No offense to those involved in that discussion...I love you all....but it's time to move on from that. No one is gonna budge from their position. No need for the insults either.
Is Claude still MIA? I've been gone for a couple days. Is he going to be surprised when he comes back.
Sent Bri an email. He's been gone since Hard School.
Wish you'd send one to buzzsaw too. I know I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed his posts, son.

Zodiac, Quick Song, Curly, Elvis and Dtune seem far more structured, produced and polished than Better and Shacklers were at that time. Even Sorry. I’ll be shocked if more than a few of them don’t have vocals. I can’t see Axl being stumped on them.
That's a really great point. No telling how many vox versions of tracks exist in some form or another. I know we like to think the hoarders have tons of goodies, but there are probably more random people that worked on the project that truly have the holy grail of this era.
#43 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 84 weeks ago
I would say chances are Zodiac has vocals. Why include a no vox tag on RM2, if there wasn't at least a scratch or scatting vocal take recorded.
With that said, we were way off on that cellphone clip being "The General". We are probably way off on most things we assume to be common knowledge amongst the fan base, including our assumptions about certain members of the fanbase itself.

Didn’t MSL sell the site to a female member there? It was her and mojo, and they wouldn’t let anyone say anything negative about the band. The site is dead/defunct now. Literally killed it. MSL nearly banned him before leaving the site to the lady, can’t remember her name.
I’m convinced he was UziSuicidal
There was most certainly a link between that site and the uzi suicidal bullshit takedowns. Maybe M traded the forum for that mythical other Village disc with Soul Monster with Bucket on lead guitar.

I haven't talked to him in about 3-4 years. I don't really have anything against the guy.
Having said that...
What killed GNR Truth was the immediate censoring of the Village leaks. That forum was still rocking and rolling at that point. It went from tons of activity to a ghost town overnight. I checked it a year or two later and there were 2-3 people hanging in.
You can't prevent a starving fan base from listening to and discussing leaks. Well you can...but you see the results.
HTGTH also nosedived in activity from a similar approach.
I kinda understand where they were coming from...it was a MASSIVE leak and as we now know, GNR wound up releasing a few of those songs.
Like I said though...it's just not feasible with this fan base. Don't forget...mygnr and HTGTH initially considered such an approach in 2006-7.
Try to stop discussion...people just go to one of the other forums.
Look how many GNR forums have existed over the decades and how few were left once we got to the reunion, Village Leaks, and today.
It had a good run.
For the record, this Finck dude is definitely NOT Mojo.
A few years back Jordan Rose at Mygnr said that 95% of the other accounts on Gnrtruth were Mojo alts, and he was just talking to himself the entire time. He also said MSL abandoned the site when he found out. Have no idea if any of that was true or not.
I think once the extreme censorship started there was a mass exodus of the actual real posters. Then it was like 5 or 6 usernames, that I had never seen on any other gnr forums I lurked, that were die hard gnr fans and they all agreed with eachother on literally every subject.
Don't get me wrong, when it first started there were several long time gnr forum posters and some the most hardcore collectors. Levi, deelowbrown, fearthejuggalo, and trocoli all posted there. I registered there myself. Then I said something about how crazy warchild was on evo and then suddenly I was banned the next time I tried to log in. I totally buy that it was 95% alt accounts by the same very crazy person. I bet they all had @aol email adresses.

Not sure if it's been talked about in this thread yet, but pretty sure solo will in The General will be a lot less strident & piercing when the vinyl comes out in December
VPN's are pretty great...until they're not. You should start your own Robin nut swinger forum. You'd be the Mojo for sure.

Definitely the best leftover released.

Axl S wrote:The ASCAP listing having both the songs gets even more confusing.
My three theories for it now:
1) It's meant to be two separate listings and the TB Elite Management Team fucked up
2) It's meant to be together on a full album-like release but it's split up for the B-Side.
3) Monsters was meant to be a hidden track on the end of The General on the Perhaps vinyl3* This is impossible.. the 7" vinyl have a limit of 1 song per side.. the lengh max is 5 min..
Somebody better let the November Rain 7" vinyl from 92 know then.

I think the fact that it was leaked alongside The General would make me infer the leaker assumed (or even knew depending on the source of the leak) Monsters was going to be released as well. I don't see a hoarder unloading a treasure if they didn't know it was going to becom "worthless".
I would say hearing tonights version confirms its slash and duff on the leak?
100% for me. I was in the two eras leak camp, but it's definitely slash and duff on both leaks. Any more debate is qanon level lunacy.
#50 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns n roses played the general » 84 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?
If they play Monsters or Atlas, i would mark out like an AEW fan during an Kenny Omega, Will Ospeary spot fest. I wouldn't care if he went full Mickey on the bridge.
