Rapidfire Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I like it. Catchy riff from Slash and Myles has some good melody on it. It's the SMKC we've come to expect. I hope people realize this and stop hoping it will sound dangerous like GnR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear wicked stone in the intro. The bridge is standing in the sun. Also... Bad Rain... Driving Rain. Not a bad song but I hope there is better on the album. Much better. If not, maybe Slash will need a new project to get inspired again. Or make an album with Axl 😀 New project would probably be easier. The problem with Myles is that he seems like a nice, happy guy. Troubled singers tend to write darker, deeper, more dangerous lyrics. Those singers are often the hard work that Slash wants to avoid though. Myles has written of the darkest lyrics I've ever heard e.g. Show Me A Sign and much of AB III overall. If this music he made with Slashs called for it he would do it. He did with The Unholy because it fit Edited July 21, 2018 by StrangerInThisTown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Guess there may be some more GNR dates in December going by that interview? Hope to see SMKC when they come to Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentatonicamenor Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Great song, good melodies, nice solo (not Epic, but good). I can't wait for the whole album! I can't avoid but I always imagine Axl's voice on every Slash song (Snakepit, VR, SMKC), and this one would sound powerfull on his old rasp voice for sure. By the way, I hope yo see Slash in Spain for this album tour! Edited July 21, 2018 by pentatonicamenor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's catchy though. Yeah, exactly same feelings for me when I first listen to "You're a Lie", but now, I love that song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, this just reinforces the unambitious quality of the song. I mean, Slash's performance is nice, but the song is generic, Myles is boring, and the lyrics are uninspired and lazy.

I think that's just not something this whole project is aiming for Correct. Show Me A Sign, Lover, Fortress, etc. I know not a lot of people would want to say it here, but with Slash's mentality to get whatever out of his mind in terms of songwriting ideas, I feel that he doesn't inspire the most amazing stuff at times and it's hard to play off of that well. That's just how I feel at times with this solo band and this band can hit gold. Edited July 21, 2018 by Anguyen92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm already bored without even listening to it. Definately won't buy this album. Axl/Dc, ok. Thats interresting. This? Zzzzzzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I see it on Spotify (U.S.), but it's grayed out and I'm unable to play it. I added it to a playlist. Just heard the 30-second sample through terrible tin can speakers. Can't really give an opinion yet, but I'm pumped for new Slash material.

Rovim Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I like Slash's riff, it's cool. other than that, this tune is terrible. so uninspired and generic. Myles's vocals and lyrics are boring as fuck. hopefully this single doesn't reflect the entire album. Slash's solo here is weak and boring. same song structure as most of their tunes. not going to listen to it again probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I was gonna cop tickets for Slash's show in New Buffalo, MI since I don't see a Chicago show yet. Tickets are around $80 before fees. Yikes. That's steep. Last time I saw Slash at Concord in Chicago, I think tickets were around $30. And before that, Ribfest in Naperville for like $15. But that was subsidized by Naperville, I'm sure. Anyway, I'll probably still go to Slash's show in New Buffalo. I am holding out though hoping for better seats. The tickets left are too far back for my tastes, especially considering the price tag. I love that Ticketmaster advertises hotel packages for $70 that includes the ticket and the new record. I was like, "Wow, that is SO cheap." Then when you add to cart, it lists $70 along with over $300 in "fees." HAHA, man, gotta love false advertisement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Song was pretty bland. I'm interested to hear whatever Slash puts out but I've never been a fan of Myles. At least he's releasing music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skik08 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 People always expecting Slash to recreate something that is like GNR or Snakepit 1. Remember Axl created Chinese Democracy which was a massive let down. Stop having unrealistic expectations as you will have a life of letdown. "You're a lie" was a single for Apocalyptic love yet we got tracks like "Anastasia" and "Not for me". Just look at the positive. Another tour from Slash to give the world an opportunity to witness the legend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom-Ass Posted July 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2018 Not their best song but it isn't bad.. Much better than people are making it out to be.. I hate how people listen once and cast judgement on a song these days.. Some of my favorite songs over the years were ones that grew on me or I rediscovered years after it not making an initial impact. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyman Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 So the next time we hear an Axl + Slash (and Duff) studio album is gonna be when they're in their 60's? 30 years after UYI's...for shit like this? So much wasted time over the years and now we're basically guaranteed there will be more. GnR is probably the biggest "what could have been" let down ever. #negativenancy #debbiedowner #genericrocksongs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 The verse riff is very cool. Chorus is ok, maybe a tad obvious. Solo is blah, it doesn't go anywhere. I'd say it's not going to be the strongest song on the album... Well I hope not😀 not bad / not great Might be a grower, or work better in the context of the whole record listening from start to finish.
