For me Brain is one of the BEST drummers ofvthe world and when he left his parts can't be replaced for anyone out there in the GNR camp
He’s used to get HAMMERED on the boards for the YCBM intro though. Can’t win em all i guess!
When i listen Prostitute i think is a fucking great song with the worst mix posible.
A bit of more powerful guitars here, a little less clean Axl voice there ... And It would be one of the BEST GNR song ever

As with the whole album, it’d be nice to hear the actual basslines. Drums, guitars and Axl are phenomenal.
Comparing it to the clipping aimless sonic mess that is The General is night and day

Re: The General and Monsters
I’m actually really starting to love this song….the power chords, lyrics, and Axl wailing at top register…it’s cool.
Of course, it’s not as cool as Get In The Ring but I digress….
Two things can be true - Get in the ring being a turd (which it undoubtedly is) doesn’t mean that the General can not also be one of their worst songs .
All subjective of course

Re: The General and Monsters
Despite my negative comments on the prospect of future songwriting I actually do love what we got....when you have it cranked and the chorus comes on with that high wail it's awesome, and slash's brief outro solo hits the nail on the head too. I think it's very cool...problem is it functions like a taste...i need mooooaaaarrrrrrr.
I think it does make a nice little EP though when you put all the post reunion tacks together. Needs state of grace and eye on you for me to feel like I can move on though hahahah.
ps. Get in the ring is cool too. Perfect capture of the entitlement and grandiosity of the man-children 20 year old GNR were mixed with a half reasonable critique of the music business of the time, all mixed up with some beautiful slash tones before the dark times of megatron or whatever he plays now....
pps. Whenever anyone thinks anything negative of the UYI band they should be forced to watch the into to YCBM in 2002....just saying.

Agree. At the end of the day we have new songs. 
But i prefer they release next Monsters, Atlas and SOG. Seven would be awesome

Listen to The General then Monsters then Sorry….together … a nice little EP.
EXCELLENT idea!!
Here's my first 7 (post SkyDog suggestion):
1. Hard Skool
2. Absurd
3. Better
4. Perhaps
5. The General
6. Monsters
7. Sorry
