I think the coolest guitars played on a GNR stage have been Bumblefoots Double neck or Richards Trussart single-cut. Can't forget the bad-ass bumblebee guitar! I know people thought it was goofy but it was also hilarious!😄

I personally would add that Dark red/burgundy LP with white binding that Finck used on Better in 06 as well

i never backed either or. I listened to both.

Yeah, I believe he uses a fuzz and a dynamic compressor like the MXR to get there.

Couldn't that be Fortus? Same thing for the kill switch intro

Could be, but its the exact same atonal thing that was present in the center channel on the Village leak.

So unless Fortus learned and used Bucketheads nubbing technique while Bucket was still in the band,I think itd be very unlikely

I re-mixed All Nightmare Long by Metallica

I wonder if Slash will be re-recording all of Robin and Buckethead's work. 

I think we will hear some Buckethead, especially since you can hear him in bits of Absurd. (some say in Hard Skool too, but I'm not sure on that)

Slash is doing trills over Bucketheads "nubbing" (that atonal tapping thing he does)

Any other guitar players here? Have you seen the rig rundowns?  i’ve personally never seen Fortus using killswitch technique or having one installed in his whole collection of guitars that he ‘s shown in all of the interviews, i think that BH is not credited because of those seconds were just saved as a sample.

Obviously Fortus is capable of installing a 15$ killswitch button and exactly replicate that sound so they don’t have to credit BH i guess but whatever that’d be weird

Theres a killswitch right below the pickguard next to the bridge pickup of that offwhite aged LP Custom style Scala.

Theres also a kill switch on the aged red 335 looking guitar hes using in 2021 for the song

not going for robins tone exactly, but how does he get this synthy guitar tone in this video? according to that rig rundown he did in 2018 he was still using amps when he rejoined NIN in 2008. I assume he is using the Marshall TSL100, and a noise gate, but what is the effect that makes it sound like more than just a Marshall? a fuzz?

I did this Sony esque (keep the vocals and nothing else) re-work of "Why You Wanna Trip on Me?" a while back. I created modern sounding elements

Wish I could find a higher quality version of the acapella, as well as the vocal harmonies stems

I'm not the biggest expert on all the tracks prior to his death and what they ended up as on the posthumous albums. I actually need to look into that more 

EDIT- if it weren't for @Towelie, wouldn't even know Much Too Soon which is now one of my all time favorite Michael songs. 

well i hope you at least check that one out, the refrain is very modern sounding IMO even on the original

MJ stans are gonna flame me, but the Chicago rewprk that was released on Xscape is a banger. The original is also a banger

cool riff, Id say underrated sure.

Most underrated to me is Speed Parade by Snakepit main riff, or the riff at 1:00 of The Truth by Snakepit.

Serial Killer's main riff is pretty cool

tremolo picking like that is very unusual for slash. I dig the combination of that and the simple chugging riff. Nice to see slash go outside of his box for a little bit. prechorus and chorus are the typical blues rock tropes.

Cool to see that Slash is also breaking out of his usual arrangement for songs.

Sounds like SMKC but with a twist this time around.

Vocal melodies are nice and catchy, wished that slash would have actually written some riffs for the chorus to match the vibe of the verses instead of doing the usual big--rock-chorus thing

But i dig it

am trying to score Pit tickets for Red Hot Chili Peppers at face value in the presales. wish me luck

its a fun tune

I like to play this song to people who think they have Axl and GNR pegged.

Don't tell 'em it's GNR/Axl until I have them guess who is performing. 

They never get it. 

Id imagine that has something to do with the fact that its a cover, and not their own song

That little preview sounds pretty heavy considering its slash. ala Nothing to Say/ Speed Parade

Then again, an Eb power chord is always heavy

sidenote: I adamantly believe Adler played SOYL. Caram and Axl probably just put samples on all the drums minus the cymbals. And, as we have seen from these other 2 recent releases, made a sterile dry overly compressed drum mix

If it was Frank, no doubt he would have changed some fill to be more his style, but all the filles on SOYL are still Adlers fills

Mix sounds like what most 80s bands who release music now adays sound like

I prefer even the drum mix on CD to this, the triggers are too one dimensional.

However, I wil probably be playing this every fucking day regardless

This is really cool dude. I like how it went ambient and then you brought in the heavy riff. Keep at it!!

thanks man I appreciate the feedback!

All guitars/bass guitars played by me.

Acoustic drums played by a Fiverr musician

All other elements programmed by me

as a hardcore fan: It should have been one album

Best songs are :

YCBM

Civil War

Estranged

NR

Coma

The Garden

Yesterdays

Locomotive

I think all those songs could have been on one album and totally could have held its own in the market even as it was at that time.

Honestly The Garden could have easily fit into the 90s grunge era (even though it happened to be written in 88ish?). Wouldn't have changed the scene, but would have fit in nicely.

YCBM obviously had heavy radio play bc of T2 so no need to worry about that.

Estranged was kinda dark sounding so it wouldn't have been lumped into a typical ballad category imo

Coma should be after War

And Dizzy Reed should have been scrubbed from album performances

wish slash would use a more aggressive rhythm tone, like what he used on "Nothing to Say"

However, Slashs solo during the "calm" part was great. The original leaked solo may have been good too, but IIRC there were two solos on top of each other that turned into a indiscernible mush
