AtariLegend Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Didn't someone in the band (brain?) say it was called Seven, because it was the 7th song on a disc. I don't think Seven was ever called Sev7en outside people on the the Internet starting rumours/posting fake track lists. We know 2 other things about Seven. It uses a a ben hur sample or did at the time per Brain. ....and "Leave Me Alone," "Seven," and "The General" could also feature on the new album. These three A-listed songs were worked on by Marco Beltrami, especially "Seven," which Marco deems as the best of the three songs. It has also been reported that Marco worked on a fourth track, "Thyme." However, this song was not worked on subsequent to Marco's work in October 2002.

Ollster42 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) Seven better be fucking good. Going off Brain's "SUCK YOUR BALLSACK bridge!" comment and the fact that Marco deemed it the best of the three, it should be sick. The name is kinda hard too. Please let it be the single after Monsters not stupid Atlas Edited September 4 by Ollster42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I was told indirectly by an alleged hoarder @card5777 that Seven got named so because that’s how many members of the band played on it, and that This I Love wasn’t going to be on the album, but the band protested. Probably BS, but you never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems far fetched, just purely because how would someone like brain know what was on what disc in what order. The band didnt even know which songs had vocals, lyrics or how axl had chopped them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyman Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 It's not even technically "unheard" but the version of Monsters played during that party in 2010. That solo sounds fucking great 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t blame Robin, his guitar work is incredible on that song. This I Love is also fairly prominent on the JJP Guns N’ Roses pinball machine.

Sweersa Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 This post was from L!VE FREE or @Brodie, several years ago, mentions Seven, Soul Monster, and Atlas (Talking about the 2008 album): I mean "Chinese Democracy" is essentially a sampler of... Chinese Democracy. You could have made a more hard industrial alt-rock album with Chinese, Oh My God, Soul Monster, Seven, Shackler's, Silkworms, Rhiad what have you... You could have made a softer Achtung style record with The Blues, Madagascar, Atlas, If The World, Catcher what have you... Instead you kind of get a pseudo "Greatest Hits" album. I guess what I am saying is that Chinese is not a cohesive record. He also mentioned guitar work by Buckethead on Soul Monster, saying he would kill babies if Bumblefoot recorded over them. (This was pre-NITL) His posts are interesting to read. May he rest in peace, assuming he has passed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Song titles have never made me excited to hear the song. Man, was I glad I didn't have high expectations for The General Needless to say, none of the song titles leave me interested. They could be gems like Monsters, or shit like The General.

The Julius Caesar part is why some assume Seven is Circus Maximus. I don't think there is anything that could be considered proof though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They end up being completely wrong, because it will usually be based off of a quote or a tiny seed of information that grows into the expectations of some sort of epic. It's what happened with The General. People were expecting something completely different than what it was. Had I described The General on this forum prior to it being heard, I would be called a troll. The reality is, we don't know much about the songs we haven't heard. 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
