Monsters
Perhaps
The General
Hard School
Absurd
The General is only 3rd by default. I don't even listen to those last two and haven't since they leaked. Just not my cup of tea.
The General is a mess.
#272 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 87 weeks ago
Where did these 2 leaks pop up first? Just an anon poster?
They leaked here. The OP of this thread.
Good to see you back.
Yeah... where's Mike Clink indeed...or anyone who could mix this properly.
, this feels like a genuine gift to the hardcore fans and a bit of a bow on the CD era. Who knows whether we actually get Atlas in the future, or more CD era goodies like SOG, but we've basically gotten all the 'big guns' of CD2.
I also think this release is wrapping up the CD era. I'm hoping for one more but it's doubtful.
There's two big guns left...
Oklahoma and Seven
After that it's Slim Pickens....

Axl S wrote:While I don't think it's as clear cut as the New Song 2/Prostitute debacle, the possibility is there.
It could be always considered part of The General and it's just that, a song with two parts.
It could be Monstrosity.
It could be Soul Monster. It's also possible Monstrosity was another working title for Soul Monster.
We won't know unless someone gets to ask questions, or if the band ever just speaks.
Right now you can pay $100 for five minutes of chatting with Robin Finck. There is one way you might be able to find out.
I still think people are reading too much into lyrics Nd words that Axl occasionally reuses.
We heard this exact same argument during song 2/Prostitute when he says Prostitute.
Maybe it's what can "Daddy Can the Devil do Mommy and me?" became.
Yeah that's certainly possible. It kinda fits.
I don't buy Monsters as being their most "black sabbath" moment either.
Their song descriptions always left much to be desired.
#275 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 87 weeks ago
Is anyone else triggered by Axls flat singing in Monster chorus ? Especially “over”
Surely that gets fixed ?
Are we sure this Slash and Duff on these tracks ? I sure as hell aren’t
Just gotta roll with the vocals at this point.
Thank God Monster is killer overall or I'd probably complain more... especially about the mix of these songs.
The General is ok. MSL just hit the nail on the head...not that great but ok when listening to it.
We won't be 100% on Slash/Duff until we hear it when it's released. While it definitely sounds like him, anything is possible. Bucket could mimick the guy.

I forgot who mentioned it but parts of The General really does have a Portishead vibe.
#277 Re: Guns N' Roses » Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019) » 87 weeks ago
My two cents:
1. Monsters is Leave Me Alone/Elvis and The Monster of Soul/ Soul Monster because a) the high-pitched/scream-y part fits Axl's description b) it has work from Marco Beltrami (on the other hand, there's nothing heard about Beltrami working on Monstrocity).
2. The General and Soul Monster/Monsters started out as separate tracks and were still separate by the time of Axl's chats in 2008, but were merged into one two-part song by 2010.
Yeah. I don't see how it's open to debate.
It's Prostitute/song 2 repeating itself.
The merging shines new light on that post about Seven being D Tune and Circus Maximus.
#278 Re: Guns N' Roses » Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019) » 87 weeks ago
I
That is like thinknig Garden of Eden and the Garden are the same song
That's not even close to what's going on here.
#279 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 87 weeks ago
Lyrically...this is the type of material Chinese Democracy needed.
More this...less Slash/Steph
#280 Re: Guns N' Roses » Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019) » 87 weeks ago
I still think this is Leave Me Alone/Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul and nothing to do with Monsters. Axl did like reusing lyrical themes.
However I'm skeptical we'll ever hear it or ever know without an interview where some one straight up asks someone from that era.
It's not just lyrical themes...it's Beltrami.
[GNR] was sort of just work for hire. [...] I met with Axl and he played me these songs, asked me my ideas about them, and I told him what I thought they needed. They gave me four songs to orchestrate. [...] A song called 'Seven,' which is the one [...] I actually wrote a guitar part [on]. There was one called 'Thyme,' one called 'The General,' one called 'Leave Me Alone.'" (Marco Beltrami, IGN, 07/20/03)
Me and My Elvis would make it 5 songs instead of 4.
