Which to me means, no one has access to the physical copies yet, or they’d be packed early and ready to go. Likely for leak avoidance.

Matt07 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 The solo on “Perhaps” seems to have a very similar motive to George Harrison’s solo on “Let it Be”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it I think this shows how there are many people outside this forum that knows about the song. It's not just a handful of mygnr members. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The fact that Slash and Duff are credited on Absurd and Perhaps is comical. They have a case with Hard Skoool but that song may have already sounded similar to the studio version before they touched for all we know.

CaioAKR Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Just now, Voodoochild said: “Without Paul there would be no Guns N’ Roses” Said first by W. Axl Rose and then echoed by Mr. Saul Hudson. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly safe to assume it's more about a money/royalties agreement between them and Axl rather than for a substantial songwriting contribution. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitchisback Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Finally got around to ordering the vinyl. Haven't heard Perhaps on radio for a little bit so it's probably a good week to release the general! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't replying to Coma16 (if I was, I would have quoted them). Rather, I was referring the general attitude of a lot of posters on this sub who pine for the ChiDem lineup and dismiss Slash's playing. There are a few posters who are *already* complaining that Duff and, especially, Slash will be featured on The General because they're convinced that Slash's guitar work will be subpar and not as good as Buckethead's original work...that they haven't heard. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry bro, but it's solely Slash's fault. People really think what Slash has done on Chinese Democarcy's solos is shit. And for years they criticized Finck and Buckethead for playing solos on classic songs here on the forum. Life is ironic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People really think what Slash has done on Chinese Democarcy's solos is shit. Sorry bro, but I’m not sure what people you’re referring to. I’m certainly not one of them. Slash’s “Better” solo is equal to Finck’s. His TWAT solo actually stays pretty faithful to Buckethead’s while also putting his own spin on it. People treat the This I Love solo like it’s fucking November Rain. It’s not. It’s a nice solo on the record, and Slash improvises it live. Why not? It’s not something holy that can’t be touched. As for Prostitute and SoD - again, are those solos really sacred works of art that can’t be messed with? I certainly don’t think so. As for the recorded songs? Both Absurd and Hard Skool were *improved* by Slash. Perhaps isn’t any better or worse than the demo, but that’s just down to it being a boring song in the first place. Again - the reverence for Robin’s solo on Perhaps blows my mind. Everyone has their own tastes, of course, but if you ask me, I’m *excited* that Slash is on The General because, to me, that means the song will at least have a *little* character, instead of sounding like some dated generic early 2000s industrial rock like the rest of the ChiDem leftovers.
