Now is not the time. Once the reunion happened, CD2 was toast. It’s unfortunate because I want the dudes on there who wrote it.
I feel the same way. It’s great we get official reworking, but man the originals are just so much better. Maybe minus absurd, silkworms was better
Yes, that's right. So many years of waiting for CD2 to come. Hopefully someday, the demos are way better than the official releases imo but happily at least 5hings are rolling forward.
It's the hoarders ultimate holy grail, original takes with BH/Finck.

The General has grown on me so much, It's been in my head all day. I love the eerie vibe, the off kilter vocals & guitar. It's uncomfortable in a compelling way, whereas I found absurd uncomfortable in a 'this is turd' way.
It just makes me want old pre-reunion stuff more.....that's the irony here. Sigh....

Could be Ashba….he’s just like Slash

I remain unconvinced these are newer versions with Slash and Duff - sounds distinctly nu-guns to me
I’m on the same side of the debate here. Even with voice box guitar being a ‘Slash’ thing there’s no reason one of the nu guns couldn’t have put that down. Both tracks sound like they could have come from a 2004/6 leak.
Jury’s out till we hear whatever surfaces on the vinyl.

I can't get the links to work. When I click download, an MSI file downloads to install software instead of the MP3.
This happened to me. Ignore that and click the blue button again.

General is clippy, but always felt this was gonna disappoint. I like Monsters, cool vibe.

Wow….. if you can get through the spammy website / pop ups and trying to offer me VPNs for my phone, these are pretty interesting.
#8 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 57 weeks ago
Edit - As Randall said….Slash just announced a SMKC tour, Jan through April…..so GnR downtime for first half of next year at least.

I’m no Lebeis apologist but it seems to me he’s done well for himself (and slash and duff) with those people.
Financially perhaps, (no pun intended), but creatively he’s totally bereft.

Nah, all this comes from Guns n Roses opening for Maiden on the ‘88 Seventh Son tour in the US. Maiden fans booed GnR at most venues, GnR got pissed and it all went sour between the two bands.
That clip of Axl is from Donnington 88, after their opening for the Seventh Son tour in the US earlier that year. Maiden headlined Donnington, GnR were early openers (where two fans sadly died in a crush)….. hence the reporters questions and Axl’s comments. Nothing to do with lyrics, it was animosity between the two bands.
