I love this version! In my opinion, the orchestral lead-in makes the beginning more digestible and gives it more of a grandiose epic feel. This feels way more like the song I was hoping for. Well done!!!

The amount of popups and ads on that website is incredibly annoying and makes it very difficult to concentrate on the article.

The Trevor Bauer situation reminded me to wait for more details before lighting my lynching torch. It's an ugly situation, and if the accusations are true, I hope justice is swiftly served. The reported behavior is disscusting.

Great question! I've been trying hard to remember if I enjoyed anything from them since Illusions more than Monsters. Maybe the original 2006 Better leak, or the Prostitute leak, but this might be superior. Maybe it's recency bias, but The General/Monsters feels like everything I wanted the Chinese Democracy album to be.

Imagine having Monsters sitting around for all these years, but leaving it on the shelf to release Absurd instead? I can't decide if it's funny or upsetting.

I have a very similar interpretation of Monsters. It feels a catchier yet darker version of TWAT.

The verses of Monsters seems to be more about a jilted lover to me, and not child abuse like The General. My interpretation is Axl acknowledging that he unwillingly brought his “Monsters” into the ill-fated Stephanie relationship. [Verse 1] A tour-de-force of an evil old passion A broken heart that was out of fashion Dynamic duo, in your big attraction My early warning was your satan laughing [Chorus] I was there for you It's all I could do Oh but it's over now Oh but it's over now [Verse 2] You stole my soul with the devil's romancing All alone in your bedroom, dancing Thought I could feel somebody worth having But in the end I guess you're good for the damning

My latest random thoughts… If you’re expecting a poppy ballad, this is not your song sweet child. If Coma was the soundtrack of an estranged past, prepare for a bitter sweet reunion. “I was there for you” E

I’ve been absorbing and processing Monsters on repeat all evening. I’m a little speechless. This was everything I expected for the Chinese Democracy album, in one song. Beautiful. Tragic. Amazing. Fuck!?!? “oh but it’s over now”

First off, well done! It's so nice to see a well-made, fun, and happy music video from GNR. It's cool how they incorporated the supporting cast. Also, is that John 5 at 2:46? I believe he was rumored to replace Buckethead at one time

On today's episode of Don't Call Us Spinal Tap. Slash - Yo, just a heads up, I'm releasing some music this week Dua Lipa... and Barbie too I think. Axl - Yeah well I'm going to have Fernando show pieces of paper with song names written on them. Maybe some of those songs were recorded in a chicken coup, maybe they weren't. Mellissa - Hey I think Brain was on some of those songs? Also, have I been in GnR longer than Brain??? Richard - Pffff... Brain...quitter, I'm the longest-serving GnR guitarist. C'mon Dizzy, I'll take you Ronnie Wood's favorite boutique shop in Amsterdam. I love and hate this band so much. Can't wait to see what they do tomorrow.

Who knew how true Slash's words would be, they are literally trying to figure out how to release new music, I'm pretty sure this is not the way "We're still trying to figure out how to release new music in this day and age. It's not like it used to be where you just put out an album and people would buy it. Now there are so many different ways to release music and it's hard to know what the best way is."

Apparently Blondie had the same issue. Maybe they fixed it? Either way Elton sounds freaking GREAT!!! https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/bbc-viewers-turn-blondie-glastonbury-8550662.amp
