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. 33 minutes ago, bumbleslash69 said: Ironically enough, didn’t they release it as an MP3 back in the day? Not disputing what you’re getting at. I don’t think it’s wild for a band to release a physical only song, even GnR. Yeah, Coma was available as a free download on KROQ site back then, IIRC. Also, it’s a live song. Not exactly new material. The same goes for Hard Skool live tracks. Those are totally different scenarios. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 10 minutes ago, ZoSoRose said: 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 It just that it doesn't take too much for a good portion of GN'R fans to create a conspiracy theory and then get more people hung up on it. In this case, the combination of people pointing out some similarities in the chord progression, of the "mystique" and hype surrounding The General, and of the fact that State of Grace is a song we had never heard of before (there's this weird perception that if a song hasn't been mentioned it must be really another song that we know of), was enough.

NeonKinight Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 That's what I could understand from the lyrics of Minday11's phone audio : [...] Of you now Who would do this, to you? (2x) To the young! (Axl sings something, but its indistinguishable) 0:21 In fact you do it Who ??? of all that ??? Who wants, to lose? ~ Solo ~ ~ Orchestra Comes In ~ My hopes, my dreams are dead now But it's nothing for you, do they bother you? There's a child, I don't care, on the bed now To leave a stain upon their soul because I wanted to [...] for you, or your child But this time you've broken everything inside [...] I am never Satisfied that's just part of you does it bother you???"

ajoota98 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 alright, if anyone here has already listened to the song, why isn't there any cellphone recording of the song? Because that excuse about don't know how to rip the song from the vinyl isn't good, just record with the cell phone and send to the web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way it's shorter then both perhaps and hard skool I know I would have trouble discerning how long a song is by listening to it through a phone, or through anything, really. I would imagine The General is at least one minute or ideally, two minutes longer than Perhaps or Hard Skool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonKinight Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Everyone says so far its a 10min song or more, and a sister to Sorry and Madagascar...but ok, let's believe it's 3mins long in a vinyl that can hold up to 7 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
