral pieces played before the concerts. I'm not 100% sure, as it may have occurred one time or another, but I tried to find Monsters orchestra piece in several 2006 bootlegs, and could never find it. It was always just The General. Here my early findings:

- The General piece was played before concerts in 2009/10, but it was mostly used in 2006/07. I played guitar along with that in two recordings (not sure from which shows those were), and it seemed that the orchestra is a bit shorter than the leak, and it looped back to the beginning. It has a similar secondary melody (I assume those were horns?) in the ending that resembles the first few notes that Slash plays in the beginning of his outro solo. 

- Monters orchestral piece wasn't played together with The General, as far as I could find. I wasn't able to find any instance of it being played before 2010. This is one example:

 

- Our conclusion is: The General orchestra was the whole song, but shorter. It was probably never played together with the Monsters part, but we all (yeah, me included) assumed those pieces were mixed together and was the same thing because of how similar they sound. 

I'll post this also on the Beltrami thread, just in case.

incredible. they tease us !!!!

You cant be serious! 

The general and Monsters are the two best GNR songs since CD and also better than at least half of CD.

right
