Brain still being involved just really signals a lack of belief in Frank
He's basically just a touring member.
If GNR were run like a normal band, this would've been announced many years ago.

Brain is still involved for a reason!
Yep.
Still work to be done on that suck your ball sack bridge.
The verse and chorus aren't done...but it'll do. They'll just loop it. 
#183 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 97 weeks ago
Yeah he had stopped giving serious answers long before that Seven comment. I'm surprised he was even still answering questions that late in the saga.
It could go either way.
Hopefully we get to find out.
#184 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 97 weeks ago
There are still *at least* three left with vocals, State of Grace, Oklahoma and Seven, besides Atlas
Oklahoma and Seven are the final big guns.
Once those get leaked/released...it's over.
All that's left after that is just random leftovers I can live without.
Unfortunately, we don't know for sure these final big guns have vocals.
Even if they do, the way these songs on "the second half of Chinese" have been developed, they get a verse and a chorus and a not so great mix.
I still want to hear them though.

There's no evidence the hoarders had access to it.
Sure there is. It leaked!
Monsters showing up out of nowhere suggests there is something more in play than just the Perhaps vinyl.
This is our only hope.
Maybe they'll do an EP during the hiatus but it's highly unlikely.
I hope so, because the mix of The General needs work.
It needs a LOT of work.
While I've listened to it a lot due to being a new leak and waiting 20 years, once the burn out occurs...which will be very soon..it's not something I'll be coming back too often.
It's too rough. The quality is shit in comparison to anything else I listen to.

Most embarrassing song is So Fine
I like it.
Its only problem is being sandwiched between the album's epics.
#187 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 97 weeks ago
It's incredible that about a week ago we got The General and possibly also Soul Monster and already the forums are a ghost town againa nd the buzz is gone.
The drip feed approach really kills the hype + it shows how this saga has just taken way too long.
The band should formally announce some of their future plans - like if they're actually doing a new album then just announce that you are doing that. Right now... the future of the band feels like it's entering a 03-05 silent era.
I think it is entering a silent era...they'll come out of hibernation for the farewell/anniversary tour in two years.
Yeah it is crazy we got the two big enchiladas and the forums are already going back to business as usual.
What helps kill it so quickly is the fact they never actually comment on these songs. ZERO info across the board.
So we talk about em for a week, listen on a loop for days, and then it's over. Time for the next drip which is probably not coming...at least anytime soon.
There's no reason to release Atlas or another song now. They aren't doing anything! No tickets in need of some promotion to help sell them.
If another tour leg was starting, yeah Atlas might be on tap.
Worst song topic...
My World
Shotgun Blues
Get In The Ring
Scraped

Pink Floyd - Final Cut
Underrated effort. There are some really good songs on this album. Being a continuation of the Wall does hurt it. Roger should have built something around songs like "Not Now John" instead, but on the other hand then you lose "Your Possible Pasts" which is the best song on the album. Very Wall'ish though.
It doesn't really feel like a continuation though. It's a dirge lacking the epicness of The Wall.
Best songs to me...
Not Now John
Two Suns In The Sunset
I listened to it more this past year than in my entire life. I thought it deserved a second chance. I hated the whole thing back in the day...didn't have a single song in my collection.
It's really unfortunate that it's their last album. I'm with Gilmour...it's not good enough.
They needed to go out with a bang.
#189 Re: The Sunset Strip » What Are You Listening To? » 97 weeks ago
Still got Monsters on loop
Me too.
I gotta give those two a rest soon.
I got a Stones album and Roger Waters to catch up on.
#190 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 97 weeks ago
After the release of this set of songs... Absurd to Monsters...I think it's now much clearer on what the A and B lists really were.
Fans always took it as A list = Big Guns, B list= everything else.
It's more like the A list is fully fleshed out songs and the B list is all the 1 verse and a chorus on a loop stuff plus the various instrumentals, sketches, and obvious throwaways.
No one had any idea at the time that big guns would actually be on this B list.
