Can you PM the version you are referring too. I have the combined version on mp3, is this what you are meaning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they should've just put it up on Spotify already. Then no one would care about poor quality leaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasIllusions Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The opening bass line to Monsters 100& reminds me of Slither. I saw someone say it earlier in this longggg thread - but monsters reminds me of something VR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the registered title would be "The General and Monsters" it doesn't make any sense, except if both songs are following each other. Both songs with different BPM and key signature? I doubt. And even if it was the case, why they would have been separated and renamed in the leak? There's only one song on Side B. Also, the cellphone clip contains some guitar harmony things during the chorus but these are not in the leaks. If someone ripped the vinyl, why only 1 people got it? Doesn't make any sense too. Then we have the tweet "The General is a monster" because The General and Monsters are one. What we have are the first recordings of 2 songs which later became 1 song. This is just my guess obviously. Edited October 27, 2023 by kitstuai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollster42 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Anyone else think the distorted vocals in the chorus of general are very recent vocals? Ik Axl did falsetto in Chinese era but it sounds like his weak present day falsetto to me but it could just be the distortion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely hear Slash on there, he sounds fucking great, but it sounds very nugnr to me overall, which i'm really pleased about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I am absolutely loving the chorus of The General. Always loved the outro of State of Grace and this has very similar vibes. Fuck. Yes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
