I'm quite shocked that so many people seem to prefer monsters. For me it only works as a follow on to the general. I love the general but find monsters a bit repetitive after a while. Really like it but mainly as a whole song combined. Monsters could be half as long and I'd be happy.

The general is amazing. I'm so happy!!

I love them both but im really hoping they are one song. Monsters sounds like an extended outro to me somehow.

To me it sounds literally nothing like Atlas. Different key for starters.

Absolutely! If anything I'm glad it's a B-side because I've always imagined The General as an epic - completely unsuited to radio. I'd be super disappointed if it was just some 3 and a half minute long medium paced radio friendly single.

You're right.....I didn't know I needed this!

I'm kind of hoping The General is a bit like a GnR version of 'I'm just ken' from the Barbie movie.

Paul Tobias sure was involved in the writing of a lot of GnR songs for someone who supposedly didn't have the chops. I find it interesting - Izzy would never have got a position in NuGuns if he was an unknown up and comer at the time - they would say he doesn't have the chops. The best music is not necessarily written by the best technical musicians that's for sure!

I can't believe I'm sitting in my kitchen reading an argument between two adults over the finer points of cornrows and whether they are an effective way to cover up balding.... How did my life come to this?

Is The General release for Oct 26 legit??

Anyway........time to move on and start complaining again.

I like it a lot more than I thought I would. Way better than the demo! I personally like Slash's solo - just wish it went for longer - feels like its about to take off and then it finishes. There's nothing like a new GnR song - it really makes me happy!

C'mon Fortus get this friggin song out for Christs sake!!!!

Yeah who wants to hear slash playing on gnr songs???

If i had to guess I'd say it has something to do with the new song coming out...

Nuno has obviously never heard Slash give Axl some reggae!!

Hope it doesn't start raining!! Would be a shame to smash up those nice neat tables.

And yet he didn't give any credit to Slash (apart from a note in the album booklet) for the guitar work on estranged.

God I hope not.... Some of those are appallingly bad - just another sunday, too much too soon, Some are boring as batshit - bring it back home, aint goin down. I actually don't mind crash diet and sentimental movie.

I guess they did say they'd been trying to work out how to release new music...... Seems a bit extreme but I have been waiting 25 years!

I absolutely agree with you. It just made me think of appetite V the illusions. I honestly feel like the illusion albums sound more 'dated' than appetite. But I love them both anyway.

That's like your opinion t'was a joke.....

That's why he said it! Are you going to write that after every comment on this forum?? That's like your opinion that it's his opinion man...

Sorry mate i just really don't rate his playing at all. I feel like he has no originality. One pf the highlights of this version of gnr for me has been hearing slashs take on the cd songs. I've never understood people wanting note for note versions of songs live - put a cd on and turn it up loud if that's what you're after!

Nobody goes to a gnr concert to hear Richard Fortus play guitar solos. What a friggin joke!
