I do like what I can hear on that cell phone recording, and that seems to be at least 1/3 of the song (2 min). I really hope for this to be the case. The Perhaps' video helped a lot and really made a difference. Do we know how long The General is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoochild Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 3 hours ago, Modano09 said: I just don't see why "it wouldn't work as a single" matters when they're just finishing up old songs and releasing them individually. There's no album that people may or may not buy based off hearing "The General", worse case scenario you release it to stream and people just don't like it. Of course on the flip side, if all they're doing is finishing up old songs and putting them out here and there it really doesn't matter if they tack one onto the single for another. I think it's just a matter of not actually spilling out the details about The General on this while the song is not yet released online. Maybe they'll update the artwork and promote it as more of a double single thing. 2 hours ago, pixiaofei said: 我有这首歌曲的小样 Chinese Democracy already started.

I think my recording is 6:30 minutes long, but I can't make out when the song starts because of all that noise. So I guess somewhere between 4:30 and 6 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 WMMR Philly played Hard Skool once a day for a couple of weeks.

Mikey Whipwreck Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It's been many years since I listened to the radio with any consistency but Hard Skool hit #9 on the mainstream rock airplay chart so it must have gotten some consistent play Perhaps debuted at #26 https://www.billboard.com/artist/Guns-N-Roses/chart-history/RTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay.Of.Execution Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Apparently we won't be getting the Song on streaming devices.

bumbleslash69 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 The Italians must have really taken the Spaghetti Incident seriously dropping all the news about the Perhaps single before anyone else. I still think it ends up on a streaming service, but if it doesn’t we’ll have high quality rips of it a week or two before the actual release date when people start getting their records early. Or we’ll have it as soon as they do get them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's true, it would be beyond stupid to not give access to this for the majority of the fan base who don't own a vinyl player. First because of course it would be ripped and shared as a mp3 (with lower sound quality), second because to lower the reach of the release is a testament of how the band views the quality of the song and how the fanbase should be treated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I'm sure a member or two here have the proper equipment for a high quality vinyl to high res audio rip if they indeed don't release The General digitally. I ordered 3 copies of Perhaps on vinyl so I wouldn't feel bad about downloading that. I'll happily order 3+ more copies of whatever next they put out on CD as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried buying it but the shipping to France is $22. I refuse to pay $22 on shipping for two vinyls that, together, cost $33. Don't they have an european store/warehouse? Damn.
