It's just an assumption based on the Elvis reference.

We have nothing to suggest that 'Me & My Elvis' is necessarily the same as 'Elvis Presley and The Monster of Soul'.

I get the feeling the whole "[working title] became [unheard song]" thing is just people wanting there to be as little unheard material as possible. Without confirmation it's all just assumptions.

Organ intro for Me & My Elvis sounds pretty Sabbath-y.

In the Dec. 2008 chats, Axl said of Soul Monster:

Quote

I think it's our most Black Sabbath moment.

So that's why I'm 99% sure it's Soul Monster.

 

Love the track, by the way, can't wait to hear a version with lyrics.

Was kinda hoping for a xmas present from the Chairman, however understand the recent leaks were substantial.

Ok so I'm listening to the leaks again after some months or whatever, and State of Grace is definitely better than Perhaps, and that's the final word.

Finishing the lyrics and a Slash solo. That’s all State of Grace really needs to be an instant GnR classic.

Final versions of Oklahoma and Devious Bastard would be interesting too. 

[Underhardy 347]

State of Grace would’ve blown the fuck up in 99. No doubt. 

[Mendez 863]

I have an update to the State of Grace lyric mystery.

i hear this:

I thought I never said I was sorry

 

instead of:

I said, I'm gonna live with now or die

Yeah, if it was released by a different band imo. Majority of guns fans wanted AFD 2 or UYI3.

[Let And Let Live 1]

I've just now learned about these leaks from the last two years, I would've done some questionable things to hear these if it was ten years ago.

[wasted 5,759]

State of Grace is like another more NIN IRS.

Nothing could be the Bowie/Blur spaceballad. 

Eye On You sounds like it was recorded in a vacuum cleaner. 

D Tune and Curly add the 90s Alt rock thing. 

Quick Song and Zodiac good side 2 openers. 

As It Began has the most potential epic closer. 

Maximus is the No Quarter. 

[Mendez 863]

Perhaps chorus lyrics: 

it is definitely not: 

You could start A fight you know you were begging for

 

It's something like:

You could start about the others you were begging for

 

alternatively could be:

you could stand up by the others you were begging for

 

but it sounds way more like an 'r'

I wrote this a few pages back, but this is how i hear the chorus for Perhaps:

"I got a lot more than i bargained for 
(You're all alone now)
You forgot about the others you were begging for 
(You're all alone)
So talk to the ones that you once ignored
(You're all alone now)
You used to be a little crazy now there's so much more 
(You're all alone)"

Makes more sense that way, but i still have no idea what he says.

Phonetically to me, it sounds like he says

"shine/shy like more than a bomb no ooor" but that makes no fucking sense lol.

I think someone posted the lyrics as “I got more than I bargained for” (save me), like there were two vocal layers. If you listen closely there’s definitely a high pitched vocal line besides the main chorus which could account for the “s” sound.

[Gordon Comstock 5,544]

Say a lot more than you bargained for (you're all alone now)
Used to stand up for the others you were beggin' for (you're all alone)
So shout to the ones that you once ignored (you're all alone now)
You used to be a little crazy, now there's so much more (you're all alone...)

 

It's hard to tell because of the vocal layers, the mixing and the quality of the recording, but I think that's pretty close...

Oh yeah didnt even think about that! The "save me" part is probably what im hearing

[RussTCB 21,475]

I remember thinking "I sure hope the linear notes of CD have lyrics" prior to it coming out because I really wanted clarification on some things. Then the CD booklet was so jacked up, I still didn't get total clarification lol. 

If they ever get around to releasing more music, I sure hope someone proof reads the linear notes better.

Been listening to Atlas a lot recently, has really grown on me.

like some said, it really is a grower. It's a really cool song. Similar vibe to Catcher, musically got a bright feel to it. Chinese doesn't really have a lot of that imo. I do wish it had more peaks to it but maybe I'm spoiled by Catcher's solo, Axl's outro and Pitman's synth part from the demo.

[rebeldhipi 114]

Which was the third song with Brian May? I totally forgot.

Catcher and Atlas are the first 2.

Perhaps

[Dean 2,287]

Atlas may be my favourite GNR song.

Certainly my most played since it leaked anyway. Axl sounds incredible on it and that intro hits me right in the feels.

What could have been for the Guns N' Roses of 1998-2002.
