So if Monsters is Soul Monster the person who posted the “they say the stars don’t look the same, I may have changed, yet I have my soul to claim” (or something close to that) was bullshitting. Unless those lyrics are from another song we have yet to hear. 

Seems likely that person's full of shit.

However, if memory serves he actually said the line was from "Me and My Elvis" which later became "In This Grave". 

At the time, we all assumed that "Me and My Elvis" was the same song as "Soul Monster", but that no longer appears to be the case. It is a different song, so in theory could still be true lol. 

He also said this:

“The General,” which he calls the B-side to “Perhaps,” also was long in progress and could join the show soon.

They forgot the best one! (Soul Monster)

there is a dude who posted a bunch of comments on YouTube, one of them was that a song name (pretty sure it was Soul Monster) had changed to In This Grave. It's almost certainly bullshit. 

Would love to hear a finished mix of Atlas Shrugged, always enjoyed the demo.

Where was it mentioned that the name of this song was changed to "Never Said"? Read that somewhere but I can't remember where. 

It does make sense, the book is kind of bullshit and Axl said the song doesn't have anything to do with it anyways. It is a great title though.

I’ve pretty much found all 3 of the releases songs superior to the demos. But that’s just me. I know that isn’t a very common feeling. 

i do tend to agree with this, certainly the demos feel like they're demos, and not the final mix, so there's an obvious upgrade in quality. i really like what they did with Perhaps the most, and Slash and Duff's contributions improved Absurd as well. 

With Hard Skool, I'd rather listen to the release than the demo, for sure. But I will say that it's a pretty mediocre mix. And I'm not a drummer, but I think Brain is playing just slightly behind the beat and it gives the song a sense of excitement on the demo that's totally missing from the release where the drums are sterile and lifeless.  

gotta say, the video is pretty great. surprised they managed to keep it under wraps, but even more surprised they made one in the first place. Well done GNR!!

No Shadow?

previously released as a b-side in 1987 so it doesn't count. 

surprised that Hard Skool is winning handily so far. it is really close between that and Perhaps for me.

 

Since no one's done this yet, let's start a poll. Absurd, Hard Skool or Perhaps ... Whatcha got?

The General brings up GNR in Spotify Norway now! 

Didnt do that two days ago 

Spotify X-Files 2: Axl Fights the Future (Releases) 

can't wait to hear it again when it's released to the streaming services in a few months

obviously need to hear it a few more times, but thought it sounded pretty good on first listen. definitely seems like a different vocal than the demo, and slash's solo ended really well. 

as someone mentioned early, seems like a more interesting depth to the mix than the last 2 as well. 

all things considered ... this is a pretty cool idea. perhaps gnr was right. 

Release The General on a shellac gramophone

dj just said that perhaps something special will happen in a few minutes

Can someone use A.I to mute the crowd, bring to the front the bands performance of this all time amazing clip.....to think they had NO idea what they were witnessing! That last minute is pure raw.emotion from Axl, damn! Even shut them up a little to get a bit of response at the end....would love to hear the first minutes clearer though without the idiots! 

 

Imagine telling these people that this song will be a hit when it's released in 6 years ... and then in the distant future, Axl will take WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY longer to release new songs.

Didn’t someone say that Tommy is there? He’ll probably make a guest appearance.

Tommy out to play bass on The General...

...is what will not happen.

After the success of the "Jukebox Incident", GNR should look for new (ie. old) methods to get their music out to the people. Next up is a "The General" flexi-disc in random magazines.
