It's funny because, in general (no pun intended), I don't care at all about demos/different mixes for other bands. When it comes to GNR and the Chinese Democracy era, I would absolutely kill to hear that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty confident they just played the leak version - potentially by accident if someone had sent it to them and requested it. I can’t believe Axl would put out a song with vocals that distorted and we have no evidence anyone has actually received the vinyl or CD. I can't imagine it being played by mistake. It's either some dude who went rogue or they received a promo CD (assuming radio stations still receive CDs!) that they played too soon. That's my guess. As for the quality, I've only heard The General and Monster 2-3 times from a YouTube link. After that I was done. I wanted to hear the 'final' versions before spoiling it for myself. If they're the same, so be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds the same to me with maybe a slightly cleaner MP3 rip. The slight vocal distortion from clipping in the verses of Monsters is exactly the same as previous leaks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneway23 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) What kind of eastern European Romani witchcraft is this? Quality-wise, these almost sound as though whoever leaked the songs first leaked them in 128kbps mp3 quality and has now re-ripped the same files in 320kbps. Higher quality leaks, yet, still not fully lossless, if you know what I mean. These files, on the surface, at least, happen to be delivered in the same 32-bit 48kHz container as the prior files, which tells me, gut feeling, that they've just been altered somehow. If these are actually from the officially released vinyl, I'll miraculously rise from my wheelchair and run across hot coals on video.

See, I'm trash at reading frequency graphs and the like. Did you run these in a program like Audacity and check the frequency cut-offs? They sure sounded lossy to me, too, which is why I said the 32-48 container they're in is BS. Edit: There we go. Thanks, Carlson. We put garbage in, we get garbage out.

Rindmelon Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Run them through SPEK and you get a decent visual idea of what's going on too. 48HZ with a 127kbps bitrate is weird. I think they are just the leaks mixed with the Perhaps version that was released, then somebody has fucked with the bitrate & thrown them in a zip file. I see nothing to prove that this is a real rip of the Japanese CD at all. & while bonus tracks in Japan are a thing for sure this doesn't mean Monsters will be on that CD. I hope it is but I think this is just people maybe getting carried away. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
