They've now officially scraped the bottom of the incompetence barrel.
The Stones released the Angry vinyl within days of announcement....GNR/TB had 2 months and still wasn't enough time.
I'm sticking to my theory that sales are pure shit... regardless of them briefly claiming it was sold out....and they're going to delay it hoping for more sales. If sales don't increase, they'll shit can it.
The Perhaps single is already dead/old news and since no one but a few hundred people know of The General's existence, they'll get no blowback from pulling it.
If the goddamn thing was sold out, that first batch would already be on the way. Things that sell like hotcakes do not get delayed.

Yeah and I laughed like a hyena on crack when Axl himself referred to them as that.

I was one of those people. I was expecting a mind fuck like Slayer meets The Cure. Now that's real fire and ice.
I still don't like it although don't hate it to the extent I did back in the day.
Luckily my hopes for The General are nothing like they were in the 2000s. Like I mentioned earlier, at best it will be another Riad or Madagascar.
If it was on the level of peak Floyd like some used to believe, they wouldn't have sat on it for 20 years.

Hopefully he's doing well. When people from those days leave and never pop back up, I always wonder if they're even alive.
I assume you remember EFISH, Robman, and Tommie?
They're dead.
Some others died over the past 15 years but don't remember their names at the moment.
That's life... I also wonder what happened with lot of people from that era.
Who knows something about Madison... ?
Re: The General confirmed next
I wanted to order it, but I'm not so hyped for shipping, is there any or is it free shipping, because I didn't see any information on it?
I still haven't ordered it.
Two reasons..
I wanted to just buy it on a site like HDtracks even though the chances of a digital release appear slim.
While I do listen to vinyl occasionally, it's only iconic albums that sound amazing on vinyl..not new 7" singles that will more than likely have horrid production/mixing issues.
I should probably just break down and order the damn thing. Maybe they're waiting for sales to hit a potential number before giving it the green light.

She surfaced briefly right after the reunion on mygnr but quickly faded away.
Re: The General confirmed next
I've had nothing to say there's a delay in the uk. Hopefully we will get the general and not absurd acoustic too! ?
If they were waiting to hit a certain number of sales then they should just say!
It's delayed. Absurd acoustic is a troll.
Re: The General confirmed next
Beyond disappointing from them again. I'm with James on this, I think the reason is that they've sold so few copies that they've not even met the initial quota needed to actually make it. It's so telling that there are no pictures of the vinyl anywhere, it clearly hasn't been made.
I'd be lying if I said I was expecting the release to actually happen. It seemed too good to be true and it is. There's no way they're going to release this in December either. The bit they inserted about the orders being automatically cancelled unless you confirm you don't want it to be says it all. They're not releasing it anymore and they want as many as possible to cancel their orders so there are fewer angry people when they do that.
The autistic weirdness the band (Axl) has over actually releasing music is so tiring now. Just get the best version of everything you've done and stick it in a Dropbox folder and don't worry about it anymore, and retire. There is no chance of them actually releasing an album before one of them dies.
And if anyone is hoarding a version of The General that in anyway listenable, or any other songs for that matter, now is the time to release it all. The band deserve it.
Re: The General confirmed next
A 7 inch single vinyl is not enough to get the masses excited if they are looking for larger sales. A new album with all new tracks and some great artwork and band promotion before Christmas might have worked (sorry the Perhaps artwork is dull IMO). I know they were trying to look for different ways to make money out of their music, I don't think this is the way though
Re: The General confirmed next
Haven't been impressed with these songs lately, except maybe "Perhaps". Since The General is new to us, it will be the first song we can't say we liked the demo better. So, That's a plus.
Unless someone leaks it, we're not going to hear it. It's not coming out in December either.
