Videos and recordings are not fair with his voice. I saw them last year and his voice was totally Axl, and it's not what you expect from someone in his 60, so I just don't take it for granted any recordings. But, if you already heard The General's leak version, it's much better how it sounds live here in this video.
I was there, immediately connected with this song, came to youtube to see who recorded it (thanks!). Can't wait to listen to the studio recording, hopefully with a cleared up version of axel's voice.
the stones just put out a new album (that's damn good), the beatles just released a new song (that is amazing) and now GNR with a new song (and it's fucking good). we rock fans are eating good today.
First of the 'new' material that ive been excited for.. its got a real hook to it.. i disagree with some comments re Axls voice, he actually sounds great on this.. its perfect for his voice as he needs the higher key these days
Its hard to get behind a song one has never heard before and im sure 95% of the crowd weren't looking for leaks. Im not gonna knock the song until i hear the official release of the song to hear how it sounds and not judge by a cell phone sound.
@@kauan7001 essa música me lembra a pegada de The garden, é só escutar as duas e comparar. Sorum pra mim sempre foi o melhor batera, muito criativo e dinâmico.
Na real sabia sim kkk pq o axl em 2008 se não me engano ele tinha confirmado em um fórum que aquela intro da orquestra de 2006 2010 2012 era The general
Desde 2006? Caramba. Como soube da existência dela na época? Comecei a curtir Guns em 2010/11 mas a existência dessa música chamada the general foi meio que recentemente
@@Leonardo4287The General foi composta lá por volta de 2002. Logo após o lançamento do Chinese Democracy em 2008, Axl participou de uma sessão de perguntas e respostas com os fãs, e um deles tinha uma lista com supostos nomes de músicas vazados, e The General estava entre eles. Quando perguntado sobre ela, Axl disse: “Você já deve tê-la ouvido em algum lugar.” Entre 2006 e 2011, eles usavam a orquestra dela e da outra música “Monsters” como introdução dos shows.
@@barbarasestak9085 No it's a recording or a unreleased song. Technically new to the world but not to the band. It's cool they want to record but can we get a new song with slash duff and axl.
Thanks for your comments, people. I've shared my own and made it clear that it's close to perfection for me. Unlike some of you, I don't expect a 60 years old guy to sing like he's 25.
Same, I would really like a release of Chinese Democracy out takes someday. Axl will probably never allow it, but the real fans of his work would go bizzerk.
As a massive guns fan myself, this song (and some comments) show that love is deaf as well as blind, i love this band, but jeez, this is terrible in so many ways, and let's not use age as an excuse for axl's voice (Sammy Hagar and Rob Halford are older) , it's a bad performance from axl but it's also a bad song.
This band used to be cool. Now the most corporate band out there. My 14 year old self cringes. This stuff is a long way from Welcome to the Jungle. I do give them points for trying different things (well at least Axl does) so the artistic part is alive if you don't mind 20 year old 'new releases'.
This is a left over song from the Chinese Democracy years of Guns N’ Roses - if you’re unfamiliar with this time of the bands history - Guns N Roses Central has a great documentary about the Chinese Democracy years.
This sounds piss poor, sounds more like a demo than a finished song. people need to stop kidding themselves Axl sounds good singing in higher registers. Also they need to stop dipping into CD era stuff for songs, pointless bringing back Slash and Duff if you're not gonna write new stuff. Might as well have brought Robin and Tommy back
Yes if he wants to tour or record or play new songs. Maybe he rather sits around his house growing pumpkins or driving with his bike to the desert to eat mushrooms. You never know with Izzy. And Izzy wanted more money than what was offered. Adler only wants to play some use your illusion and appetite songs. Plus his back was a problem some years ago. Adler mainly wants an original five guys reunion thing and think Izzy too. Many fans too. We can Always dream. Gilby wanted to play but was busy being roadie for his daughter and her band. And Matt sorum wanted more money. Not just travel arrangements plane and hotel. Also money for the gig.
Not gonna lie i think this song sounds really good live but i feel like the studio version compresses Axls voice way to much. Note I feel like Axls voice is starting to get a little better. Much love to GNR❤❤❤

For 6o he is amazing
He sucks come on! Excuses everywhere
When he sang “Bad Obsession” last night, he sounded exactly like his young self!
I saw them this past June and it was amazing, look for There was a time in Madrid, awesome
I think he sang this extremely well. No complaints.
Slash rocking out while playing this for the first time live, made this performance that much more enjoyable.
Something fresh, AMAZING SONG
I was there, immediately connected with this song, came to youtube to see who recorded it (thanks!). Can't wait to listen to the studio recording, hopefully with a cleared up version of axel's voice.
Sounds very good.. Awesome in my opinion.
I think so too!

I agree with 2/3 off what u said. This "new" song is not on same level. I want it to be good I really do it just isn't.
No, the stones and Beatles put out a legitimate new song and the stones also put out an album, this song is over a decade old.
Faxxx
If it sounds pretty good live.. I expect it to be a sick studio version
It’s coming out tormorrow
It sounds better here…
The studio version sucks. It's a horrible mix and muffled sound effects on Axl's voice. This version is much better.

haha nice @@samh7948
This was originally supposed to be released on Chinese Democracy
The best song so far
I agree, it's a great song.
Wait for monsters its even better!!!
Monsters is incredible
Hard Skool is the best so far
All the songs that they released are so good except absurd lol
My favorite fucking rock band!!! Thank you for the upload and thank you to the crew for giving us anothA one
Great shot, thanks!
i absolutely love that song
Here from Justin Hawkins reaction video comments....This is so cool! Great video. Thanks!
Thanks for coming
This is the best Axl has sounded in over 2 years
That smile on Slash face is so awesome
axl is getting skinnier!
As a visionary I can see sooo much. Love your advancements in music throughout the years
This one💥✨
Thanxxx for sharing 😎
I absolutely Love This Song 😍💥💥💥
Thanks, Thanks so much...
Get ready for 'Atlas Shugged'
Maybe Axls best composition this century.
In all fairness that's a pretty low bar to set
Saw your comment on Justin Hawkins comments...yes, your audio is much better. Nice seats btw...! Lucky.... #GNR
My ticket was worth every penny. I didn't know it at the time but I was standing right next to Slash's father a majority of the time.

Lets appreciate while they r still among us.
If only Axl still had that legendary scream!!! Would have changed that whole song
It's definitely growing on me
Same here
WOW I like it .....
A intro dos shows de 2010 são os sintetizadores dessa música!! The General estava lá o tempo todo e ninguém sabia! 😅
Na real sabia sim kkk pq o axl em 2008 se não me engano ele tinha confirmado em um fórum que aquela intro da orquestra de 2006 2010 2012 era The general
Love It
Once again...Guns N Roses prove why thet are the greatest hard rock band ever!
Thanks! Chris
You bet!
Mil x melhor que a versão de estúdio que vazou
Não tem 5 kg de efeito vocal
Os efeitos ACABARAM com a música... espero que lancem uma versão ao vivo "soundboard"
Link?
Sounds Great
Ao vivo tá muito bacana mesmo!
A M A Z I N G
Holy f n sheet that's the coolest shit ever wow ✌️
Sou fã dessa banda só a 36 anos 🖤🤘🏽, mestre
I like this one. It has a killer chorus.
this song needs Matt Sorum or Brain
Agreed
Nah.
This song was waiting for Slash to return, it fits a darker version of G N' R, perfect for Slash.
Axl vocals are insane on this one!!
No sé porqué se llama "The General". ¿Alguien sabe?
I'm glad I got to see Guns N' Roses back in 1988 before Axl's needless decades of drama.
Yeeeeeeeess!
The people in this audience will never realize what happened in St.Louis when somebody pointed a camera at Axl in his younger days lmao!
At 2:50 Axl looked right at me and I actually thought to myself, thank God this isn't 1991! Lol
Guns N' Chains
bad ass song!!! Would have been amazing to sing this live in 2016 before the AC/DC gig fried any rasp he had left.
I saw them in 2012, 2017,2018 and this year and this year was definitely the best I heard Axl it was a brilliant performance
Axl sounded awesome with ACDC. He blew me away!
Fantastica
Imagine the live instrumental with the studio vocals... perfection
This vocal performance is very much better on my opinion

So thats what King Diamond looks like underneath the makeup!
I mean this is cool but when will we get to hear something written in 2023 not 1998?

Take this off of the lost media list...
Axel needs to leave those high notes alone. Sounds like crap. 4:04
Axl sure misses those years being locked up in his house now. Age on vocals is something that can't be fixed. He set the bar SO HIGH.
I half expect to see James Bond walk onto the stage.
