  1. Its funny this topic popped up. I actually just remixed Going Down last night. I used AI separation on the mono side, then mixed the resulting  tracks with Ron's overdubs. Theres actually a lot of cool harmonies buried on the chorus in that mix, but thats usually the norm for CD songs lol.

    I know the band will probably abandon it/give it back to Tommy but until he releases a proper version or Guns puts out a proper album its gonna live on my CDII compilations.

    I'm a little disappointed now that apparently Soul Monster was just a part of The General. 

    I never had a doubt about the Elvis instrumental being the same as Soul Monster. And i always thought that people that said that it was pure speculation were full of shit. 

    Mainly because of the "Our most Sabbath moment yet" quote. Axl mentioned once that he got into Black Sabbath because of Technical Ecstasy, and that album is not as heavy or dark as previous work by Sabbath, and you even have the organ in some tracks. So the Elvis instrumental kind of matches with those 2 clues. At least it did for me but i've never posted about it.

    But all of that was just my own theory anyway. It's very hard to argue now against Monsters being Soul Monster now, the words soul and monster are mentioned during the song, it has the mean bridge, and yeah you can still say it's similar to Black Sabbath. 

    I still believe that the Elvis instrumental had the potential of an epic or at least a great song. I hope he recorded vocals for it. 

    I didn't think of that but Monsters definitely has the feel of Technical Ecstasy. Axls vocals on the verses also remind me of Ozzy. I thought that in my first couple listens before i made the connection that it could be Soul Monster.

  3. So i just looked up Gravedancer on the credits sight & its listed separately from Don't Drop tbat Dime. Then i remembered DDTD is actually a hidden track on two different songs (its on the end of Gas & a Dollar Laugh on the Japanese CD) so its not the best example. Im pretty tired so I'm drawing a blank on other hidden tracks which are not separated on an album lol.

  4. This whole one song or two songs thing is interesting. I could definitely see them work as two tracks or as one with a dip in the middle like November rain. I'm wondering if Monsters was supposed to be a hidden track on the perhaps vinyl & thats why its being counted as the same song in copyright strikes & such. Does anybody know how other hidden songs are counted on releases? Like Gravedancer/Don't Drop That Dime for instance?

    I remember the fake General lyrics someone posted years ago that started something like:

    ”Left, left, Right, Left”

    remembering reading it and thinking if this is real this song is going to be terrible lol

    Im glad somebody remembers that besides me 🤣 if im not mistaken this was from the who for sure thought CD was just sitting on a torrent somewhere, we just gotta keep googling it lol
