I agree that another Lies type of release would make sense for where the band is it today. That said, they probably wouldn’t do any naming conventions or artwork associated with Lies itself, as they’re clearly trying to distance themselves from One In A Million as much as possible now.

Slightly off-topic but I just did a DCEU ranking on my blog: http://henrynsilva.blogspot.com/2023/11/ranking-dceu-based-on-first-impressions.html?m=1

Doesn’t help that Disney also pushed them to create a bunch of shows in a short amount of time to try to validate their streaming service…

Was monsters also soundchecked? Or just the general?

The penultimate episode of Loki season 2 just dropped, and it might actually be my favorite episode of the entire series so far. This show and Guardians 3 are the only bright spots marvel has had this year.

Yeah I like it but don’t love it. Glad they finally finished it anyways, though!

Following up from my last post: http://henrynsilva.blogspot.com/2023/11/ranking-mcu-multiverse-saga-based-on.html?m=1

Soul M, Monstrosity, and The General were listed as different songs. Leave Me Alone was not on there.

Yeah it feels good but also kinda weird that we’re finally getting to the end of the ChiDem era, bit by bit. If rumors of atlas eventually getting released with one or two other songs attached to it are true, then that basically means chidem2 got turned into a trilogy of EPs (which is fine by me).

It was very recent. Like earlier this year. Might all be bullshit though.

The bass on The General in particular is really good, but part of me thinks Duff probably just followed along with whatever Tommy originally played. Same probably goes for Slash. They both still sound really good on it, though. Same with Monsters.

I did an mcu ranking just now on my blog: http://henrynsilva.blogspot.com/2023/10/ranking-mcu-infinity-saga-based-on.html?m=1

Sorry, but I’m gonna have to disagree. Songs like SCOM and November Rain would get tons of airplay and clicks if they were released today. Just look at what The Stones were able to pull off with Angry.

As of now, the song(s) is not expected to be on streaming. Just a vinyl release coming December 8th. But hopefully that changes.

My bad. Thank you for the correction.

That reminds me: didn’t Axl also tell Baz that night that The General would release in 2012? Well, he was only off by 11 years… I still remember those comments from Baz. 2007 feels like just yesterday, in some ways!

I just had a thought: If it’s true that The General and Monsters is really The General combined with Soul Monster… And if it’s true that Fortus told a fan that Seven is really Circus Maximus and D-Tune combined together… And since the mysterious soundcheck song sounds like Seven (Circus/D-Tune) to some people and Berlin (aka Oklahoma) to others… What if the band actually combined Berlin and Seven together? Maybe it’ll be released as one song. Just like The General and Monsters.

If I had to guess, probably something like: 1.Chinese Democracy, 2.Better (assuming the vocals were done by then), 3.Oklahoma (assuming it actually has vocals), 4.IRS, 5.Hard School, 6.The Blues, 7.If the World, 8.There Was a Time, 9.Riad N’ the Bedouins, 10.Catcher in the Rye, 11.Atlas Shrugged, 12.Perhaps, 13.Sorry (assuming the vocals were done by then), 14.Oh My God (reworked), 15.Madagascar, 16.The General, 17.Monsters (apparently still called Leave Me Alone at this point), 18.Prostitute And then the bonus disc would’ve probably been instrumentals that Axl had no intention of writing lyrics for (Thyme, etc.) or sketch songs that were too whacky for mainstream audiences (State of Grace, Silkworms, Eye On You, Nothing, etc.). Going Down and 10%er probably would’ve also been here. I’m leaving stuff like Seven, Ides of March, etc. out cause we don’t really know wtf those are (yet).

Nah. He’s been trying to get the rights back but has been unsuccessful so far, from what I understand.

Yeah, I don’t mind short albums.

Those were for Seven. Not The General.

I actually like Melissa in the band. Hope she gets well soon!

They owned a barn where a bunch of old studio tapes happened to be stored, and they took a pic of that one and shared it on Reddit and the Duff/TB and asked for them to deliver the tape.

Elaborate on what exactly?
