    I have listened to that fucking shit-ass excuse of a recording dozens and dozens of times, straining to hear even a hint of Axl Rose over the inane chattering of partying douchebags.  I've tried headphones, speakers, adjusting levels, full volume......no matter what?

    we-aint-found-shit-spaceballs.gif

     

    I swear that clip is like a Rorschach test.  People that claim they're hearing stuff are only hearing what they want to hear.

    Try KZ ZSN PRO phones and Adobe Audition 3.0

    This is what I could gather using it, even tough I think the lyrics can be WAY off :

    "[...] Of you now

    Who would do this, to you? (2x)

    To the young!

    (Axl sings something, but its indistinguishable)

    0:21 In fact you do it

    Who ??? of all that ???

    Who wants, to lose?

    ~ Solo ~

    ~ Orchestra Comes In ~

    My hopes, my dreams are dead now

    But it's nothing for you, do they bother you?

    There's a child, I don't care, on the bed now

    To leave a stain upon their soul because I wanted to [...]

    for you, or your child

    But this time you've broken everything inside

    [...] I am never Satisfied

    that's just part of you does it bother you???"

    SOG had completed lyrics, and none of the vocals that can be heard in the cell phone clip sound anything like SOG. They're 2 different songs.

    It appears as the lyrics were not finished by the time he recorded...i mean he clearly skips a few beats in the demo we have.
    They are not the same songs, but some parts of SOG were maybe used in The general.

  3. I mean, in the "my hopes my dreams are dead now" you can hear what appears to be robin finck making a very """industrial"""" sound with his guitar, like a very distorted double stop...

    Where do we hear Double stops? OMG and SOG....

    Again, this is 100% Pure speculation of my part, but its my view.

    Whyyyyyy

    Maybe SOG Would come in the Sean Beavan era...that is, 98/99.

    The final demo we have in RM 3 is from 2000, But with no Buckethead or Brain yet...Axl clearly hadn't finished the lyrics yet, and final part of the song does remember the general....the sinister guitar riff and the half steps you can hear on "when do you think you can tell me..."

    Brain says it was a different jam in 2001...and in 2002 we can especulate that the song received Marco Beltrami's orchestras, and in 2003 there was an interview saying the name The General for the first time...

    Am I saying that they are the same song? not at all....but maybe SOG was left aside and EVOLVED TO the general...

     

    Again, this is just pure speculation from my side and everyone's guesses is as good as mine..

  5. Its 2023 and whoever listened to the song doesn't know how to send an audio on whatsapp.
     

    Maybe the lyrics are about that time when axl was flying down in a flying saucer through Varginha, Brazil and he got shot by the sudanese task force and he had to run through the savanas of Brazil using the same kilt he used on 1992.

    That happened in 1996, around the same time when axl wrote Oklahoma.

    I sense a connection here...

  6. That's what I could understand from the lyrics of Minday11's phone audio :

     

    [...] Of you now
     
    Who would do this, to you? (2x)

    To the young!

    (Axl sings something, but its indistinguishable)
