Rovim

I wonder how many tracks Slash and Duff reworked exactly. Do we actually know that it was 6 tracks and that's it? or that was just the number Slash thought would actually see the light of day.

it's fair to say that that's your opinion, I happen to really like it, even if I prefer Robin's original solo.

damn, that's ugly. I like the ufo's though. The guitar looks too real and disturbs the "flow" of it imo as well.

and I've explained why your reasons are silly imo. Slash doesn't need you to protect him on the internet, but whatever. It was just an observation, not going to argue about this. Feel free to post another cool Robin clip.

you're like Slash's lawyer sometimes. It seems to bother you that not everyone on the internet respects Slash. You and a few others. I think the issue is not that you chose to react, it's that the reason for your reaction is kinda childish. I don't mean to be a dick about it, just sharing my view on how I see it. like you're trying to balance the scales cause sometimes people talk shit about Slash, you didn't pass the chance to talk shit about Robin. Surely you see that that's kinda silly.

I don't get the vibe from the lyrics in Perhaps that it has anything to do with Lennon, just my opinion.

sorry to hear that, I hope you'll feel better in no time. Also hope you'll get another chance to attend.

I guess they wanted to promote Gn'R but also wanted to include Slither cause it fits along with the other snippets of other tunes and they weren't going to use the studio version cause it's not Gn'R. Because the mix is weird some people thought it was a studio version. (if I'm not wrong)

also, maybe the Gn'R camp didn't want to use Velvet Revolver's original studio version of Slither for some reason, idk.

the Slither snippet definitely sounds like a live performance and not a studio version to my ears

they can, but how much time would be needed for Axl to come up with lyrics and vocal melodies is maybe a relevant question and how long until Axl thinks the instrumental is good enough? maybe shit has changed in the meantime with Axl, but there's nothing to indicate such change has taken place.

idk, but Axl did say in 2016 in the China Exchange interview that he would love to release more music and that was 3 years before the Locker leaks so if you believe what he said then, I think he might have released more tunes but the leaks did happen so I guess we'll never know unless someone askes Axl or someday Axl writes about it in a book or something.

that's fine, by now I kinda already know your opinion on Robin anyway, I just don't get why would anyone spend time posting clips and mock shit they're not even into, but that's your business.

love this clip and Robin's playing. Doesn't have to be perfect to be good and imho, Robin's version of the SCOM solo was good.

pretty cool music video for Perhaps though

I agree that, like you said, Slash could have talked in general about some of the songs, but on the other hand, he did come up with a new solo for Better which to me sounds more fluid and not as choppy as what Robin came up with, which I prefer btw. the interviewer asked it kinda like a dick, basically saying that Robin was trying to copy Slash, I imagine because the second half of the solo where Robin does licks that uses similar hammer ons and pull offs to how Slash does it, but it's as a whole, it's very much in the Robin style imo. my guess is Slash liked some stuff Robin recorded on Chinese and some not so much. They both are influenced by Jimmy Page so I don't believe Robin ever tried to sound like Slash when it came to original material.

Bumble really doesn't seem to be the two faced type, if anything, he seemed to be very honest, maybe to a fault, and he also seems to be a sensitive guy. Most people can't control their emotion 100% of the time, so even if he was upset about the Gn'R situation and shared it with the public, it doesn't mean he didn't appreciate what being in Gn'R allowed him to have. I think he also stayed that long cause he didn't want the fans and Axl to be let down by him. He showed loyalty imo and still kept touring when he was in a bad shape and didn't want to go on tour. Couldn't ask for more really.

not everything is black and white. Of course there were positives for Bumble, but I think it was challenging for him to be a band member in Gn'R. Sometimes no one is to blame, but I feel it was not a good match and Bumble suffered because of it and also cause I don't think he knew what his role was going to be in Gn'R before he joined.

I think every band is allowed to play at least some songs more for themselves. I think it makes sense to keep playing it cause it only got its official release a couple of years ago.

maybe Axl enjoys singing it live and/or the band likes to play it

maybe Axl likes to sing it live and/or the band likes to play it.

Slither hit pretty well with the public in 2004
