bangit Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Can't wait for this release, really hoping for a beast of a song as has been anticipated for years. Am I right in thinking the intro for the shows way back in like 2006 etc was meant to be from The General? Also, do we think there is any chance State of Grace could be The General? I just find it so strange that from all those village leaks that The General wasn't included... Perhaps under a different title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoMw94 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Did some snooping on 'another forum' – looks like Nightrain members are getting a live album at some point. Edit: I Might've jumped the gun here. That post was from March 5, so could be referring to the EP that we know about. Not really an 'album' though...

Cool. Just throwing it out there.... The intro was epic on that tour. Horror movie stuff 😂 What I find hard to believe is that The General doesn't appear to be in the Village leaks at all.... Given how much content there was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find that hard to believe cause even if it seems like there was a lot of content there, I suspect that it's a tiny part of what Axl got in his hard drives. At the very least it doesn't represent everything Axl has managed to hoard over the years. Agreed about the intro, it sounds cinematic and horror movie-like which is nice.

I just find it so strange that from all those village leaks that The General wasn't included... Perhaps under a different title? When I was listening to the The General clip from that Vienna afterparty 2010, it's clear that The General is a different song. Even more heavier than State of Grace it feels like. It will be interesting to see how Slash has redone those guitar parts that are partly audible in that Vienna clip. But I gotta agree that it's interesting that The General wasn't in those Village Leaks. EDIT: Went and listened to that 2006 intro from youtube clips and jesus, I didn't remember that sounding so cinematic. IF this truly is the intro The General it will be EPIC.

Lethalis Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The General might actually be about a monster. Just in time for halloween. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLotus1111 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 It could be a "monster" in the form of unexpressed trauma that Axl may have had in the past. Perhaps some angry references to "Estranged" since "The General" was rumored to be the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 49 minutes ago, BillConnor_1982 said: 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? 7 inch records (also called “45s”) are referred to by their playback speed of 45 rpm and their standard diameter of 7 inches. At 45 rpm they hold around 4-6 minutes per side. https://standardvinyl.com/vinyl-pressing/7-inch-records/#:~:text=7 inch records (also called,4-6 minutes per side.

Grayfox Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I’m thinking we will have ‘The General’ September 15th. Once the songs are out of their hands and being manufactured for release the door for leaks open. The track record for leaks and mishaps is.. extensive. So I think they will try to be ahead of it. I just hope The General also gets its own single artwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alejandro GNR Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Someone should try and ask @flebeisis State of Grace is indeed part of The General or not, and if it isn't if its still to be released. Fernando said on reddit something along the lines of "Perhaps is a great song. The General is a monster"...so he may answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
