Live Like a Suicide Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 4 minutes ago, Blackstar said: On Absurd I suppose she replaced whatever Ptiman played originally, maybe the bridge? I would think that Dizzy plays the main keyboard parts, since he co-wrote the song. Hard Skool, I have no idea. I didn't even notice there was a keyboard, then people pointed out that there is a keyboard low in the mix, but wouldn't it make more sense if it was Dizzy? I don't know about the drums on SOYL. I'm not good at noticing differences. But just going by what has been said (Steven said he didn't recognize his drumming on it and Frank, when asked if he was on it, avoided answering and just said "that's a question for management"), I'd say that it could be Frank. Maybe she added in the school bell, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now thats how you release a song. So excited for it. Did anyone get a copy of the youtube video where someone combined both songs TG & Monsters?

Not confirmed of course, but he claimed there was a lot more material than most thought. And he implied he more or less had CD2 on his iPod. I believe he also said there was a guy in Vegas who had a lot of material. I understand now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope though they tidy up the vocals as they aren’t clear enough in the mix and the distortion effect just doesn’t sound very good It’s supposed to sound like that. Creator’s choice.

rumandraisin Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 6 hours ago, Blackstar said: Absurd: There were no specific credits except for Brain on drums. But we know that Slash (of course), Duff and Fortus are on it and Melissa says on her website that she's on it, too. Hard Skool: No credits, but we know for sure that Slash, Duff, and Fortus are on it. The drums have been a matter for debate. Most people thought it was Frank, but according to Melissa's website it's Brain and she's on it, too. Perhaps: We have detailed official credits. Slash, Duff, Fortus, Brain, Axl on piano, Dizzy on keyboards. The Melissa on Absurd thing.... The keys are the same as on the 2006 mix, it's Pitman and Dizzy. With Hard Skool there no room for her on it, that single line organ part was probably there for a decade and a half, unless they scrapped it and chose her to come in the studio rather than Dizzy to play single note key lines. So again, I don't think she's on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterman Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I dont think they have scrapped State of Grace and i dont think that Monsters is a new iteration of the General - these songs share some ot the same musical themes and structures, but they are also different and compeltely new lyrics etc. I found out that this is a killer combo for a new playlist: General (with string intro) Monsters State of Grace OH my God Perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangit Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 After a few days listening (a lot) I definitely enjoy TG more than Monsters if we view them as individual tracks. Love the power chords and high pitched chorus etc. Really interesting song. Monsters is very good but mainly for the final 2 mins bridge and outro guitar which is clearly slash. Overall I really like both songs and hope they are released as one, they are better when combined imo. The songs individually are like a 7/10 for me but combined I'd go for an 8/10. Not as good as TWAT or Prostitute but very good songs that hold your interest. Quite different to perhaps and Hardskool which are classic little rockers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefinitelyInThisLifetime Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 If there’s a band that can fuck things up, it’s GnR. I’d have gone with a nice Halloween release for Monsters, and said “oh surprise, we delayed the vinyl so you get to hear it” but that doesn’t work. That’s 101. A surprise release can be done magnificently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsters was more accessible at first but it gets repetitive fast. It’s better as the second part of the general than it is on its own to my taste.

Only the involved parts do know I believe there are final versions due to Slash being on them, but not finished mix/master 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
