Round out the album with “Wichita Lineman” akin to “Rolling Stone Blues” on the new Stones record… palate cleanser so to speak. Just now, saint_seiya_aka_buckethead said: its everywhere in the song. Use headphones Oh yeah, I think they’ve been using bits of “The General” throughout the entirety of NITL tour and even before that, upon listening to the official version again and again.

All the single sound different, different mixing different sound. These two songs sound EXACTLY what CD with Duff and Slash should sound like, in my opinion. But we get wanky riffs on hard skool and sweet home alabama on perhaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was speculated because it sounded like they used a studio version of “Slither” in a recent touring video. Heck, to me, it sounded like a really well-done live track. Again, nothing confirmed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did have something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRmello77 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 This whole thing general and monsters must be Axl's most painful song ever, it can't be any different. It's so deep and so real, maybe also the answer to why it took so long to be released! He's exposing his younger child here. This is a very vurnarable song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR123GNR456 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 The General is everything is envisioned would be a Slash/Duff redone song from the NuGN'R era. The beat, orchestra, plus Slash's guitar. Bring's me back to first hearing Chinese Democracy in 2008. Monsters is undoubtedly Soul Monster, and sound's mean as fuck and fantastic. Sound almost Marilyn Manson like, the verse atleast. And that bridge! Axl wasn't kidding about it being the "meanest section of anything I've sung to date." Overall, this is exactly how I envisioned reworked NuGN'R song's featuring Slash and Duff would be. I know Hard School and Perhaps are the clear radio hit's, but these song's are fill with much more anger and heart. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agustingloger Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I really like both of them! I think it's the perfect mixture of NuGNR style with Slash and Duff. And being 100% honest i love it. They sound like modern GNR and i like the fact they could do an appetite kind of record and go the easy way but they don't. Like i've read here it's for the hardcore fans. Only thing it took me of a little is Axl's high clean vocals on the generals. He doesn't sound like him. But all the electronic stuff with Slash And Duff sounds so good. I like the effects on Axl's vocals. Sounds cool and diferent. Slash and Duff are both great on this ones. The band sounds perfect and the drums are amazing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
