Silence

Its my favorite song behind Estranged.

Ditto. The General and Monsters is my second favorite GNR song behind Estranged.

Using your father’s income as an example is a poor one. 60% of people in the US live paycheck to paycheck regardless of income. Its a consumer culture.

Life is different now. That comparison is pointless.

It was released in an absurd manner.

I agree with your entire assessment of the song. Its criminally underrated and ranks amongst the best of the songs where Axl is featured in the back ground. Unfortunately I have not heard the song in a decade. It had sone great guitar work as I recollect.

I love both songs dearly, so you will receive no argument from moi.

The General reminds me of Blow Up the Outside world.

Or Axl was just lobbying for Paul to be his writing partner and Gilby can tour the album.

Slash once said that only Izzy and Dave Kushner were the only guitar players he could write with. Seemed like a dig at Gilby.

That felt obvious from the beginning.

Ok. That makes sooooo much more sense. I couldn’t fathom that girl was a Penthouse playmate.

I wonder who the girl is. How does one post a photo in here?

Yeah, but that photo of her and Axl demonstrates he was in fact a cutie.

The timing could be argued as strange. Thank you for the information about how human being’s can become ill. No human being in the history of the world has ever said “sick” to explain an absence. That never happens.
