One of the Reddit mods is allegedly a member of TB or affiliated with them. I'm not surprised they would shut down convo on this or ban people for mentioning it. Did they ban Rick? I know he asked Fernando on there about it, fair play to him for that
He is someone from the PR company that manages GN'R's social media.

Does anyone have the ability to post a short summary? Is that GNR saying 'no'and moving to dismiss the claims against them?
It's the original lawsuit against Kat by GN'R (the touring entities). GN'R sued her first, because she registered her photos with the US Copyright Office as owned by her. GN'R claims that according to the contracts she signed, she has no ownership rights over the photos. It also says that Kat tried to sue them back in March (and indeed there is a filing in the legal databases), but the lawsuit was dismissed then because of some technicality (it wasn't filed properly).
So now Kat counter-sued saying that there was a period when she wasn't under contract so she owns the pictures she took during that time and that Fernando harassed her sexually on top of that.

The fan who heard the whole thing and recorded the two snippets also said that there were some keyboard-heavy parts.
#44 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 111 weeks ago
Those two certainly don’t. Are they from the same soundcheck as the clip Clear posted?
The shorter clip from Meegan's Instagram is from a later date, but the fan who recorded the two longer ones was confident that it was from the same song he heard.

There were two more clips from that same jam/song that was played at soundcheck last year and they don't sound like Monsters (or The General) at all:

Dude, it’s not that big of a deal. Axl said “I’ve been hit by a truck…” the kid said “you were hit by a truck” you can take that any way you want. And it’s not an alleged quote, Axl said it
It was definitely a poor choice on the kid's part, whether he intended to direct it at Axl or not.
I said "alleged" because it was hearsay, not a direct quote from Axl:
COLLEEN COMBS: Axl told me, "I've been hit by a Mack truck and the license plate said 'Seymour.'"
#47 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 111 weeks ago
From what I remember he was saying Axl looked like he was hit by a truck
No, he used the alleged Axl quote to wish happy birthday to his mom. I posted the link to the old thread above.

The last I heard was her son made fun of Axl, Erin Everly came to Axl’s defense and dogged him.
I must have missed that one.
I remember Erin's auctions that included journals/hand-written notes/lyrics from Axl, and then Instagram posts with her at GNR shows, but not anything like that!

IDK, on the AFD podcast after Brain talked about writing The General and Seven, he said "and I think Axl sang on The General". Not only did he not mention Axl singing on Seven, he wasn't even 100% sure about The General. Granted, this was in 2019 and his email regarding Seven was in 2010, but it seems strange he would remember so much about the individual parts of these songs years after being done with them in 2010 but then completely forget everything a decade later. I definitely view it as jest. According to others this is not the only email he would answer like this, he had gotten tired of responding and wasn't giving serious answers anymore.
Dude, absolutely. That “we wrote it while eating general Tso’s chicken” always sounded to me like he was joking with a hardcore fan, definitely tired of being asked so many questions. That “ball sack bridge” or whatever he said about “Seven” was another example.
I find Brain's General Tso's chicken story to be totally believable. It was a lengthy interview with the Appetite For Distortion podcast and he gave candid answers. He had no reason to lie about that.
Most of the titles of the instrumentals in the locker leaks seem to be just random titles the members who wrote them came up with - most likely inside jokes. And,naturally, the same happened with the instrumentals written by Brain and his friends, like The General and Seven.
It generally appears that the earliest working titles were given by the band members in the case of tracks that originated from them and not Axl, whereas the tracks that originated from Axl and were developed by the band had working titles that he gave them (e.g. Jackie Chan, Oklahoma).
Then Axl would either change or keep the same working title the band members came up with when he would start working on the lyrics. It looks like he sometimes used the working titles as inspiration for the lyrics (or at least the chorus), e.g. for I'm Sorry/Sorry - he had done this before, e.g. with Locomotive. Or the working titles would give him an idea for a loosely connected lyrical concept/subject matter, e.g. Shackler's Revenge, and The General seems to be another case of that. And when he couldn't do either of that and would just write lyrics that were totally unrelated to the working title, he would give the song a new title (e.g. Three Dollar Pyramid/Better).

The writing credits are not even right for the song, the left out some of the old band members from the CD era.
which is effed up by AxlThat website that people get the writing credits from are wrong all the time.
There are UYI songs where we know the writing credits and they are wrong
One of them gives Dizzy a writing credit he does not have for example.
The credits in these databases are not wrong. They represent who gets royalties for writing the songs, regardless of who are listed as writers in an album's liner notes (which can be just "written by Guns N' Roses").
Actually, in the UYI box set that was released last year the credits in the liner notes have been updated and are the same as on SESAC, ASCAP etc. with all the members being credited for all songs. Matt Sorum and Dizzy get a small cut of the royalties (1% and 0.5% respectively) for UYI and that's why they are listed.
It's all explained in detail here:
