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 You know that as a fact? Wtf are you even saying?

Popular Post Arnuld Posted June 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2023 I will never understand why Guns has to be so secretive about everything. Who cares if that picture is out there? Literally the only people who care are a few hundred nut jobs like us that post on message boards still in 2023. We have been dying to hear this song for 15 fucking years (Baz mentioned it in that article in 2007) so the fact it is on a set list at all is a miracle. 🤞this actually gets released over the next few months 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 It isn’t real, sadly. The General isn’t even the song’s name. I think Perhaps and maybe Atlas will be the songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the song called then? 😜 I think he’s just going off the fact that when brain wrote the song he just called it The General cause he happened to be eating General Tso’s Chicken at the time, so it’s safe to say that it was originally intended to be nothing more than a working title/ placeholder name. That said, maybe Axl just thought it sounded cool and chose to keep it regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyWoodRose84 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Imagine if Axl were still able to sing these songs the way his original vocals were recorded… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happens some of these songs might never get played live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I wonder why they seem to be releasing these songs in pairs, and in this order. Interesting strategy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon87 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 When they released Absurd as the first of the two singles back then I was on vacation in northern Germany.

That was an ODD choice for sure. But it was one of the first songs he played live back in the start of the Chinese era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wreckless Posted June 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2023 Remember 2012, when they rehearsed Oh My God + the fact that Goin Down was on the setlist? Nothing happened.... Stay critical with this band, who often do things against the grain. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimiRose Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I can't do this to myself. I can't allow myself to get excited. My will is broken, the pain is too raw. I will not acknowledge this development again until it's either played live or released. Then I'm going to spunk all over my own face. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethalis Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) What worries me is that Marco Beltrami said (a long time ago) that Seven was a better song than The General. So even if there is a chance The General might finally be released, I'm not getting my hopes up too much. What if I don't even like the song? I'm excited about Perhaps though. I already know the song has potential and hope they actually improved it (instead of butchering it). The soundcheck sounds promising.
