No disrespect ti Evader of course. Whoever evader is, did a good job of making a track up, it's half decent work...and the clinically thick fell for it being real, the comments on YouTube when it was on there was funny...like people actually fell for it Decent mix though, it'll be interesting how the finished track actually sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post F*ck Fear Posted August 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2023 What I love about the next song being The General is that I have not heard it. I wasn't about to listen to a fan interpretation of something recorded on an old cell phone, either. Completely brand new to my ears, with not a clue of what to expect. Awesome! 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 A and B sides matter little in this day and age. Both songs will get the single treatment. Regardless, it's technically an R side in the context of this band, and we know well that historically there have been great GN'R songs on G and R sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a rare moment, it deserves respect (as grandiose as that may sound) It would be nice to have the original NuGNR version, before Slash replaces the solos with his own. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Even with all the rumors this summer about it appearing on set lists, I still can’t believe it’s concretely real and coming. Just so excited to hear this track, and even more that Slash is on it. If it really is the lyrical “sequel” to Estranged it’s appropriate that Slash is prominently featured on the axe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash being on it is the downside to me. I don't believe his solos will top Finck's or Buckethead's original solos, similar to every other CD song he's redone, live and in studio. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seb91 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, colonizedmind said: Yea...also maybe not his natural style...but say a song like Coma is pretty brooding....if Axl wants and requests, Slash is more than capable of delivering something atmospheric and dark...he is a huge Horror score fan after all....he'd be pretty psyched that Marco (like General) has worked on some of these other tracks....in fact if we're getting some of the ones we believe are coming, that's folks like Sir Brian and Marco and Paul, etc....I can only see us on a upwards quality trajectory with that talent involved and Slash is a competitive beast, folks of that sort always like to raise their level when working with talent like that ... Yeah, Slash when he's on his A-game is like a younger Brian May so I can't wait to hear what he has in store on The General. Given Brian's involvement with Guns in the late '90s and the fact that he's said he felt quite loss after the end of Queen, I wonder if him joining Guns full time was ever mooted. I'm now imagining Brian May and Bucket guitar duets... Edited August 20, 2023 by BassistSeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you believe it can’t top Fincks or Buckets solos if you’ve never heard this song before? It’s an unknown to us so when we hear Slash play it that’s all we’ll ever know it as.

You think your imagination is representative of the track....wow. hope you have a fucking mental kick ass imagination then!

I understand you completely but what I’m saying is we heard the previous ‘demo’ versions of Perhaps, HS and Absurd so we we’re basically biased to what we had already got used to, same as many old time fans couldn’t take to Nu Guns renditions of Old Guns songs. So The General being a song we are aware of but have never actually heard may be something we can hear unbiased and instantly take to what Slash plays.. hope that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say about a 20% chance. And the big question- If this happens will you listen to it or wait for the official version? I’ll try to avoid it. But I’m not gonna stress about it either, if I feel like it, I’ll listen. 1 hour ago, DannyVinyard said: I answered your question in my original post: None of Slash's replacement solos have been as good or better than the originals thus far.

Cosmo Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 For some reason, probably because of Sebastian Bach, Brain and other people's comments, people had the highest hopes for The General, Atlas Shrugged and Soul Monster. I feel like these songs will have a hard time living up to their expectations after all of the drama and mythos surrounding them. I gotta admit, Atlas was a bit of a let down for me when it leak. I still like the song but it's nothing out of the ordinary for GnR. I hope The General and Soul Monster end up being worthy of their legendary status. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
