Slash said in 2019 that the redone CD stuff was enough to fill a record. That means at least 8 songs, maybe 10. We have gotten 5 now.
Atlas
Seven
Oklahoma
State of Grace
Quick Song
All of them could be in play.

I don't get the fixation with Israel. What's the relevance? Not like they've ever done anything for us.

I kinda like Scraped. The intro voice is pretty meh, but the rest is better than most on CD. He's being raspy and that's far and between on that album. But my favorite part of Scraped is the solo.
Maybe 2006 Rock Am Ring Jungle scream gives Rio 2001 a run for it's money. I believe 2006 is one of the best he's ever done.
Yeah it's up there. In the early 00s Axl started using much less rasp to preserve his voice. The upside was that his technique had gotten better and he could deploy immense amounts of power. 2006 for me is too controlled. In 2001 and at the VMA's he is in full animal mode, with the unfortunate result of blowing out his voice, so he stopped doing that. But my god those were epic screams.

It sounds like his voice from the MTV VMAS which was awfulWe must have different ears.
You dont think the "my only regret......" part sounds like this
The VMA catastrophe is the last thing I'm thinking about when hearing this. The voice is similar, but here it actually sounds good. In Jungle it doesn't.
Not only do I like the voice, but of course the melody. Axl was pretty weak on the CD we got imo. Not here.

polluxlm wrote:The leak and live sound exactly the same so it is Slash. But it also sounds like he's playing a BH solo. It would be very interesting to hear the original takes.
I think for me this is Axl's best vocal take in the CD era. Only other thing that comes close is the scream in TWAT.
You think the general is Axls best vocal take on the CD era stuff? i think its one of his worst right up there with scrapped.
Oh My God is also good but only in the verses. This has a great chorus.
Stuff like This I Love is too Michael Bolton for me.

#249 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns n roses played the general » 132 weeks ago
I know it’s too little too late, but I was listening to The General loudly in my car today and it did sound like Slash to me. At least it sounded like it could be him. I still believe the versions that leaked are basically what is going to be released, just mixed better.
Regardless, good sign playing it live. And it did sound pretty close to what we’ve heard. Will “Monsters” be next? Maybe save Atlas, etc. for the next round of dates?
It sounds like Slash is playing a Finck riff and a Buckethead solo. That's why it's confusing I think. Slash usually doesn't play like this to my ears. The sound is there, but not the style. Hard Skool and Absurd are a lot more Slash than this.

I don't think it's a hoard. Both songs were newly registered on ASCAP so that suggests they are tied to a release which has now leaked. They are registered as one song so who knows what that means. Either they are both on the vinyl or there is another release coming. Judging by the live show these vocals may even be new.
