I'm sure they'll do an EP version too. Not everybody has a record player.

Maybe the Nightrain fan club item next year will be a CD version with some live b-sides? |

The vinyl ships on October 27th so worse case scenario then. I would assume before then, but I’m sure the band and management only has that answer. |

Jarmo you happen to know if a CD release is planned, or is this exclusive to vinyl? |

Baz said The General was the sequel to Estranged. Seems weird to put it out as a b-side with no fanfare if that's the case.

Or, it's the R side instead of the G side on a 7". It takes time to get vinyl pressed and released. Perhaps it's just a case of getting both songs out while the tour is still happening.... /jarmo |

Imagine the General turns out to be just that instrumental piece they used for entrance music in 2006 😂

Brain originally titled the song "The General" because they were eating General's Chicken when working on it. When Brian turned it over to Axl, he assumed they called it The General as a reference to Tommy Stinson, who apparently was made fun of as being the musical director when the guys were creating instrumental tracks for Axl to consider. The group also considered Axl to be like Julius Caesar so they sampled music from the movie Ben Hur, used it for material then called that song "Seven". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7mH8ulKAbE |

Friends and family have heard the song at parties and whatnot. It has vocals and lyrics. |
