But I can't argue about your point regarding old GNR fans being satisfied with the current state of the band. Of course they're happy seeing idols together having fun. ❤️ Success metrics aside, I am not sure how one compares the NuGNR body of work (CD) against AFD/Lies/UYI output or quality wise. Maybe some believe that CD alone trumps all the previous stuff, but I tend to believe that’s a VERY small minority. Maybe you preferred the NU guys (in the various incarnations) live, but that is just about the only way I can see it, but hey it’s just my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to make a pack to listen to the hell outta of it when it's officially up, as if we want more we want this to get some decent numbers and traction, despite its premature birth (again!) We must mass watch it! They should immediately put out the audio now on all platforms, with the hype that the video follows on Friday, so they can keep that part somewhat in line....

rocknroll41 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I’m trying to catch up. Why do we think someone other than caram mixed this? Are we just going off the fact that it sounds better than the 2021 songs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaguns1982 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Why do some people think that “the general” is going to be released? It want even ever confirmed what song was on that shitty fashion show clip, it was definitely Axl. But cmon man, people just make so many assumptions based on nothing around here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyRais Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 It's not just the heys that are different, I think the voice is different from the leak version, for example the first "I wanna know how it feels" is sang differently from the leak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible cover for a single?

Popular Post colonizedmind Posted August 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2023 Next week...The General is released but exclusively in general stores across America! Atlas Shrugged to follow in November....but only available if you find the correct tape hidden within a book at your local library. Then finally, State Of Grace is available but you must pay to sit in a NASCAR and get driven around for a couple of laps while it plays. This GNR Marketing was brought to you by 4 hour meeting productions. "Hope to see you soon boys and girls but right now...." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Deep Purple MkII v MKVII. I was sad to see the original band fall apart, and equally sad that NuGuns did not live up to the huge opportunity and that we didn’t hear more Bucket + Axl. Certainly I think what we have now (legacy tours, worse musicianship, no new music) is worse than both those eras (although not as bad as the Ashba years). Obviously quantity wise “original” Guns win. Quality wise some of Guns best songs are on CD. But songs like Paradise City and Nightrain will always remain more iconic. It is what it is, almost unheard of for any band to totally reinvent itself and match early career levels (particularly when that early career was so successful). Probably an impossible job. There is no true comparable precedent that I can think of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I know we've talked a bit about new vocals, but listening to the Village Sessions, it seems at least the deep vocals in the chorus were present back then, just heavily buried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucket can't fill more than a small theater. about the CD quality topic, that's just like your opinion man, wasn't well accepted with the general public. In the Public eye wasn't the same band either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
