Title: The General
Post by: justynius on June 29, 2004, 03:50:44 AM
A while ago (I don't remember when), a rumor appeared (I don't remember where) about Sarah Brightman singing background vocals on "The General" which included what was apparantly a narrative summary of the song. I've googled all over the place, and searched this site and NewGNR. No luck. Does anyone have a link to this article, or would anyone be kind enough to cut and paste? Much appreciated.....

GNR Italia (http://www.gnronline.org/Chinese%20Dem.%20album.htm):

Quote
From Antimusic: the source filler the second news which the song "The General" scaritta from Axl Roses with to Sarah Brightman and with the agreements of Mark Beltrami it will speak about the true history of an obliged general to become a leader and that it will give the life for its cause. The source filler moreover that the song would have second to be contained in chinese democracy in escape they 28 October 2003

It was dated 22nd July, 2003. Someone more fluent in Italian might do a better translation, since Babelfish is a bit, ahem, dodgy.

I actually saw this rumor posted on VH1's website. But, I have no idea how much truth is in this rumor.

All that's really known about it is that Marco Beltrami did orchestration for it...

"General," is a rumoured track on CD. A rumour started somewhere that it would be leaked.
But it won't. Trust me ;)

it was mentioned in the article about composer marco beltrami (sp??) working on CD. It has been suggested that this may be leaked too...but if i went to the right places and dropped a few hints here and there i'm sure i could start a rumour saying the whole album will be released and it would catch on.

we'll know soon enough i'd imagine.
