uncivil war Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Like a lot of you,my favourite always changes. One song that always gets me, though, is Jungle. Especially when I hear it unexpectedly. That intro hits, and I get chills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallex78 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Estranged is definitely up there, but these days I lean towards Mr Brownstone, just for the dirty sleazy swagger of that riff, and overall groove of the song.I think everyone really shines on that track!

Rovim Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 It's a hard choice but Estranged or TWAT.There Was A Time is inspired by Estranged. Jackie Moon said something about how Bucket's outro is also inspired by Slash's Estranged guitar melodies.Kinda neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"White lines baby tattoos, I don't know what they mean"That's nice, but do you hear it as well? the Estranged thing in There Was A Time? just talking about guitars, not the obvious Axl vocals shout out.Bucket was actually a brilliant choice for Guns imo: his tone, melodic centered approach, his ability to slow his ass down sometimes, and even his shredtastic capabilities were right for what Axl was trying to do musically. Coupled with Robin's sound and note choices, you get 2 sides of Slash: the lyrical side (Bucket's Sorry solo, Robin's There Was A Time solo) and his more frantic side which Bucket uses even on slower (to him) solos like his Twat outro.I think I'm ready for CD ll now.

Axl should let the anticipation grow. It took a few years for the CD songs to percolate. Give it at least another year. Actually 2015 would be perfect- half the amount of time it took to get CD. Nobody can say he took too long then. Edited August 29, 2014 by Mr. Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Can't Always Gimme Shelter ft. Axl Rose. Bucket definitely does a great Slash impression. It's how I imagine Axl would have coached Slash. Like Slash but more robot. Not sure what Robin is for. Maybe Bucket couldn't get that sloppy industrial blues style. Industrial Blues. Why isn't that a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Bucket couldn't get that sloppy industrial blues style. Industrial Blues. Why isn't that a thing?Maybe it's just a well kept secret. Robin's approach is different, Axl said how he thought the versatile nature you get from 3 guitar players was the right choice, so no matter how good you are (Bucket) you're still limited cause you only have your own musical ideas and approach.Slash is very hard to replace cause he's a lot of different things as a guitar player: he's like 3 in 1. The super lyrical side of Robin is hard to come by. So his There Was A Time, Better, and I.R.S minimalistic approach is a big part of Chinese. Less is more kinda thing, but then again he can do This I Love type solos: maintaining a melodic direction for a very long period of time.Again, Bucket can do all that and more, but his way. Together, they complete each other musically. At least when it comes to riffs and leads. Fortus even got to make a small, but crucial statement with his Better chorus riff. He is part of that Slash deconstructed trinity. Edited August 31, 2014 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 The guys on CD don't seem to provide the sound and driving force of the record like Slash did on UYI. New Guns seems to be more percussion and piano oriented with the guitars as ornaments. Robin is Chi dem, Better, TIL Bucket is Shacklers, Sorry, If The World. Robin seems more old skool GNR. It's like a Jungle, SCOM, Nov Rain suite. Who plays the riffs on TWAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majormayhem Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) This is a tough one. I have probably a dozen floating around in my head. I can't even pick one from each album. I'll say "Better". It can be both rock out and spiritual. The solos, the build, the explosion of the guitar right before Axl sings "I never wanted you to be someone with anger....." Amazing infinitely repeatable song. "Epic". Edited September 8, 2014 by majormayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Epic".Yeah, Axl's vocal melodies are killer, Robin's solo is lyrical as fuck, Bucket's bridge riff, how it all comes together near the end, all the melodies of the guitars, vocals, and backing vocals. Just great. Bucket is going insane in the back lol always loved that. It's the melting pot Axl always tried to achieve. Maybe more then any other song on Chinese, it represents what Axl was trying to do: marrying the old Guns sound with new influences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
