It's not a true Guns N' Roses song without Frank Ferrer on the drums. Hard pass.

It would really stain GnR’s image. I’d run from anything with those guys.
Yes. GnR has managed to maintain their integrity throughout the years. Lol

Box office bomb
although I’d love to see a documentary with photos and video (if any exists) and some interviews with Axl and Team Brazil on how none of this delay or lack of material was their fault and it’s all because of David Geffenand Stephanie Seymour and TomZutauts Black Hawk Down fiasco

I would have thought that 80s opening gig that Axl never turned up for and Izzy/Duff had singing duties would have been the worst.
I was just going to mention that. Opening up for the legendary, Alice Cooper. -
Probably nothing. And I’m not talking about Nothing (11.8.00) (Ver. 1)

Does anyone know if the 7” sounds better? I know it’s obviously the same mix but maybe there’s less compression for the vinyl mastering than the digital version

I just played “The General” three times in a row at the Rainbow, and they shut the jukebox off.

I’ll tell ya what - silly or not - I’ll be in a team meeting with 40+ people who I work with. We all love gnr, work in the music biz, and promote/book/see THOUSANDS of shows a year collectively. We also receive THOUSANDS of band submissions a year of artists trying yj break in.
you may say that’s a small sample, or too specific, or whatever, but that’s a room of 40+ people whose literal job is to promote music. Would you care for the feedback/opinions on this track? We did it for perhaps via Zoom call and I’d say it was like 40/60 of “it’s an ok song” vs “I’ll pass” but a 100% agreement that if this was the submitted work in order to get on a bill, we’d never book that artist. But gnr would get away with it. I mean it’s comical. And no one liked the other songs that were released. Also opinions, but to me that is subjective.
anyway, if you like it and others do as well that’s GREAT. If you want to spend money on it that’s your business. I just think it’s absolutely hysterical that this is the best that gnr could do.. a copy/paste job over a 20+yr project? Meh, good for you I guess.
I’m sure 99% of those people would rather not listen to GnR

Official press release
LOS ANGELES, CA December 8, 2023-- Today, Guns N’ Roses debuted their new single titled, “The General” via Geffen Records.
LISTEN HERE: https://gunsnroses.lnk.to/TheGeneralPresave
“The General” stands out as the band’s second release of 2023, following their summer single “Perhaps”. Guns N’ Roses initially debuted “The General” to a sold-out hometown audience during their two-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA. Since then, fans have anxiously awaited the official arrival of “The General.”
Last month, Guns N’ Roses concluded their blockbuster 2023 world tour, which sold 1.3 million tickets around the world. The tour marked the band’s largest run to date and consisted of acclaimed performances across European stadiums and arenas. Their run included headlining festivals including Glastonbury and London’s Hyde Park. The band’s North American leg included sold-out performances at historic venues such as the Hollywood Bowl and MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, as well as a co-headlining performance at Power Trip in Indio with AC/DC & Metallica.
Around the world, the band’s shows have only gotten bigger and bolder. The group’s now-legendary three-hour-plus sets have evolved with sought-after fan favorites in addition to newly dusted-off gems from their back catalog, leaving ardent audiences in awe.
ABOUT GUNS N’ ROSES
Embedded in popular culture, Guns N’ Roses’ landmark diamond-selling 1987 opus, Appetite For Destruction, stands out as “the best-selling U.S. debut album ever” and “the 11th best-selling U.S. album of all time.” Following its release, Guns N’ Roses shook the world with the one-two punch of the over 7x-platinum Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, clinching the top two spots on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart upon arrival. With total sales of 100 million units thus far, their catalog also consists of G N’ R Lies (5x-platinum), The Spaghetti Incident? (platinum), Greatest Hits (5x-platinum), and Chinese Democracy (over 6 million worldwide). Not to mention, they are one of the most-streamed rock bands in the world with an average of 27 million monthly listeners on Spotify. The band’s Not In This Lifetime… Tour ranked as the “fourth-highest grossing concert tour of all time,” selling 5 million-plus tickets and included a headline performance at Coachella. Guns N’ Roses never stop with more touring on the horizon and other surprises—the “Nightrain” keeps rolling at full speed.
Guns N’ Roses are Axl Rose (vocals, keyboards), Duff McKagan (bass), Slash (lead guitar), Dizzy Reed (keyboard), Richard Fortus (rhythm guitar), Frank Ferrer (drums), and Melissa Reese (keyboard).
What a garbage press release. Doesn’t mention any history of the song and it’s obviously done on purpose to mask it as a “brand new” composition.

For everyone complaining they didn’t let Frank re-record the drums, you have to take this into consideration …when Brain re-recorded them in 2001 they were all set up at the Village and still on Geffen’s dime. By the time Geffen stopped writing the checks for the studio, they had completed all the drums. They have this stuff already recorded and it’s a lot more cost effective to have Slash and Duff throw down some guitar tracks in their home studio rather than trying to recreate this drum sound. Plus Frank sucks anyways so fuck that

I have no idea why anyone doubted that the song would get a digital release. Fernando confirmed it would on Reddit weeks ago. I guess people are so used to being disappointed by GN'R that they assumed It would be vinyl exclusive.
Because people are neurotic. There was never any mention in the description of the Perhaps 7” that The General was EXCLUSIVE to the vinyl. If it was supposed to be a record exclusive they would’ve advertised it as such. People just make shit up, like that the leak wasn’t the final mix

Teaser sounds exactly the same as the leak because the leak is the final mix. It’s so bizarre how there’s conspiracies it wasn’t a final mix just because people don’t like it. The General that leaked is the final version for better or for worse

I think a release on the 8th is more likely. People have tried finding it on Tidal and it doesn’t show up. Not to mention it takes a bit of time before the website redirects before a release, not the night before. Also it would’ve been out already in New Zealand and Australia, etc.
Not to mention that is the date the Perhaps 7" comes out (if that isn't already applied lol)

Not the crap version leaked.
I bet it’s exactly the same as the leaked version. Everyone has convinced themselves the leak isn’t the final mix just because they don’t like the mix.
