It could be used as a bridge between the two parts, I miss some type of link between The General and Monsters, is more abrupt. And I would like that Monsters starts with darker guitars and drums. Now I try to wait until band release in streaming. If they don't release it this year, I'll hear what I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDemocracyRose Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I guess I only heard the demo version of Monsters. How long is the real version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agustingloger Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I don't think any Chinese song sounds like these. This sounds more raw and heavier. It has all the layers and electronic stuff but You can hear the bass and the guitar so much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said both of their parts sound fantastic, be it Richard's ending part or Slash's really melodic middle solo Imagine the Monsters leak being the Ashba version, proving everyone wrong. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might actually dig these, at least Monsters, but you never know. Would be a shame if he didn't. But it'll probably be a while until he reviews them, unless GN'R drops them on streaming services next week, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I think they work better as two separate songs. I know they’re thematically the same but it’s like listening to Estranged right after November Rain or Riad right after Chinese (the two most explicitly political songs on CD, and both rockers). You need a palate cleanser between them, and Guns N’ Roses has always been about the dichotomy, in album sequencing and musical variety. This is what I’ve currently put together as a bootleg “P.R.L.”. I like the incongruity of opening with Thyme and then going into the absurdity of ABSURD (went with the Village leak of Perhaps as well): Only went with the one instrumental since it fits with The General and Monsters, hopefully we get vocals for it and some of the others one day.

kitstuai Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Perhaps vinyl is 7" 45 RPM there's no way a 9 minutes song can fit on B side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) They're not a single song, they're two songs. And fuck me running, "Monsters" truly is a gem. Edited October 28, 2023 by jamillos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAFC Nick Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Huge fan of these songs, especially Monsters! This is basically what I expected CD to sound like (before the leaks) Quite incredible that Axl has been sitting on these songs for 2 decades, isn’t it? Must admit I do feel quite vindicated always going to bat for Axl and saying that he has a treasure trove of songs. Bravo! Also amazing how they have this amazing material and still manage to fuck up the release 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Atlas Shrugged, State of Grace and we're almost there. Duff and Slash have probably reworked more songs. Add Oh My God, Going Down, an instrumental, a new slash duff song and possibly a couple of covers and you have a kickass new guns n roses album.

dave94 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I’m curious whether this is the final version or if there’s still more to come. It doesn’t seem like the leak could have come from vinyl as it doesn’t appear anyone could have got a copy of it yet. It must have either come from a hoarder (if so, why now) or from the band / management as an apology for cocking up the release - in either case we don’t know if this is the final version or not. I don’t think the vocals are particularly clear in the mix especially on The General which kinda makes me think the official release might have ended up being reworked a bit Edited October 28, 2023 by dave94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 1 hour ago, The Matinator said: Axl said in the Dexter chats that Soul Monster's vocals were recorded in '07 right? Cus Monsters certainly sounds like '07 Axl. He didn't mention a year. He only said that he recorded it on a Christmas Eve. 1 hour ago, NicoRourke said: So wich part comes first, The General or Monsters? Didn't Fernando said at some point that "The General is a monster" or something? That was clever. Since it's been registered in credits databases as "The General and Monsters", it's safe to assume The General is first. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
