Gunner55 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Just now, Arnuld said: This shit is not for casual fan. This is like a 2020s version of The Garden and Coma Definitely not. I'm on my second listen of Monster and I'm def hearing what I feel is 06 Axl. 2006 was my favourite era. Definitely because it's when I got into this band and first saw them. But hearing notes of that iconic concert intro sprinkled throughout a studio song? Ughhh I love it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that? I feel like the most likely story is this is a vinyl rip of the rejected version which would make sense as the quality on The General especially sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vloors Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Mods can we close one of the threads. Having two The General/Monsters threads is annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonGuns Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Like both songs. Think I prefer the general - the chorus is killer and outro excellent. Not a fan of the programmed drums but they get a pass for that. In terms of who plays on it - I definitely think Slash is playing the solo on Monsters. It also sounds like him on the intro to The General. But the outro is far too fast for Slash - it’s either Bucket or Fortus trying to sound like Bucket. Monsters could possibly be sped up a bit to make it more rocky - bits of it sound almost Britpop-esque (oh, it’s over now but) partly due to the pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you rip a vinyl you still have the cracking sound behind, not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingBat Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 So Monsters was probably supposed to be a little nice surprise for people buying the vinyl? 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 could do Oh but its over now Oh but its over now SLASH The monsters...... The more I did, what I did, I did for you There's no excuses for the hell I let 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 I edited this a bit.

vloors Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Listened to General a dozen times and its just too new metal dated and not appealing to me. I dont dig the mickey ish falsetto vocals at parts either. Monsters on the other hand is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
