About “The General”
Sebastian Bach Skid Row vocalist , spoke about the track to Metal Edge: “One of my favorite songs is one called 'The General,' which is so… it’s by far the heaviest metal song I think I’ve ever heard Axl do. It has a slow, intense riff with high-pitched, piercing vocals, screaming vocals.”
Regarding the track, he described it in 2008 ( via Blabbermouth ) as a "sequel to 'Estranged'".
