I feel like I'm channelling @RussTCB here, but I've read the word "vinyls" so many times in this thread it's going to make my head explode It's vinyl. Singular and plural. "Vinyls" is what teenage pop fans call those things that hang on their bedrooms walls. I find the way some spell vinyl funny and also 'rhythm' Of course if English is a second language then it's forgivable. I have decided that you can be the head of the grammar police 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blackstar Posted November 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) I looked up "vinyl" in dictionaries out of curiosity (and as English is not my native language). According to some of them, vinyl is an uncountable/mass noun (so no plural form) when referring to the format in general, but can be used as a countable noun (so in plural, too) when referring to copies of vinyl records: https://www.wordreference.com/definition/vinyl https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vinyl Also found these: https://exclaim.ca/music/article/petitioners_want_to_change_the_plural_of_vinyl_to_vinyls () https://www.goldrushvinyl.com/blog/vinyl-or-vinyls So maybe it's just a case of elitism on the part of vinyl collectors?

My take is they’re both about child abuse but reflect different stages of the healing process. Whilst The General is more reflective, Monsters reveals anger. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the bass, the last chorus isn't 100% true to the original because I had a hard time trying to hear it. And also because, for some reason, I'm unable to play everything on the bass in a single take - I just forget what I'm supposed to play lol. I edited 3 takes on this video because of that.

Really amazing to get to see the work that's involved, and to get to hear what Axl heard before he came up with the vocal melody over the music. That does give a whole new appreciation for the work. Now seeing Slash do the solo live twice, do you find it weird that he doesn't preform it closer to how the recording is? At least the recording we have lol. Thanks for taking the time to do this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Not sure why, maybe we have a different take of it indeed, but there's also the possibility of him doing just whatever he feels like, kind of what he did with Absurd. If they ever perform Monsters live, I believe this would sound a lot closer to the leak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimiRose Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 17 hours ago, AxlRoseCDII said: We know what The General is lyrically, but do we know what Monsters is about? think its still about child abuse and vulnerability. the axl scream bit is obviously his comeback to his stepfather as are the choruses. The verses are a bit harder coz they could seem to be about a lover, but again i think they could be relating to child abuse and rape. One thing I don't get, if this song is what we knew as 'Soul Monster' Or 'Monstrocity' why change it to Monsters? Those other two are such better names for songs. Monsters is a bit lame in comparison, especially for such a heavy song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why everyone thinks every song is about slash. The first half of the lyric is all about a child trying to impress an adult and doing what it thinks will make the parent happy without knowing it was abuse, it's a common thing in cases like this. The second part is like his survivors mentality and acceptance he's waited too long for justice. 'no on left who wants the truth' 'the dirty secret' 'who thought i'd be around to shed a light on you' - I know Axl bears a grudge and is a bit pyscho, but if these lyrics are about his guitarist leaving his multi million pound success story of a band then it's genuinely insulting to humanity. but they're not, so dw! 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 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
