1.It is not just the fact that the word monster appears in both songs. In addition to the word monster, Monsters contains the line "you stole my soul". If it isn't Soul Monster, that's a far bigger coincidence than two songs with Elvis in the title.
2.The bridge in Monsters matches Axl's description of the bridge in Soul Monster perfectly. Again, very implausible that this is a coincidence, outside of wishcasting.
3.Monsters has the "Sabbath" vibe Axl alluded to. One of the first thing many listeners pointed out was the similar delivery to Ozzy, and the music, while not guitar driven, also fits the general mood of Sabbath. On the other hand, Me And My Elvis is vintage late 90s/early 2000s industrial rock. Besides the spooky keyboards, nothing in the track lines up with the Sabbath sound.
4.Monsters was almost certainly meant to be a hidden track at the end of the Perhaps vinyl, not a part of The General. "The General And Monsters" filing was probably TB or some other minion being told to register both songs and mistaking it for one long title.

There is piles of evidence that Soul Monster is Monsters and almost none that it is connected to Me And My Elvis. Pure wishcasting.
#3 Guns N' Roses » Quick Song=Cuban Skies? » 3 weeks ago

Bill Brasky, who occasionally posts here, posted on Bad Apples that MSL has said Quick Song is Cuban Skies. I thought I'd post this here because MSL also occasionally posts here. I have a few questions:
1.How does MSL know this? He was definitely in possession of song titles in 2011, breaking the news on Tonto & Going Down first, among other tracks. But he said he never listened to the songs, and so he couldn't describe them, leading many to believe he simply had the list of CD 2 songs from Axl's laptop but not the actual tracks.
2.If MSL has listened to the songs on the list, has he commented on whether or not Soul Monster is Monsters? 99% of fans (including myself) are sure it is, but some, such as Brasky, are still insisting Me And My Elvis is Soul Monster.
3.Does MSL have any opinion on whether the Tonto=Tooth Puller theory has any legitimacy?

Bad Apples!

Still hoping for Breakdown at some point. Though Axl would undoubtedly sound abominable on it.

Have we gotten a glimpse of the alt list yet?

I wouldn't put the blame on all of them. Whatever you think of SMKC, Slash is still a very prolific songwriter, and Duff already wrote a new song for GNR a few years back. It's one guy that's incapable of doing anything, for whatever reason.

If they do release the 6 songs as a 'package', surely Monsters gets an official release and hopefully studio versions of the Seeker and Wichita. How difficult would it be for them to record those 2 covers? A weekends work tops. Would be nice to have studio versions of those 2. That could almost pass as an album. Call it "Not in this lifetime" have it mastered evenly (some songs remixed hopefully) and there's the GN'R reunion album. Children of the Revolution makes it 10 songs.
While it would technically be a weekends work, we saw how sensitive Axl is about releasing recorded stuff these days with the Schenker album. He did multiple takes and still would only allow 1 out of 3 songs he featured on to be released, and to be frank I understand. There were so many layers placed over his voice, and you can still hear how weak it was underneath.

If Axl is going to write new lyrics, it's going to be on top of new Slash instrumentals, not unused stuff from Bucket & Finck. Even he isn't enough of an egotistical dickwad to suggest such a thing.

Another interview with him https://ultimateclassicrock.com/guns-n- … -finished/
No mention that the music videos for these songs are supposed to appear next month.
Seems that was a mistranslation of the original announcement, according to what I read on Mygnr. No music videos coming.
