It might have just been stripped from the actual song. Something that was underneath the verses and chorus. Still, I like to imagine it was an intro on the CD2 version when it was still a 7 minute epic or something. Biggest fear... Beltrami's strings removed and replaced by Melissa's keys. Or backing vocals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full GNR soundtrack for a movie would be glorious… if only though 😅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnal894x Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Unfortunately it's likely it won't have a cool intro like that or if it does it won't be a very long one. I do hope that the song as a whole is at least 6 minutes and some change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been under the impression that the The General played before CD shows was the instrumental of the entire song and not just an intro for it.

As far as we can figure out from the phone recording, they simply lifted the orchestration from one part of the song and used it as a concert intro. It's most likely not the actual intro from The General, just one part from the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) That could be an intro for some gangsta rap kind of thing. The beginning of it at least. I hope The General is a hard rock/metal tune. Edited September 5, 2023 by Free Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Voodoochild Posted September 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2023 I'm hoping for a song with complex structure, i.e. stuff like Locomotive, Coma and Estranged. Above all, I hope for Slash to really shine in this song. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some songs can really use a good amount of crunch. Thinking this could be one of them. Hoping for some good saturation and delay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I Love, There Was a Time, Better, Street of Dreams, IRS and arguably Catcher all have pretty damn good solos.

DarkLotus1111 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) So I'm listening to "Melting Man Part 2" by Buckethead (Pike #10) and parts of the song reminded me of "The General" cellphone clip.

Martin Riggs Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I’m hoping they release this on Friday 9/15 and play it at that night’s concert. Perhaps is kinda stalling anyways and the quicker these holdover songs are put out the quicker we can get new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
