Popular Post JAxlMorrison Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 I expected a variety of opinions here, hot and cold. Having heard them as one song, as intended (we think,) it’s an epic masterpiece. This is what we all thought Axl was capable of, hence why we followed him through a frustrating decade and change. And if that’s slash’s addition to the track, it’s some of my favorite stuff he’s ever done. He really dug deep to kill it on this track. Everyone involved should be more than proud. It’s complex, it rocks, it surprises, and it’s worlds better than anything else out there today. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real track "The General And Monsters" we don't know the length yet Thank you. I guess this is the first time I'm hearing Evader's mix. I haven't been fortunate enough yet to find the new one.

Place Holder I'm not sure, his IPI code is supposed to be 00127524289 so even if he was under another name, it would be the same number I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoMw94 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Ended up down a 'Saul Hudson' rabbit hole on there now. Sahara (from the solo album) is listed as Sahara and Sahara. I wonder why, and I wonder if that'll give us any more clues about The General and Monsters. EDIT: The One You Love is Gone is also listed as just 'The one You love'. Odd. This was also a funny (appropriate but unrelated) find Edited October 28, 2023 by DoMw94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s wild after all these years to have gotten “Hard Skool” in 2021 after how many times I listened to that 15-17 second clip on YouTube, and now to have “The General” and “Soul Monster.” My heart is full, you guys. If only they could have ACTUALLY dropped it to on streamers Halloween weekend. Edited October 28, 2023 by GnR Chris 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just searched on "GEMA" website just by the title and found it too. Duff has a different number so.. I'm lost ahah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general is more of a fan track Yeah Monsters has potential. Are we assuming these leaks are from someone transferring the sound from the aborted Vinyl pressings?? Hopefully as the sound quality should be better for the actual release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBucky Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 It's really good when both songs are put together. It's not Estranged quality, but it's damn good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's from the vinyl. And I think the song we'll have later on will be a completely different version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many years did we hear about that title alongside Catcher when CD was at that point just rumors and speculation - it is actually pretty crazy how many of the older song titles from those days we have heard in various forms Hell even a song like Oklahoma, of course just an unfleshed instrumental demo but it is trippy to me still 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggers Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 My reaction to The General is the same as OMG, I can’t work out if it’s genius or terrible. Monsters on the other hand is fucking fantastic! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love “Atlas” too. Wishing things with this band is almost an exercise in futility, but it’d be great to hear everything eventually in officially-released studio form.

Guitto Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 The General has an 70's vibe in some parts, at same time its modern, industrial, a little dark, weird. Love it, more than Monsters. The lyrics, man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
