Yup 100%
I do like the remix that imsorry did that added the chorus from RIR3 and HOB into the song to make it complete. But the video audio verse of Silkworms is amazing

I’m stuck on Monsters
I am with you on this, I love monsters, I think its the best of the CD era left over stuff so far.
Monsters is quickly rising to the top of the CD2 list for me. Maybe the newness is factoring in a bit, but I think it has staying power. I didn’t initially like The General that much, but it has definitely grown on me. Definitely surpassed Absurd at this point.

That’s a loooow bar, man
Re: The General and Monsters
Monsters is a good song. Love the chorus, feels more alt rock, while the guitars are pretty old school rock. I’m really interested in what Slash will do with Atlas. Could be a lot more like Yesterdays
But General is like Exorcist while Monsters is Lost Boys. Best way I can describe it
Damn, monsters is lost boys. I know what movie quotes I’m going through for my remix lulz
Re: The General and Monsters
Not sure if it's been talked about in this thread yet, but pretty sure solo will in The General will be a lot less strident & piercing when the vinyl comes out in December
VPN's are pretty great...until they're not. You should start your own Robin nut swinger forum. You'd be the Mojo for sure.

Mojo? Yuck- haven't heard that name in a long time.
I hope the vocals get cleaned up in The General- its a pretty powerful song. I'm trying with Monsters, but just not feeling it right now...

The original 2006 Better leak was one hell of an earworm.
I really, REALLY hope they release The General online soon. We need that one in better quality really, REALLY bad.
Re: The General and Monsters
Mojo…That dude destroyed that forum
I haven't talked to him in about 3-4 years. I don't really have anything against the guy.
Having said that...
What killed GNR Truth was the immediate censoring of the Village leaks. That forum was still rocking and rolling at that point. It went from tons of activity to a ghost town overnight. I checked it a year or two later and there were 2-3 people hanging in.
You can't prevent a starving fan base from listening to and discussing leaks. Well you can...but you see the results.
HTGTH also nosedived in activity from a similar approach.
I kinda understand where they were coming from...it was a MASSIVE leak and as we now know, GNR wound up releasing a few of those songs.
Like I said though...it's just not feasible with this fan base. Don't forget...mygnr and HTGTH initially considered such an approach in 2006-7.
Try to stop discussion...people just go to one of the other forums.
Look how many GNR forums have existed over the decades and how few were left once we got to the reunion, Village Leaks, and today.
It had a good run.
For the record, this Finck dude is definitely NOT Mojo.

A few years back Jordan Rose at Mygnr said that 95% of the other accounts on Gnrtruth were Mojo alts, and he was just talking to himself the entire time. He also said MSL abandoned the site when he found out. Have no idea if any of that was true or not.
