SOUL MONSTER

Album:
Unreleased.

Written by:
Unknown.

Musicians:
Vocals: Axl Rose; the rest unknown.

Live performances:
As far as we know, never played live.

Information:
Written and recorded during the Chinese Democracy era. Known working titles are 'Leave Me Alone' and 'Elvis Prestley and The Monster of Soul'. It is speculated that it evolved from the instrumental track 'Me & My Elvis' which was recorded back in 2000 and leaks in 2019, but this is an assumption purely based on both songs featuring a reference to Elvis.

Lyrics:

Quotes regarding the song and its making:

The bridge in "Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul aka The Soul Monster (working title Leave Me Alone)" which will no doubt end up "Soul Monster". I think it's r most Black Sabbath moment. Sang it on a Christmas eve. Imo the meanest section of anything I've sung to date. Which having said that I'm sure when it's heard others may disagree but we felt it was a Christmas card of unadulterated venom so to speak. I felt a lot better afterward.
