I want it to be completely fresh and I’m just so so excited. I actually would like to hear what it sounded like with and without Slash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) If my math is right, not counting teases, The General will be the 100th officially-released GnR song. It’s 104 if you do count the following teases: Only Women Bleed Hotel California I Was Only Joking Voodoo Child (Slight Return) There’s also It Tastes Good Don’t It from Tokyo 92 and Dead Flowers and Someone Saved My Life Tonight from the O2 2012 thing, but those were only video releases.

Popular Post Free Bird Posted August 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2023 We had Absurd and Hard Skool long before the physical release. Could be the same with The General, couldn't it? I don't like to jumb on the "New album bandwagon" but if there's something like this in the making, probably like Slash told at first we get 4-6 songs as piece meal and then as a full record, then I hope they supplement the record with completely new material. Basically a second Lies, with released and unreleased (and new) songs combined. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GNR4Ever2024 Posted August 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2023 The General being released is more important than the birth of your first child for some forum users. Completely understand though 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a second Lies, with released and unreleased (and new) songs combined. and Perhaps has so far got loads of positive comments and the band is trending on Twitter (X), Youtube (currently 12) and is #1 on itunes in a lot of countries so this may give Axl the Courage to release more songs and record a new album at last. maybe a little bit of wishful thinking but who knows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) This track was already at legendary status when I first became a fan in 2010. Surreal to think it's actually coming out soon. Edited August 18, 2023 by ShadowOfTheWave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all the unreleased songs we had information of, Atlas Shrugged and the General were the two I was most interested in and it will soon be reality to have at least one of them released officially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jacdaniel Posted August 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2023 People only like it because it's called "The General" and someone said it was epic. This one is really built up for a big fall. Like Atlas. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting that they're just dumping it as a B-side though as if to keep expectations in check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro GNR Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I never heard Evader's version of the song, but I'm sure it will be nothing like it... I'm glad its gonna be new to my ears and hope to every other fan as well. Let's hope for raspy screams from Ax and finally a really good Slash solo as the ones he's come up with for so many - not to say all - GNR songs 5 minutes ago, jacdaniel said: People only like it because it's called "The General" and someone said it was epic.

Like Atlas. heh a ray of sunshine, as always, but that's not the reason why I want to hear The General. reasons: Bach's favorite from what he heard back then Beltrami worked on it orchestra intro sounds menacing it's a Brain song which he said is too good to not be released in general, it's a compeltely new song for me/us compared to the 3 singles that already got released it seems like it's different in style compared to Absurd, HS, and Perhaps, maybe more ambitious in nature which should spice things up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walapino Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I think the reason The General was put as a B Side is because its probably a longer song that wouldnt have work for the radio promotion they did thursday. Perhaps that was the reason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillConnor_1982 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 What’s the longest 45rpm 7” single released? It can’t be TOO long since it has to fit on the record. Maybe 5 min? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah that reminds me, I forgot to say my usual thing: Thank you Axl for HardSkooling me in the ass and Perhapsing me in the mouth and Generaling me in the dick. Next I wanna be Atlas’d in my eyeholes, and then Berlin’d in my earlholes, and finally, Soul Monsterd in my noseholes. 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
