Also for the leak part, that's because no hoarder has it, if they did... then it would have leaked years ago. What would be quite amusing is if we have heard it before without even knowing it! I know this has been discussed but what if one of the village leak demos actually is The General? Not impossible by any means. Brain would have worked on the song around that time I'm sure. Weird how Brain also worked on the score the 2003 film titled 'Monster'. 🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Sebastian Bach mentioned that "The General" was a sequel to "Estranged" back in 2008? Enjoy....good fun watch trip down memory lane...

colonizedmind Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Bach "General And The Monster" press (plus if Axl had that many words for his book then, can you imagine now?....may be largely edited now he's back with the boys tho...no cancer chapter) https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/axl-rose-penning-autobiography-sequel-to-estranged-184435/amp/ "in January 2007 when Rose rolled out new songs from midnight to 6 a.m. at New York’s Electric Lady […]" More than 4 albums worth of "finished songs". I wanna interview Bach and clarify this...or I'll have what he's smoking...(except I'd die probably) Edited October 23, 2023 by colonizedmind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only good bits in the song are the 5 seconds that Axl dispersed through out the song, of single strums by Robin and Bucket...as a nod to the folk who "used to be a little crazy now you're sooo much more...." If anyone says an Ashba solo is better than anything by Slash, you have the obligation to hit the ignore button on this person forever. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngunner Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Its great to have high expectations but there are plenty of songs in the CD vault that could be better than The General. This song is only hyped because it's a song that a few people have mentioned/described. It's not a holy grail song in the sense that anyone has described it as a big gun etc. It's a holy grail song because we are starved for music from the CD Era that hasn't been released and or new music in general. It has also never leaked. I expect it to be a solid song. If it's anything like the Evader cut than it's going to be a heavy hitter. Hoping for it to be a big gun but it's not like Axl has been working on this song like it's his Picasso and hes been purposely holding to release it. Its just a song that was created during the CD sessions that will finally see the light of day. Edited October 23, 2023 by youngunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashba got the current theme right though, we can give him thstx right? He went as Slash for every Halloween GNR concert! Then he forgot to take the costume off... 6 minutes ago, ShadowOfTheWave said: People have heard at least one solo though. The solo is pretty clear in the cell phone clip. Really? Listening to crazy frog 1000 meters underwater is more clear than that clip, I'd say... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 1 hour ago, Voodoochild said: Can I make some last minute predictions? - I predict the song will split the fanbase. Half will feel underwhelmed by it, because it lacks the classic GNR sound or sound too much like a CD era track. The other half will love it because they are ok with that. - We should get a lot less views on YouTube than Perhaps, which will drive people here to conclude that it was a failure. - People will say that Axl will not be able to sing it live. He will and it will sound like the usual. This is assuming the song gets released digitally and is played live at all, neither of which may happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
