shotgunblues1978 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Listened to CD and Slash today. My opinion is confirmed now more than ever that CD is a superior album on every level and has much more replay value. Others no doubt will disagree but CD has more passion, better vocals, better lyrics, more impressive production and superior musical displays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsguy Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 CD 6 months ago, CD today.I have to agree 100%, Slash album when it came out I listened a couple times did not grab me, was hoping for more. I still hear the odd tune on my playlist but CD is always good to hear all the time, just the way it is for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are downright laughable more often than they are good. Its overproduced and impersonal, rock music is raw and meaningful. Better rock album, Slash. Better industrial/whatever album, CD. Fans of Guns n Roses (actual GNR) like rock music, not stuff like most of what you find on CD. But this is just such a tired argument and the wrong venue for it, its like going to Mexico and talking shit about Mexican food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl sings with more passion and conviction than all of those clowns Edited October 22, 2010 by shotgunblues1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketQueen1985 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 CD. Listen to if often. I didn't even bother buying Slash's album, I thought it was that boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Slashs album is a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I still listen to "Nothing to Say" every now and then.That's the only song I can bear anymore...I used to like Myles but after seeing Axl live, Myles just doesn't do the job anymore.So yeah, CD...but to be fair, I've never even considered Slash n' Friends as a real alternative anyway.

vatsal Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I like both of them and there are some songs that I really don't like in both the albums.Of course CD has some good songs like IRS, Better, TWAT, Madagascar,This I Love, Street Of DreamsFrom Slash I think, Back From Cali, Ghost, By The Sword, Gotten, Watch This, Starlight.

SunnyDRE Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 In all honesty, the second half of CD is just shit.Most of it, and Slash's record isn't much better.The truth is neither album is very good. I traded CD in, and I deleted Slash's album to save HD space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 CD by far. Slash's album is generic sounding to me. Aside from a few songs, most of it sounds like filler from the singers album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaramouche Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Love both albums, still listen to both regular. But CD is far better in my opinion. Again, CD is one of my all time favorite albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others no doubt will disagree but CD has more passion, better vocals, better lyrics, more impressive production and superior musical displaysSurprising take, glad you shared. :xmassrudolph: CD has some bright spots, particularly TWAT, but what's most surprising given the stark differences in duration and money spent making both albums is that Slash is the far more consistent record, top to bottom. Still can't figure out how the hell tracks like Scraped, Shacklers and Riad ever made it anywhere near the final cut. Ezrin was right all along. So bad it almost makes you think Azoff handpicked those tracks in his evil effort to force a reunion...

Cdlove Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I could still listen to Nothing to Say and Ghost...but that's honestly it.Chinese Democracy by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR123GNR456 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Chinese Democracy, without a doubt. I still listen to the most of the tracks, which I can't really say for Slash's album. It's a good rock record, but there's some songs that I just think the lyrics or overall song is just, "oh, come on, really." For example, Dr. Alibi, I thought it was gonna be awesome, becuase of Lemmy, turns out, it was generic as possibly it could get. Same goes goes "Were gonna die, so lets get high."Chinese Democracy just seems more straightforward and on a personal level becuase of the lyrics. It's seems Axl put all of his though process into the lyrics and melodies that is just seems so much better. Even though I still listen to Back From Cali, or Nothing To Say, on occasion, the album just seems too, what's the word, generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
