Twinaleblood Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 'Me & My Elvis' is one of my favorite tunes from the leaks. Other than the Elvis reference in the title, do we have any other hints (not saying "confirmation" because I don't think we have one) that this song and the one Axl referred to as 'Leave Me Alone'/'Elvis Presley And The Monster Of Soul'/'Soul Monster' might actually be the same song?

Twinaleblood Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 I thought so. Also, sometimes I'm just curious about where the working titles come from. I mean, Smells Like Josh Spirit is a quite obvious reference to the riff and the drums of the song. D Tune and Quicksong are typical working titles. But titles like Me & My Elvis or Three Dollar Pyramid? That would be fun to know. If Mustache was a slow, sabbath-like riff I would have thought the name was coming from Iommi and Geezer, lol.

rocknroll41 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 They probably just smoked some weed and wrote down on the white board the first random words that came to their minds as soon as they would come up with a new riff or whatever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneway23 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Maybe it's now called "Me & My Elvish" and will feature in Amazon's new Lord of the Rings show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I thought Robin's amazing guitar work was Buckethead's for the longest time on this track. If Slash re-records the guitars for this song, I hope he does it justice. Real orchestra was added eventually, Buckethead played on it too, though I don't think he's on the Village instrumental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, man...I guess I only had three reactions today. Anyway, maybe Axl could ride in on the back of an Oliphaunt in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being contrary for the sake of it, I admit you probably know better than I do, but, are we sure that's Robin? I know the mix on Rough Mixes #4 is from March of 2000, so, it'd probably be soon to record, but, didn't Buckethead join up in November of '99? Then again, the bends in the "chorus" definitely sound like Robin. It's likely him. Edited February 8, 2022 by oneway23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was 99% sure or more it was Bucket, but members here said in response it was unlikely to be him due to the date, but Buckethead was in the band from late '99 as you mentioned (I thought since Christmas of '99), so it could be him. Bucket is also on Riad and Madagascar, so it is possible he is playing. Members with keener ears than me swear it is Robin. So, it could go either way for me. I'd welcome any thoughts on the matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you mention him, because I meant to include him, but would have ended up going off on another tangent, so I stopped short LOL I was one of those people way back when slagging him...Boy oh boy, some of those solos on the early shows. Once the CD stuff starting leaking out and I could really listen to what he was doing on the new songs, though, I gained such an appreciation for his talent.

Same, but to be fair: the way he handled the old stuff was pretty bad, sometimes brutal in the beginning. And he looked and moved like a dork sometimes. But yeah, later on (and on recordings) he was brillant and a very interesting player. Love "Fight Train" as well and I would really like to hear that solo album he mentioned someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
