Towelie Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 It is quite well know that Axl dug Fall To Pieces, and evidently he likes Slither judging by recent setlists. I could also imagine him enjoying a good chunk of VR's catalogue, especially Contraband and Messages. I also can imagine Axl hearing a few things on the Slash & Friends solo album which made his ears prick up. But for some reason, I can't imagine him going for SMKC. I can imagine him checking it out and thinking "meh, if this is the best he's got, I'll give new GNR music a pass." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) When ''Anastasia'' was released he should have thought, ''fuck me, this could have been Guns N' Roses's Locomotive Part 2'', but then he apparently declined the riffs in ''Beggars and Hangers On'' so...

El Guapo Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 He likes By the sword, wasn't there a story with that song? With SMKC, he probably likes bits and pieces, guitar riffs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol! As if the problem with GNR new music would ever be Slash We all know the world would be drooling over his riffs and solos....The same can't be said about Frank's drumming, Melissa's synths or even Axl's voice 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheGeneral Posted August 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2018 I don't think he cares even one tiny bit about SMKC. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_ Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I believe he must find most of their songs to be a little bit child-ish and teen oriented, but there are exceptions, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 No he despises it. Feels "Garbage" isn't a strong enough word to describe it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I’d be surprised if he’s even listened to SMKC’s full albums truthfully. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The songs are there.. It is just the Myles/Todd harmonies that are boring.. I bet he would just listen and think that he could have done much better things with the songs.

Jw224 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I don't find much Slash has done since gnr to be all that inspiring, especially recently. I don't think Axl really cares tbh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blackstar Posted August 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) I think Axl listens to everything Slash does and always has. From the way he has talked about music at times, I gather he listens to something analytically, isolating parts and details. According to Marc Canter he liked some Velvet Revolver and analysed which parts could be better etc. For SMKC he probably likes riffs and solos here and there, but I don't think he is thrilled with the songs as a whole or cares for the stuff Myles sings about - although Axl is unpredictable, so who knows really.

WhenYou'reTalkinToYourself Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Wasn't there somebody's quote that both Axl and Slash are very supportive of each other's side projects (Axl/DC - SMKC)? I don't know if that means that Axl enjoys listening to those songs however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristmasFnatic Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Im sure he is just happy Slash got a new album, he got another excuse that theres no GN'R album anytime soon, and he can say its not his fault! Slash screwing GN'R again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone knows ( and has known for a long, long time) that the reason for not getting new Guns n' Roses music is definitely not Slash. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I remember reading that here in the forum however just like you said, it's unknown if that means he actually likes SMKC songs. But I do think that he might like a few riffs and solos, perhaps a song as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
