There's another version floating around out there somewhere that someone seems to have done that sounds like it's based off of yours. Either that or they were taking credit for an early version of your work.

I found an old EP of your stuff on my phone the other day called XMash, i think it was from the gnrtruth days. You gotta get back in the game Evader, show these AI using kids how it's done

It's fake. They have used an old fake version from ages ago as the framework and built a bit more on top of it

He does, but he also knows how to work himself out further chances by saying things like that publicly and not being diplomatic. If he boxed smarter like Slash and Duff he still may not be involved on the level they are but he would be a hell of a lot more involved than he currently is.

I can respect him being honest by saying things like that, but when you know all he really wants in life is to be involved, then why shoot yourself in the foot and give them reasons to not reach out?

Whoever his current singer is btw is fucking amazing, forget AI axl covers just hire that guy

Fortus interview. I'll post here as it's first time I think I have seen The General actually mentioned in an interview aside from Brando's podcast or something. Relevent parts clipped out below

“We’ve got a bunch of new songs, new music and we’re revisiting old songs we haven’t done before,” Fortus says. “That keeps it a little fresh.”
A new song the band has been performing is “Perhaps,” which he says has been revisited, reworked and rerecorded over the years since 2002, when he joined Guns N’ Roses.

“I’m thrilled with how it came out,” he says. “It’s a great song — one of my favorite Guns N’ Roses songs. Lyrically, it’s very mature, and I think it’s some of Axl’s best work.”

“The General,” which he calls the B-side to “Perhaps,” also was long in progress and could join the show soon.

“Absurd” and “Hard Skool” were introduced in live shows a year or so ago.

“We’re clearing things out — priming the pumps for things that have been around that we wanna get out and release before releasing new music,” he says.
