Mendez Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Its got a killer riff! But, I could never listen to to just because of the stupid sound effects. Also don't like how on some parts Slash doubled down on the rhythm over Izzys parts (like he did on Don't Crys 2nd chorus, and on Yesterdays chorus). Not incredibly annoying, just kind of like "why tho". Also i feel like Matts drumming is too reliant on on the floor toms. Too far away from stevens drumming. Not my cup of tea.

I think in AFD maybe izzy was fighting for the attention because everyone just saw him as "the other guitar" on stage. Also I read i think in Slashs book, or in the Axl chats, that Izzy laid down some very simple rhythms and they didn't like how they were almost identical to slash's. I think the reason for the simple leads was that in AFD they would write together, but for the verses, they would just write their own parts when they werent around each other. But this time, the songs were already written and was basically "this is how it is, play it). Also could do with sober Izzy not wanting to be around his addict band mates in the studio, se he quickly dipped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 So many words, so little time. Such a shame cause lyrics are sometimes quite good. Filler song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my cup of tea. what slash did on illusions with izzys guitar and what axl did with sound effects (farts) and all the plastic clean production is beyond pathetic this rehearsal version rocks at least 18 times more than the final version and by the look of it this is a writing session 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerInThisTown Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I also think this song is a prime example of what Izzy meant with: the sound of the band changed when Steven left. Really like it though, probably because I don't really pay attention to drums in particular in songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both compliment each other. Slash isn't just playing power chords, it's the rhythm, the groove, and Slash allows Izzy to shine on the rhythm, because that's Izzy's job to accentuate the chords, play inversions of chords etc. Infact, Izzy plays the lead in the verses and Slash is keeping the rhythm, then it swaps with the main solo where Izzy keeps the groove and Slash takes over with the lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
