Baz reveals more about "The General", CD, and more!

[GNRreunioneventually]

hey all when i saw this up on CD.com i about pissed myself with glee

anyway, heres the artical that was re-typed by guns_n_motley-

in the new metal edge november/december edition. I typed up the part about Chinese democracy.


Well, Ive heard the six tracks that were leaked, and they're amazing

Bach: But those arent the final versions. he laughed about those. those arent the record. those are some other version of whatever. One of my favorite songs - I asked axl if I could mention the song titles and he said "fine"--and one of my favorite songs is this song called "the general" which is so, its by far the heaviest metal tune I think ive ever heard axl do, this slow grinding riff with these high peircing vocals, screaming vocals. I was like , when is this coming out? and he said "2012" I was like dude, your killin me! He goes, "well this comes out on the third record. it relates to this song, its a trilogy, this goes with this lyrically." hes got it all figured out, hes just different than other people. he does thingso n his own time, in his own way, but you know...the worlds not prepared for what ive heard from this guy. its got the grandness and the epic-ness of november rain but with the snarl, the attitude of appetite. because the album that ive heard, alot of the drumming is by brain, who plays so heavy and mean. its a really...grand is the word for it, but its still got that attitude. Theres some great music comin' your way. My album meanwhile is 100 percent comin out on november 20. thats 100 percentile. its done, its mastered, ive got it on my fucking ipod and its ready to go.

and another question

Do you ever get him on the phone and say "will you just put your fuckin record out already?"

Bach: I said that to him once, and it was one of the only times he bristled at me. He goes "Oh, everybody, sebastians got a great fucking idea. Hey! I should put out a record! Thanks, man what would I do without you dude...thats awesome." I was like Ok, I get it. Ill never say that again. see, the thing that nobody gets, that I get, is that he has like four albums Done. Ive heard it. So get ready! All you people who dont think hes gonna put out a record are sadly mistaken. He just takes his time. its his album. axl does what he wants to do, thats the way it is. And just cause you havent heard it doesnt mean its not done.


when i read that part about "The General", isn't that the same thing he said about "Sorry"?

[CheapJon]

Iprobably read too much in to that buuut...
I understood it like axl's plan is that the third album will be out 2012, (wich in my world means second album maybe will be out 2010 and first 2008? pure speculation of course) at first i thought it was a joke from axl but then i as i said read maybe too much in to it

[Malcolm]

Wow thats awesome...Hopefully its true

[Voodoochild]

If the third album is gonna come out in 2012, I suppose there's a 2 year break between the other albums, so 2008 will be the year of the first one, right?

Thanks for the info.. Hope it's true about this interview.



Edited: CheapJon beat me.

Also: GN'R fans tend to read into things way too much...

You are correct, sir. ?He also said that "Sorry" had a slow, grinding beat. ?A beat he could not get out of his head.

yeah and he said sorry had high peircing vocals, screaming vocals..

but he also said sorry was more like doom metal

and general was "its by far the heaviest metal tune I think ive ever heard axl do" wich to me means fast drums and shit.. also didn't someone say that the general was brains favourite song or something or that it erally showed brains skillz or something?

[Axl4Prez2004]

God Damn you made my day!  Whatever will the negative fucks (who throw out the $13 million or $15 million figure for one album) do when they find out there are 4 albums all made for between 3 and 4 mill. a piece???   

This really did make my day, thanks for posting.   

[GNRreunioneventually]

You are correct, sir. ?He also said that "Sorry" had a slow, grinding beat. ?A beat he could not get out of his head.

Ali

so would that mean that both songs are like that or is it posible that he got his titles messed up?

and the same thing was said at CD.com, if the last one falls in 2012 then maybe the second in 2010 and the first in 2008, but what i don't understand is WHY have it spread out over a course of 6years?

why not release one album every 6 or 7 months?

Thanks for posting.

no problem, but the credit goes to guns_n_motley at CD.com for re-typing it

[CSS]

Brain: "Watch out for a song called The General".

That was taken from an Internet chat with him back in 2002/2003 when asked about his favorite track on 'Chinese Democracy'.

I scanned in the article

[CheapJon]

why not release one album every 6 or 7 months?

becayse maybe there are too many awesome songs.. like why release album number 2 when there's still enough great songs to release as singles on album one.. you know.. that can be one reason.. to be honest i would do the same thing and release a new record every second year.. and maybe the world aint ready for all at the same time

[gnrlies247]

Really cool interview, i'm excited now!

[madagas]

This guy is fuckin' killin me.

yeah but think about it, all of us G'n'R fans can't wait when G'n'R are back on top, well whos to say they will get that high again?

i hate to say it but we're all assum(e)ing that it'll be this epic thing that will blow away everything else out there. Don't get me wrong i hope it will more than anything be bigger and better than anything EVER but still, thats just us talking.

If it's not a commercial succes and doesn't blow the emo and rap crap out of here i don't care, it's not axl's musics fault, it's the people who don't realize what good and not ? to be honest i don't care about those people.. as long as we the fans like it and the bands like it that's what matters, i'm sure i will love it, if it's a big commercial succes , well congratulations to axl and the record company and everybody involved

[killingvector]

Wow, unbelievable description of the General. Wow....can't wait.
