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

I believe Susan and Meegan felt sorry for us and devised a cunning plan to get these tracks to us. They’re our secret guardian angels. 😂

To save the band getting slaughtered too...they're very social media active, They'd see the hate more than most....maybe...either way, penny for Mr Roses thoughts tonight at the show....

The question is...what are the real titles?  How do we know that song at the party was The General?  Maybe that was Soul Monster, and SOG got changed into The General?  Until something official comes out, how can we know?

 

 

 

Gotta quote myself from a few days ago to show everyone what a fucking genius I am.

 

It's hard going through life being so brilliant.

It's so crazy that we finally have these songs out, to me it adds to the myth of CD II (and maybe even part III). We have heard so many stories, so many song titles over the years, hell its been decades now.. Its times like these when you realize how crazy its to be a fan of this band.

But I still somehow love it. As long as they aren't keeping this material buried.

The general has some state of grace vibes for sure 

Yes, exactly. Highest pitch imaginable. I just wish they had cut back on the vocal effects / layered Axls and let both songs breathe a little. But that's nothing new since they CD era. 😆

Very interesting all around. Can't really say how I really feel after a few cursory listens, but interesting to hear how we have the "different" approach Axl was trying to take GN'R in the 1990s/2000s combined with (particularly in "Monsters") Slash guitar tones that sound like they could have come straight off the Velvet Revolver albums. On one hand, it does all sound very much of its time (as someone else pointed out), but it does make more for interesting listening than the past three songs where it sounds like they are trying to retroactively make it sound like "classic" Guns.

Good chance of that.

 

Band/management didn't do any due diligence in regards to the quality vs quantity issue with vinyl.

 

Got the pressings then suddenly said "This sounds shite..."

 

Hence the delay.

Yep. Fits with Fernando's comments about the 'very low quality' of the vinyl too.

I’d love Axl to acknowledge it tonight, “downloading motherfuckers Rant part II”

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

Hey man gotta hand it to you, in particular the vocal melody of Monsters in the second half you totally nailed!  Well done with your rendition and making the most out of that cell phone clip

This reminds me of the bit from Eddie Murphy’s RAW where he says if you’re hungry and someone throws you a cracker, it will be the best cracker youve eaten. 
 

Like whatever you like, but these songs aren’t blowing me away. Are they bad? No….are the killer? No……

It’s amazing how close you got musically, dude

The introduction in the General is not good

The structure of the song is not what you spect

It certainly doesn't survive the hype but no song could.

 

Some of Axl's melodic lines are cool

 

Gostei de Monsters 

 

Agora aonde esta o solo estilo Stevie Ray Vaughan ?
