KV pops up every now and then... usually when a song comes out.
What are everyone's expectations of The General?
In my youth...my expectations were through the roof.
Now? Just expecting a decent song... somewhere between Riad and Madagascar quality, if we're lucky.
Thank God it's so close.

Holy shit....I was multitasking and thought you asked this question in the Stones thread.
I'll listen to this one tonight before bed.
#333 Re: The Sunset Strip » Roger Waters - Dark Side Redux » 99 weeks ago
Am I to surmise your lack of a review as disappointment James?
I only got to listen to it a couple times and then was gone all weekend. Mainly watched/read about the war since getting back.
Listened again today.
Best song...
Shocking that he hit one final home run. Didn't know he had it in him.
That and Sweet Sounds of Heaven are the main highlights.
Whole Wide World and Depending On You pretty good.
I'll say this though...it's definitely missing something Not just Charlie.
The backing vocals don't seem as distinctive as they do on most Stones albums. I'm also wondering how much if any AI was used because their vocals just seem too crisp for men in their 80s. Listen to a recent Keith interview...then listen to Tell Me Straight.
I need to listen more before fully judging it. More songs may stand out.
Right now I'll say...
Not as good as Steel Wheels or Voodoo Lounge...better than Babylon and Bigger Bang.
I still gotta listen to the new Waters album. Only heard it that first day.

Nesquick
He joined here under a different name a few years ago. I don't remember the name.
He's also at mygnr bur I also don't remember that name.
He used to get a LOT of shit... including from me...much of it probably undeserved.
He was just a quirky guy with a Fortus fetish.
For all the band & management mess ups they for sure have got better slowing down leaks. Song wise there's been nothing major of note since 2019. Wonder if they looked into who else may have storage lockers out there.
It's not the band/TB impacting leaks. It's the fact that the hoarders are keeping it in their circle and when they aren't....they're selling...not leaking.

James, HTGtH was great during that time. So many heated debates. Wild times.
I remember Beta randomly messaging me on two occasions .
I don't remember Beta being there at that time. Weird. My memory ain't what it used to be.
Mysteron was the big enchilada in the 2000s. Went quite a few rounds with him although we generally got along.
Fun fact (that you may already know):
Mysteron was an account shared by two people. We found this out many years later. It explained why he liked me half the time and didn't know who I was the other half. Don't remember exactly who but one was a journalist.
tried to hide discussions about him away in sub forums. Hell, even discussions about GN’R and CD were being neutered and removed if you said the wrong thing…
Back around 2015 or so I got high and was in the mood for memory lane. I remembered this long crazy debate with ppbebe that went on for pages and days back in early 2006.
It was no longer there.
While there were various interactions with her still on the forum, that discussion was definitely gone and my post count looked different too (lower).
It was a discussion over that Slash-Beta-Axl-Weiland fiasco. I guess it's no surprise that it's gone.

Nothing beats the 2004-2008 forum era
.. ( or who knows maybe there will be more leaks or actual album releases)
Even if the rest of the vault leaked, it could never come close to how amazing that period was.
2005 was the peak of GNR forums...kinda funny since it was a dead year band wise. Each main forum had thousands of active members.
2006 was massive too. The decline started quickly.
The 2005 community deserved the Village Leaks and the 2006 community deserved the skwerl leak.
HTGTH was the best site on the entire net in the early-mid 2000s. It was so massive it had hundreds of active users who weren't even GNR fans.
BP is gone. No reason to stick around. He already had all the songs and wasn't the type who got off on rubbing it in people's faces.
Whatever happened to your friend Mr. Brownstone from CD.com? That dude just disappeared.

AndreCC....ugh. No offense Andre.
In 2007-8 Andre would do shit like trade fake 5 second clips for Red Army's 5 second clips of Sonic the Hedgehog...while acting like they're the new MSL and darknemus.
Douche chills.
#338 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 99 weeks ago
They're different songs, it's a title change.
Yeah obviously different songs...at least back in the day. Its been 20 years. For all we know, something like the outro of Soul Monster was added to The General. We already know they're not against using stuff from other songs.

They could've easily titled that The Chain Keeps Me There. Two different songs...until they're not.

Any of you guys listening to this?

Or realdoll.
Good to see you here.
Good to see u here also, and neemo and other users from the past.
Anyone know if the general phone snippet and evader clips are real?
Yeah they're both real. Phone snippet a shit quality recording from an after party where they played new songs and Evader cleaned it up and then worked his magic.
