the ending of this case could be months into the future... this is such an awkward time for anyone following the band. this thing happens, then the perhaps vinyl will happen, and the other members will go on their solo careers while GnR aren't touring, then there's probably going to be months of silence afterwards regarding non-solo GnR, except instead of usual calm silence, it will be silence with this thing hanging over, and we don't know if some part of the band's management will be restructured or not as an outcome.

I think this section might address it. " 1166. On multiple occasions, out of fear, Benzova submitted- verbally, but never physically- to Lebeis demands in order to get him to relent his pervasive unwelcome advances and/or because she feared Lebeis, through his GNR manager and proxy would disadvantage her. "

random duff article "Published on November 14, 2023 10:50AM EST" https://people.com/guns-n-roses-duff-mckagan-says-prior-to-getting-sober-wasnt-planning-on-living-past-30-exclusive-8399627

I've always side-eyed Beta ever since reading this interview where she talks about Stephanie. https://www.a-4-d.com/t4758-2001-01-22-bolsa-de-mulher-interview-with-beta-lebeis Yeah, Stephanie is no angel, but the way she positions Axl as this unfortunate romantic man and Stephanie as "She practically killed him", sounded like a mother mollycoddling her son, in the light of Stephanie bringing up assault and battery charges. That interview is decades old. But the whole failure to prevent section beginning from page 248, that stated Benzova had no avenues to get help with, ending with "1183. This belief in futility was reasonable and supported because ,on or about October 2022, when Benzova attempted to reach out Beta Lebeis, mother of Fernando Lebeis and manager of AXL Rose, Beta ridiculed and demeaned Benzova stating the only reason she is where she is in her life is because of her son." Two decades later, still doing the mollycoddling, instead of holding the person accountable or even thinking that maybe the person is flawed, especially when someone comes directly for you for help in the only way they know how because there aren't any other options? Gross.

Today is such a good day to be Izzy Stadlin. Where is he? Who knows. But it's away from the chaos of the band, that's for sure. It's probably a good day to be Steven Adler too, with his own little band.

Does this mean Fernando was trying to block Kat from speaking to the band-members and higher-ups? " 1123. In addition, Lebeis reprimanded Benzova for trying to communicate with other principals. 1124. For example, in or about October 2022, Lebeis demeans and ridicules Benzova, stating it is wrong, unprofessional, and not her place to try to communicate with any other principals regarding his decisions. 1125. In addition, Lebeis used his power as GNR manager and proxy to cut ties Ms. Benzova. While doing so, Lebeis reprimanded Benzova for trying to communicate with other principals 1126. More specifically, Lebeis, on or about October 2022, Lebeis stated that cutting ties was his decision and that trying to communicate with any other principles is unprofessional, forbidden, and useless " (For anyone reading the document, the sexual harassment stuff is page 232 and onwards)

" In addition, Benzova, over this period of 2016-2021, Benzova repeatedly insisted and demanded that they utilize written contracts and formalize controlled use terms and payments in exchange for the use of her photographs. 232. Benzova also openly stated utilization of written contracts and formalization of terms would reduce uncertainty, conflict, and transaction costs. In addition, in email, Benzova stated formalized contracts would increase certainty and predictability. 233. However, Lebeis habitually and through routine practice, either ignored Benzova; falsely played stupid; lied to Benzova about understanding or compliance; and/or claimed he didn’t remember the terms when deliberate deviation occurred. On one such occasion, on or about, May 2017, after insisting writing the terms again and being ignored again, Lebeis demeans Benzova and tells her he didn’t respond to her requests for written terms because he was “too busy doing other shit" " Other shit? Like what other shit!?!? Dude, it's literally your job to handle that specific stuff. Even focusing on the stuff that isn't the creepy sex stuff, all the lies and deception and general conduct in regards to the handling of the photos and licensing is so appalling " But, instead of complying to known terms and intent, Lebeis continued to disrespect Benzova’s rights, flout copyright law, and psychologically manipulate Benzova, stating that “family” doesn’t need contracts; “family takes care of each other”; and even falsely claiming he was one gathering money and paying Benzova directly; and, as stated above, falsely claiming that GUNDAM/GNR/TEAM BRAZIL/FERANDO LEBEIS were the owner the Benzova Photograph in order confuse and mislead BEnzova ( See within- Intentional Misrepresentation of Material/Basic Fact Regarding Ownership of Benzova Photograph) " eww some kind of "family" that turned out to be!

What in the hell!? What kind of freak looks up porn videos containing an ape, saves it, then sends it!? Reading all of this is so gross. Benzova who had to deal with this shit in real life....

I hope Benzova kicks his ass!!!

Another video of it: The crowd noise at the end was cut short, but sounds like they were into it. Since it's been played live, will the song be mentioned in the news more?

Based on 1:59 in that video, I'm starting to suspect more crocodile, since it has a narrow snout. I haven't seen a clear view of the teeth yet to say with more certainty, but it also looks more like a crocodile's. Unlike the lyrics for the song, crocodiles (mothers) are great parents (the dad crocodile goes off elsewhere)

Can anyone tell if the visuals are showing crocodiles, or alligators?

Progress bar appears to be absent on desktop 😭

This person has recorded the General, but you have to wait until after all the guitar soloing and Perhaps. it's the person who livestreamed it in the twitter posts https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzKytyhOreo/

Another view of it:

A tiny scrap more

How was the audience reception after The General? Did they seem to like it?

I hope she will feel better too. I remember earlier in the year, there was some comments in one of the show threads saying she looked bored or disinterested. But considering her instagram posts, she's still pretty bummed out about a friend of hers dying young. and now she's dealing with this illness too.

We don't know the leaker's intentions, but if we go with the "leaker was annoyed by the delay" theory, imagine if the GnR camp communicated a week or two earlier before the shipping date, about how the vinyls they got didn't sound any good, so they were going to delay it, That way, the fans have more time to reset their expectations on when they'll hear the song, and they won't be as pissed. If the fans weren't as annoyed, maybe the leaker wouldn't have felt compelled to leak early. Maybe the terrible last-minute delay announcement is to blame, or a secret gift

For the anonymous glory of being part of GnR history forever! Or they wanted to see early reactions to the song.

At 3:52 of the General, I can hear something that sounds like that tune, buried under all the guitars and the singing. Can't tell if it's the synth or the horns though.

You could fall asleep with Axl screaming in your ears!? You must've been very sleepy!
