The General confirmed next

It’s a weird song structure from what you can hear. The beat is cool and so are Axl’s screams.

Those Buckethead licks in The General (from what you can actually hear) are on par with Soothsayer. Even if Slash is copy pasted on top of it, from what I can make out, this will be a satisfying track for the hardcore fanbase.

What can you say about the instrumentation and if it matches the cellphone clip?

"The General" is a litmus test for me.

It's the sequel to one of the best Gn'R songs of all time in "Estranged" and likely one of the last songs finished up. It would have Axl giving an Angel Down era vocal take and maybe one of the last songs Buckethead recorded with the band. So on multiple fronts, it should really deliver.

It should be divorced from early CD session songwriting ideas and has the potential to be more comfortably sprawling. In summary, this has the potentially to be a damn good song. That is what I'm expecting. And if anything, the guy who heard this at the 2012(?) after party is responsible for more of my hype than Sebastian Bach.

I was hyped for "Zodiac" and if it's half as good as that, I'm gonna be through the moon.

I'm excited but I'm considerably more nervous.

Glad to know I'm not the only nerd listening to that shitty clip over and over again.

I was listening to that clip on my cracked cellphone as I took a shower last week.

I know it was a completely different time/era, but this Perhaps promo makes me wonder how 2006 would've turned out with a single release getting a major push.
Fans suggested it at the time.

I cannot predict what songs will succeed as singles: maybe it’s just a blind dumb luck that a song gains enough interest/ word of mouth to chart….

Better, Madagascar, Blues are all substantially better tracks than Perhaps yet here we are.

I’d suggest they release a bunch right now to capitalize on the public’s eye view of Sauron gaze on the band.

Holy fuck I want to hear this song. Man, had the hoarders played ball a couple months back they would have gotten something out of it

Similar. What’s funny is that I swear I hear Axl talking in like a monologue before he starts the screaming just like the beginning of that track
