The EP also features “Absurd,” a re-worked track from the Chinese Democracy sessions, as well as live recordings of the band’s ‘91 power ballad “Don’t Cry” and “You’re Crazy” from their seminal debut LP Appetite For Destruction. Released back in August of 2021, “Absurd” was the first new Guns N’ Roses song in 13 years.
In late 2023, Guns N’ Roses released their latest single, “The General.” The track is a B-Side to their previously released track, “Perhaps.“ Both songs are available on the 7″ vinyl version through Geffen. They are the band’s only new pieces of recorded material in the last 15 years. The previously released “Perhaps” was originally conceived during the Chinese Democracy recording sessions in the early 2000s.
