BucketEgg Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 The vinyl-exclusive-debate reminds me of one of the Beach boys song which is actually like that. Even now, it doesn't seem to be available on digital. if they're going to have The General as a vinyl exclusive for now, wouldn't it be nice if it came with a barbie doll just like that Beach Boys song did?

metalavenger99 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 If this comes out next week what a f'n relief it's gonna be... Add it to the playlist, check the forum for a couple of days, and then don't care about GNR for at least two years, good ol' healthy detox. Seems like a good deal to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that is The General, or it's actually something else... like Seven, because it has some resemblance to the Circus Maximus leak. But this is a lot of wishful thinking on my part as well. Most likely they will just release The General and nothing else for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much mystery left in the leaks. If there were more songs then from the sessions that spurred the 2006-07 leaks like Perhaps, the General, Hard Skool, Atlas, etc. I'd be absolutely amazed nothing popped up. Even a 10 second clip. Because the people leaking and trading music back then loved to let everyone know they had songs the public didn't. Even a song like Silkworms has an absurd history. Played in 01, a clip leaks post-CD, and then we didn't hear a proper studio demo until the Village sessions (right? I was out of the loop 2010-16.) If it was out there that whole time, you'd of thought we'd of heard it. Who knows! Fascinating stuff all around. I'm excited to listen to the General a handful of times and then check out on GnR for the foreseeable future. I'll always be interested and come back by though when something from that CD era pops up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner55 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I promise I'm not trying to be a downer, but was it just the 1 radio station saying new music coming? Did this station have any credibility with Perhaps? Not being a smartass, I just don't know. Time line of releasing a song and playing it live the next day could be an indicator of a plan. It just seemed to have come out of nowhere haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I believe Perhaps was released and played on radio for a few weeks before it was played live. Same with Hard Skool. Before Perhaps dropped on the radio, and was only available in some US bars, there were several radio stations and people here who worked in radio who said it was coming.

Perhaps was to release August 11, but was allegedly delayed last minute. Not in time to get it off every service, such as Touch Tunes. Then it dropped on radio the following week before GnR announced its release on August 18 with the full rollout of merch. I'm not sure the band even recognized that Perhaps was played on radio a day or so before they announced it. Where there is a smidge of credibility to the whole General physical ordeal is the first place to report Perhaps was coming out August 18 and not August 11, was Universal Italy. Same subgroup of UMG that has copy on their site saying the General will be physical only. They played Perhaps live for the first time August 18. The whole thing was a little murky as par the course.
