So, I hear you on Village...but some did report a little eventually and remember this clear distinction....in late 2019 no website was expecting a new GNR single...In 2023...a lot of these outlets just previewed/talked about Perhaps and promoted it with rumours pre-release, the leaked jukebox stuff and even some posted the YT links that were still the original demo + on release day pasted Guns press release and commented on the Vinyl release of Oct 27th which included "another single"....so all week they've been expecting this release (unlike in '19) and yet nothing, usually happy to be negative about any band (especially Guns) so I'd be surprised if it stays quiet forever as these outlets posted the most random of non-stories in the past, especially blabbermouth and loudwire, the like. So with the rise in A I and tons of dubious fake news, you think they're being more careful? Would be a first, must be legal reasons, nothing else would stop them in their usual trash rumour posts....this time it's a real story, so what gives... I am a bit befuddled by it.... Hope to god they stream this before the 8/12....or we're gonna debate this unnecessary endlessly (what's new....) 😸 I don't know man, I was a journalist for 20 years (until last July). At least me and my colleagues were a lot more careful indeed. Granted, I didn't cover the music business. It just seems like they are waiting to see if someone else takes the bait and go first with it. Or maybe they just didn't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t sound like Fortus or like the ones he does live Yes, the main lead licks were all Slash on Absurd as well. Don't know what Richard should be playing there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Axl had worked on them lyrically a little more. They all have such a predictable, boring and lazy structure to them all. They all follow the same formula of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, chorus, guitar outro, done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the same people that don't wanna believe that it's Slash on TG outro. Edited October 30, 2023 by Free Bird 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Slash and not some blbuleu kverlvjublbueklu dududud “guitarrist” I believe people are attributing the outro solo of The General to Buckethead, not the one in Monsters that I assume you're talking about. Monsters outro is definitely Slash first and then Fortus. I understand people attributing Fortus' part to Robin because their styles are somewhat similar but Robin's playing is more usually more expressive than this and he uses a lot of staccato to highlight certain notes. The Monsters solo sounds similar to how Fortus plays live. Coming to The General, one of the repeating licks in the outro solo is literally the fast repeating lick from the SCoM/Slither solos that Slash is well-known for overusing, just in a different order of notes and higher speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairieboy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Imagine having Monsters sitting around for all these years, but leaving it on the shelf to release Absurd instead? I can't decide if it's funny or upsetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
