If I’m reading this correctly, you’re saying the Perhaps vinyl that includes The General will not include Monsters? 

Yes, Monsters would be on the Atlas 7". But plans evolve with this band.

HS / Absurd

Perhaps / The General

Fatlas (Drums +1.5) / Monsters (Nightrain exclusive)

The song only grows on me the more is listen. Awesome. 

Not sure why people are continuing to discuss these as 2 separate tracks, it is one song. Yes it may be formed from 2 separate songs originally but it is registered as one single song with 2 distinct parts. 

 

I view it like the Kill Bill movies. It's fine to prefer one over the other.

When do we think the mean bridge by Axl in Monsters was recorded? It sounds later than 2002 to me. Could it have been 2006?

1999

Armpit farts, towel snaps, and burps for 14 tracks.

Yeah I didn't mean the minute long stolen ambiance before the song starts. I can do without all that!

Can't see Betas Barn seeing the light of day. Doesn't Doug Goldstein hold claim to it

Atlas / Curley Shuffle (possibly Quick Song) will be next, is my guess

Yesterdays!!! Wow the setlists on this leg have been killer! 

Still loving these (TG was a bit of a grower). Imagine how heavy the 2010 versions were! Sort of glad we can't compare/complain but hopefully one day we can!

Disgruntled fan believing he's entitled to something, unsure. Do we know who leaked it? 

I think he was being cute 😉

I've been an avid fan since 1996 and heard Axl sing countless hours and I'm having a hard time making out some of these vocals in General. Even in the "cleaned up" version. I have a hard time believing that General is the final version. Monsters however sounds pretty perfect.

I'm leaning towards these being older versions (possibly with Slash overdubs) versus a rip from the vinyl.

Since it's likely to get lost in the growing number of The General threads:

I bet they wouldn't have said a peep if the songs didn't leak... (assuming they didn't leak them)

Man what it'd give for the Pittman disk...

So is the consensus we will get both "The General" and "Monsters" on the "R" side of the vinyl? 

Also, does this officially mean @pele was, technically, wrong? 

Depends, it's 2 sides of the same song. Perhaps he was wrong?

Is the real song?

Its one of two new separate songs

Goosebumps 

Anyone else getting Eminem vibes?

How many 'heys' are there?

The General is definitely a Monster. Fernando is the best!

And the tradition continues of songs being heard before officially released. They were sooooo close....

I want to know how they leaked. Are these vinyl rips (I'm not confident they exist, and even if they do, will both songs be on it?)

Just now, you know who said:

They sound real to me..

They are
