Jw224 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Yeah the leak is pretty much what we're gonna get imo. It sounds bad because of the mix and master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it sounds good, but guess that's subjective. The problem is about the quality of the audio, because the mp3 had clipping issues unlike any other release, including Hard School. So I guess this will be solved in the official release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axljungle Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Well finally we’ll get it on streaming. And I think that we get a video as perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought to check the waveform of the song. The 1999 Oh My God is loud too from that standpoint, but I don't know if it suffered from clipping. Reminds me of Metallica's Death Magnetic clipping issues, where the band said it was intentional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 If, let's say, the orchestra or an instrument is more prominent, will be easy to tell if it's because of a different mix or just because of the bad quality of the leak? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Not sure if this has been said yet, but on December 8th I’m guessing this thread will need to be locked and a separate thread will need to be opened for The General (unless Monsters is included on the streaming release too).

If it's only a matter of few dBs, no. But a different mix involve reverb, delay, EQs, and effects. These are audio processing that will be directly noticeable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official version of Perhaps has some serious clipping issues too ( to my ears at least), I even bought different versions in FLAC format and listened to it on different streaming platforms, but they all had the same problem Let's hope the official version of The General has better production. The song has more "breathing room" and doesn't seem to be as saturated with excessive layers as Perhaps, so I'm quite hopeful that it will be decently produced. I hope the orchestral part gets a few db+ on the final mix too. Still hard to believe The General is finally coming out!! Exciting times to be a GN'R fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GnR Chris Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Don’t know how any GNR fan can say “Better” sucks or is unlistenable. Killer bridge. Great outro. Cool lyrics. Catchy verses with rAsP. Blistering solo. It has everything a GNR fan would want in a GNR song. But the little high-clean “no one ever told me” intro ruins all that? LOL. OK. Also, “Chinese Democracy” was a fine lead single. Nice intro riff. It had Axl’s trademark screech at the beginning (first time I heard the studio release, I remember getting goosebumps at that part). Leaned into his “Brownstone” style voice. Good coda on this one too. Let’s face it. This record could have had “Estranged” or “November Rain,” and there is a large segment of the fan base who would have still tuned it out ‘cause “no Slash.” I’m pumped “The General” is actually coming Friday. Now we wait an eternity for “Monsters”? Edited December 6, 2023 by GnR Chris 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNfr Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 4 hours ago, ZoSoRose said: General mix sounds the same but the audio is a little more clear. I'd imagine that means Monsters is final, too. That also probably means there is at least one more song out there that will be paired with Monsters. I could see it being Atlas, but maybe we will be pleasantly surprised with something else Monsters / Eye On You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History2010 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I have no idea why anyone doubted that the song would get a digital release. Fernando confirmed it would on Reddit weeks ago. I guess people are so used to being disappointed by GN'R that they assumed It would be vinyl exclusive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall… I know when someone asked for a CD release, he jokingly said “Perhaps,” but I didn’t know he explicitly confirmed TG for streaming??
