Mindray11

Well, I digged that more than watching people fly through wedding cakes for no reason or some cheesy bondage crap.

But people completly freaking out because of the song, the clipping, the mixing (yeah, it's bad), the whatever and the video, trashing the shit out of it while it's written about child abuse....oh come on. And then you keep wondering why they treat you like shit?

Clowns.

Thanks! Do you remember by any chance if what you heard was only Monsters or it was both The General and Monsters?

I think it was both..but I'm not 100% sure.

I’m pretty sure that both @Mindray11’s recording and @evader’s reconstruction of “The General” (Monsters) were hoarded for a few years (probably between 2011/12 and 2018 when they were shared).

I think I sent it to MSL in 2013-15 maybe? Can't remember.

I guess @Mindray11 , who recorded it, can answer that. I'm sure he has explained it before.

I gave that thing to MSL because I thought 'Oh well, fuck it, cut it a few minutes and let's see what happens'. I have no idea what happened after that, except him answering that he couldn't hear much and he didn't know the song.

@Mindray11 how does it compare buddy?

it's interesting how much i missed because all of the people talking in the room back then, you couldn't hear everything that's going on in the songs. i actually thought some songs didn't sound like guns n roses, but it makes so much sense now because the general doesn't sound like a typical gnr song. i remember a lot more parts of it now. this stuff is amazing.

i loved bucketheads solo in monsters, but slash's is amazing too.

With regards to Frank, the difference was immediately noticable after seeing Sean Kinney play with Alice In Chains. You can see Sean putting in effort and intention, even on the slow songs. He's driving the band forward. Then Frank comes on and he's just on autopilot, just one song after another. It's subtle but as a drummer myself I picked up on it pretty quickly. It's more of a body language thing I guess but it affects how the song sounds and how the band plays together.

Well, they play 3,5 hour sets...I wouldn't look that entertaining and shit if I had to play 3,5 hour sets, and I 'just' play bass in a band.

Yo what the fuck? Do you have more of the song?

Somewhere, yeah. But all you can hear is people talking.

Do we know how long The General is? 

I think my recording is 6:30 minutes long, but I can't make out when the song starts because of all that noise. So I guess somewhere between 4:30 and 6 minutes.

It's gonna be interesting to hear that song for the first time in 12 years 

EDIT: *13, oh well...

The end of Shoot To Thrill, Back in Black, Thunderstruck, Stuck Inside, end of Hard School, high notes on TWAT, that bridge or whatever it is from The General, beginning of Nightrain in Tokyo 2009, Madagascar, Better, Rocket Queen

someone should build a time machine. i should have placed that fucking iphone closer to the speakers... 

so...who wrote that song?

"What the fuck do you know? That's right! You don't know jack fucking shit you fucking ignorant, know it all, fucking deluded, misguided, self important, self righteous, pious, small minded, clueless, loud mouthed, arrogant cunt."

"Rad"

"Lit"

"I said honey we know the names, because you.... knees!!!"

oh and of course...

"We don’t want them to see the same show twice. That’s really important to us."

wtf, state of grace is not the general. come on.
