The effort, which was exclusive to the GUNS N' ROSES' official store, contained the two new songs the band released in 2021 - the title track and 'Absurd' (stylized as 'ABSUЯD') - as well as live versions of 'Don't Cry' and 'You're Crazy'. GUNS N' ROSES released a four-song EP, 'Hard Skool', in February 2022. Like GUNS N' ROSES' 2021 singles 'Hard Skool' and 'Absurd', 'Perhaps' was originally written and recorded during the sessions for 'Chinese Democracy', and a rough demo version of the song had previously been leaked and uploaded to YouTube. it's by far the heaviest metal tune I think I've ever heard Axl do, this slow, grinding riff with these high, piercing vocals, screaming vocals.' ( James penned the short story that inspired the 'November Rain' video).īach told Metal Edge magazine back in 2007: 'One of my favorite songs is this song called 'The General', which is so. In a 2008 interview with Rolling Stone, Sebastian said that Axl told him that 'The General', which was described as 'a slow, grinding track,' is the sequel to 'Use Your Illusion II''s 'Estranged', that goes to the parable that Del James wrote of the trilogy. It was previously talked about by ex- GN'R drummer Bryan 'Brain' Mantia, who reportedly wrote some of the song's music and gave it its title, and former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach.

Like 'Perhaps', 'The General' was written during the sessions for GUNS N' ROSES' 'Chinese Democracy' album. The track was introduced by singer Axl Rose as a song they hadn't played before and that 'it could be very interesting.' GUNS N' ROSES performed 'The General' live for the first time on November 2 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. 'The General' is the B-side of GUNS N' ROSES' limited-edition seven-inch vinyl single titled 'Perhaps', which was made available for pre-order in August. GUNS N' ROSES have released a new single titled 'The General' via Geffen Records.
