"The General" is officially delayed... but "The General" AND "Monsters" is (unofficially) out of the bag


Recommended Posts

When did the R side morph into two songs? Did they get the idea to offload some more and then forget to upgrade the vinyl size? What a strange old soap opera GNR are...If it's nothing to do with them and I suspect it can't be...their gonna be so pissed with the vinyl manufacturer that it's had to be delayed and now the Gun has been fired before they could even load....

Pretty cool curios for the already converted, but, these definitely wouldn't have helped further justify Axl having the name in the eyes of the general public.

I like 'em, personally, but, they would have sounded dated even back then.

 

Nothing I've heard so far is the absolute stunner knockout that would have been required, IMO.

 

BTW - This is all one song, I think?

I still think the two songs, in reality, is one song.

Weird as break in the middle then....there's no blend or link...unless that'll be fixed on the new mix ...

 

So Marco is on both songs...they are linked musically in that way right?

Slash's guitar work in Monsters is his best work in GNR since '91....fair?

Same here, some guitars melody/harmony in the cell phone clip are not there. I hope they combined the 2 songs and made something huge with all the orchestration and such thing.

The original solo completely changes the vibe of Monsters, and is a lot more sinister. That being said, this is just straight up classic- Slash. I haven't heard him like this since at least VR. Super cool to hear that with Axl

I really like The General's outro solo too. I think both are way better than Absurd, Hard Skool and Perhaps work.

Guys doesn't Monster fix with Bach's screaming vocals on "The General" far more? Is Monsters the Soul Monsters lyrics Axl referred to writing and singing on Christmas Eve...."meanest thing I've ever written..."

 

Need more details soon!!!

MONSTERS Lyrics

A tour-de-force of any old passion
A broken heart that was out of fashion
Dynamic duo keep your ..(figure).. crashing
My early warning was your satan(i)c laughing

I was there for you
Its all I had to do
Oh but its over now
Oh but its over now

I was there for you
Its all I had to do
Oh but its over now
Oh but its over now

The monsters......

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

I was there for you
Its all I had to do
Oh but its over now
Oh but its over now

SLASH

The monsters......

The more I did, what I did, I did with you
There's no excuses for the hell that you put me through
I never did, I was a kid, would I kid with you?
To make it better there's just nothin' that I wouldn't do

I doubt there's anybody left that wants to know the truth
The dirty secret that you hid away inside of you
Who ever thought I'd be around to shed a light on you
Well here's the story baby I got nothin' else ta do

I was there for you
Its all I had to do
Oh but its over now
Oh but its over now

I was there for you
Its all I had to do
Oh but its over now
Oh but its over now

I was there for you
Its all I had to do

I was there for you
Its all I had to do

I was there for you

Any chance you have the lyrics for the General? Some of the distorted parts I can’t make out.

**Breaking News**

the mixed and mastered version just leaked
EDIT: since people seem to be triggered by me linking a discord for people to access a better version of their favorite band's new song, ill refrain from helping :)

Could It be that this were 2 different songs which we have heard now and they have been put together and made a whole song with Slash & Duff, for me The General sounds too much as a demo to really be the final version

Also explains why in ASCAP appears as The General and Monsters if they were 2 different  songs should be credited in sepparated ways no?

Totally his best work for GNR since '91. Not too hard but has to be said....some amazing guitar on these tracks....Slash absolutely can contribute to dark as fuck "epic" tracks as he said... pleasantly surprised
