I forgot who mentioned it but parts of The General really does have a Portishead vibe.
I bet it does even more so on the OG version

The monsters (in hell with me?)
Tour da force of an evil passion
A broken heart that was out of fashion
A dynamaic duo in your big attraction
My early warning was your satan laughing
I was there for you
It’s all I could do
Oh but it’s over now
Oh but it’s over now
I was there for you
It’s all I could do
Oh but it’s over now
Oh but it’s over now
The monsters (in hell with me?)
You stole my soul with the devils own action?
All alone in your bedroom dancin’
I thought I could feel somebody worth havin’
But in the end I guess you’re good for (the damage??)
I was there for you
It’s all I could do
Oh but it’s over now

The monsters (in hell with me?)
The more I did what I did I did for you
There’s no excuses for the hell I let you put me through
I never get how much I cared but I cared for you
To make it better there was nothing that I wouldn’t do
I doubt there’s anybody living that wants to know the truth
The gun is safe in fact it’s hid away inside of you
Whoever thought I’d be around to shed the light on you
Well heres the story baby I got nothing else to do
I was there for you
It’s all I could do
Oh but it’s over now
Oh but it’s over now

The music of Monster and Elvis are not even close to being the sameIf Monster is any song, then its probably Monstrosity.
It's not just one word (monster). The song has the lines "monster" and "stole my soul". It's obviously Soul Monster. And Me And My Elvis was never connected to Soul Monster by anyone in the band, we just assumed that because both had Elvis in the title. If anything, that was the case of people thinking it's the same song because it had the same word.
Oh right, when I say its not soul monster, I am talking about me and my elvis since everyone connects those two songs

#267 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 87 weeks ago
Pretty underwhelmed.
Why is Axl so off-key on the chorus of Monster?
Axl is off key in a lot of the CD songs, but the mixer just fixes that
This mixer (Caram?) didnt
#268 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 87 weeks ago
Through one listen, I'm... not a fan.
The storage leaks made me build expectations up so much in my mind. With all the verbal hype around The General for so long, I was hoping for something on the level of Elvis/Oklahoma/Atlas and... well...
It's a disappointment. I'm glad I didn't pre-order the vinyl.
Look on the bright side, this is the slash and duff version, the Bucket/Finck version is probably much different.
#269 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 87 weeks ago
Vocals are center-channel on both tracks, so they can be mostly-isolated. They are very clear on Monsters. On The General, they are about 60% clear, going into effect-mode in the "My only regret" and "Of those who" sections. I think that was intentional, and clear lyrics aren't meant to be heard. Could be wrong.
I got most things wrong with the rebuild, but am pleased with what I thought I heard of the vocal melody. Playing one on top of the other, the screaming section almost kinda sorta sounds almost sorta similar. Almost.
Glad these are out. Hopefully my anxiety level will return to normal.
Now you can have fun remastering these lol

Axl S wrote:There's clearly tonnes more not accounted for.
Seeing as how the leaked CDRs were labeled "J587 85 (Robin/Tommy Demos)" and so forth through "J587 278 (The Rebel)" I would have to assume that there are quite literally hundreds of discs from these sessions. Granted, most are probably just dozens of slightly different alternate mixes of songs we've already heard, but I'd wager there are tons of jams and instrumentals in various stages of completion.
Also fascinating is that the Rough Mixes CD #1 - #4 reference DAT #2, DAT #5, B. Head CD #2, etc. It's like these were the greatest hits from dozens of different sources. Like what else would have been on those Buckethead CDs that he submitted? I wonder if it was anything else that he's already released, or they were specifically created for submission to Axl?
Fortus told a story one time where he had someone come to his house, and saw a stack of CDs on his floor and asked if those were the CD sessions, and Fortus said no its just one song lol
There are def hundreds of those discs , esp bc of all the different producers that worked on the songs
