They're different songs, it's a title change.
"Leave Me Alone," "Seven," and "The General" could also feature on the new album. These three A-listed songs were worked on by Marco Beltrami, especially "Seven," which Marco deems as the best of the three songs. It has also been reported that Marco worked on a fourth track, "Thyme." However, this song was not worked on subsequent to Marco's work in October 2002. (Jeff Leeds, Sp1at website, 06/05)
"[GNR] was sort of just work for hire. [...] I met with Axl and he played me these songs, asked me my ideas about them, and I told him what I thought they needed. They gave me four songs to orchestrate. [...] A song called 'Seven,' which is the one [...] I actually wrote a guitar part [on]. There was one called 'Thyme,' one called 'The General,' one called 'Leave Me Alone.'" (Marco Beltrami, IGN, 07/20/03)
A: Ides Of March, Oklahoma, Atlas Shrugged, Oh My God, Silkworms , Down By The Ocean (Izzy), Leave Me Alone, Seven , The General , Thyme , Quick Song , Zodiac Most all titles subject to change w/out warning and r considered working titles. (Axl Rose, chinesedemocracy.com, Dec. 2008)
The bridge in "Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul aka The Soul Monster (working title Leave Me Alone)" which will no doubt end up "Soul Monster".
I think it's our most Black Sabbath moment. Sang it on a Christmas eve. Imo the meanest section of anything I've sung to date. Which having said that I'm sure when it's heard others may disagree but we felt it was a Christmas card of unadulterated venom so to speak. I felt a lot better afterward. (Axl Rose , Here Today... Gone to Hell Forum, Dec. 2008)

If this isn't floating online by the weekend, I'd start to get worried it was delayed or not happening.
I'm surprised it isn't already, someone is bound to have a copy this close to release.
Even modern video games frequently end up floating around within weeks of release.

Was there any updates about this from has it leaked or indication it's happening?
#54 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 163 weeks ago
Yes, it's interesting to note that Andy Wallace mixed CD initially
I'd love to hear a logical explanation why the album that was already mixed/mastered with all the songs done and supposedly a 2nd album, still didn't come out for another 2 years.
Merck probably didn't get why wasn't released either.
#55 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 163 weeks ago
The 2 biggest issues imo (apart from it coming out years too late) with Chinese Democracy are:
- Mixing/editing
Ron's guitar is literally replacing Tommy's great bass. Imagine a version of The Wall were Roger Water's bass can't be heard and there's another guitarist playing parts instead that don't really fit in alot of places. I don't blame Ron personally, but whomever made this decision. I bet Duff never would have accepted it.
Not being able to hear Tommy really on the title track and the abomination that is Catcher in the Rye is indefensible.
Catcher is musically painful to the ears. The overdubs on the chorus on There Was A Time are weirder than on Perhaps.
Then ofc that bizzare Ryiad intro synth that they got sued over that adds nothing to the song.
- Poor track choice/flow
Sorry to those that love Shackler's, but it kills the vibe and the second verse is too long. Catcher again sounds out off place and even though I like Scrapped, it maybe should have been a b-side instead. It doesn't feel like an album, it's just a collection of songs that had previously been leaked with a few others that had been thrown in to pad it's length.

Anyone know where this could be found? It used to be on YouTube and is no longer on the BBC website.
I remember posting a youtube link in the critic review threads of the album. That thread though either has a different thread name than I remember or it was lost during the dark years a decade ago when loads of threads vanished.
It was intrquing seeing Kirsty Wark ect reviewing it, back when Newsnight did culture reviews.
#57 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 164 weeks ago
Hardskool/Absurd are radically different songs in their released state to the versions from yesteryear.
I'd be willing to bet the concensus (if we ever heard a 2002-2006 version) would be that it would be superior.
The modern Perhaps is growing on me, but I'm still not keen on that solo tbh.
Absurd I think is bad and HardSkool doesn't do it for me either.

R.I.P. Terry Funk
Mostly before the time I started watching, but they did randomly bring him back for appearances now and again (when I was a kid).

Random note -
I posted this thread, because of the hasitleaked post.
Not, because of some 4chan post - album track listing ect.
#60 Re: Guns N' Roses » Perhaps (2023) to Drop » 168 weeks ago
Do we have official writing credits for Perhaps?
No writing credits yet, but there are credits as to who is on it.
Click more in the description -
Brain, but no Frank is interesting. Some hear a little bit of Finck in the solo left, but he's not credited.
I can't copy/paste on phone, but it's probably already been posted in this thread.
