Popular Post MildlyArtistic Posted November 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2019 On the flip side, I feel like Slash noodles aimlessly way too often now. He seems to focus more on playing fast during solos instead of in ways that evoke emotion. 18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love his recent studio solos, he just seems to play like someone else live. I think we could say Slash and Axl can still be themselves in studio but live, FOR ME, both fail to reproduce what made them immortal. I still dig GnR live, I love these guys; but I cant help to reckon that I miss both old styles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderfinger Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I thought this was a thread about slash and a radio station called SIC. A lot of his emotion is sacrificed for shredding or noodling at times, he had more melody and passion in his solos up to 93 than there is now. (Fret wanking, is what it’s been referred to in any band I’ve played in) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrolk Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I like the way he is playing ....But ...in 86-93 he was "often" under the influence ..witch made him more into he's playing ... More soul back in the day ..... Back in the day he was very soulful ..... So what happened? ...What happened to axl? ... time time time ... its a big money machine ... ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom-Ass Posted November 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2019 I think Slash is playing awesome.. Take him out of the equation and the shows aren't worth the price of admission.. Even if teh admission was 20 bucks. His blues solo this leg is in incredible.. I was watching the Seeker from the Charlotte show and even that solo kicked ass.. His Rocket Queen solo is much improved over the last couple years.. He still tears the shit out of the Nightrain and PC solos.. Slash is a beast.. That is pretty much the overwhelming consensus from every die hard and casual attending these shows.. People here just suck I still think he gels and plays better with his solo band for whatever reason.. Definitely better natural chemistry with them where as with Guns he has to play with the people handed to him. I watch a few videos of these guys nightly and Slash is still nothing short of being the fucking man... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sosso Posted November 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) I would still visit the shows with Robin, Bucket & Tommy instead of Slash & Duff in the line-up. I became a GN'R fan because of Axl. Edited November 1, 2019 by Sosso 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner55 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'd have to agree. Saw him this past July. Wicked Stone. I love that song. But it did not need 12 minutes of additional aimless noodling to cap it off. Really takes me out of it. But that's just me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post F*ck Fear Posted November 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2019 I've never had a problem with Slash, Duff, Richard, Dizzy, or Frank's playing. I've never had a problem with Melissa being in the band or what she brings to the table. My problem the last few years is Axl Rose (voice) & his management team. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doufc Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Huge slash fan hes a massive reason why I play guitar such a cool guy and hes still game in my opinion. But to me he seems to have lost a bit of his signature tone. Not sure if its the new marshall amps or having his tech guy control his effects or the new gibsons but it all sounds more reverby and processed to me but then they do say tone is all in the fingers anyway.

I agree but looking at his records there aren’t many songs that come close to the Snakepit era soul and feel that he’s put out post VR. His playing on illusions and Snakepit were amazing. Back to the moment is a beautiful song on guitar especially the solo. Is there anything he’s done with Myles that comes close to that? Not really it’s completely different. We see glimpses of it such as the end of the one you loved is gone. But even love he noodles around on that and sometimes destroys the heart and feel of the song.

tadskis Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Slash these days is simply not playing up to his strenghts for whatever reasons as speed&many notes is clearly not his strenght. The most perplexing case is Yesterdays where Slash absolutely sucks compared to Illusions tour, not improvising upon or even just repeating studio version, but just fucking up such relatively short and simple, but great solo is inexcusable. Improvising upon should sound roughly more something like this Atomic Calm youtuber does from around 1.40 min in the song: btw, now it is easier to find other youtubers doing great improvs in classic style of Slash, than hearing it from Slash himself: Edited October 3 by tadskis Edited November 2, 2019 by tadskis clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsapple Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Sloppy and blant, way too much noodling for a guitarist of his talent, taking away from the tone and feel that made him famous. On the other hand I can't blame him. If I had to play the same songs in the exact same order night after night I'd probably be a little bored too. If they ever come up with new songs it will be interesting to see what he comes up with. As of now - boring as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beto 22 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Gotta disagree... I miss old Slash so much... Slash became a legend because in a time of shredders he was a soulful blues based player. Now he tries to be a full on shredder what is far away from his best at guitar... I just can't figure out why. But to me is so bad that I pratically think he didn't "relearned" his old deep cuts solos and parts... So when these parts comes in a song he just shreds and improvise... What in 90% of the time, is just bad... I won't even go into the Chinese Songs ... This another story... Even more I take the Axl quote about Slash not wanting to work that hard to be completely true 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the tone, his point was improvising more within the melodic ideas of the original songs. TMAC your posts always have a “I just did a few rails” vibe.

estranged_85 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 You can hate me for saying this but... his playing sounded better when he was drunk or on drugs in the 90s😆 I'm NOT pro drugs but he did have more feel to it.. or it was just that he was younger and felt more connected to the songs he created.. idk.. just speculations 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted enough of my covers, 15 years ago! Slash adds the notes he wants, because the feeling he got when he wrote the solo, is the feeling he has now, no usurper cover band can say the same, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoForJMark Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 You want him to play like the old days? Give him some mr goddamn brownstone and a bottle of jack. You'll see his greatest performance and his last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jacdaniel Posted November 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2019 Slash is the star of the show. He does noodle a little more than he used to but I feel it’s very exaggerated on here. Most of the solos stay close to the original recording. I think the criticism is a combination of people getting sick of the same show, Nu Guns fans looking to get a dig in, Axl fans looking to deflect attention from how poor his voice is these days. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
