Seeker??

It's great how the record grows on me every time I listen it, such a very solid record... yes, that's the correct word to define this new Slash work, SOLID!

Slash does not disappoint!!

Slash never enjoy doing videos and he's right, nobody understand what November Rain video about.-

Typical Slash record - I guess it will not get better as long as he stays within the "Myles comfort zone".

If this album would be released by a "no name" bands I guess no one would care about it..

Really?, maybe that's why we like it...

What a boring performancem what a boring band. Axl's voice is irregular as usual. GN'R used to be cool, nowadays is a joke.

Best album: Contraband

Best DVD: Live in Stoke

Best singer: Myles Kennedy

Best Snakepit songs: Neither Can I, Beggars, Back and Forth Again and Serial Killer.

Best VR song: Sucker Train Blues, Fall to Pieces and Slither.

Best solo song: Ghost, Starlight, By the Sword, anastasia, Standing in the Sun and So far Away.

I bet that reading his book it would be more interesting than attending one of the upcoming shows of Fake N' Roses in Las Vegas.

sound great! What a badass band!

"Civil War" Myles killer

I guess it is song he most like sing of GNR. Dont you think?

Agree, Rocket Queen is other song that sound too "Guns".

Embarrasing video. It'is quite ridiculous how Axl Rose wants to force people to remind the names of the news guys, a desperate attempt to save himself and his new band; Did not like it at all.

At this point I prefer Rocket Queen with Myles in vocals than Axl with his voice of rat. You can listen a Slash show and it seems that Myles is the original singer of each song, he's improved A LOT!.

Ritz 88 of course!

The day Slash and Duff signed their rights away to Axl............ That was the real beginning of the end IMHO......

agree.

Izzy fuckin Stradlin!, how important was this guy for the band!

That would be AMAZING!, but the reality is other, Guns n' Roses currently is a a group of sad clowns.

I'm so sick of reading the reason New GNR doesn't shine is press, fans, Slash or yeti' s fault!

Guys, Axl has failed over the last 10 years because he really needs old members to shine, it's so clear at this point.

I think it's the most pathetic Axl' permornace in history, RIR 2001: that's define New Guns era.

It's common knowledge that all five bandmembers were involved in the songwriting process back in the day, it was a true team effort.

I'm often criticized for seeming condescending, so I will try to be as polite as possible.

I'm afraid you are mistaken about all five band members being involved in songwriting back in the day. That simply is not true. Steven was not involved in songwriting.

Now, with that said, while Axl & Izzy were the primary songwriters, Slash and Duff still made VERY important contributions in terms of songwriting, not to mention the fact that Slash's incredible lead playing played a huge role in the success of the band.

I agree that most songs are more than just lyrics, but in addition to Axl and Izzy writing most of the lyrics, they also wrote most of the music (Izzy more so than Axl in this regard).

Before I get flamed, let me be very clear. I said MOST, not ALL.

It was a true team effort between Axl, Izzy, Slash and Duff. I'm not disputing that at all. I'm simply pointing out that Axl and Izzy were the team leaders and primary writers. That's not to say they would have been successful without Slash or Duff (who not only made key songwriting contributions, but also contributed great instrumentation).

I hope you will not take it personally that I've chosen to correct the misconception that you posted. You seem like a fine gentleman.

Dude, Axl Rose was mainly a lyric/melody writer for old Guns n' Roses, that's his principal contribution, on the other hand, Izzy and Slash was the music writer. Just read the credits in Illusions booklet, Izzy and Slash ALLWAYS appear FIRST in the credit line, why they appers first, because they were the main writter of the song. Besides the Slash's guitar was FUNDAMENTAL to the sound of Guns n' Roses, his Riffs and solos were a trademark for the band so it's very unfair not consider Slash as important as Izzy and Axl for Guns n' Roses.

That happened in Guns n' Roses, but if we go beyond Guns, it's quite obvious that Slash's carrer has been more consistant and solid as artist than Axl and Izzy Stradlin; anyway, on guns, three of them were the most essencial for the band.

rusty performance for a insignificant song.

Let me know when Axl sings an epic song in a correct performance.

Standing in the Sun is superb, Far and Away beatifull and Anastasia outstanding!!

Love it, Slash confirms that he's a very good songwriter and guitar player. Kennedy performance is brillant as well.

A "Big Guns" in Axl's mind may be any song of Chinese Democracy.

But think this, if he comes to Velvet Revolver, Slash will not play songs such as Watch This, Ghost, Nothing to Say, Starlight or By the Sword AND ANY Snakepit song again...

"Is is the music that determines whether it can be labelled as "Guns n' Roses"

Wrong.

So, what do you think?
