The General and Monsters

wagszilla

The orchestra sting on "The General" is the bridge, not the intro like I suspected. I'm not sure it works for the beginning of the bridge but the ending of the bridge is pretty satisfactory.

If "Monsters" is "Soul Monster", someone try to listen for Robin's SRV solo Axl mentioned.

Edit: It could be the solo 2:00-2:15 but I'm no SRV expert

I was right...the cell phone song was actually Soul Monster. Funny.

Bet the hoarders got a good laugh all these years.

For those of you having problems with the links...

Use Firefox. I don't see any ads.

The General sucks. Only song on CD it's better than is Scraped. This should've been released eons ago and never warranted any of the hype.

Soul Monster isn't bad. The music is pretty damn good. The guitar and bass is killer. This requires more listens.

I'm glad these are out now. We only need a couple more songs for full closure.

I can see why some would feel that guitar work is SRV inspired.

I don't really hear it but could see why some might go there.

I'm not sure Monsters is "Soul Monster.

What the hell was Me and My Elvis from the locker leaks then?

It's a crying shame if that remained an instrumental but it's possible

So are either of these songs Soul Monster?

Def Monster is not the same song as "Me & My Elvis" AKA "Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul" / "Leave Me Alone" the same we previously thought was Soulmonster.

Another myth destroyed by this leak.

It's possible you couldn't fit vocals into those great instrumentals so they cannibalized them.

But yeah, I don't hear it.

I think Me and My Elvis is Soul Monster

I think Monsters is Monstroscity

Remember the Axl cell phone thing had "Soul Monster" and "Monstrosity"

Maybe this is "Monstrosity"?

He mentions Monsters and Soul in the song.

It's Soul Monster.

We may never know what Elvis really was. As you know, I had reached the point where I don't even think that was GNR. It's Giant Robot/Bucket.

Maybe a clip from that instrumental was used in an early version of Soul Monster before he finally added vocals and the song titles were briefly merged.

Yes it was a beautiful instrumental. Crisp...razor sharp...another reason I think it was Bucket.
