Axl S wrote:The ASCAP listing having both the songs gets even more confusing.
My three theories for it now:
1) It's meant to be two separate listings and the TB Elite Management Team fucked up
2) It's meant to be together on a full album-like release but it's split up for the B-Side.
3) Monsters was meant to be a hidden track on the end of The General on the Perhaps vinyl3* This is impossible.. the 7" vinyl have a limit of 1 song per side.. the lengh max is 5 min..
Now that it's clear that they are two completely separate songs, to me the hidden track thing would be the most plausible explanation for why it's registered as The General And Monsters..
The question then would just be why would Axl want to hide such a strong track (he clearly was proud of his work on the bridge) as a hidden track on a B-Side..

I'm a huge Robin fan and originally also thought it might even be more plausible that Robin was playing Slash-like on Monsters than the other way around, but after hearing the live-version it's pretty clear to everyone but you that it's all Slash. You made your point that you still don't want to believe it. That's fine. Nobody needs you to agree and your opinion is more than properly noted now. No need to repeat it over and over again. Time to move on.
Let's all just be thankful that we didn't get an Ashba/Bumble version
#13 Re: Guns N' Roses » Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019) » 156 weeks ago
I don't think Monsters is Soul Monster. Wasn't 'Leave Me Alone' another working title for it? I don't see that working for Monsters.
Also Me And My Elvis was such a strong instrumental. It must have been on Axl's shortlist. Hard to imagine it ended up on the abandoned pile..
#14 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rank the Post CD Songs » 156 weeks ago
1. Perhaps - even if I had preferred to have Robin's solo in the final version, it's still the strongest track for me
2. The General And Monsters - I still view it as one long song split into two files - the orchestration is a clear link
3. Absurd
4. Hard Skool I liked the demo, but hate what Slash did with it
#15 Re: Guns N' Roses » What song do you want to hear most? » 165 weeks ago
Am I the only one who's curious about Cuban Skies?
Aside from that it's Soul Monster and Seven for me.

Tommy got the rights back for both his songs a while ago...
#17 Re: Guns N' Roses » If GNR releases nothing in 2023, is this the end for you? » 167 weeks ago
Does this mean we were invited to think that it was a completed recording? Which might mean that there are vocals?
#18 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2023 Tour Dates » 167 weeks ago
Why are they still doing Slither?
What I don't understand is why they haven't moved on to Fall To Pieces by now...
#19 Re: Guns N' Roses » Perhaps (2023) to Drop » 167 weeks ago
For me it's:
The General
Soul Monster
Cuban Skies
Seven (if it's not Circus Maximus then that one also)
Zodiac
State Of Grace
Thyme
Berlin

They never recorded it apperently, i only ever heard this boot which i tried to boost and improve a bit a while back. It looks like it became that SMCK song but I much prefer Rod Jacksons voice
https://www.sendspace.com/file/60jtb3There are others like Dry Jack but i dont have them laying around. They may have become SMCK tunes as well
Thank you so much! Does indeed sound much superior to what Myles made out of the song!.
I had a look on setlist.fm. Looks like other unreleased songs are Dry Jack, like you mentioned, as well as Holiday Smile (played only once), I Left My Soul, Break You, and Sorry I'm Wrong
https://www.setlist.fm/stats/songs/slas … id=3d129f3
Quite surprising. Would be interesting to hear them and see what else they might have become..
Break You was the original title for Back to the Moment
In case anyone is interested in that I found a link to collection that includes live versions of Dry Jack & I Left My Soul...
