Oh completely, when abuse happens at a young age the thing is that person is still developing so the damage is even deeper and harder to heal. t's not just a case of 'learn to deal with your past' once you're older, those scars have shaped your very personality and when you start to make decent progress in therapy it's a mindfuck to unpick how much of your 'flawed self' are trauma responses you can heal from but nobody fucking told you before! That line and the anguish with which it's sung really lays it all out, it's such a brave song to put out there. I discovered GN'R as a teenager in the early 2000s, worn down by and so close to being able to leave home and escape an abusive mother (nothing quite as extreme as what Axl went through) and hearing Axl's onstage rants talking about his family and what he's overcome gave me so much hope and someone to relate and look up to even out of darkness. This song takes me right back to those days and it's triggering and heartbreaking and cathartic all at the same time. I hope it's healing for him to put it out there.

It really feels like a missed opportunity delaying these when they were due for a Halloween release, both parts/songs really have horror movie soundtrack vibes. That aside, I'm really impressed. Monsters has strong Bowie influences, especially thinking of Blackstar and Outside. That third verse is peak Axl with so much ferocity. I can see this one being awesome live. The General is quite a hard listen because of the lyrics/subject matter, but musically I'm really digging the heavy, dark sound and the ending is great. On first impressions I'm enjoying Monsters more, but that's not to say I think the General isn't a great song it just goes to very dark places and fully immerses itself there, where Monsters has a slightly lighter feel (which makes sense as a part I and II) especially in the chorus. "My only regret is that I never took the time to forget" ...oof

Anyone remember the sex thread era? It was unhinged I feel like I was 17/18 at the time, I remember the forum going through an incredibly incestuous phase with loads of member couples?

Agree - he's looking so well this year, I think he could definitely pull off long hair again -

No surprises it's taking the female posters in here to explain that transient bloating is a thing -

Probably a lot more eco-friendly to be using the bus for shorter distances than a private jet too, but I haven't done the math on that -

He talked about it onstage the other night did he not? Or spoke to a fan about it? -

Maybe it's to do with being sick +/- the meds he was having issues with? To me he only looks bigger around the stomach area and not really anywhere else, and noticeably so in a very short space of time, which to me would suggest more bloating than actual weight gain. Not that it matters -
Had a really fun photoshoot recently (yes I know I should have sorted out my roots beforehand ) And here's a random stage shot from a while ago Oh and I do aerial silks now upside-down-y fun
