I'm fine


You got all the clichés in one post.

It wasn't GN'R, Axl apologists, touring only, reworked songs.

Good job!  ok

Back to the topic, The General could be partially about Powell.  He's the only general I can recall getting publicity back when it was written.

The General is also one of the four songs Marco Beltrami said he worked on way back in 2002 I believe. Thyme, Leave Me Alone aka Soul Monster/Elvis, and Seven.

If you go back to the Next Album thread 1st page has just about every nugget of information there is on unreleased songs

If they keep releasing songs/singles, is that so much worse than having them on one album instead?

/jarmo


the ironic thing is I remember it was Bumblefoot approach, a single at a time and then put the whole
tracks as an album, apparently the more efficient way to obtain finished work with Axl.

well, I personally prefer a new album with all the songs in one time because I like to discover the
entire thing at the same time, call me old schooler on this one

Maybe he was ahead of his time...


But seriously, both have pros and cons. Individual songs is like getting appetizers all night to go with those beers. Compared to getting the whole pizza at once...


But the media is still kinda album oriented. If you read a music magazine (remember those?) you'll see that they still review albums.

Artists get interviewed when they have a new album.

That's kind of just it.  Who is reading magazines?  Where are people getting their information about new music?  Are they buying albums or singles?  I can see where GNR was having discussions about how to release music.

Personally, I'm an album snob.  I'd be a vinyl snob but it's just easier to download it and have it right now.  I only need to know my favorite artists have a new album and I click the buy button.  Online music sources run short stories.  A couple of quotes that get that click and who needs a long interview to take up a couple of pages in a magazine with dwindling circulation.  An album gets you limited time in the media but singles get you attention every time on the net.  How many times do you see stories that DJ is releasing a single?  Does GNR want continuous coverage?  If so, I think the single is the way to go.

Yeah, with the emergence of social media, magazines have less of a importance.

But, on the other hand, I guess the people who still buy music reads these magazines....

The ones who aren't hardcore fans but might buy a CD or LP, or a concert ticket.


We, the hardcore fans, aren't the majority. This is something that's sometimes overlooked. So whatever we like, might not be a good representation of what the majority likes...

Bottom line, I think we're still at whatever the record label wants.  Aren't they the ones fronting the money?  The ones presenting the options?  The ones with all the research telling them how to do this?  I think GNR gets limited choices from the choices offered to them by the label.  GNR could be just as frustrated with the situation as we are.

I hope it's the other way around.

Artistic freedom.

Not wanting to continue to push my feelings about that song  hihi, I said choices, who know who made that choice.

I think Absurd makes sense in the context of GNR being an irreverent, sometimes shocking band who only care about doing what they want and not what will sell in the mainstream. Just like Oh My God, it's about making a strong artistic statement, not trying to score another Sweet Child O Mine hit. I respect that, regardless of what I think of the song (and I think it's cool, much better live though).
