Arnuld Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I really appreciate what Axl was going for in the whole Chinese era. Progressing the GNR sound forward. Trying new things. Being Bold. Being extremely personal almost to a fault. Chinese just should have been an epic double album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What songs do you know that are legally registered as the same song but aren't? They might release them separately but they are at least, twins, no? No, I was talking about Bucketdude. But he messaged me, he indeed heard the correct song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Like a Suicide Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I like the songs, but I would much prefer more rasp and orchestra, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a massive fucking push forward really if you think about it, shame it all went south, but these tracks are really cool to hear, because they sound like CD era but with Slash and Duff (bringing their best), unlike the last two tracks.

I also bet you started liking GN’R sometime in the early mid 2000s. Sorry guys, what made GN’R great was all 87’- 93’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketdude_666 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 If this is real. The 7 inch vinyl somehow will store the 9 minute song even before the production problems about audio quality according to flebeis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsdrummer63 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Not a fan of the general but dang monsters is quite cool. IMO one of the best songs slash has done since leaving GNR. That middle solo is slick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ironic thing to me is, it really isn't even that far away from Slash's stylistic wheelhouse. A song like Monsters could have easily been a Velvet Revolver song with Scott singing in that lower vocal style and Matt laying down an acoustic drum beat like Slither's intro over it A lot of this song and something like Perhaps sounds like stuff Slash and Axl could have released in 1998 if they stayed together long enough. Same with Street of Dreams, This I Love, CITR, etc. So far Slash has added so much stuff back into GNR that blends the two eras together and to me it works well Edited October 28, 2023 by WhazUp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one takes away anything from that era, but if I fell in love with Guns for those times I wouldn’t have stuck around if not for this new kind of music.

Hirtlocker423 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Reading about everyone saying how bad quality they are... Whatever versions I have are extremely high quality and sound like they'd be streaming releases. Possible there's a few versions floating around?

People are excited to finally get GNR tunes we haven't heard before in various forms, I am enjoying people being hyped up and stoked about it. I would much rather that than the alternative lol Plus Monsters in particular to me is fantastic Edited October 28, 2023 by WhazUp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumcheecksmcghee Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Which song comes first you think? I wanna try an join the two tracks together and make an 8 minute epic, 1 song thing lol.. I'd have thought the general first which ends an seeps into the darker monster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Monsters, it's a bit amusing that Evader's guess of "Who would do this to you" turned out to be a bunch of "ooo ooo ooos" on the real track. I'm happy to have listened to the Evader version, and these tracks! Nothing against Evader at all, his work was amazing, but you can hear the same “ooooo ooooo” in the party clip as I’ve said for a while now. I wish we could get confirmation on whether or not Soul Monster is Monsters. I suppose we could try asking management or band members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitar playing on Monsters (especially the 2nd half) is very reminiscent of Slash’s best work with VR. I wish Slash had been more open to adding some modernity to GNR back in the 90s. I thought all the loops, drum machines, and synths on CD were really cool and made the sound overall very unique on that album. It’s a shame so much time was wasted but I’m so glad we are getting this now. As always I hope there is more to come. Dying to hear what Slash does with Atlas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post megaguns1982 Posted October 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2023 Funny that when Fernando said “the general is a monster” cryptically he was saying that we’ve had the general confused with monster. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot imagine another song having a meaner bridge than that. It’s exactly how Axl described it in the chats in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
