Phone clip also has that lead line which was in a way reminiscent of Estranged. Definitely sounds like lyrics were changed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vloors Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Monsters sounds like a VR song and my fav of the two. Not a fan of the General. Sounds like it should have stayed in the CD trash bucket. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was never a single word from anyone in the know that made the claim. It was simply an assumption based on the various working titles we heard about. I never understood most fans' confidence about Me and My Elvis = Soul Monster just because of "Elvis". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBucky Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 So if these are two songs that go together, they're just releasing the General half on the Perhaps single? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimiRose Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 If the orchestra is higher in the mix in the final master, and the slightly muddied effect in the choruses (most likely bad vinyl rip) are cleaned, this will finally be the next great GnR epic. Slash's leads remind me of beggars and hangers on outro 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that it was originally called "Leave Me Alone" (same as in Marco Beltrami's interview from 2003), then "Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul" and then "The Soul Monster". He didn't say "Me and My Elvis". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Anyone figure out the lyrics to The general yet? I personally believe monsters is written about his mother and the two songs are connected similar to brain damage and eclipse.., we will rock you /we are the champions.., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skamos66 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The General lryics definitely sound like one of those Axl mental breakdown songs where he scratched it all out on paper. Glad he is a happier person these days and that he revived old friendships before it was too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same melody anyway so it's the same song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabby Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Now that this is out, I would love to know who had heard it before today and where(cause I’m sure there is some people that have heard it before today) now that they won’t get berated with questions about the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
