Yep. "Box" could very well be the same song as there's another Izzy song called "Bomb" (below) with literally the same riff that was used on VR's Contraband (Do It For The Kids I guess). Duff confirmed it during some chat years ago.

Sorry, cannot find it. I remember it was a fan question to which he replied "astute observation". At least I am not the only person who remembers the chat:

Thanks! Its so hard to keep track of everything.

Ah, my mistake. I'm thinking of Zeppelin. I know it was down by the something water.

I don't actually think they're shit. Its actually interesting to hear the process and what was clearly in his head at times. And honestly, some of them sound like they could be really cool songs if Axl only gave them the time of day. The instrumentals are not bad, but the only reason I deem them unessential and am deleting them after I listen is that if there's no Axl then there's zero CLASSIC GNR people. As you say, it really could just be ANYTHING you hear online, so if there's nothing uniquely GNR about it I'm getting rid of it. But I still think its interesting to hear and knowing who the people are playing its cool. I just don't think they warrant repeat listens. I'd rather teach my friend to play them and then record him if its just gonna be instrumental lol. You're totally right though that without vocals, its basically nothing.

I agree with everything you say mate, hearing them and the process is interesting. And yeah if Axl put some effort into the songs and put his touch on them they would be so much better for it. Axl has a way of turning things into something glorious !

There's a fuckload of instrumentals, but in terms of 'complete' songs (i e. Full lyrics and vocals) the ones we have are:

Hardschool (formerly known as 'Jackie Chan')

Perhaps

State of Grace

Silkworms

Atlas Shrugged

Going Down

Knockin on Heaven's Door (acoustic)

Eye on You (though lyrics aren't exactly 'full')

 

Then there is also Oh My God from 1999, plus the This I Love remix (with new vocals) 

OMG 1999? You meant the Bumble leak?

The leak I have has a bunch of songs like The Rebel, Devious Bastard, etc, but no titles like Blood In The Water, The General, Down By The Seaside. All those titles we referred to these songs by for years. I believe The General is Atlas Shrugged

We never referred to these leaked songs as The General, Blood In The Water or Down By The Ocean.

Like others have said The General didn't leak. It's not Atlas Shrugged. Blood In The Water isn't a working title either. It's a remix of Prostitute. It was supposed to be on the remix album. If you want to hear Blood In The Water, just search for it cause it has leaked too. Pretty much the whole remix album leaked at one point.

And Down By Ocean hasn't leaked either. It's not a working title to any of these leaked songs.
