Black Sabbath Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 At first I thought he messed the lyrics up incredibly, but then realized he did some weird improv that didn't really work.Kind of cool, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin White Duke Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Well, it sounded as bad as if it was Axl but it was a nice gesture. At least, Slash takes it with some humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGOG Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) All done tongue very firmly planted in cheek."Thank you Axl, wherever you are".First of all, you're misquoting Steven. Second, you're totally changing the tone of his comments. There was nothing malicious or snarky about the way he commented.Thirdly, and most importantly, who gives a fuck what an American Idol judge has to say about music? Aside from cliche contributions likd I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing, what have Aerosmith done since the 70s and early 80s? So Axl might be milking the nolstalgia trend slightly - but NOBODY does it more than Aerosmith. Edited April 9, 2014 by NGOG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin White Duke Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 With all due respect, we are not in a position to criticize what other bands have done during the last 2 decades or so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, referring to Steven Tyler as an "American Idol judge"? C'mon. Aerosmith released 4 albums since '93 (With Get A Grip being release that year, a very solid album; And Pump being the last 80's album, another solid release to end out the decade). Maybe not as many as most would expect, but surely more than Axl. I'll defend Axl and Guns N' Roses most times, but if you're saying that Aerosmith is milking the "nostalgic" act more than them, then I'm going to firmly disagree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Axl might be milking the nolstalgia trend slightly - but NOBODY does it more than Aerosmith.First of all, I don't give a shit, I paraphrased, but thank you...the actual quote is even funnier and still tongue in cheek.Secondly, again you have put words in my mouth. I didn't say it was malicious or snarky. I said it was tongue in cheek, which can have humorous connotations.Thirdly, that American Idol judge has been down the same road as Axl. He was the lead singer of one of the most successful bands in U.S. rock history and he also managed to fuck a good thing up, so he knows what he's talking about and has Axl sussed out to a tee. The thing is though, he figured out how to repair the damage and get his crew back together..oh and..to continue releasing new material with said crew. I think they've had quite a few more hits since getting the original line up back together than nuGnR has or will ever pull off.So if anyone has earned the right to poke a bit of fun at the mighty God Axl Rose, it's Steven Tyler.Fourthly, lob I Don't Want To Miss A Thing at me, I'm going to lob This I Love back at you.Fifth and final. Axl is slightly milking the nostalgia trend? Sorry buddy but it's his lifeblood, they play a few Chi Dem songs and lean heavily on the classics that the GnR legacy was built on, with guys who had nothing to do with creating any of it (yeah yeah Dizzy Reed, whatever). At least current Aerosmith are rocking tunes that they all took part in creating, they've earned that right.Give your head a shake, wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNRS Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Aerosmith became a nostalgia band once most band members turned 60 years old and had had a career of nearly 30 years. Axl became a nostalgia act when he was 40 years old and had had a career of about 10 years total. Bit of a difference there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iftheworld Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I just see this as Slash trying to fill the void of not being around Axl so he tours with all these stars. It's not a bad thing. It's just sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsession Of Vanity Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 "Thank you Axl, out there somewhere."Honestly, that doesn't sound like a bad thing at all. Almost sounds like it's seen as unfortunate that Axl isn't there with them. There's all these rockers that know each other and are friends, that collaborate all the time, and then there's Axl. Out there on his own, so far out from the shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 People who support Axl's band and the clusterfuck it has become should not be able to comment on what other bands do. Really, criticizing Aerosmith? With the state of Axl's band? It's fuckin' comical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlrod Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It's nice to see that they're joining forces for 'Let Rock Rule' this summer.The tour starts from July to September and Slash releases an album right after the leg I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Tyler sounded fucking shit on Walk This Way. I know Axl hits mickey mouse a lot lately but that was worse than Axl's poor WTTJ attempts. He's got about 10 years on the Axman though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 At the end of the day, Slash is playing with Aerosmith and is about to release his third album (in as many years); he is also a content family man who is married to a bird with gigantic jugs. He is also sober and his guitar skills are better than ever (case in point, Anastasia). Axl is a boozed up, washed up, vegas artist controlled by a Brazilian nanny who now is fat. His vocal skills are also shot. Enjoy your Vegas cashgrabs Axlnutswingers as I have a new Slash album I am about to enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
