so you're telling me there's a chance

they were right in the past about a bunch of Slash related shit if I'm not mistaken

want a brand new Slash album? either it comes with Myles as the singer or it's all covers. honestly, I'm extremely disappointed. This was one of my most anticipated upcoming releases and even without hearing a lick of it, it would be much easier now to wait for its release for me. jumping the gun somewhat though. could still be something cool that I would listen to on a regular basis anyway, but now I know it's a very different product and I think a lot of Slash fans wanted something else. just specualtion, but maybe Slash figured it was time to spice shit up a little after 4 Conspirators records so this was a low effort way for him to do something he was into while having no intention to end the Conspirators.

Aerosmith's blues cover album, Honkin' on Bobo from like 20 years ago was surprisingly good, so you never know. just not really up there in what I personally want from Slash after so many years of him working only with Myles when it comes to full albums of original Slash compositions.

no one cause Slash has a right to decide when and how he wants to announce it and what info and how much of it he's willing to share imo

which is why I said it could still be good and I wonder what Slash can bring to old blues tunes. also said I don't fault Slsah for not saying it was a blues cover album. I was expecting original material, I guess cause in my mind he was just going to do a Slash and friends type of an album but based in traditional blues.

not that I fault Slash for this, but it would have been better imo if he presented this project from the start as a cover album. I wonder what Slash can bring to old blues tunes. it's one thing when The Stones do it for example, it's another when a rock guy like Slash does it. even guys like Clapton and his Robert Johnson cover project kinda make more sense cause he's also a blues player or when Ace did the Origins Volume 1 and 2 covering mostly old rock tunes, again in his genre. this is kinda like Slash's blues ball in studio with guest singers. would have been much more exciting to have Slash just do a second Slash and friends album imho or just a solo record with one good singer other than Myles. I think it makes it more cohesive and flows better when a guitar player that doesn't sing only picks 1 or 2 singers and lets the material do most of the heavy lifting. Slash should do whatever he chooses to do and it's still going to be probably better than nothing. I was just hoping he finally did something a little bit more ambitious.

fuck, Slashfrance is considered reliable right? if true that it's all covers that makes it not as exciting for me at least as a concept. could still be good, was just hoping for original material but Slash is not really a blues player so if true it would make some sense I guess...

at least there is the Schenker collaboration

in a 2012 Gn'R gig I've attended, Bumble performed this song during his solo spot. just looking at his face while he played and sang it, I'd say my guess is that it is totally about his time in Gn'R, but as you said, could be about something else.

thanks for posting, nice interview. no new info about the new record though.

well... some of it is shit. like the youtube clip you posted to support your silly factually wrong assumption that all tubescreamers sound the same

I've used a bunch of tubescreamers in the real world and imo there is a difference. why are we talking about this.

maybe to you

do you know which type? was there a rig rundown or something?

looks like it, can't know if it's a modified/custom unit or what type of tubescreamer of course, if it is one.

both Snakepit albums don't work for me at all as full albums. Slash's playing is great in both, I just don't feel a connection with the music for some reason. I think it's the singers, the lyrics, and the vibe I get listening to it like it's just an excuse for Slash for playing. the songs seems to be an afterthought. I do believe that some of it had a lot of potential but it just feels too musturbatory for me to enjoy it. Chinese on the other hand, feels like it has a rigid direction, like the song is always king, without much space for the material to breath. Slash can come up with great riffs and full instrumental compositions by himself. Axl knows how to put shit together in a unique way that give the material weight, but he needs other people to come up with the shit a lot of the time, especially if its guitar oriented.

I think he's quite aware of that

I'll just add that sometimes out of tune bends and even out of tune guitars are part of a sound and the reason a piece of music works better. Have you heard about this for example? John Frusciante Speaks on Out-of-Tune Guitars on Red Hot Chili Peppers' Scar Tissue | Ultimate Guitar (ultimate-guitar.com) so I like the sound Slash makes during those fucked up bends on his Perhaps solo. we like what we like on the level that we like it and no reason should be provided, that's optional. maybe some fans don't care about the flaws and don't see it as flaws and how would you know who is being honest with themselves about how much they like a piece of music anyway? it becomes more pointless when you consider that what can't be measured is how good or shit a song is in any objective way cause again, it depends on each person that listens to it. it's not just math and the human nature is all about not being objective sometimes about things we feel strongly about like hardcore fans and music they're into but I think most Gn'R fans in this forum tell it like it is and even go into detail, explaining why they think it sucks or they think it's great and anything in between, often ranking the shit and making lists. it's to each to their own only if you kinda give people the benefit of the doubt most of the time imo and not urge them to prove they truly think it's great or insinuate they're just fooling themselves. it comes off as arrogant and again, I'm just talking in general, not specifically about you.

I miss the drum track from the leak. Slash's second solo with the slide is really nice. liked the bridge on the leak as well though. the chord progression was different and I liked how the 2 lead lines met at the most melodic part on the leak. having more than one version of a song I like from Gn'R is both cool and annoying. I often find myself missing a cool part from some other version of a Chinese tune.

yes, Slash doesn't shit gold everytime he plays or records a solo just because he is Slash, but no one is an authority about shit like music cause it's also about the individual listener and how they perceive a piece of music. there are many factors that dictate taste so assuming the person is dishonest or got questionable taste just cause they like something you don't like or don't like as much could mean that you find it difficult to accept the difference in opinion even if you don't mean to do it. (not talking about you specifically) like it doesn't make my opinion that something fuckin' sucks any less valid cause someone else or millions of people think is great or vice versa.

kinda seems like you are now questioning the musical taste and the objectivity of a poster about Slash cause they think one of his solos is great and you don't agree with that. if not, my bad.
