Exactly! They had more than enough to work with… put in a Duff-led song and maybe a cover or two and boom, album.

Isn’t there already speculation they have a studio version of “Slither” at the ready? 
 

Round out the album with “Wichita Lineman” akin to “Rolling Stone Blues” on the new Stones record… palate cleanser so to speak.

its everywhere in the song. Use headphones

Oh yeah, I think they’ve been using bits of “The General” throughout the entirety of NITL tour and even before that, upon listening to the official version again and again.

This is what I hear:

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 this 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 forget
All those unspoken feelings
That you'll never spare
And those who understand it
Have your respect
And not your sordid meaning

Don't know what to tell you now
It's never really what they tell you now
Don't know what to tell you now
It's not really what they tell you now

 

The 2nd chorus is different though, it seems like 'have to show respect'?

Thank you, makes much more sense! Going to edit my post!

Yeah maybe , buy theres not much continuity, is there?

All the single sound different, different mixing different sound.

These two songs sound EXACTLY what CD with Duff and Slash should sound like, in my opinion.

But we get wanky riffs on hard skool and sweet home alabama on perhaps.

It was speculated because it sounded like they used a studio version of “Slither” in a recent touring video. Heck, to me, it sounded like a really well-done live track.

Again, nothing confirmed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did have something.

Sorry, fair enough, I missed that, do you have a link to the supposed studio version of Slither?

[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 all burnt down
Oh but it's over now
I was there for you
It's all I could do
Oh but it's all burnt down
Oh but it's over now

[Refrain]
The monsters can't kill me
The monsters can't kill me
The monsters can't help me
The monsters can't get 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 all burnt down
Oh but it's over now
I was there for you
It's all I could do
Oh but it's all burnt down
Oh but it's over now

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
The monsters can't kill me
The monsters can't kill me
The monsters can't get 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 you 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
Who ever 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 all burnt down
Oh but it's over now
I was there for you
It's all I could do
Oh but it's all burnt down
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)
(It's over now)

This is my take

The monsters came ahead of me
The monsters came ahead of me
The monsters came ahead of me
The monsters came ahead of me

A two ??? force of an evil passion
A broken heart that was out of fashion
A dynamic duo in your big attraction
(Or A dynamic duo in your bed while you're dressing????)
My early warning was your satan laughing

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

The monsters came ahead of me
The monsters came ahead of me
The monsters came ahead of me

You stole my soul with the devils own mansion (????)
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

I was there for you
It’s all I could do
Oh but it’s over now
Oh but it’s over now

The monsters came ahead of me
The monsters came ahead of me
The monsters came ahead of me
The monsters came

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'll never get how much I cared, but I cared for you
To make it better there was nothing that I wouldn’t do
I doubt there’s anybody living that wants to know the truth
The dirty secret that you hid away inside of you
Whoever thought I’d be around to shed the light on you
Well here's the story baby I got nothing else to do

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
Oh but it’s over now
Oh but it’s over now

I was there for you
It’s all I could do

It's over!
It's over!

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!
It's over!

The General is everything is envisioned would be a Slash/Duff redone song from the NuGN'R era. The beat, orchestra, plus Slash's guitar. Bring's me back to first hearing Chinese Democracy in 2008. 

Monsters is undoubtedly Soul Monster, and sound's mean as fuck and fantastic. Sound almost Marilyn Manson like, the verse atleast. And that bridge! Axl wasn't kidding about it being the "meanest section of anything I've sung to date." 

Overall, this is exactly how I envisioned reworked NuGN'R song's featuring Slash and Duff would be. I know Hard School and Perhaps are the clear radio hit's, but these song's are fill with much more anger and heart.

I can’t get over that the cell phone recording of the party is not actually the general but monsters (soul monster)

I really like both of them! I think it's the perfect mixture of NuGNR style with Slash and Duff. And being 100% honest i love it. They sound like modern GNR and i like the fact they could do an appetite kind of record and go the easy way but they don't. Like i've read here it's for the hardcore fans. Only thing it took me of a little is Axl's high clean vocals on the generals. He doesn't sound like him. But all the electronic stuff with Slash And Duff sounds so good. I like the effects on Axl's vocals. Sounds cool and diferent.  Slash and Duff are both great on this ones. The band sounds perfect and the drums are amazing
