Sonicjam Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I actually love absurd, but wish it had the chorus from silkworms. Maybe someone crafty can get Ai to put it in, utilising the live version and axl's voice on the studio release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick85 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Wonder if they’ll drop the entire next EP all at once, or parcel the singles out again. This is pretty nuts either way. I dare not guess when. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Well hopefully we’ll get both the General & Seven soon so we can compare them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is a certain phone recording... it's short and you hear people talking all the time, but in the background there's something that might be The General if I recall correctly. My memory might be wrong though .. all this stuff is very long ago lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slowness of releasing them is exactly what I would expect from Axl. He works on geological time. As for why these are released, I guess a combo of releasing music that has already leaked and/or chronology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was asked by someone if the other tracks he worked on had vocals to which he replied “no”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avahland Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 The General might make a live debut on July 11th in the Netherlands. It's the first time I skip the tour because it doesn't fit my personal schedule and I don't need to see the same show again..... And about "Seeing the same show again" I might be wrong. Already regretting I won't go see GNR this year....I like the changes...and there might be more. Rock on ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 'Cautiously excited' would describe my mood about all this. I don't think that list is fake....but whether we ever get to hear it, I don't know. A little bit of me wonders if us discovering and discussing it reduces the chancea of it happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Absurd Hard Skool Perhaps The General Then the next big one would be Atlas Shrugged since we knew NuGNR had that one ready to go and it was pretty complete with vocals. Axl mentioned vocals for Soul Monster… I do believe there was something in 2010-2014 semi ready. I don’t know if the alleged 2010 CD2 truly existed as a full album of 10+ songs, but I’d definitely believe there’s a few more with vocals aside from the Village Leaks. We are probably getting those versions with Slash and Duff pasted on where appropriate. (Oh my god, it’s 2023, and we are still making these same posts again ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Wait what?! So the setlist actually came from a credible source? That's huge! The General is like the holy grail of unreleased songs. Wasn't expecting them to release it this year 😳 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine hearing a GNR song that hasn’t leaked years prior to its release. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
