The General Music Video Discussion Thread
UncleJosh replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
So it is just live footage clipped together or is there more involved? Do your eyes work or are you just being a troll? -

At least they clearly put some effort into this. Whether one likes it or not, it isn't just live footage clipped together. -
Because in my opinion it is not a good song. It is ok but at the bottom of their catalog IMO. I think all songs they have released recently with the exception of Absurd are better than Bad Apples. You can still like it even if I don't. My opinion should have zero bearing on your enjoyment of any song.

How does a one off release of essentially a B-side tarnish their legacy? Does this song somehow erase all the prior songs and albums that are loved? Anyone can dislike it for whatever reason they choose, but to claim it does anything to their legacy or their historical greatness is just foolish hyperbole and rhetoric. Just don't listen and play what you do like. The release does nothing to hinder anyone from enjoying their previous work.

I am loving the General and to a lesser extent Monsters more than anything on CD or any of the other 3 songs released since. Both are better than Absurd, Hard Skool, and Perhaps to me. I have listened to the 2 tracks more than any of the others. Now they just need to complete Quick Song and I will be happy. That is the only other song out of all the leaks I enjoyed at all. The rest can stay in the vault IMO.

Steven for sure based on purely how I enjoy his drumming. If he never had any drug issues and subsequent health issues and was able to handle full worldwide years long tours I think the bank would have been better off IMO. My ranking of drummers I enjoy listening to (not including studio only or one off replacements). Talent wise Brain is top IMO. Steven Brain Matt Frank

I keep hoping someone with the ability and talent to make custom artwork would do some for the live shows in the set but so far nada. It is confusing when looking at the artwork in my audio player as to what I want to actually listen to since the studio stuff and the live stuff all have the same artwork.

Things you want to confess as a Guns N'Roses Fan? 😀

GN'R is a legacy act to me. New music doesn't really interest me at this point. The version of Nightrain from Rock AM Ring 2006 is probably my favorite version of the song and has not been performed or sounded better since then IMO. At least not in any soundboards or broadcasts I have heard. There could be other lesser quality audience recordings of a better performance somewhere but those don't count for me as I won't listen to them regularly. -
Ok so I am confused. The guy who mixed the shows/songs for the Box set confirmed they mixed multiple shows including London 1991 for possible use. They did use a few tracks on the bonus discs. But these credits seem to state that a NEW mix was done by completely different people in 2023? Does that make sense? Did they actually approve the mixes in 2022 but then paid a new mixer to redo these songs in 2023? I mean that seems like a big waste of time and money for a sub gift, no? Does anyone with good ears notice any difference in the quality of the mix in the bonus tracks in the box set and these tracks on the EP?

Loving these live tracks. Definitely want the whole show now and I still don't get why they don't just release it. Does anyone know what happened during Civil War when there are no vocals for a bit? I assume mic issues but they don't mention it and I have never heard or seen anything from this show about it, so I wasn't sure. Nice they left this untouched. Hopefully if they do release more archive live stuff they keep this mindset. I made a personal version with the other live tracks from the UYI Deluxe Editions which I am cranking as I type this. MORE LIVE RELEASES TEAM BRAZIL!!
