I don't think you understood my question, instead of answering me you just made an identical post as your earlier one, just with different words. I could literally copy paste my question to your reply again

I don't understand what you're asking then.

That's stupid - the only other alternative is you seeing him ruin the same old shit. So you like that better then? Because it has to be one or the other.

I would rather see Fitzy play it probably than Frank do something weird with it and ruin the song.

Nah man - it’s really easy to be a part time front man like Todd and sound good like this. At this tempo and in the right circumstances Axl could easily replicate it - early in the set etc etc.

One thing that’s missing is the lack of any anger in the delivery. It’s kinda just spoken - Axl might be able to add more of that. It’s the tempo that’s key….if slowed a notch it offers more breathing time.

However it’s still very cool to hear it in any form, done well and actually shows it COULD happen in the future.

I think he did a good job. However - while I agree that breath control is key here it shouldn’t be forgotten that Kerns only sang lead on THREE songs so had plenty of gas in the tank.

I’m pretty sure if Axl was to have a go early on in a gig he could do absolutely fine.

One thing that was missing from Kerns (and probably from Axl if he did it) is the palpable anger that the original has. Obviously it’s a 30 year old song etc however it’s quite telling how different it sounds ‘speaking/singing’ it like Kerns - it didn’t have the bite and rage.

Keep in mind though that Todd is also singing backing vocals/harmonies for all the other songs in the set, it's not like he's only singing 3 songs and that's it. He's singing during the whole set. He just knows how to take care of his voice and make it last for the whole show.

Yeah I agree about the anger, but (like you said) I think the only person who could replicate that is Axl in 1991-1993. I'm not sure he could do it now.

Yeah, I know that Slash said the same thing years ago. However, if Todd can pull this off maybe Axl can as well. After all, they played Coma during the tour. 

No way, Todd is 100x the singer that Axl (in his current form) is.

Maybe he will use it as a tutorial to sing it during the next GNR tour No joke I think it would go over well it's mostly in his lower voice which still sounds every bit as good as it ever did. It's clearly not at all impossible to sing as we have just seen.

If he figures it out this would probably be the best addition to the setlist since Coma in 2016. Unexpected, not done at all before, and just a great present for the fans, this is one of GNRs most AFD-sounding and AFD-quality rockers, it's too bad it never got it's due live. This and Breakdown are the last 2 "big" songs of the deep cuts left that they could still pull out as a new addition to the set.

No thanks, I don't want to see Frank Ferrer mess it up.

I'm at NAMM too; I played that amp today and it sounds just like any other Marshall. Nothing remarkable otherwise. Also the Magnatone guy was being really annoying when I was there.

dont really know where to put this but it looks like Slash has a new Top Hat

Looks like the same one he was using around 2015-2016.

I hate Anastasia as the last song though, it should switch places with World On Fire...

It doesnt have proper momentum imo.

I agree, WOF would be a better closer

There are dozens of other better choices than Sugar Cane which is one of the worst SMKC tracks ever. On par with Withered Delilah and Bad Rain

I love Sugar Cane, idk why you all don't.

Looking forward to seeing videos of Don't Damn Me

That's so not fair. Overall this set is way better than what they did on the US tour in 2022. Wish I could've seen DDM.

This is a video of what I think is his old home studio. He's moved house since then so I don't know what his current set up is or whether he's let camera's in.

Others who follow Slash more closely might know.

 

That's not his studio, the drums and bass were done at NRG studio in LA and guitar and vocals were done at Elvis's studio in Orlando.

It was ok. I really think they should have focused on the recording itself, and not rehash the warehouse performance. The part where they rework River is Rising ending was the highlight IMO.

This was the best one:

This wasn't bad either:

That doesn’t mean Richard can’t take over on parts more suited for his level of playing, like they do live. Didn’t Izzy also play lead?

Rarely.

They should've released this back when the record had come out tbh, little late now imo. Still looking forward to checking it out later today.

Complete douche. Talented guitar player and he has written some great songs in the past (there's nothing great about the new record).

Yeah the new album is quite forgettable and the production isn't great either.

I'm very excited about the upcoming Slash solo album. in addition, Slash already composed at least 10 songs for The Conspirators which he has yet to release from before "4" was released. I'd like to hear those as well. 

hopefully the next Conspirators album will have better production. There were a lot of cool Slash ideas on "4" and tunes which I still listen to. It should be easier for Slash now to work as covid is not really as much of an issue.

also Myles was not 100% healthy when he recorded "4" so the next one should be stronger vocally.

 

They need to get rid of Dave Cobb and go back to Elvis.

Fortus just answered on Instagram that he "prefers to drink his beer alone and play the Get The Funk Out solo at the same time."

Can you post it here?

The information from Sp1at was from first days of December 2023, so I think late 2024

Interesting. Wonder when he'll have time to record then.

he's hoping for a GN'R album late next year

Meaning 2025 or late 2024?

I don't think they'll be able to do anything this year since Slash will be on the road for most of the year.

Hopefully you will, they did it on the last US run.

No, this sudden meet and greet was done backstage after a Guns N'Roses Concert. Axl says something like,"I'm surprised you're still here. Everyone else already went home." The Fan said,"I've been a Fan of you ever since I was nine years old. " Axl says,"I'm so sorry!" 🤣🤭😇

Yeah, still not the same thing.

Axl did a meet and greet although the meet and greet was a surprise to him! He still consented even though this meet and greet was literally sprung on him out of nowhere. Another Celebrity might have said something like,"Fuck off with this sudden meet and greet, I'm out of here!"😒 But he was actually nice to the Fan and even hugged her. 😇Edit. This was RECENT Axl. I'm not so sure if Younger Axl would have been so accommodating and tolerant. 💡🤔

That's just meeting people on the street, that's not an organized meet and greet.

They are probably going to ambush Axl by surprise with a subpoena. I saw something similar happen when Olivia Wilde got served a subpoena at an awards show or something. She at first thought it was a script for a new movie. She was shocked when she saw the subpoena! So maybe Axl will get the subpoena by surprise at say a meet and greet? 🤔

They don't do meet and greets.

via Slashfrance (Slash's interview for some South American media)

The last Slash and the Conspirators album was released almost two years ago. What expectations do you have for 2024 and what projects are you thinking about?
I'm very happy with the idea of extending this tour, since initially we only did it in the United States. I think it was early last year. So I'm really looking forward to this tour. And now that COVID has passed and isn't causing as much damage, we can try to get back to a regular cycle of album recording and touring.

So at some point next year, I'd like to get into the studio and start recording the next SMKC record and then figure out when the tour for that future album will take place. And then I have a record that I made recently that focuses mainly on blues, a little bit of old school rock and R&B. And it will come out after the tour with the Conspirators. 
I'm looking forward to that as there will also be a tour to support it. So those are really the most immediate things that will happen right now.

Yay!
