ouncie Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Wow, just clicked on Slash's list of people he's following, and was quite surprisedto see none other than the great Sebastian Bach......he's probally waiting for himto accept his offer to front VR, maybe Slash has finally decided to give him a chance.Maybe his song on the solo album convinced him.Bach is amazing, I never understood why Slash didn't pick him, he fits so perfect and his voice is amazing. Can't wait to hear him with Slash.Didn't Slash say that the problem they ran across auditioning him was that everything sounded like Skid Row?

I actually kinda wish they would've stuck it out with Josh and Keith (I think that's his name) from Buckcherry instead of having got Scott and Dave. Although I have no idea what kinda sound they were coming up with, it just seems like a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregunsnroses Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Baz was cool back on the first Skid Row record, and even cooler on Slave to the Grind but ever since then not so mcuh. His voice brings immediate thoughts of 80's "hair metal", and by that I mean Skid Row, Poison, Warrant, etc. Not GNR. They were different. I think Slash and Duff understand this clearly, and dont want to be seen as an 80's hair band throwback or something. They dont wanna sound dated. At least thats the impression ive gotten from interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getizzyback Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sebastian said he's not gunna be on Slash's solo album.Damn, I heard he was. That's too bad if it's true, I was really looking forward to it.Baz was cool back on the first Skid Row record, and even cooler on Slave to the Grind but ever since then not so mcuh. His voice brings immediate thoughts of 80's "hair metal", and by that I mean Skid Row, Poison, Warrant, etc. Not GNR. They were different. I think Slash and Duff understand this clearly, and dont want to be seen as an 80's hair band throwback or something. They dont wanna sound dated. At least thats the impression ive gotten from interviewsI really don't think it's fair to compare Skid Row to Poison and Warrant just because theycame out around the same time. Don't get me wrong, I like all 3 groups, but Skid Row isfar from the other two. Remember, it's not Skid Row joining VR, It's just BAZ! Believe it ornot, it won't even be SKid Row writing the songs for VR either......Bottom line is Baz's voicewould be a great addition. I sure don't want some old grunge singer from the 90s, PLEASEANYTHING BUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeper Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I know it says Twitter updates but there are other myspaces on here. News from SlashApril 24, 2009 - Friday weekly update! Hey, I hope everybody is doing well, these are some pretty harsh times we're experiencing at present. But, I feel optimistic that things are going to get better in relatively short order. I have faith in our new president, especially after 8 years of having absolutely no faith in the last one whatsoever. Obama seems to be on the path to righteousness, I guess we'll just have to watch & wait.Anyway, hard at work in the studio, we are 6 tracks into it & it sounds really great, great playing & super killer tones, not to mention stellar vocals so far. I'm still not at liberty to publically divulge any singer's names, but trust me, they're amazing. I know a lot of you out there know who at least some of them are. I will however, give you working titles for a couple songs; "we're all gonna die" is one, "These last words" is another. There is one song called "Crucify the dead" & another called "Beautiful, dangerous. We have about 8 songs left to record & I'm really excited about every one.On the VR front, not a whole lot news to report singerwise , which is a drag. But, this is one of those situations where just when you're ready to give up, something great happens. So, we're hanging in there until then, no matter what.That seems to be all that's fit to update, other then I missed Jeff Beck 2 nights in a row this week, which is a bummer. I did record some bitchin' guitar stuff instead though.........but still. Ok boys & girls, gotta go, see you next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last "leader" nearly destroyed our financial system and was responsible for thousands and thousands of deaths (US and Iraqi) due to a war of choice. So yeah if I had a platform I'd show Obama some love too. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not changing anyone's mind, all you're doing is potentially putting off around half your fan base. Real smart.Edit: Oh and to that kool aid drinking Evergreen Layne above: A lot of people aren't excited about the new Prez and what's he's doing or wants to do pal. And a Prez (and Congress) deciding to fight to liberate another country isn't "killing" thousands of people you fucking wack job. And you saying Bush "nearly destroyed" the financial system shows that you don't know jack shit about the actual issues.

It's Slash's offhand opinion posted on a twitter account, it shouldn't inspire anyone to be turned off to his music.Besides, you know you'd be whistling a totally different tune if he was praising the other party. Your burning political bias is so very unbecoming. Let music just be music, not everything has to be a battle over your political party feeling stymied.
