The General & Monsters: questions still unanswered

This is also just for the actual distribution. Knowing GNR, I’d bet their contracts are written in a way that requires weeks of confirmations from various parties. -
Who listens the 7 full songs as a CD II album?
bmus1 replied to GNROSAS's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Tonto doesn’t get enough love around here for its completedness. I feel like that one could’ve had vocals done in the 2004/Soul Monster era considering the level it was brought to instrumentally. -
My guy this is an insane hill to die on. What you’re describing is fidelity, not different mixes. Sure yes, the leak and the official version sound different and have certain layers slightly clearer. Again, this is because it’s a lossy copy of the final file. The only way to theoretically achieve the actual sound of the leak on streaming services is to take the lossy ass leak and re-encode it to become a 24-bit WAV, intentionally crushing the data of the file. All because the mix sounds so bad, less data = better sound

The General Evader vs The General GnR
bmus1 replied to JimiRose's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Can anyone help me out with a listen? -
I think it's because the high end was so lacking on the leak, and that's where a lot of the clipping on the kick drum is. It's not a low-end thumpy clipping, it's a lot of very high-end popping on kick hits, especially in that last chorus. You can hear where they are in both versions, but they stick out way more in the released version.

Agreed! Call me crazy too, but the shitty mix was complimented by the overdriven, lossier quality leak lol I've only listened on YouTube, but on there it feels thinner like Hard Skool does compared to the leaks. Sonically there's obviously no comparison that the leak is horrible quality, but given how clippy and aggressive the drums sound, it kind of works better.
