Popular Post --DEA-- Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 If everyone just could forget about all the demos and focus on the actually release 😉 Just like the CD members. When they were in the band that was wrong and now it's wrong this way. I don't get it 🤣 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is Robin's solo better, I like the 'riff' in the verses being played by Tommy better than Slash. Someone posted these on discord recently, this is the part I'm talking about: https://streamable.com/z24a47 Now that we've had the official version for a while, I think basically everything is better on the demo version except for the drums. The weeping guitars in the verses give the demo a haunting feeling. I like them a lot, but when I compare it to the studio release, the cacophony of sound in the locker leak is a little messy. There is too much going on underneath. It's like the guitar riffs are battling against Axl rather than complementing him. It sounds dope in the lyrical breaks. For example, in the first verse, I love the guitars after "now he is no more" and "like I was before." I loved the locker leak, and I still love parts of it, but the studio version is more preferable to me, including Slash's solo. I love that they kept in that initial bend, then another one underneath Slash's solo. "Perhaps" in its current form sounds more classic GNR with Slash's and Duff's parts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the demo does sound messy, but with a proper mix/master it could sound fantastic. I like that there's a lot going on though, the released version is almost too simple. Instrumentally, the demo is one of my favourite CD era tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It was just a demo, and we have only one version of it. Properly mixed and mastered, could sound just as good as the official release in terms of sound quality. -- Anyways, if anyone is interested in check some of the demo's original guitar arrangement, I did this: 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I like Axl's vocals on the official Perhaps more than the demo (except for his distorted dolphin sounds) the drums sound better (could be the mix), and most of all, the added backing vocals are great. The main riff seems more pronounced too, kinda get Sweet Home Alabama vibes from that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsvhsv28 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) The German Store (de.gnrmerch.com) says, release and shipping November 3rd. Any news about this? Edited October 19, 2023 by hsvhsv28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Just got an email from universal saying that the release date of the magic 8 ball has been pushed back to December 1st. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer to ask it if GNR plans have changed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hope it gets released on time in the UK and in the US so we're able to listen to this god damn General on YT before it's going to drive everyone crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I read in my confirmation email that the vinyl won’t be shipped until the release date, so there’s a good chance none of us will get it until a couple of days after the 27th I would assume?

This is the exact quote: ”If your order is or contains a pre-order product, your item(s) will be picked, packed and shipped within 24 hours of the stated release date.“ What I’m trying to say is that if none of us are able to hear The General next Friday, we should not be to surprised! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
