Alejandro GNR Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) I was just listening to some videos of This I Love with Slash, and OMG, we may have overlooked how he murdered that guitar solo. Is it possible that Ashba sounds mucho more Slash than Slash himself????????? Robins solo is the best, followed by Asbha and Slash in clearly the last. It seems like he didnt even try to create a melody for this particular song. He just noodles and noodles and the melody goes nowhere. I dare say the most listenable one is the Vegas version 8-4-16. I was sure he would be mindblowing on this tune, I am really dissapointed I hope he sticks to melody on any new gnr music Edited May 7, 2020 by Alejandro GNR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw GNR in 2016, both nights Slash sounded amazing on This I Love and he had some amazing melodic ideas where some nights he goes straight into shred mode for it I would say when Slash is "in the zone" for the solo his best improvs on it are just as good as any solo taken on that tune. But he definitely has moments of "okay man slow it down a tad" some other nights 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joraz Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I think right now would be the perfect time to do a Green Day and make a political album seeing as Axl actually is surprisingly smart in the field and seems passionate about it. Worked for Green Day lets see Axl tackle the Trump administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frist, that's a level he should not go down to, second, if he writes lyrics for that, the songs will be released in 2040. =) Edited May 7, 2020 by thelostrose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Skies 87 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I feel like Slashs is one of the great rock electric guitar players and that his playing live is always sincere. He has such talent that sometimes its utterly brilliant - i loved the video of twat in Philadelphia but it got taken down (shock). Other times he is searching but doesn't quite find it but its always cool imo. I think the trick in the studio is not letting him away with too many "cool" or "organic" takes and really making him think. But then having the restraint not to let that roll into too much indecision and increased studio time. Theres always a low key improv/organic vs studio technology friction to reach the best outcome between axl and slash - I just hope they can do that this time without falling out and collaborate to everyones benefit!

jamillos Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 It's funny, when you think about it, when we compare certain eras: we came from "when is the album coming out" to "what album?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how quickly an album would be dated if it had Trump hate in it. Vague and unimaginative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoochild Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I don't think music should restrain from anything. If Axl feels like talking about politics, and if the lyrics and music are good, why not? I don't believe he would have to be literal and call names on it, there's a lot more maturity on being subtle. 7 hours ago, WhazUp said: I think it depends on the night.

He didn't care, so he didn't put too much effort on making it sound good. Maybe he didn't care about the song even before he left the band. I don't know, but I'm glad the song isn't on their setlist, I don't care much for it either besides Robin's original solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take that any day over the sort of cliched lyrics that litter most modern rock songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as musicians tend to be, by their very nature, left-wing, it's usually right-wing people saying 'politics doesn't belong in music'. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
