sascha Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 That teasing sucks.They should just play the song and get us pumped for a studio version.Worked in 2001....for seven years...lol.Seriously, the teasing is getting old. Play the song already, nothing to lose only to gain.If The General is really what they used as an into that sounds pretty cool and dark, I like it.Bring it on!

uruguns Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 If this proves anything, it's that the so-called hoarders are full of shit.Not a single one of them who claims to have "The General" has ever come out and said "the show intro is from this song".Right, this. If this is not sarcasm then this means that the "hoarders" don't have anything, which is what I thought for a long time.Not necessarily. What if the hoarders have an earlier version of the song without the intro? Kinda like how Riad had the added intro in the final version.no one said that the intro to cd was the intro to the general, it could belong to any part of the song, like prostitute bits used in 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Think about it, Cobra. This General thing is like, 90 seconds long. Do you really think Axl would just THROW IT ONTO THE FIFTH VERSION OF THE SONG and then USE IT AS THE INTRO TO HIS SHOWS?No one has the song.

ManetsBR Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Yeah, GNR said "the intro of the concert is the general", not "the intro of the concert is the general intro".It can be the intro or the outro...Oh, and even that "Robin F~" guy. Didn't he say The General was 7 minutes long? Why didn't he just said that it was the Chinese Democracy Tour intro?

Liquor & Whores Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) so, based on the aforementioned infothis is NOT "the general"and none of any other "piano moving jams" etcplayed in the middle of gigs Edited December 12, 2010 by DrDrei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangit Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 If The General is really what they used as an into that sounds pretty cool and dark, I like it.Bring it on!Have to agree, the intro is fucking cool. Hoping it is part of the track or another track - it should be!The 'sound' of the intro does seem to fit the same sort of intro / style of cd tracks. Axl has spent a lot of time on the instrumental intro /outros on CD - TWAT, Prostitute, CD for example so no reason to think the other tracks we have yet to hear would not follow the same theme. I agree with Gunsguy, this is not from a film / other source, it is original. From memory i think this chat came up in 06, didn't Chris write this...? Anyone remember?

Spirit Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Yeah, GNR said "the intro of the concert is the general", not "the intro of the concert is the general intro".It can be the intro or the outro...Oh, and even that "Robin F~" guy. Didn't he say The General was 7 minutes long? Why didn't he just said that it was the Chinese Democracy Tour intro? Sounds more like an intro than an outro..

ManetsBR Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 That Jam from Osaka '07, there's a whole thread speculating if this is an actual song, but Ron said it was really just a jam.
