That sounded like a mix of Axl, Tommy and Dizzy...something like that. Wait, did they also play Quicksong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't remember that, but The General has stuff that's similar to the woo-ho stuff in Quicksong. I think I already posted about this last year BTW, good job @evader Edited May 27, 2020 by Mindray11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mindray11 for recording it. Without your quick thinking, I would have never wasted enjoyed working hundreds of hours on such a fine song. Regarding the guitar discrepancies, I don't know how to play any instruments so of course they aren't a match. The lead guitars are all made up. The stuff in the intro verse was pretty close to what I 'heard', but the solo was a complete replacement with some funky Bucket stuff I liked better. The early versions had the solo matched note-for-note, only with a Bucket tone and feel, but it still just sounded way too tame to me. The lead guitars in the screaming verse and outro are also just re-timed BH from some of his solo work. This wasn't made for public consumption, but I suppose I'm glad it found some appreciative ears. I was watching The Last Dance Episode: 9 and heard a classical composition that you once pieced to the end of your Silkworms remix. I always wondered where you got that piece of music. Turns out it was John Murphy Adaigo in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the instrumental to the eventual official release is as cool as yours. Thanks for putting in so much hard work on it. Axl's vocals you cleaned up from the party recording gives goosebumps.

Since I can't remember, my educated guess is "Canadian Whisky". Did you ever hear the version that has Bucket playing over that outro? It's super simple, but kinda magical too, I thought.

MrSpaghetti Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Would be cool(and utopic) if we managed to find these people that were present during these after parties/private shows, to talk about what they heard and even share some unknown recordings from these events.

Mrbrownskin Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Mr. Evader - I’ve never heard the leaked audio for THE GENERAL but what you created is easily one of my favorites of the “unreleased” songs. It kicks off my CD2 playlist and is the most interesting and progressive sounding track on there. Would love to know more about how you pieced this bruiser together!

The Matinator Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Sorry to bring up an old thread but I finally caved & added this to my CDII Album. Had the damn song stuck in my head too much lol. I put it at the end as a bonus track cuz I felt weird putting it on the album at all but turns out it fits there perfect (the song before it is Perhaps) good work again Evader.

Popular Post JimiRose Posted October 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2020 I have been listening to this a lot lately and decided there is no way anybody created this individually from hearing a phone recording. You expect me to believe you can take words from rock band, that axl sings, then retune and key them into completely different lyrics to fit a new song, whilst being able to play guitar like buckethead and finck in their exact tone, (not to mention the countless synths, piano, bass, backing vocals, acoustic guitars, rhythm guitars, layered vocals, drums, percussion) and then produce to professional quality standard? Just listen to the song. There must be 30 instrumental tracks on it. In the chorus there is about 15 axl vocals, some in different voices and tones. No one is making this except a band. We've been had. The general is a genuine leak of the first half of the song. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
