If this is monstrosity, then I would bet that promo disc for it from back in the early 2010s is real. And handed out at that Vienna after-party, meaning a bumblefoot/ashba version probably exists. Also the general is great and everyone shitting on it clearly needs their ears cleaned. Best birthday ever

Soul Monster is the next song 2/Prostitute.

In that debate...I was on the side of Prostitute. In this debate.... I'm on the side of Soul Monster.

I've heard it a grand total of one time(second time listening as we speak). Maybe it's a grower.

Either way, other than tinnitus...my ears are fine.

I think so too.

Well...a bit later than that...2003-4.

Remember...Beltrami claimed these were both instrumental only in 2002.

Good points.

We'll sadly never know because the band never talk in any detail.

I'll defend the General a little, it's got a nice gothic Halloweeny type feel to it.  But I have no idea what the hell the lyrics are about.

But Monsters is definitely the more catchy song.

So these leaks are clearly old, locker era songs.
Hoarders keep them really tight, the brings the question of what other things are in the vault.

Monsters is better but The General is growing on me. Clearly Brain. The intro sounds like something from his Mars solo project. The Chorus is killer to me at least.
