  1. I hear it in the melody and the chorus, absolutely...but it's still very different, overall, from SCOM. There's also the question as to whether the band even would have been listening to this in the mid-80s...they've never mentioned liking this band. I'm confused about why people would be pinning this on Axl alone, as well - the entire band was involved with developing the song, si?

    It could always be cryptomnesia. You can often hear influences in different bands' work; it isn't too much of a stretch that someone could unconsciously incorporate a melody or chord progression they heard somewhere else. And as others have mentioned, there are only so many chord progressions out there, and a lot of songs have similarities.

    Axl is not guilty, he was upstairs

  2. Psilocybin mushrooms and norwegian cheese Gudbrandsdalsost. Lime tree leaves in childhood

    Lime flavoured Dorritos...

    Waits for it...

    I still miss those things.

    We don't have Doritos and citrus lime. This is a lime tree with eatable leaves (when they are really young), you should try it :D

    'Limeyland' doesn't have lime trees with edible lime leafs, and I can't find them in Tesco...

    Alas.

    Can I not eat this leaf then?

    Yes, you can. Leaves are tasty only in childhood anyway.

  3. Personally, I hate beards and facial hair, so the times when he's been clean shaven automatically get a +1 from me. Except 2001 - 2002. I think he looked best, and healthiest, in 1990 - 1992.

    Love his objectifying photos of Axl :). Izzy's portrait from the Rolling Stone series is great also.

  4. And general comments about his playing style and contributions:

    Gilby: [...] Nobody really seemed to know what Izzy played. I would perform something, and Slash would say, "I thought you knew this tune," and I'd argue that I did. And then he'd say "No, you don't You are playing my part!" And then we'd realize that you couldn't really hear Izzy's part on some of the songs. So the we had to try to reconstruct his parts the best we could [Guitar World, November 1992]

    Slash talking about The Spaghetti Incident?: I love recording like this. During Appetite..., Lies and Use Your... I had to put up with Izzy the whole time. I never liked playing with him. It was wonderful to escape him on this record. It sounds tighter and so much cooler than anything we've done before. I always got irritated over Izzy's way of playing. It didn't sound right. Before "Spaghetti", we erased his guitar and Gilby put on a new one. It sounded perfect! [Okej, November? 1993]

    Slash: Izzy basically left while we were recording the "...Illusion" records. He's not on half of those records. He hardly even played on his own songs! [Kerrang! January 1994]

    Slash: I had to double guitars up for him on most of [illusions]. He didn't play very much [Guns N' Roses: Is It All Over? Does Anyone Care? Metal Hammer November 1995]

    They love each other :lol:

    Izzy: Well, I tell you what, there's nothing more annoying than a guitarist just noodling. Shredding, it's

    horrid. It's the same thing when you try to get a band together, you always end up with these

    noodlers, y'know...

    - So was Slash a noodler?

    - Yeah, when I first met him, yeah. Slash was a noodler, man. I think he still is. Like in Guns N'

    Roses he would noodle but then the vocals would come back in and that would shut him up!

  5. Well done, Slash. I didn't think Axl's tweet could be topped in the facepalm stakes, but by God man, you did it.

    It's an offensive picture, but I am most offended that she posed for it.

    In the end though, it's just Axl and Slash being 12.

    Godamn how sensitive people are these days!!

    Oh, I forgot about the forum rules. There was a picture from Slash's instagram with a naked woman in a thanksgiving turkey pose.
