GNRRHCP98

Fully realizing now that “The General” is SO much better live… the Hollywood Bowl debut of it was EPIC, I think the song works best when the brilliantly done orchestration is prominent (unfortunately it seems “buried” to me in the studio version) and you can actually see the band all in and engaged (ESPECIALLY Slash.)
 

I wouldn’t mind the live version from that gig dropping officially, kind of like how “ABSURD” live was the B-side for the “Hard Skool” 7-inch.

He’s got TikTok now AND there’s a redirect to his IG… something is brewing for sure.

Didn’t have this on my 2024 bingo card, but cool!

Maybe with the off year, he’s gonna be releasing stuff solo or further tease new GNR drops. It is very interesting for him to finally do this NOW…

new single in may would be clever

How so?

I feel like I’m in the minority, but I personally like “Killing Floor” MUCH more… maybe I have to give this one a couple more listens. 

This is actually f’n amazing… can’t wait for more details. Can’t believe this will be the first GNR recording with NEW Axl vocals

Duff, Slash, Axl, Ringo, Elton AND Children of the Revolution? Oh my God

Want to really break the headlines? Get Ringo on drums for a new GNR album…

 They must be planning a big announcement.

 

 

“Get ready for something else F’n special.” 

They seem to have neglected putting up posts for St. Paddy’s and Easter… could’ve sworn they were fairly consistent with doing those these past few years.

1. Mr. Brownstone

2. Pretty Tied Up

3. Bad Obsession

4. Street of Dreams OR Madagascar 

Bonus: “The General/Monsters” (ONLY together, I must preface)

When you think about it, Slash was the closest to giving us a concrete idea of GNR’s release plan (the CD outtakes reworked). It was just the timeline that changed… I think we expected drops in 2022, but didn’t get any, and then boom, Perhaps/The General/Monsters (leak) in ‘23. 

I have a feeling the “more to come” is “Monsters” and one or two other single drops… which would be QUITE generous for an off-year.

And I agree, this is far less vague of a statement on the possibility of new GNR music than any band member has ever provided thus far.

The cell phone clip sounds much more like the other CD songs. Bucket and or Robin guitars. Hip hop industrial influences. The Slash version still has a lot of the CD sound but is much warmer and bluesier. At least that’s from what I can tell from the cell phone clip vs the full leak. Would love to have both for comparison 

Never heard the cell phone clip, probably never will at this juncture…

But the current (90% positively final) leak of “Monsters” is the perfect love child of OG Guns and NuGuns… you know it’s a much more “matured” concept lyrically from Axl, but the guitar playing and, generally speaking, song structure screams Slash n’ Duff. It’s truly a banger.

Dude... this must be your first year. I've been reading this exact sentence since like 2006. 

Now, I'm generally not one of the negative ones, I do believe shit is coming... at some point, but do we ever learn or what.

Not expecting anything in the slightest, no sir… you have to follow the trial of breadcrumbs, and none have been dropped… yet.

But, again, doesn’t negate the fact that there is no tangible reason why, at the very least, a single can’t drop without an accompanying tour. We all can wish/hope/you name it the band sees it like that too one day.

”Monsters”, for example, makes total sense… THEY know WE know about it (heck, many HAVE it lol) so we don’t need much fanfare with it. Drop it and get a headline or two out of Rolling Stone, etc.

So, how long before we get the April Fools' album jokes? I know they started early at the end of last year with that whole Atlas Shrugged album and ridiculous artwork, but they should be ramping up again by now.

You mean THE “Atlas Shrugged,” found buried deep in the code of the GNR Store database?!?!?!?  

All jokes aside, Stones released a whole new album in October of last year, and aren’t touring it till this Summer. There really isn’t a viable excuse imo for Guns not to drop something… ANYTHING soon without all that jazz, even if it’s just “Monsters.”

i asked this in the Offical Media discussion, but is it me or is this a different mix of the song?

 

 

This is like maybe the second or even third time they’ve posted a higher pitch clip… I wonder if there is an alternate mix altogether?

100%

It’s like… at this point, they know WE KNOW of it (heck, most of us have heard it/have it).. why not just release it? I don’t think anyone is gonna lose sleep over it not coinciding with some tour dates.

“Amen” being the first ORIGINAL composition from the semi-reunited GNR would be quite a hoot. 

Plus, they did say in the press release for the “TG” music video that it was meant to “kickstart” 2024… 

Guys… I’m starting to like the MV (and song) more and more upon each watch/listen. And I appreciate the concept art provided now. But alas, everyone is entitled to their opinions, this one is just one o’ mine.

More context courtesy of Creative Works… so ya, I kind of figured this was supposed to be from the perspective of a disturbed child, this adds more detail to that.

I liked it… don’t LOVE it, but it’s something different.

There’s a lot of visuals in there that, to me, imply the nature of the song’s inspiration, which I think is a very bold creative choice.

Plans changed.

I’m more on the side of “9AM EST or PST”, otherwise they gotta change all their social media accounts that still say 1.24 

Ah man, imagine this comes with an LP/EP announcement!!!!

Looking forward to seeing videos of Don't Damn Me

That soundcheck from the GNR 2022 tour where Slash plays a bit of it, and Duff asks what it was will always make me chuckle. 
 

Glad to hear the song is finally getting some proper attention.
