Sweersa Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Anyone who has heard The General in full, are there any swear words in the lyrics? I want to know so I don't get in trouble with my mom the first time I listen to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully expect a return of the Parental Guidance sticker on the vinyl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I heard the song everyone. I can confirm there is a one note of a DJ Ashba bend that lasts 10 seconds. I’m pretty sure it’s Steven Adler on drums. Chris Pitman’s towel solo was better than ever. I’d give it a 11/10. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off of the available evidence, it will only be released on vinyl. Anything beyond that known fact is the assumption. Not the other way around. I ASSUME that it will be digital because every mainstream band releases digital these days and it would literally make no sense to not do this. The General being vinyl only wouldn’t increase sales in the vinyl, it would lose them money if anything because the song would instantly be uploaded on YouTube by someone else. BUT this is GNR we are talking about. It wouldn’t be outlandish if they did something… outlandish Edited October 24, 2023 by Appetitefordiscussion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estrangedtwat Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 45 minutes ago, Flayer said: Has there ever in the history of the band been a song they put out on vinyl but purposefully withheld from their digital catalog? No. Is there any particular reason for them to do that now? No. To say it might never happen is just as much of an assumption as to say it will. The difference is that one assumption is backed by precedent, and the other is not. "Coma" from Live Era is still only officially available on vinyl in the US. It's on the Japanese CD as a bonus track. I don't think they've ever made it available digitally. It's out there, yes, but not officially from the band or label. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s wild for a band to release a physical only song, even GnR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't stopped working for seven years. Okay, so it's not the sort of work you'd like them to be doing, it's still work. They're anything but lazy. One album of original material since 1991 and a handful of singles is pretty pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I hope the poster really did hear it over the phone and isn't just another full of shit attention seeker like we've seen roughly 856 times in the last two and a half decades. All I want is confirmation that it's NOT State of Grace and that it's a finished song with vocals. If that's the case, I don't give a fuck if it takes two more weeks or two more months....if it really exists, we WILL hear it. I just can't even articulate how crushingly disappointed I'd be to finally hit "play" on The General and it's just a song we already heard from the locker leaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B-side for Hard Skool is still vinyl only. Albeit not an original song. It happens with bands of all sizes and songs of all types of quality and originality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, with Perhaps, their Linkfire link only went live hours before they published the song (not counting the initial URL redirect with the Perhaps countdown). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% confident that it's not State of Grace. As for having vocals, I kind of get the disbelief, but we don't really need any further confirmation for that either - maybe only for the amount of vocals. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Why did people get hung up on it being State of Grace? That chord progression is pretty common and it’s used very differently in SoG compared to the cell clip 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
