End of October seems a long wait for a physical copy considering the main track is already released. im gonna make the big call that I think it’s an untouched version from the CD sessions. Hence why it’s only being pushed as a b side. It will definitely have Slash and Duff. I’m going to guess a September release so they can play it live at least once 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEK Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I know people keep mentioning it’s about child abuse, but I remember before CD was released a stripper from a club saying Axl played some songs and one was about a General in the military (there was some description about the lyrics). Did that turn out to be bs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackparker123 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Amazing news. A note to UK fans, don't rush to order the vinyl from the USA store, like I did for Hard Skool. Give it a week and it should be on the UK store and then you're not paying big shipping rates and extra taxes. Really hoping for a CD single also! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're releasing it with The General. Hopefully it gets a CD single release as well as just vinyl. What next? Dare we hope that we're close to getting an actual album? Well, Slash said they might compile the singles into an album at some point, so I guess we are. New music, properly new music, I am afraid we are very, very far away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Fantastic news. Although I wish they'd put Hard Skool and Absurd on it too. Fantastic news.

Popular Post ZoSoRose Posted August 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hot take- I’d rather get The General than a freshly written song. I want to “close this door”, first. It’d be great for them to write something, but I don’t think it’ll happen. I’ll take this, though! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I won't be surprised if some old NU GN'R members feature on the next album (like Brain) I doubt we'll get any official music released that doesn't feature Slash.

klakly Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) What a great time to be a GnR fan! Perhaps is out, I just ordered the 7'' with also The General, and finally we also have a cool official video for the single 🤘 Edited August 18, 2023 by klakly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the General is gonna be long and epic. Makes way more sense as the B side to the 4 minute piano driven rocker as the A side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather hear something Axl did 20 years ago over something from the guys who's last releases were 4 and Tenderness... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we all know how Axl takes his time in the studio. So if Slash, Duff n Melissa adding their touches to unreleased CD leftovers will get us an album out earlier I say go for it. Then let's hope for an all new album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Tune is Seven. Circus Maximus is Seven Ides of March is Seven State of Grace is the General Moustache is Monstrocity (Fortus is playing Robins solo on Perhaps) It's all just guess work 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "General" in the title is not a reference to a military General but the title was taken from General Tso's Chicken lol, which I think Buckethead was eating in the studio at the time? It's funny they never changed that song title after that and are releasing it as is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I remembering back I thought it was the verses of twat that were initially about child abuse and then later changed. All this shit is kinda coming back to me but I’m probably remembering wrong.
