colonizedmind Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) 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....

AtlasShrugged Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 So if the idea of them being linked -- do we think it's The General then Monsters.. in that order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneway23 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) 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? Edited October 27, 2023 by oneway23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 At least this can put to rest that these came from State of Grace lol. The drum patterns can be similar but Brain was behind it and they are fairly common standard 4/4 beats via electronic grooves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycmale Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Are these with Slash and Duff or demos? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

colonizedmind Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Well I think I've hit repeat for 7 times in a row....so they must be pretty good....how does.this fit on an album with Absurd, Perhaps and Hard Skool? To be honest, shaping up (of so) to be a pretty ecceltic album is CD2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonizedmind Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) 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!!!

Caedo Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Surely they’re gonna be a Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams style double song? Otherwise why would they be redirected as one song on that songwriting credits site 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Skamos66 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) **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 Edited October 27, 2023 by Skamos66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani_1455 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
