Maybe visiting a GNR fan forum every day for 13 years. Also I think the General thing is worth its own thread Only if it's a really great song. I mean, just think about all these years speculating and when they finally release it, it turns out to be utter shit? The horror lol.

It will only turn out to be utter shit because of the changes made since the reunion .... Hardschool made me incredibly nervous about any other ChiDem songs .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Matinator Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Is there any reason people are bringing up Soul Monster today? Was it spotted somewhere or is it just peoples usual excitement for that song lol. either way this is exciting stuff. Perhaps is probably in my top 10 GNR songs & getting something mostly unheard like the General would be grand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @sofine11 pointed this out at the time. I sure did, though no one seemed to agree at the time though! 😆 Good memory my friend! 10 minutes ago, Kosonen said: Whats happening?

allwaystired Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 54 minutes ago, Gibson87 said: Rock is not dead, it's just not dominating the charts like it used to and people like to use that to support the idea that rock is dead. The rock and metal genres are alive and well, you just have to dig a little deeper to find quality music. I understand the appeal of buying a CD or Vinyl record but on the other side of the coin, why would I spend $12 on an album when I can pay roughly the same amount monthly to have the same album and millions of songs that I can listen to anywhere? Hell you can even find the songs for free on YouTube most of the time. If you want to support your favorite artists, buy some merch. They make a lot more money off of merch than album sales these days. Could do both? I try to, because fuck me do I hate how Spotify treats artists. Also, if I can't spare $12 (or whatever) for an artist's work that I'll keep probably forever.....then I'm in trouble! Firm advocate of buying CDs and records here. And even a few cassettes! 33 minutes ago, D4NNY said: We will be on this thread at the end of summer asking “Where’s The General?” 😅 Oh, quite likely.....but let's be excited a for a bit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnR Chris Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I love that half the people here choose to be excited as hell about “The General” on the set list, then the other half either think it’s fake or the song won’t ever see the light of day even if it’s on the set list.

Grayfox Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 IF it was fake. They definitely paid close attention the detail’s especially leaving off “the” on Down On Farm. I’m inclined to believe the setlist is real. Release Perhaps/The General for this tour. Then release Atlas and whatever else next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I’m both.. I’m excited but I also like to stay realistic. If it happens then great but if it doesn’t then whatever, life continues as is. We’ve seen songs appear on setlists on previous tours that never got played in the end so I try and stay level headed. Definitely hard not to be excited though with these two tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Yeah as bananas as The General being on the set list pic is, a chunk of me wants to remain in denial. What have they done to us?! 😆 Edited June 6, 2023 by sofine11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played an instrumental part of the song to start every show for years and never got around to releasing it ... Now if it does get released (over 10 years later) it's going to not even be the same as it was then ... This band is a JOKE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are posters at this forum that confirmed the Spotify incident DID mean something. Those posters (or at least one of ‘em) had a contact high up at Spotify. Obviously, nothing came of it at the time, but who’s to say the tracks’ data wasn’t given to Spotify last year in readiness for when the band could be arsed to release them?

I think it's not such a bad idea to be optimistic, but not lose perspective if shit doesn't go our way. Currently, I'd say it looks good, like there is a chance a song or two will be released fairly soon, but yeah it's Gn'R and that's always good to remember imo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Was The General on the RIR setlist back in 2011, or was the only new song Going Down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Not gonna get my hopes up. It's probably just some separate story about a general that Axl likes to read during soundcheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
