I'm checking on here twice daily for any updates, think I just gotta take a chill pill and leave it for a week or so. Good times. When I made that countdown it was 70+ days to go or so! It's come around quick...but also feels like "forever and a day" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRmello77 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 @jimisbatman same here, it occupies my thoughts! Like every day after breakfast during the first cup of coffee I go on here to check for updates...

colonizedmind Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Big jesus....we've really kept the fire burning on this one....15 years and still we got anxiety jokes.... After this wait, Axl better leave the stage randomly on the 27th and come back "As ordered by Bucket...it was only right I don this mask for the next song".... *Puts on Gladiator Helmet* *Performs General* Edited October 13, 2023 by colonizedmind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Beltrami: That was sort of just work for hire. I guess they'd heard some of my orchestral music of mine. I met with Axl and he played me these songs, asked me my ideas about them, and I told him what I thought they needed. They gave me four songs to orchestrate. A couple of them I did more than orchestrating, I actually wrote some melodies and stuff. It was a fun project. I really enjoyed it. The music was eclectic and at the time that I was doing it there were no lyrics on the songs that I was working on. People ask me about the album and I really have no idea about the release. I thought it was coming out last September. I'm the wrong person to ask about that. IGN: He came to you with the tracks then, so you weren't ever in the studio with the musicians or anything like that Marco Beltrami: No, they had finished tracks. On one song I actually wrote a guitar part, but they pretty much had the band tracks down and then I added orchestral stuff on top of it. IGN: What songs were they, by chance? Marco Beltrami: A song called "Seven," which is the one that I did the most work on, I actually did some writing on. There was one called "Thyme," one called "The General," one called "Leave Me Alone."

SlashisGOD Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I always thought Leave Me Alone was on that fake tracklist from Rolling Stone, the same that had Cock-a-Roach Soup. Where did Rolling Stone get those titles anyway? From Axl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do his Reckless Life voice live if he wants it’s just whether Axl wants to put effort into the General over something else while preserving for shows. Hope it makes him angry! He does usually try with new songs (full rasp Perhaps chorus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Phoenix Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I can just imagine it now, the beautiful Marco Beltrami intro blasting through and then boom….

Nick85 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 So we’ve reach the point now where it’s weird that this still isn’t out yet digitally, right? Same day as physical release then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
