I love when there is so little GNR news to argue about that mid thread arguments about other bands break out that go for 3-4 pages. I can guarantee no one is arguing about GNR on the Stones forum lol 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Your Illusion 1/2 which were the biggest/fastest selling albums for a while - back then. I do quite Chinese Democracy too, your thoughts though may vary. Anyway UYI's were a decade after the date/stones tracks/albums I'm referring too. The point is the Stones may do big tours and be ingrained in pop culture, but those tracks people think of primarily when they think Stones were in general a decade and in some cases 2 before Guns releases Appetite for Destruction. I'm not saying The General will be great, I'm saying the Stones legacy stems from albums/tracks 40-60 years ago, not since. Only the Stones hardcores are going to care about anything since. I would argue the Stones’ status in today’s culture is more built on their live shows than their music. They’ve always been a band that does an exceptionally good job of giving everybody what they want; all of the big hits for the casuals, plenty of obscure deep cuts for the diehards, rotating setlists for the multiple concert fans, they do it all. They’re still one of the best sounding and energetic, and dynamic live acts even into their 80’s. They maintained a steady core lineup for 45 years and it took a death to break that. They put on an no stove and exciting stage productions, particularly between 1989 and 2007. They’re smart about the touring business; they tour often enough to ensure you never forget about them, but infrequently enough that it’s still a big event with a lot of hype. They basically wrote the rules of what it means to be a stadium touring act - nobody did things like they were doing before Steel Wheels. 1 hour ago, Coma16 said: Can you name 3 songs from the past couple of decades? Heck, even 1? Well the last couple decades isn’t the most fair metric since they’ve only released a covers album since 2005, but there were plenty of successful radio singles between 1981 and 2005. I’ll admit the albums viewed in their entirety were less consistent after Tattoo You. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The Stones’ 60s-70s output is so legendary, they would have never had to put out a single extra song after that. The fact that they have some great tunes after is a bonus. 1 minute ago, Sweersa said: Do any stones forums even exist? Iorr is huge 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be ok on that front...2 years on and Ax and Slasher were liste ING to "mixes" in that studio night before Glasto....surely one was Perhaps and the plural was General (at the least...) more attention going into these. Most likely, more of the last work of Bobby Ludwig....if so, we're safe from needing to nab our own sword and shield... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A digital release is another revenue stream. There's no way it's only going to be available as a B-side to a song that most people have already moved on from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because it's not being released as such. It's a b-side. It's all about Perhaps. Compared to Perhaps (and I guess Hard Skool), Absurd got very little attention – and that was a single – so a song that is not a single and is tagged onto a limited release vinyl probably won't get any fanfare. Why on earth would it? There's nothing to promote. They're selling Pehaps singles, not The General singles.

vloors Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 8 hours ago, Voodoochild said: Different audiences, and not exactly the same thing. The Stones are releasing an album, with proper publicity. Guns is just releasing another CD-era track, who knows if they will have proper digital release, and seems like they are not going for the same kind of impact and we shouldn't expect it either. Either way, people won't have to chose between the two releases. BTW, there's a lot of good Stones tracks since 1980. Voodoo Lounge has some great stuff, like Love is Strong and Out of Tears. I also liked the blue and lonesome covers album they released in 2016. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
