Is Slash using just stock Marshall JCM 800 reissues and ditched the AFD and Jubilees?

Or do the JCM 800 he uses on his rigs have any mods?

Thanks

setlist yesterday

What does the AFD, RED, DBL, Gold and INSP mean? Are those the Marshall amps that should be switched for each song?

Crap, sounds like something you would expect from someone asking for some coins at the subway or something, just a guy banging some chords and singing the song.

It's a good thing that it comes with a Owners Manual, might be usefull for the artist!

I can see your GN'R influences!

Srsly, it's cool for what it is

Yeah, sure.

Otherwise it'll scratch the paint of the guitar and also since the string will contact directly with the wood it'll rob some sustain.

Also a guitar player like you deserves nothing else than the best so that axe needs to be in perfect playing contidion!

I can only recomend Slash's sig.

It's supposed to be a sleaze kinda record but so far....

Bent to Fly reminds me some depressive Alice in Chains stuff (which is not bad)

UYI is at least as good as AFD; soundwise it's better recorded, produced, much more complex, I prefer the band's sound in UYI, much mor modern. The best would be to have Steven Adler playing on the UYI records; there are some amazing demos of Steven Adler playing songs like Locomotive - just youtube it , the groove's there!

AFD and UYI are different but it doesn't mean one's better than the other for me.

Amazing band:

Slash's UYI tone (and playing)...

Your whole conception of how radio and record companies work is ass backwards.

As much as record companies try, the audience is the one ultimately deciding what it wants to listen too.

There are a billion artists who were pushed to the moon but you never heard of them. Why? Because the audience didn't like them and they were dropped.

As young gun stated, radio is run on advertising. People tune in to listen to songs/shows they like. Radio's playlist is more influenced by the audience's taste than the other way around.

i wish I could believe you lol.

Well I work in the industry for quite some time now.

Audiences decide the flavor of the season, not the other way around. There is no big conspiracy against Axl not to play Better. The single flopped because people today are not fond of the genre and particulary Axl's niche in it, not to mention Better is far from single material.

See, you fully expose yourself there. Because name one single GNR put out that was "single" material?! Jungle? No. It had to be "pushed" by top record executive David Geffen onto MTV. 9 minute November Rain? You Could Be Mine? Not really typical singles. The fact is the record industry was behind GNR then, thus the songs played and played until the moronic pop buying public bought the singles/albums because they were brainwashed with the songs.

If Big Brother Clear Channel wanted democracy and Better to succeed, they would have played it and force fed it to everyone, just like they do the poppy bullshit featured on today's VMAs.

And we waited all this time to watch this crap live footage?!?

I was hopping for a superproduction of millions, a epic video in the style of NR or Estranged and then, after all the buzz, all you get is crappy live footage... well, at least it fits the song...

Hey, stupid fuck. The synopsis for the video was laid out for us a long time ago. Axl also clearly stated he hated all the old epic videos.

So you didn't get what you wanted huh? Awwwwwwwww. Good. I hope this extreme disappointment forces you to swear off GNR and all related message boards. Bye sub intelligent cupcake.

LOOOL... shut up kid, take your head out of Axl's ass and sense the reality.

What a crap of video. I want the 6min of my lifetime I spent watching that crap back!

No wonder why it was never released; it sure is better that no-one sees that crap.

It fits the song.

It's great to know that Axl still got it!

He remains the dick he always was! Except now he's old, sings like a lady and his face is all red.

Oh, I'm so humble, I bet that with me GN'R can top whatever album they did before, I'm so good it hurts lol

Yeah, sure you can...

Just keep playing the covers with a top hat and your mouth shut, people might actually think that it's Slash up there.

For those who don't know, Chinese Democracy is now being sold at Best Buy for $1.99.

Discuss/debate the laws of supply and demand regarding this album....

Finally a fair price.

Promotion starts now.

With exception for 3-5 songs, Chinese Democracy is a big embarrassmen.

Sad but true.

Dj Ashba is just a Slash fan really.

He even installed the same pickups as Slash always used and done himself a top hat so that people could confuse him with Slash. Even if it might trick the most distracted fan, after you hear 3 notes you instantly notice that it ain't no Slash. Credits to Dj, he does makes is best to copy Slash's style.

The origina:

And here's the epic fail copy:

I got a chance to see this cover band recently. They do have a big/confusing sound with so many musicians onstage. However they do not sound like GN'R.

I also saw Slash about 3 months ago and his band did had that GN'R vibe with him, including the sound. Sometimes the less the better.

Fortunatelly for Dj and for del james and for jarmo and for all the other bitches following Axl, Slash did left many great material for them to cover now. If they would only relly on CD stuff they would be playing empty bars and del james, jarmo and the other backup faggs would have to look for a job instead of being parasites travelling around.

from Del James' facebook

That sign is ridiculous. I'm a little surprised Del would purposely court controversy like this.

I agree that GNR management celebrating that sign is in poor taste

Dj who?

Funny how Axl keeps surrounding himself with his bitches like del and jarmo and other faggs. This tells a lot about who Axl is. I don't see Slash travelling around with anyone else than his band mates, wifes and kids. Axl prefers to keep these fags around him for really no reason

The end of the Slash riff sounds like the end of a song on Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Funny cos some people say Sorry sounds pink floydish.

Q: SORRY and BY THE SWORD have the same riffs?

A: No.

does anyone have links to other tracks acapella style from CD? Ive heard shacklers also but I think most of us have...Thanks

How could it have taken years just to record these kind of vocals?!?

What a disapointement... I was hopping on a instructional video for CD, like "Learn to play the souless and freakish rock solos around as played in Chinese Democray"

I guess nobody wants to learn them

how aout a video for poeple whose lives are so vapid, they find the need to post endlessly on forums just to try to upset people who are generally happy, then get more belligerant when they realize not everyone is so unhappy, and dont share in their butt-hurt misery?

bet you got that one in letter box, dont you sour ass.

Uh, the baby's crying, lol

I'm love when dumbasses like you takethings personal, someone talks about music and the dumbasses take it as a persona ofense so they start fantasising, very amusing and a little retared as well.

Well, you don't know me, you don't know my life, all you know is that nobody seems to be interested in doing instructional guitar videos about the freakish/sonically mediocre guitar works in Chinese Democracy.

Now go cry elsewhere
