Popular Post ludurigan Posted August 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) i didnt get much of the musical terms but i totally got the general idea fantastic analysis and the funny thing is that izzy and slash and axl (and duff and steven) did it all by instinct and by non-theorical musical knowledge! (very hard to ignore izzy's major contribution to the song after watchng this) Edited August 26, 2018 by ludurigan 7 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman5150 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I’m not Sure it was Izzy who wanted to make a song out of the riff, pretty sure that was Axl. Slash and Steven had both said that Axl was the one who said play that circus thing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SoulMonster Posted August 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2018 Izzy added the chords that made it into a sketch of a song and not just Slash's ringing riff, and Axl loved the result so much he wanted the band to make it into a full song. Duff: The funny this is, Slash’s guitar part started off as a joke. Izzy wrote this three-chord song, and we were like, Fuck this – we do not play ballads. Axl, of course, loved it. We were trying anything to not do the song, so Slash wrote that crazy guitar part, trying to make it prog-rock or something, and as a joke I played that bass part. Of course, it all came together and made sense [Bulletproof - Duff interview, Guitar World’s Bass Guitar June/July 2004 Issue]. Slash: I have to give Axl credit, because if he hadn't recognized it as being great, I wouldn't have used it, I thought it was a joke. It was just me doing a lick with chord changes underneath to gave it some movement. Then Axl came in and started singing it [Velvet Revolver, Total Guitar #121 April 2004]. Slash: It's sort of a funny thing because that riff was...I was just noodling around and just stumbled over this little bit of an idea - it was sort of a fluke. To me it was just some silly thing that I wouldn't have taken much further if Izzy hadn't been there playing some chords. It was always a joke to me until Axl came up with some words and made a song out of i [Total Guitar Magazine, December 2004]. Axl: I had written this poem; reached a dead-end with it and put it on the shelf. Then Slash and Izzy got working together on songs and I came in. Izzy hit a rhythm and, and all of sudden this poem popped up in my head. It just all came together [Geffen Press Kit, 1987]. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONIN Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Izzy was Stradlin' those chords. Is there no end to his greatness? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) There’s so much credit to go around when it comes to their greatness. One of the things most often noted is their arrangements. Everything on AFD was so well pieced together that you can choose to focus on any of the five of them and hear something great, yet all blended together it gels so well despite each individual doing their own thing. Part of that you can thank the producer also, he captured their sound really well and of course Axl, he has a unique voice. It made their sound stand out and gave them that edge over other bands.
