But Alter Bridge is an incredible band 

 that's your opinion  and I respectfully disagree

He tries to prove his point by comparing the fanbase of Alter Bridge with the fanbase of GNR 

No I didn't. I compared with Creed. A Nu Metal band with an Eddie Vedder wannabe that was 100 times bigger than Alter Bridge ever was and probably ever will be!

I can only speak for myself here; I followed Slash's initial solo tour from the beginning because I am a Slash fan, however, by the time WOF came out I was a fan of the band as a whole, not just into it because of Slash. I've seen Todd solo, Toque, etc and at this point a huge part of me being into SMKC is because of those 2. So yeah I started out liking SMKC because of Slash but it's become much more for me.

Todd is the best thing on Conspirators... And personally I think he sings better than Myles

Im afraid you're not aware how big Myles/Alter Bridge fanbase is.

The problem is I'm aware... Much smaller than the previous band of Myles bandmates. And if fanbase is an approval parameter it would be better for Slash to have picked Fergie instead of Myles.

Personally I still think most of the Myles hate is just because he's not Axl. Doesn't matter if it was anyone else in his place they would still be disliked because they're not Axl.

Personally I think people like SMKC because of Slash. Doesn't matter how stock and uninspiring his solos are, they still like because its Slash

Myles

Yeah... It's never Slash fault... The only common factor between the bands...

Sure...

You can't compare a bunch of dangerous guys in their 20s to more mature guys in their 50s (except Frank).

Well we know who makes it sound that way (hint: he's in SMKC too).

Oh yeah? So why the SMKC is so vanilla?

Dont be buddy. My ears are well adapted after listening Slash solos in Conspirators records and the reunion tours

Post it, want to have laugh aswell

I don't if I can post the link here. But search for Osaka 2009 as far as vocal performance, Axl is better than Myles

Interesting. Is there an Axl fronted version of this song from the last 20 years that tops this performance?

 

yes

Cool

There is any pictures with Axl on this show?

Sucks that he never got to tour during his time with Guns n Roses. Late 99 into 2000 would've been a perfect time to do so. 

Oh, if Chinese had Josh it would be a much better record

No... It intends to sound like classic GNR. Failed Miserably.

Ju Ju Hounds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SMKC

I like a lot of Brand’s older stuff

 

 

The Story, Give Up The Ghost and Beer Creek are gret records!!

The Firewatchers Daughter has some good moments...

But I believe she lost a little bit of herself after Trump  election

The only thing stopping this song from being a classic is that it was made after their creative peak. It is certainly not filler or average. Much better than, say Shotgun Blues. That is filler.

Gotta disagree... The only thing that stops HS to be a classic it's the fact it isnt one.

And to be better than Shotgun Blues is not a compliment to any song

Musically the GN'R version is good, I really enjoyed the Westworld-inspired piano opening to the song. Axl, however, doesn't sound so great on the song.

For me, it would have been cool if they played it maybe 2-3 times max rather than keep it going the full tour.

I gotta disagree. This is the worst cover of the band. Axl doesn't fit the song, Slash slide part is out of tune 95% , Duff harmonies has nothing to do with the song.

It gotta a little better with time. But it's a weak effort at best

Definitely not just you, I had never heard of her. Wasn't completely sold on her version of BHS either!

But you were sold with Axl or the GNR version?

But I know for sure that I love this song and I don't care if it's old. I love this band and support them. And no one have the rights to demand anything from them. If you dont like it its pretty easy... 😉

If that's your prerogative, more kudos or power to you! 

I completely agree with you , no one have rights to demand anything from them... And they don't owe us anything. Like anyone can demand from fans and fans don't owe any band or artist, full support. 

Fans as artists are entitled to their opinions and their likes... 

It's a two way street... 

I really want not to be the person that bashes everything the band does this day... But it's hard for me... It's not agains the band, Team Brazil, Slash, Caram etc.

Like mobsters say "Nothing personal, it's just business"

But personally with exception of Axl's vocal mix there's nothing, absolutely nothing in this version that got improved from the leaked version. Worse, the released version it much more sterile than the leaked version. For me all the potential that has in the leaked was washed up and manipulated over years of tinkering and how many rerecordings.

It's already started bad with the intro and one with the holy grail of GNR sound, Duff's bass... It's completely stock in sound! Duff bass sound was one of GNR signatures and is there just to emulate an It's So Easy type of intro.

The new intro doesn't have any build up as the old one and Slash little licks is embarrassing to say the least. I'm not even close of a Frank basher, I'm the few ones that like him more than Brain, but what this new drum track brings to the song? It was him? It was Brain? I don't know, but these drum track is just also emulate some kind of Old Guns vibe that doesn't improve anything.

Slash it's in the song like he has been live with GNR since 2016... Uninspiring and stock!  And lowest part is in the breakdown after the solo and before the last choruses, there's one single note on the entire thing that I prefer over the demo version.

And the mix it's just flat... Not eq or compression wise... It's flat in the way it's so nice it's not sound like a Rock mix. I'd like to know who mixed it.

To a song that was demoed with a such grand production, this more basic arrangement left the song appearing to have a lot of blank spaces that wasn't fulfilled or even covered at all.

For more that I disliked Absurd with what I believed was bad tempo choices vocally, it's by far more ballsier mix and production and relates more with what GNR is today than this weak attempt to do a "Classic GNR " song

If it was only one album, that's all you might have got! They self imploded shortly there after. I'm happy with it. It was their last (original) musical gasp before destruction.

Like they didn't self implode shortly after... Izzy bailed before the release, Slash and Duff never released anything in GNR for 20 years!! They just finished the tour that secured them for life.

It's not like GNR released more 2 or 3 albuns because they put it down all the differences with UYI ... It was what it should've been even if it was like the KISS solo albuns.

I don't think It could be cut to a single album since there are a lot of  VERY LONG songs and cd only can have 74 minutes of audio.  But if they made an effort with a really good A&R guy  I really do think that UYI could be bigger than Appetite.

But it all ifs and buts

My 1 UYI track list would be 

1- Dust N' Bones
2- Don't Cry
3- Bad Obsession
4- Double Talkin' Jive
5- November Rain
6- Bad Apples
7- Dead Horse
8- Civil War
9- 14 Years
10- Yesterdays
11- Knockin' On Heavens Door
12- Pretty Tied Up
13- So Fine
14- Estranged
15- You Could Be Mine

 

This I Love
