Duff will sing the "hey" parts Axl all the way. This is one of those rock songs that's so good it gives me chills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) The reality is, that's a tough riff to play the bass part and sing at the same time. Duff ain't exactly Les Claypool or anything close. Edited June 16, 2016 by moreblack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a live version where the intro is very long, maybe with band intros. Yeah I remember that too...didn't they used to have a jam on 'Feel Like Makin' Love' by Bad Company? I thought that was kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Could go either way with this one.. I bet it will be awesome if they do it and I hope they replace one of the CD songs when they do it. 2 CD songs is more than enough. Glad to see they are mixing it up though. Most of all I hope the band is practicing their asses off and are going to sound better than they did the first 6 shows. That is the most important thing to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Axl Rose is actually willing to sing slither let alone be cool with he band playing it, he's clearly open to anything! Plus Adler did hurt his back for the April shows, and appears to be %100 now so, I'm optimistic until anyone official says otherwise!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I think there's going to be a lot disappointed if they are expecting Adler. Also, what if in Axls absence the band have taken it upon themselves to rehearse Slither, and he doesn't know? What if they were going to try and convince him, when he gets back, to have a crack at singing it....

Well I've said before that I have yet to buy a ticket to any one of these shows or put a dime of my own cash into it. If Adler and izzy get involved I'll change my tune myself and go to a show but, I'm gonna blindly wait in optimism and hope for the best.

You not going to any shows? I would if they were here in the UK, I don't think I would be disappointed with the main three doing Coma and Slither . Seems a bit dodgy though to me, how all the rest is typed and Slither Is written on, I bet Axl doesn't know he's going to singing it lol.

DieselDaisy Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Reading this, I rather like Scott Weiland haha, Quote "Get in the ring. Go to the gym, motherfucker, or if you prefer, get a new wig, motherfucker. I think I'll resist the urge to 'stoop' to your level. Oh shit, here it comes, you fat, botox-faced, wig-wearin' fuck! O.K., I feel better now. "Don’t think for a second we don't know where those words came from. Your unoriginal, uncreative little mind — the same mind that had to rely on its bandmates to write melodies and lyrics. Who's the fraud now, bitch? "Damn, I couldn't imagine people writing for me. How many albums have you put out, man, and how long did it take the current configuration of this so-called 'band' to make this album? How long? And without the only guys that validated the name. "How dare you! Shame on you! How dare you call our bass player 'spineless?' We toured our album over a year and a half. How many shows have you played over the last ten years? Oh, that's right — you bailed out on your long-awaited comeback tour, leaving your remaining fans feeling, shall we say, a trifle miffed?! I won't even list what I've accomplished because I don't need to. What we're talking about here is a frightened little man who once thought he was king, but unfortunately this king without his court is nothing but a memory of the asshole he once was." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeADog93 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 If they're going to do anything from Slash's catalogue I would prefer it to be Dr. Alibi. I think Axl would absolutely nail that song and it would be nice to pay tribute to Lemmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheapJon Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Scott on Axl after the VR split: "...the same story that they did with Axl Rose in their last band, where the lead singer was being demonised? Originally I thought: “What a hooray for tolerance! he must have been. What an evil man.” But you know what? I have to say that I have an entirely different opinion of him today." That’s a turnaround. Last year you verbally laid into him in a very public manner. "But y’know what? That was a long time ago and I’d heard a lot of stories. But there are two sides to every story, and having been in this band I actually feel for the guy and understand him a whole lot more." http://teamrock.com/feature/2008-06-23/scott-weiland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprite Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) I think when Scott said that about Axl he was around a lot of animosity toward Axl from Slash, Duff and Matt. And didn't Axl say something in the press that kind of prompted that response from Scott? I can't remember exactly. But I think Scott felt a brotherhood in those days in VR so it was more like sticking up for a friend. Then as @CheapJon pointed out he changed his tune later on.

He also mentioned something about rest of the band not digging that riff at first This arrangement they had... https://youtu.be/ximVwpbn3Qw?t=4m24s Great times.
