No disrespect to the man, but Rocket Queen long solo goes nowhere, really.I thought the solo was better tonight than it was in Paris, but still at least 5-6 minutes too long.Could have got The Unholy in that time! Guess you guys in South America will be the first to hear that, lucky bastards!Gotten 1 unique World on Fire track at each show I've been to this year: Automatic Overdrive at first Paris show, Shadow Life at second show, and 30 Years to Life (my 2nd fave WOF track) tonight, so I'm very happy I went to all 3. Also got to hear YCBM and Wicked Stone (my fave WOF track) twice in Paris, and DTJ tonight. Up to 9/17 tracks from WOF, tracks I'd still like to hear are Withered Delilah, The Dissident, Safari Inn (maybe this could take the place of the extended RQ solo?) and of course, The Unholy (I'm guessing this will replace Beneath the Savage Sun at some point since I can't imagine two lengthy downbeat WOF epics in one show). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to the man, but Rocket Queen long solo goes nowhere, really.I know what you mean, but maybe you had to be there... it was magical, pure indulgence by Slash. He must have had sore fingers after that! DTJ was brilliant but, like someone else said, no-one seemed to recognise it at first. I was shouting out "Double Talking Jive" and eventually the penny dropped and the people around me started getting into it.22 minute Rocket Queen...

No disrespect to the man, but Rocket Queen long solo goes nowhere, really.No way, he still plays at least 20 songs. And you couldn't be farther off saying that it is a nonsensical solo that goes nowhere. It is anything but that. In fact not many guitarists can actually pull that off. The solo grows, bends and evolves and changes the entire time. I would be highly disappointed if he didn't do it. I have attended numerous Slash shows with a lot of different people now and they are always blown away by it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasjust this crazy guy with his guitar and I enjoyed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when it started out and people were clapping their hands, I thought: no way are they going to be able to do that for 15 minutes I was right.

RNRS Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 That Rocket Queen solo indeed does go nowhere. The only people that seem to be blown away by it are those who know fuck all about guitar playing and get their kicks off fast shredding and noodling. I like the build up he does once, but after 3 times it gets predictable and boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know is great music and last night was absolutelyfuckingbrilliant - 22 minutes of RQ, DTJ, Out Ta Get Me, Slither, Anastasia...

GivenToFly Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Good show, happy to get DTJ (though crowd response was muted) and VERY happy to hear 30 Years to Life for the first time. Man, they really need to turn up Slash's guitar, could barely hear him first few songs.Crowd and venue were better in Paris, while I'm happy that Slash can fill arenas now, the Brixton Academy show in 2012 had a lot more energy. My first time at Wembley Arena, what a depressing soulless venue, dampened my enthusiasm for the System of a Down show I'm seeing there in April (should have got a Zenith ticket instead ).Beneath the Savage Sun is a BEAST live, that and Anastasia have become highlights of Slash shows for me.Good to see crowd singing along to singles from more recent albums.Hopefully he does some club shows again in the future.You couldn't hear the only reason anybody would ever go to one of his shows? What percentage of the show would you say that occurred for? I would say the first 3 songs at least, which was a shame, but out of a total of 20-odd songs that's not abysmal. Still don't understand why it's not loud throughout, I've had no problem hearing the guitar for all the opening acts at the 3 Slash shows I've been to this year.Speaking of opening acts, was cool hearing Glenn Hughes sing Burn.It's good to hear that you had a good time regardless. I haven't seen him at all though, so I think I would be a little less forgiving.For the first Paris show I was in the mid-front section, and the 2nd I was closer to the front. While at gigs the sound at the front isn't great, I managed to hear his guitar much better at the 2nd Slash show. Moved towards the front at this London show after first few songs and again could hear better. I don't know how it is towards the back, I'd be interested to hear what GivenToFly thought of the sound from wherever he was sat.At the GNR shows I can make out all 3 guitars distinctively (unfortunate in the case of Ashba). Here I can barely hear Sidoris at all apart from when he's covering Izzy's solo spots in Nightrain etc.I was pretty far, around here:The whole thing was too loud for me. Even the opening bands were turned up really high and it blew my ears. Again. Second time this happens to me with Slash (and I'm starting to get kinda worried). By the end of the show I could barely make out anything (I had to leave after Slither ended) so I'm not the best person to ask how it sounded. Although I did notice too that Slash was too low in the mix in the beginning of the show but it got fixed pretty quickly.I love extended solos, they're one of my favorite things about live music, but last night showed that there is such a thing as too extended. It got pretty boring after a while and I could notice it around me too, people looked pretty bored, some were leaving their seats to get drinks or use the toilets. So many false ends too, giving us hope. Felt like Return of the king. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c05mHfFBjek This sounds 10000x better than the one from Amsterdam, but that doesn't mean that one sounded bad. Jesus Christ, Slash!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trin9498 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Slash's show is probably better than GnRs these days. He can cover GNR classics, some of his better solo stuff (ie Ghost) and throw in some VR covers. The setlists lately have been legit.

When we were leaving, I noticed quite a few ear plugs on the floor and thought I should have got some too! Next time Slash - go to the O2, you know you can fill it!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguyen92 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I see on the setlist at Glasgow that they played Deep Purple's Burn with Glenn Hughes. Yes please, I will have some of that. I mean, sure, I've already heard it, live, when I saw California Breed support AB, but it's a good song and a good performance and doing it with Slash and the guys should be no different.

They also got Too Far Gone, I still need to hear that one live. I'm guessing the Glasgow crowd must have been great to get an encore apart from just PC. Back in 2012 we got WTTJ before PC in the encore.I think it's time to swap out Doctor Alibi, what could Todd sing instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguyen92 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I think they should just put Welcome to the Jungle in that spot instead of Dr. Alibi, but Todd's already got a token GNR spot with either Out Ta Get Me or You're Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
