Evil Ernie

Can't believe he played the solo's unaccompanied... a player like Bumblefoot can pull that role off as he plays the chord melody version.... that however was blah! and a great example of how plain old lead guitar out of context is not very musical and a little too self indulgent.

As I said in my original post, as much as I dislike him, he did really good in this clip.

So Ernie, has your hatred for Slash allowed you to sleep tonight? How does it feel to hate someone that doesn't even know you exist?

Show some class dude, come on.

We all need to strive to be as morally righteous as good-guy Ernie!

Glad I have your support.

Who the fuck is a GnR fan and then says they hate Slash?

Right? But you can always find one or two local bar guitar players and complete losers 'hating' on Slash. It's funny, 'cause saying that you 'hate' someone you don't know and someone who has no idea you exist is the ultimate proof of having a shit life.

I hate lots of people...

And at least I know HOW to play guitar.

I'm sure you've lots of time to practice your mixolydian scales alone in your basement flat in between welfare checks.

When you're not hating on various people you've never met of course..

I bet you're another one of those boring asshole musicians who think that just because they can read music and know all the theory they are better or more deserving than the guy who can't read, taught himself and made a massive career delighting millions of fans with his mastery of the craft of guitar playing.

You should head on over to a place like Yngwie Malmsteen (aka Whingey Cuntstain's) Fret-WankFest website with all the other muso shut-ins and complain about how there is no justice for guys like you.

Holy crap.

I haven't seen a beatdown like that since Rodney King.

Classy...

I know. I feel a bit dirty just getting into a conversation that pertains to you.

Now tell us again about all the people you "hate" and how great of a guitar player you are.

Perfect example of what I was talking about in my previous post.

Can't we all just get along?

Can we get along?

Naw, it's the way this forum has always been. You have your own opinion, you get personally attacked and you have to respond. Such as the person responding below me.

It's all good though. It's part of the fun.

It's really funny though, my original post was meant illustrate that as much as I don't like Slash I think that he actually did a really good job as a solo instrumentalist in this clip. I was actually showing respect.

If the prize is a lifetime supply of guitar strings I'm in!

Lol you hate Slash. What an idiot.

Explain how?

Just shut up now.

u mad bro?

Lol you hate Slash. What an idiot.

Explain how?

Slash can play the guitar, Buckethead can play the guitar, two utterly different spectrums but there is no deficiency in either's effectiveness to exude emotion and evoke appreciation in the listener. Slash has more than enough ability, ofc he is far better when he has Axl Rose to elevate his contributions but the man is a solid player who's shown the world he knows how to write a riff and lead that's constrained by the time and structure of a commercially viable song, that's also an under-appreciated aspect of playing an instrument. BH has also shown this but not to the extent Slash did in GNR, if he'd stayed in the band maybe we'd get to see it, but we have no doubt he could do this. Slash has not really gone off on BH like explorations so we don't know if he has the versatility to do this, he has no desire nor need to do this though with his touring schedule and chosen niche of music.

This is pretty much how I feel.

One shouldn't take a word like 'hate' so literally.

We officially have a new greatest fool on the forum, and it's name is Ernie.

I take this as a great honour.

I hope Slash doesn't give me my award trophy.

If someone is an asshole to me I will respond in turn.

Isn't this just another way of asking who your 2 favourite members are and who's your least?

didn't Axl have strep throat at bridge school?

We may know that, but that's not what the internet sees.

cupcake fail

How many multiplatinum albums do you have? Diamond albums? How many Grammys? Inducted into the RNRHOF first year of eligibility? How many times have you been ranked in the top 10 in lists of best guitar players ever? How many times had TIME put you as second best guitarist ever behind only Hendrix? How many signature model guitars do you have? How many signature model Marshall amps do you have? How many signature Wah pedals do you have?

Slash doesn't know how to play guitar

Wfa, logic doesn't work with frustrated local bar guitar players.

I'm not sure where you got this bar band thing. Really funny because GNR was a bar band.

Even if I was playing in bar band, how is that an insult?, it's better THAN being a 450 pound neck beard who has enough time on his hands to get 14,000 posts in 3 years.

Whatever. At least I know HOW to play guitar (unlike you) and at least I don't pretend that I'm Asian.

Hey, if you wanna make insults out of preconceived notions I can do the same thing.

People used to complain because Axl didn't hang out with the band anymore ... I wonder why ....

Who wants to put up with an always-drunk-guy?

Bitch please. By looking at Axl, we can clearly see he is no stranger to alcohol.

This is true.

Good for him. But playing the guitar after a few beers feels really good. Not sure about the drugs tho.

I disagree. I can't play shit drunk and that's why I never drink when playing or practicing.

Whatever worked for him though, I guess.

I said a few beers, not drunk

Naw even a few beers fucks me up. I love beer, jus' not while really playing.

I Will admit that that it's fun to fuck around on guitar after a few, but not for any serious playing.

Slash doesn't know how to play guitar

Even though Slash can BARELY play guitar, I will acknowledge that he knows how to play. I was talking about the person I was quoting.

And I don't see what level of talent has to do with records sold. Sid Vicious sold a bunch of records and he couldn't play bass or sing.

No I would not.

Chinese Democracy is a near perfect album. On par with 'Bat Out Of Hell'.

Good song. Too bad Slash plays on it.

Slash wrote it...

I know. And it pains me every day.

I hate Slash, but that wasn't bad in all honesty.

I saw Eddie Guerrero last week, he was walking down the street drinking Special Brew, had a chat for a few minutes, really nice guy

Was he with Benoit?

Benoit is dead, silly

Not sure if serious...

1) CD

2) Shacklers Revenge

3) Better

4) SOD

5) ITW

6) TWAT

7) Catcher

8) Scraped

9) Riad N The Bedoins

10) Sorry

11) IRS

12) Madagascar

13) This I Love

14) Prostitute

Since AFD doesn't have Slash appearing I will take that one.
