This doesn’t bode well.
If true, you’re alienating your own fan base from giving you money. Not everyone is into vinyl or even physical media anymore. And then there’s the question of the quality of the song.
If false, they’re sneaking around when things should be clear as day. Here’s the plan, preorder now. And so on.
Might go back to hibernation mode. I tire of the Mickey Mouse stuff.
Yeah, none of this makes any sense. The only *hopeful* way you can look at it is maybe they’re releasing things that don’t fit the group moving forward and they’re saving Atlas and the others for an album. I don’t know, remaining secretive is not only stupid, it’s never worked for any benefit for this band

My hopes for the song just hit a brick wall.
You don't bury big guns on vinyl they know a handful will buy. They're still giving away the last vinyl they released to fan club members.
My 20 year old instinct shaping up to be true...Brains description nothing more than trolling and Baz being Baz, was mistaken about which song he heard... probably Seven or Soul Monster.
His song descriptions always sound the same anyways.
If The General is a steaming dog turd, my interest in the rest of the vault drops to zero, including Oklahoma.
I think we're about to find out why this stuff was sat on for 20 years...and it's not because it's better than what was released in 2008.
Also true.. and what if the songs Baz heard was actually State of grace??
We should let the General is State if Grace rumor die. Brain created The General, SOG already existed before Brain was in the band, and the lyrics and melody are clearly different

It has vocals, it’s not industrial, and the snippet we’ve heard is not terrible and has some bad ass Axl screaming
#304 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 166 weeks ago
Lol, holy shit. They really are just dumping stuff
Why wouldn’t you build up the songs that *haven’t* been heard?
I honestly need to stop giving TB credit when they do something competent, because they always follow it up with something ridiculous. I will hold off dogging until this is confirmed. But using this song to sell physical copies of Perhaps would be mind blowingly stupid. Just release an album then ffs

James wrote:The General was a working title from Brain/Bucket that simply stuck. I doubt it's mentioned in the song.
There's a handful of GNR songs where the song titles are not in the lyrics... Estranged the big example.
For the love of God don't let it be State of Grace.
Fernando called The General a monster on Reddit. He knows all the hardcores have heard the Village leaks, and he certainly knows the demand for The General. The guys a cunt but I don't think even he's that much a cunt to tease an unheard heavily anticipated track if he knows it's something we've actually heard already. That would be a new low.
It still makes no sense why it’s not getting a bigger release
#306 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 166 weeks ago
We didn't get it on Chinese Democracy because it didn't leak in the open. That album was just leaks and some bonus tracks to fill out the disc.
I still have high hopes for it. I'm just expecting it to be what could've been a killer deep cut on Chinese and pushing aside all the hype.
It can't pump up sales too much due to no one but hardcore fans knowing the song's history. It'll cause some hardcore fans to buy multiple copies though.
Lol, I almost posted that they’d be releasing it right now had it leaked.
I don’t think Sorry, Catcher or TIL were ever meant for that first album and it was all related to leaks.
#307 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 166 weeks ago
I would guess it’s a way to pump up sales
#308 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 166 weeks ago
This is so weird how they’re handling The General

Q: [...] I am very excited about Seven. Can you tell us anything about this song? Is it a rocker?
A: ITS AN TIMELESS BALLAD WITH A BLOW YOUR FACE OFF CHORUS AND A SUCK YOUR BALL SACK BRIDGE!!!!! (Brain Mantia, Appetite for Discussion, Aug. 18, 2010)
Lol

Brain turned in “his” songs before their first show, which is probably why Scraped (Lies They Tell) and The General aren’t in the locker leaks. It makes more sense that Circus predates Brain being in the band. But the way Brain described it does fit, ngl. I just find it hard to believe that after all these years of playing coy and vague about the recordings, Richard is suddenly going to be that specific to a fan
