Re: Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019)
Elvis was remamed Leave Me Alone. Beltrami said he worked on Leave Me Alone. See the quotes in the first page for quotes.

it's a shame that we will probably never get to hear completed versions of soul monster the general or seven
Re: Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019)
There's clearly tonnes more not accounted for.
Seeing as how the leaked CDRs were labeled "J587 85 (Robin/Tommy Demos)" and so forth through "J587 278 (The Rebel)" I would have to assume that there are quite literally hundreds of discs from these sessions. Granted, most are probably just dozens of slightly different alternate mixes of songs we've already heard, but I'd wager there are tons of jams and instrumentals in various stages of completion.
Also fascinating is that the Rough Mixes CD #1 - #4 reference DAT #2, DAT #5, B. Head CD #2, etc. It's like these were the greatest hits from dozens of different sources. Like what else would have been on those Buckethead CDs that he submitted? I wonder if it was anything else that he's already released, or they were specifically created for submission to Axl?

Just bumping this to mourn the fact that we will almost certainly never get a finished track with Axl vocals on top of this. I guess it's technically possible this turned into another song but I'd say 99% chance this was never used, and that sucks. Axl really didn't deserve the band he had. So much squandered potential.

Fortus told a story one time where he had someone come to his house, and saw a stack of CDs on his floor and asked if those were the CD sessions, and Fortus said no its just one song lol
There are def hundreds of those discs , esp bc of all the different producers that worked on the songs

I agree.
This is in the bin with however many other instrumentals were never worked on again.
Re: Me And My Elvis Instrumental Leak (2019)
I still think this is Leave Me Alone/Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul and nothing to do with Monsters. Axl did like reusing lyrical themes.
However I'm skeptical we'll ever hear it or ever know without an interview where some one straight up asks someone from that era.

It's not just lyrical themes...it's Beltrami.
[GNR] was sort of just work for hire. [...] I met with Axl and he played me these songs, asked me my ideas about them, and I told him what I thought they needed. They gave me four songs to orchestrate. [...] A song called 'Seven,' which is the one [...] I actually wrote a guitar part [on]. There was one called 'Thyme,' one called 'The General,' one called 'Leave Me Alone.'" (Marco Beltrami, IGN, 07/20/03)
Me and My Elvis would make it 5 songs instead of 4.
