Popular Post bt88 Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Feels like when IRS leaked. This magic is why we keep coming back after all these years. The general is strong but monsters is unreal. No issues with the vocal effects. Axl never wanted to stay static. The hook, the tonal shift, the outro solo. It's an all timer.

Cmon man Yeah, it’s 100 percent a bummer that, just like “Perhaps” studio release, our first listen is a low quality leak. I know it’s our own faults. We could have waited. But let me be clear: I could not have waited. Because this is GNR and it might never see the light of day. Too hard to resist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has that same doomy vibe, too good of an instrumental to never have vocals added. I’m wondering what the connection is too because it does have a similar vibe. It’s entirely possible that they mixed and matched vocal tracks on to different instrumentals. Not saying this happened here with that track. But they seemed to cut a lot of corners.

Axl sounds fantastic in my opinion, I think any faults I can find are due to the songs themselves (be it the initial MP3 leaks or the Youtube one that has both linked together) not being in proper release-ready fidelity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 A buddy of mine who is an audio engineer, and long-time GN'R fan says these are "unmixed" tracks. They certainly don't sound suitable as-is, to my untrained ears. As far as Monsters being Leave Me Alone / Soul Monster, I understand why some believe this, because it sounds like Sabbath, as Axl described Soul Monster in 2008, the lyrics sound mean, and monsters and soul are used in the song. I mean, it could be Soul Monster, but I don't believe it is because it's so far off from the Me & My Elvis instrumental from 2000, and we heard a very rough 2 minute recording of this very track from 2010, and from 2000 to 2010, I can't believe they would have let that instrumental go to waste. We are also assuming since Axl talked about Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul as being a working title, that it was also Me & My Elvis. If these songs somehow are connected or the same, I don't hear any elements from the 2000 instrumental. So, if I had to guess, Soul Monster and Monsters are two different songs. Which is kinda weird, having two songs with "monster" in them on one album, but who knows. Maybe it was "Monstrocity" before. I wish I knew definitively.

Popular Post Caught_in_a_Coma Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Axl is the GOAT. This cements it. ChiDem/NuGuns era was like the Star Wars prequels/Clone Wars. Took time to see the good because it wasn't the glory days 2.0 but now people see the genius of it and miss it.

Sonicjam Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Fucking love these songs. Listening to them as one song especially just works so well for me. I prefer the general over monsters, but then again i like omg and absurd, and early muse. Better than i expected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it always seems like Axl is trying to take some unmakeable dream song he hears in his head and put it on a record. And that is when I love GNR the most. It’s like he tries to take all the things GNR has the capability of an etch it into a song. It’s something to be admired I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
