jimisbatman Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Do we have any further info regards TGAM's is two songs, or one song together. Or if they are finished mixed/mastered songs? Or do we need to wait until early December to answer these questions? At first I didn't like TG, but it's growing on me. Monster is definitely a monster of a track imo. #excitingtimes4gnrfans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said The General is a monster (or something like that), which is more than likely a humorous response to him knowing we all for years assumed what we knew of as Monsters (the 2010 party recording, etc.) was The General, when in fact The General was a completely different song than what we thought, since the orchestra was similar.

bangit Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Fernando aside.... The registration of the song as 'one' is the biggest mystery/clue. It is clear that they are indeed separate songs so why the fuck would they be registered together unless it was for a really good reason? Anyone found a separate registration as of yet for either song? The fact they were leaked together from the same source... Likely to be quite recent recordings as they appear to be finished tracks (although lower audio quality). The timing of the leaks is also crucial. The communication from GNR hinted at a 'quality' issue which would could be a problem if they were trying to add a hidden track. Still holding out some hope this end, especially as I just don't feel either track is good enough on its own but together they do sound more impressive, telling a story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people think that the registration could be a mistake. I've been checking the other databases (BMI that collects royalties for Brain and GMR that collects royalties for Slash and Duff) but it hasn't been added there yet. If they're registered together there, too, it's not a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman5150 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Anyone think it’s possible we haven’t heard all of the general? For over a decade we’ve all tha ought it to be this epic song and it’s just not that at all .don’t get me wrong, I like it, but it’s really only 1 verse and a chorus on repeat. I do think it has good bones, but imo it needs more. I get that it’s a “B” side, but wouldn’t it be cool if there more to it, and we just got a small portion of it, to keep the mystery alive, they played what leaked their last 2 shows to keep us from digging further? Come December our minds will be blown with the epic 10 minute version lol. One can dream I suppose. I will say, in listening to the village leaks, many of CD was way different then the demo version 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 How else would Monsters have leaked if it wasn't supposed to be on the vinyl? I don't understand people's theories that we could see it as a B-Side to a future single. Wouldn't it leaking aside The General confirm it is supposed to be on the Vinyl coming soon as a bonus track? It seems really unlikely to me someone would have access to NITL mixes, and even more unlikely said person would leak them. It seems pretty clear it leaked by someone getting the cancelled vinyl (which with how many were supposed to be shipped, is incredibly likely).

Popular Post Blackstar Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Found it on CMRRA (Canadian music rights database). Note that it mentions mechanical licensing, which is for physical copies. This registration seems also to have been submitted from Axl's end (Black Frog) though, like the SESAC registration. The writing credits are the same as on SESAC. https://cmrradirect.cmrra.ca/WorkRegistration/ViewWork.aspx?workCode=105047175 Edited November 8, 2023 by Blackstar 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
