BucketEgg Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) If this 56 page legal letter exists, I hope it leaks. I want to read it! Do other artists releasing songs have rumoured 10s of pages of consequences, or is it only Guns N Roses that gets those rumours/does those things? Seriously though, 56 pages. Exactly how many consequences could there be? 1. You get your ass sued to bankruptcy. 2. You lose a whole bunch of assets. 3. You go to jail. What else? You get your ass personally beat by every member of Guns N Roses, and the screams get recorded for the next single (but you get no royalties)? They drain your blood and use that to decorate their next round of merch? They pull your eyes out and use the photo as the picture for the single Eye On You? Imagine being the lawyer who has to write these rumoured 56 pages. Where did the 56 pages rumour originate from? Is it just that youtube comments section, or did it appear somewhere else before that?

Select stores already have the 7" in their backroom. The 56-page legal letter of the consequences of the possible leak of the track accompanied with the vinyls is staggering. Total arse! Like that's stopped the millions of almost every big release leaking in the last 20 years! Smoke and mirrors and empty threats, If it's backstage, it'll make an early entrance soonish....

TrixAreForKids Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Could “The General” be something totally new, that we haven’t heard before? Why are we assuming the cell phone leak is a version of it again? Maybe one of those locker room instrumentals is in fact an early working of the song, renamed, blah blah? You would have thought if someone was hoarding it, would have leaked it by now gaining some attention or even trading it for something…in 3 days it’s worthless on the trading market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeldhipi Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Well obviosly the vinyls exists by now. And of course there are conciquenses if someone leaks it. Thursday i asked my local record store if theres any chance i could get The Rolling Stones cd a day early. I was said, no chance. He will get banned by Universal for all new releases if he gets caught doing that. Its normal business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the orchestra intro used from 2006 to 11 was confirmed as from The General and the cell phone clip has parts from the orchestral intro in and the same melody.

But we only know that to be a song called The General as someone on twitter associated with the band said it was the most used concert intro...what if they were mistaken? Happens plenty with this band.... I'd laugh soo much if it ends up being a completely different song we've been arguing over for 15 years, mind fuck!

Grayfox Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 So Fernando says “Perhaps is a great song, The General is a Monster” The song register info comes out, title: The General and Monsters Perhaps Fernando was giving us a hint without really say it out right. A play on words of sort. A 7” single wouldn’t fit 2 songs on one side. So we get The General. Maybe there will be another version released and it’s a track that has a bonus hidden track. The General (Hidden Track: Monsters) Which leads to the question if it’s 2 tracks.. one of the tracks would be The General. What is Monsters? Is it Monstrocity or Soul Monster renamed? Or something entirely new? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 I think the addition of "monsters" to the title may be just a rebranding of the song for Halloween - and maybe there are references to monsters in the lyrics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) I can't find any trace of it now, and memory is foggy, but several years ago was there not some leaked artwork for a 'Monster' single? I think we are going back maybe even a decade here. I think there was an image of a CD, along with it's case, which had Monster Energy drink associated colours etc.. Small chance I have gone wrong and dreamt this up edit: I found them. Not quite as I remembered, and probably nothing! Cant figure out how to post images, but here's an imgur link if allowed: https://imgur.com/a/zcNMRHQ Edited October 23, 2023 by Mustard Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my guess as well. What ever the music video (lyric video) will be like, I have a feeling that it will be Halloween themed and it's probably going to involve some monsters. That's what I would guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible 2 songs could be in one single track and all the credits for both songs are combined into a single listing for registry? Especially with how long it took some tracks to show up on the registry? Could it be possible that at a later date there could be 2 separate entries made? Legit questions though.
