I just listened to Absurd again for the first time in over a year… I still cant believe they released this absolute turd with the same verse repeated 3 times and a chorus that is literally ‘Absurd’ shouted a few times. 🤦🏼♂️ Then you’ve got the ‘Screaming fucking banshee’ line out of sync in the first 2 verses then in time on the 3rd verse, which wether intentional or not, sounds sloppy as fuck… If you can’t tell… I hate this song 🤣

If the band have no intention of writing new material together, how do we all feel about an album consisting of the songs released over the last 2 years, some other CD goodies and then pad it out with some of the unreleased gems Slash & Duff contributed to? Guns N’ Roses - Self Titled (Geffen 2024) 1. Absurd 2. Hard Skool 3. Perhaps 4. Atlas Shrugged 5. State of Grace 6. Oh My God 7. Crash Diet 8. It Tastes Good Don’t It? 9. The General and Monsters and Cornshucker 10. Audio commentary from Frank Ferrer & Melissa Reese Can I secure your pre order??

Well, I do like both songs but can kinda see why they got a b side release. ‘The General’ has a creepy, ominous tone with deeply unsettling lyrics about child abuse. Definitely not one for the casual GNR fans and although the chorus has been getting stuck in my head a bit (and even the verse “Daddy don’t”) it’s not a song I see myself playing a lot mainly due to the dark subject matter and feel. ‘Monsters’, whilst still rather dark in tone, I guess has more potential to appeal to more casual listeners. Complete with its ‘oooh hoos’, catchy chorus and that Axl bridge with vocals that harken back to his hey day. Slash’s solo in the middle of ‘Monsters’ is inoffensive I guess, it serves its purpose and his outro solo has a bit more feeling than what he’s come up with the last few years. HOWEVER, if a version of both of these songs exists with Buckethead playing on them, you can almost guarantee whatever he played will be far superior and I for one would LOVE to hear the original mixes.

Weren’t Peles theories basically that there’s not much unreleased GNR material (with vocals) that we haven’t heard? I still don’t see what’s so outrageous about that tbh… As I said to someone else earlier in the thread: Why would they release (so far) 3 songs we’ve already heard in leaks (including wank like Absurd) if they had these amazing ‘unheards’ stashed away?? The last time we actually heard something ‘NEW’ that hadn’t already leaked was in 2008, that’s 15 years ago! For all we know The General could well be the lone unleaked song from the Chinese Democracy sessions and its starting to look like Axl has had second thoughts about putting it out into the world.

Well, so far we’ve had Absurd, Hard Skool and Perhaps. 3 songs we’ve already heard leaks of. Then the one time they’re supposed to release an ‘unheard’ song it gets delayed by 2 months. The vinyls clearly aren’t pressed yet which leads me to think the mix isn’t to Axl’s liking and it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if it never sees the light of day now. I just don’t think there’s much in the archives we haven’t heard, Axl clearly hates recording. *edited* to add I HOPE I AM PROVED WRONG.
