The horns! Please please please let Beltrami's work stay on the track Isn’t that from the Exorcist or something like that?

Intro or backing bed....Marco has contributed soo much to this mythical song! (1min 41 secs of General) Longest (starts at 1 min) Anyone else hear the hints of a demonic choir? I was in the Madrid show. 3 hours delayed, everybody really angry and when the intro to WTTJ sounded people went crazy. Was special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethalis Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 It's time to release this song already... personally I don't think it will sound much like the concert intro. Parts of that intro might be in the song, but the song itself (as a whole) will probably sound quite different. People like Brain called it "a cool jam".

Popular Post Cosmo Posted September 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2023 My current theory is that the concert intro consists of the isolated strings stems in the song, rearranged as they might not be present in every section of the song, especially made to be used as an intro. I think it's probably not the song intro itself as there are like... 3-4min versions of the concert intro and unless the song is 12+ minutes long, it's probably not gonna have a 4min intro to a 5min song. People would skip that shit like crazy. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Tino Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I think The General is that intro for 3 min, then cuts into Scraped, taking over the Axl scream intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 What if The General is the 2-3 minute intro, then cuts into what they didn't use from Eye On You in Hard Skool. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I think we’re anticipating the worst, because we’re GNR fans and it’s what we do. I think The General is going to be super dope in reality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot more stuff there than the usual recordings. The 2:34 part has this violin/viola melody that kinda matches the "woohoo" part of the cell phone (0:16).

Sweersa Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 They used The General intro for the 2011 shows, right? I swear I heard it in Chicago. Then in 2012 I think it was Dexter. Or maybe I have it backwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A parte 2:34 tem essa melodia de violino/viola que combina com a parte “woohoo” do celular (0:16). This makes me think that these arrangements were just samples to be later selected and edited in the final mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't see it working to use a 2-4 minute intro. I could see one minute, easily as they have done that, especially on CD. My best guess it we get a 1 min intro, a kickass track with orchestra up and down throughout the mix, then a 1 min cool down lap outro. I hope Slash plays how Robin/Bucket did on what we heard in the party clip, that was some nice guitar playing, and some which Slash should do well, if he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
