Blasphemous statement on a hugely mainstream rock band forum, I agree.

The General lyrics aren't exactly the song's strong suit, wish he could've been more direct, almost feels like he holds back, which could be deliberate, anywho not comparable to Illusions, like use the OIAM approach. Monsters is that spitting venom which is a welcoming return, foolish on my part to try to compare to Illusions, we won't get that ever again as it's likely Axl writes heavy through experiences solely, unlike sitting in a dark room and channeling from within.

Good point, there sure was a lot of thought put into it once he made it to the studio and you're starting to see a vision of his unfold and not just throwing shite at a wall and see what clings, it's easy using hindsight, but seems to me time had to pass during the 90's for him to form his vision with all that was going on around him musically and with the players he had was, for a lack of better word 'tools' to achieve said vision. I think the trend chaser moniker stems from him incorporating mainstream hitting acts at the time and it could be interpreted that way, who knows. He set himself up to fail from the get-go with his own terms and a supposed trilogy of his, but great to have it unfold finally.

Oh for sure there's FNM influenced stuff there, wouldn't put it at the top of that list, but it's there. Lotta late 90's along with the mentality of progressing naturally beyond illusions. He did get too busy with chasing trends instead of focusing on material presented, which imo was up to snuff.

would be very interesting to hear specifically with the less satisfied listeners and their thoughts. Personally intrigued to know what they expected in their minds,that is if they had any to begin with, just curious.

the general vocal melody during verses sounds like Pixies - Silver Bullet, hmm Axl ghostwriter for Charles confirmed?

whatever Baz says, I can live with atlas,sog,seven and the cult followed ones though

another for the record; crickets near water really trigger my spidey senses, it fits definitely

can't wait either hipster fantano always sets the record straight! Only then can I form a proper opinion while at the same time agree with him

not enough layers and distorted falsetto with schizo lyrical personas to reach the 1010 climax, not hip enough. nice try Axl. sips some kind of 1800's wine* now what else you got for me Axxl

daddy can * do mommy * fear not it all went into the general, all the monsters, however we now know there's a new unheard of vault somewhere, hmm

the general on the piss off scale passes with flying rainbow colors from here

In some fucked up way, this is Axl's most inspired piece that's been captured sonically, again good or bad, but it's there and it's over now.

it will grow inside you trust me slash has redeemed himself with this one imo

music aside, just fun to watch it play out between the two extremes on both spectrums, competing for who can convince themselves the most that it's either the goat/bloat.

good or bad, song requires your full attention, more of that I say yes daddy

Primus - Brown Album makes too much damn sense..

Drums are something for sure. Both chorus' build and create a nice contrast, like one ends on a low/atonal note and the other on high, unsurprisingly few things popping up that need attention, slash all over M. Will be interesting if they have a transition on release or a simple fade

This ain't even THat out there even for uncle Axl, coupled with a simple song structure, try the baddie with headphones on, final rip will rip.

Baz wasn't kidding when he said Axl was mean

Irs, twat says hello, anyway this seems like an apt song for the occasion

TG - CD fan M - Classic fan New cd era upon us now? Empty that shit already

Kudos slash, put me in a time capsule for a wee bit there.

Dont know about you, but combine tg and sm, there might just be world peace by new year's

Monsters feel like a natural progression of the old band with Axl egomania, I like it, nice one. General will be interesting with a proper mix, I presume. Axl done cucked me again.
