I fucking LOVE the song lol. Its right up my alley. I love hearing Axl sing different shit, it sounds like the last thing you'd ever hear GNR do but it's pretty fantastic.

Still can't believe people think "Monsters" is about child abuse lol. It's clearly about a break up. Those aren't lyrics that an adult male is singing to his father that abused him as a child. I would argue that the bridge *could be* but it would make no sense for that to be the only part of the song that is.

Also, I firmly believe the bridge from Monsters originally belonged to The General but got turned into a different song at some point. Lyrically, it fits in much more with The General than Monsters. Monsters is clearly about a scorned lover, while The General is clearly about child abuse. The lyrics from the bridge fit much better with the abuse theme than a song about a woman that broke his heart.

Oh man, I'd kill to hear whatever that version of the song was. I REALLY love "Monsters" but it's clearly changed a lot over the years. I want THAT song. I'm pretty fascinated by the fact that maybe what we heard in the cell phone clip was at one point The General? Or maybe the clip was just labeled wrong all of these years. The cell phone clip always sounded more like what I thought The General would actually sound like, based on the comments through the years.

Who actually is that on the keys? The camera showed him a few times during Absurd lol. A tech or something filling in? -

Live version sounds so much better. Those vocal effects on the studio version kill it for me. -
Opinions on the leaked songs

Monsters is fucking fantastic. It's the kind of "big gun" I've been waiting years to hear. All those people who have spoken over the years about how Axl has all of these amazing songs in the vault, thats where this song sits for me. I cannot get enough of it. I love the guitars, the lyrics, the vocal delivery, those fucking ear worm vocal melodies, and that vocal breakdown at 2:50 is the most Axl Rose thing since I don't know when. The General, eh. I think I would be more okay if I hadn't built the song up for so long. Having been obsessed with the cell phone clip, I always felt like The General would be THE big gun. Come to find out, it wasn't even from that song lmao. I get the point of the song, but the vocal effects really kill it for me. I can't make out most of what Axl is even singing. Its definitely not an epic like we all assumed. I dont hate it and I have to hope that what we've heard isn't the final version. -

I too believe he is saying various things in Monsters. I hear "monsters can't kill me, get me, have me, etc."
