This is what I am most excited for. It's your lucky day: Personally I love how true Slash stays to the original solos. He still refuses to do the tapping lick and goes for a Slash-y shred lick instead. And if I heard right, there's a rotary effect there to replace the killswitch lick Edited April 21, 2016 by Bumble's Bridge Pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we get better videos of this and that they keep playing TWAT. I do think that he is trying to stay true to the original solos here without being exactly note for note. I'd prefer for him to actually mix this up a little and see what comes out of that. I'm hoping to one day hear something really exciting. I still remember how incredible it was to hear it first when they played it at Hammerstein and have always wondered what Slash would have sounded like. Robin and then Bumble, on the last four minutes of the 05/12/2006 performance - just incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Towelie Posted April 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Anyone else find his take on TIL to be kind of arrogant? It just sounds like mindless guitar wanking and is devoid of any of the melody from the original. Even DJ did a better job on TIL. I do wonder if this attitude pisses Axl off. Of course, I don't expect Slash to play the original solo note for note, but what he plays currently just doesn't fit the song at all and comes off a bit arrogant (showing a lack of respect to the original imo).

Russel Nash Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 CD is getting the thing that was missing in the studio version, Slash. He improved the song. Twat, mmm.. the first solo feels so natural to play, if you play it just like Robin. Slash is struggling there. I did like the outro after the epic bucket solo. The bucket solo needs some work, but he's on the right track. Just a quick reminder, expect a lot of mistakes on all solos(KOHD 4 example), everyone is pointing at frank or the tempo. Not his fault. If you got to see CD era live you will notice the wall of guitars that had. 3 guitar players means less noticeable mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblefeet Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Slash's first solo sucked, Axl once again missing his "I would do anything for you" cue. Otherwise, great TWAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuzeville Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Interesting to hear Slash stick to the original solo but doing his own interpretation. I think it works better that the brand new solo on TIL. At least now we know he listened to CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost have a feeling that Slash is having 4tus teach him some techniques backstage before the shows Hahaha.... I don't think so. Steve Lukather taught him a lot of shit back in the mid 2000's... And I think they talk still about guitar etc and getting better. He did some sweeps and stuff at the Stoke on Trent show guitar solo. Not real sweeps but like a small sweep on the bottom 3 strings. But any newish techniques are self taught and probably Lukather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would't be surprised if Fortus showed him some techniques at the rehearsals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great take on the solo but the song just isn't very engaging. Edited April 21, 2016 by moreblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaponsnflowers Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I just realized something when browsing member Soulmonsters web page. This I love was conceived back in 1993. So basically Slash has almost played it before already! In an interview about the record Axl said: Slash has been working with a lot of riffs, and I've been working out where my head's at about things. I'd like the next record to go to farther extremes. If I'm expressing anger, I'd like to take that farther; if I'm expressing happiness and joy, I'd like to take that farther. We haven't actually gotten together to collaborate on too many songs. I wrote and recorded a new song that I want to have on the record called 'This I Love.' [Raw Magazine, 1993] So it could be safe to assume that when playing This I Love, Slash is playing a song he is familiar with, to some extend. That's pretty cool. And crazy to think that the song is from 1993! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash is playing these CD songs in order to make peace and allow this "reunion" to work. I don't think he gives a rat's ass about playing these solos "accurately". And he sure as hell is not going to get guitar lessons from some dork. Appetite, Lies, Illusions.

wasted Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Haven't heard them clearly but sure they are fine. I think they did did TWAT is Mexico? How was that? The fact they have not done STreet of Dreams makes me think it was about Slash quite a bit like @SilentJay said. I guess it's like the CD mission statement and the mission was complete. Catcher might be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD songs in these concerts are break periods. Nobody cares. Slash free-styling on these songs is only thing that makes them interesting.
