Well, it looks like this is just The Garden according to Voodoochild at mygnr.It reminded it me of The Garden, too, when I heard it, but then the vocal didn't sound much like it so I thought probably not. Alice Cooper was backstage at that show, so it makes sense that they were rehearsing it (maybe just in case).
If it's The Garden that's great news. More deep cuts the better i say.
Yes. If it was The Garden, too bad they didn't play it eventually at that show with a guest appearance from Alice Cooper.
Re: The General confirmed next
Maybe Alice will show up when they get to Phoenix? God knows they need help selling tickets. This is bad:

No, I don't have anything else, I just meant that in case you wanted the other actual songs from the soundcheck as a proof that I'm not bullshitting, I can send you those
It's just I have no idea how DMs work here (been reading here without signing up for years and you're gone from mygnr lol)Not sure I can improve it as much as I thought but here we go.

This reminds me of that video clip a couple months ago, the screenshot showing a partial set list and speculation whether it's The General or The Garden.
I guess both were on the list after all.

Dani has a point about song selection...in the old days. We live in a world where some artists record videos for every song on their albums.
A song with a video gets more attention than a song without one. If they want The General to get attention...it will have a video. If they don't want it to...it won't.
I agree with you, what I really wanted to say was that a video like the one of Perhaps I think that will not fit a darker song like we believe is The General.
Something like the animated videos that Metallica did for 72 Sessions I think will work better, but it's only an opinion I don't know if people will like It more
I agree it would be a helluva lot better if they branched out and did more creative videos.
IMO it's just too much to expect at this juncture. We're really lucky they're even doing these types of video.
Either way...this is the first time in eons we get to truly anticipate something. In the past 20+ years, any time there was video discussion, everyone knew deep down it was bullshit.
Now it's in the realm of possibility.

As we've seen with these recent shows, they start moving tickets before showtime. It's likely a combination of the Perhaps promo drawing attention to the show, the drop in prices, and Live Nation is probably papering the hell out of these shows through various outlets.
Re: The General confirmed next
Looks like the film crew that shot the Perhaps video is still out with them https://www.facebook.com/gunsnroses/vid … 9321143489
Possibly makes me think they could be shooting another music video.
Are they not just doing promo like all bands do? Look at the band's tweet on the 28th August about the Moncton, Montreal, NY, Pittsburgh and Boston shows. A minute of the footage they've been filming around the shows. A documentary or more music videos would be great, but suspect it's just to elevate the promo to prevent the US shows failing to sell tickets, which is appears a few of them are.
Re: The General confirmed next
This is so weird how they’re handling The General
They should've included a tiny clip of The General at the end of the ad.
It's definitely a strange way to handle what was the most hyped song of the saga.
I'm really starting to think it's going to be released as an afterthought to Perhaps and they're only doing it for us.
Any double A side fantasy scenarios quickly fading.

I've been thinking about this a lot. From what Sebastian Bach said, The General is the best song he'd heard from that era. We've also heard the Estranged sequel talk. So we're all expecting it to be a AAA title. Does this style of release mean it's not that in reality?
Or are they doing this to spike sales for the vinyl print for Perhaps that might otherwise have been modest? It would have been on Chinese Democracy in the first place if it was good, wouldn't it? Or was it one they were holding back for album 2?
It can't be that good a song if they're not releasing it as a standalone single, can it? Or should we expect it to drop randomly as a single once the Perhaps vinyl sells out?
