With 8 songs released post CD, That's 3/4 of an album! Not that all of them are great, most are not.
It is an album. Might not max out the disc but what we've heard is an album even though a few key tracks are missing....
Absurd
Hard School
Perhaps
The General
Soul Monster
Atlas Shrugged
Going Down
State of Grace
For shits and giggles you could toss Eye On You and Nothing on there...or even finished instrumentals Devious Bastard and Dub Suplex although those are obviously Buckethead songs.

K what sample should we find for Axl? Well he’s sort of like Julius Ceasar’ so we were trying to sample stuff that reflected that. We were looking for old school, crazy shit and I think we sampled Ben-Hur, chopped it up, cut it up and that became a jam, I think we called it ‘Seven’."
Crazy how various "big guns" were pretty much created out of thin air on a whim while bored.
No wonder each song had a million working titles.
Songs named after what you're eating while coming up with it and a brief comparison to Ben Hur leads to Circus Maximus/Ides of March/Seven. God only knows what it will be called if it ever gets released.
Quick Song probably named for how quick they came up with it and not its duration.
Thyme? Stinson probably had a bowl of soup and there wasn't enough thyme...complains...and voila... instrumental finally gets a title.
How does a supposed personal song like Oklahoma get a name change to Berlin? Did one of them eat some schnitzel or play the Civ 4 mod that includes Germany?
It's like no one took the project all that seriously. Axl showing up once in a blue moon, Tommy drinking, Bucket jerking off with dog shit and porn, Finck can't decide if he wants to be with Axl or Reznor, Fortus on his Rhianna tours, Dizzy on hookers and blow...
Is it really a wonder that vocals are still being added to these tracks as late as 2007?
Axl S is right....they're ALL unreliable narrators of the Chinese Democracy story yet they're all we have to give us the few pieces of the puzzle we do have.
We're never going to know all of it or hear all of it.
One of the reasons I'm content with just getting a couple more songs.
#273 Re: Guns N' Roses » Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019) » 98 weeks ago
Elvis as Seven doesn't make any sense to me. Elvis was mixed and ready to go in March 2000. Brain mentioned writing Seven with Xtract alongside The General before HOB 2001.
The issue with looking at everything in chronological order...and based on 15-20 year old comments...is the fact they clearly started cannibalizing their own songs at some point.
When listening to Eye On You did you think it would get Axl "flown in" to Hard School 20 years later?
Now we've got The General and whatever anyone thinks Monsters is as one song.
For all we know, Me and My Elvis had 5 seconds "flown in" to Circus Maximus and that's Seven.
They only had so many songs to work with. When nothing new gets created past a certain point and you still haven't finished it, it's gonna turn into the Donner party.
#274 Re: Guns N' Roses » Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019) » 98 weeks ago
Going out on a limb and saying My Elvis it’s actually Seven.
That would rule out Circus Maximus.
In other words...no matter how we crumble this cookie...at least one killer instrumental was likely shit canned fairly early in the saga.
#275 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 98 weeks ago
Great job on the lyrics.
That makes me wonder...out of all the bullshit General lyrics over the past 20 years, I wonder if any of them had some of the real lyrics?
I guess there's no way to ever really know.
they’re discussing these leaks on HTGTH. I thought in the past any discussion about leaks was forbidden. I could be wrong though.
If he stopped discussion on this set of leaks right now it would probably kill what is left of his forum.
They're probably coming out soon anyways...so why not let them discuss it?

two Jehovah Witnesses were walking up to rign the doorbell. Figured the loud music and lyrical content might have scared them away, but no such luck.
I once got rid of some religious nuts in my 20s when they saw the pentagram on my Slayer shirt.

Monsters

The General
Hard School

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.
#278 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 98 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.
