Popular Post D.. Posted October 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2023 A huge thanks to whoever is responsible for these leaks. Will definitely buy those songs when they are released. So we have two different songs: 1) The General 2) Monsters They are both incredibly good, I've already listened to both 5 times each. Will spend tomorrow playing them on repeat. It's so crazy finally listening to The General. What's crazier is that it's way better than I expected, and that there are TWO different songs. I think both were one song at some point. If you're familiar with Evader's work on The General, turns out what he did is actually very very close to "Monsters". As for The General, we can clearly hear Marco Beltrami's work. What was used as an intro of some shows in 2006 is used in The General, but it's not the intro of the song! I can already say this is my favorite material since There Was A Time on Chinese Democracy. Absolutely love those two songs. What's your opinion? -------------------------------------------- THE GENERAL Lyrics (thanks to dave-gnfnr & Gordon Comstock) Daddy don't I swear I won't I'll be good from now on And I'm awful, sorry Daddy don't The hell I won't I won't be good anymore And you'll all be sorry Can anybody tell me Why the pain, it just won't stop Can anybody help me This pain it just won't stop My only regret Is that I never took the time to forgive All those unspoken feelings That were never spared And those who understand it Lacking of respect And not your sordid meaning Daddy, don't I swear I won't I'll be good from now on And I'm awful, sorry Daddy don't The hell I won't I won't be good anymore And you'll all be sorry Can anybody tell me Why the pain, it just won't stop Can anybody help me This pain it just won't stop My only regret Is that I never took the time to forgive All those unspoken feelings That were never spared And those who understand it Lacking of respect And not your sordid meaning Don't know what to tell you now It's never really what they tell you now You oughta know what they tell you now And not really what they tell you now Don't know what to tell you now Don't know what to tell you now Don't know what to tell you now Don't know what to tell you now My only regret Is that I never took the time to forgive All those unspoken feelings That were never spared And those who understand it Lacking of respect And not your sordid meaning ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Huge thanks to evader for his original mix & evader, dave-gnfnr and evilfacelessturtle for the lyrics to Monsters MONSTERS Lyrics [Refrain] The monsters can't get me The monsters can't get me The monsters can't get me The monsters can't get me [Verse 1] A tour-de-force of an evil old passion A broken heart that was out of fashion Dynamic duo, keep your figure crashing My early warning was your satan laughing [Chorus] I was there for you It's all I could do Oh, but it's over now Oh, but it's over now I was there, for you It's all I, could do Oh, but it's over now Oh, but it's over now [Refrain] The monsters can't help me The monsters can't get me The monsters can't kill me [Verse 2] 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 damage [Chorus] I was there, for you It's all I, could do Oh, but it's over now Oh, but it's over now [Guitar Solo] [Refrain] The monsters can't kill me The monsters can't get me The monsters can't help me The monsters can't... [Bridge] The more I did, what I did, I did for you There's no excuses for the hell on Earth you put me through I never cared how much I cared, when I cared for you To make it better there was 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 Whoever thought I'd be around to shed a light on you Well here's the story baby, I got nothin' else to do [Chorus] I was there for you It's all I could do Oh, but it's over now Oh, but it's over now I was there for you It's all I could do Oh, but it's over now Oh, but it's over now I was there for you It's all I could do I was there for you It's all I could do (It's over) (It's over) I was there for you (It's over) Oh but it's over now 12 3 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Like a Suicide Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Both songs sound like they use the classic 'The General' orchestral arrangement at different parts, which is cool. Not yet sure if they are 100% legit, but the screaming in Monsters has me pretty convinced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean vocally and musically since they both share the intro piece Its awesome how well The General, Monsters and State of Grace would fit together Edited October 27, 2023 by Grayfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlon_brando Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Both incredible, good songs, up with the best ones from Village Sessions. I'm very surprised Axl has this buried somewhere and isn't doing anything with it, such a waste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtripp20 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) You can hear the differences between the cell clip and the new one. Obviously less industrial sounding, but very solid. I still want to hear the finck/bucket version one day. It sounded heavy AF. Edited October 27, 2023 by djtripp20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
