It is not a GNR original but it is not merely "a cover song - no more, no less" - it is more than you are making it out to be Slither being played is cool as hell and it sounds great me and many others have waited 20 years for this. slash and axl sharing the same stage together. what do we get ? a bunch of forum members complaining about the slash intros and solos. i do know the meaning of axl singing a vr song and i respect all parties for that. i just took a cheap dig at the anti-slash army out there about him spending to much time on guitar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thrilled they are playing it and it is quickly becoming the best sounding "cover" they do.... I just wish Axl practiced it 5 times with the band in rehearsals instead of using the live show. Everyone I know that cared "outside of here" watched the first performance from blabbermouth and classic rock links and thought it sucked. Most people that aren't die hards like us aren't going to keep watching.. That video was pretty cool too with the screenshots. Almost pro-shotish.. I really hope they get to work on a Blu Ray after this leg and I hope this song makes it on there. Highlight of this leg for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the bashing Frank gets here, it's Axl that is 100% off time on Shadow- WAY too fast in several parts. However, he sounds phenomenal. If and when he gets the pace of this song straight, with those vocals, this could easily be a highlight of the set. I've been listening to this song for close to 30 years, and it's always been a favorite. So glad they revisited it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 0:29 mark, after the drum fill, frank is out of time (or slash?), and Axl is not singing yet. And after every drum fill, the band (or frank) lose the tempo again...

Of course, this is all off of cellphone footage over shitty NYC wifi (on my end), so who really knows. But as I ( and fellow Masshole Tom 😂) said- if they get this song going, it's going to be killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post D.. Posted June 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2018 My review: it was great overall. What I'm the most impressed with is how tight the band is: they make it sound SO EASY to play. Great musicians. They clearly have all worked extremely hard to get to that level and make it sound that easy. The setlist was great. I wish they had played TWAT or Catcher, or another deep cut, but I really can't complain. I think it was 3 hours long which is... awesome. Axl's voice was phenomenal most of the time. Much better live than in the videos . I was highly impressed. He nailed most songs (especially Nightrain and Don't Cry). He even impressed me on Coma (so glad I finally heard this monster live). It's still not his 2010 level, but it's pretty damn good. "This I Love" was terrible. There are two songs where I wasn't completely happy with Axl's vocals: "Civil War" and "This I love". But what really killed "This I love" was Slash's horrible take on it He murdered the song. They should stop playing this live, for real. Slash can't play the solo and it ruins the instrumental part. I had a very nice time overall. Thing is, I felt those guys had nothing left to prove... Or do they? I will definitely not attend another show for years, unless they release and play new material. It was great to finally witness Slash, Duff and Axl together, and spend some time in their company, but I expect something fresher next time. Something unexpected. Something surprising. Something new. I think that's what this show lacked. 2010 was surprising on a lot of levels. This show from 2018 was not. It was a well-oiled machine, extremely tight, and very much enjoyable, but... it lacked the urge. Does it make sense? Don't want to sound negative. It was still an amazing show. And glad to see Axl this happy. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a weird way to look at it. Like Scott joined GNR by proxy. Without Izzy they needed another writer to really put out enough records to satisfy the fans. Slither with Axl is what fans want on a GNR album. It seems anyway. GNR becomes the umbrella that they make a living off from songs members wrote.

estrangedtwat Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Just listened to Bill Burr's podcast. He was on his way to this show. Said he had a ticket to the super secret Troubadour show in 2016 but couldn't go. Fuck, can you imagine? Ugh. Anyone spot old Billy Red Balls in the audience?
