Megan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think its interesting that you have Sorry from ChiDem and the passion and anger and you have Slash with Crucify the Dead with passion and anger. They both contine to be amazingly talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose UK Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think both are great. Slash didn't write Crucify I don't think thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAFC Nick Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Both extremely good songs. For me, Sorry tips it, that song absolutely blew me away first time I heard it, and still really hits a note with me even when I play it 18 months on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateChick Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I can't compare Sorry with Crucify the dead, one is awesome and has Axl singing the other is an average song and Ozzy sings like shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost in the garden Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think both are great. Slash didn't write Crucify I don't think thou.Ozzy has said that he wrote the song about how "he" thinks things went down with the original GNR (or something like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmapelian Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 i like both songsas for that whole axl vs slash battle - as much as I'd like to see them bury the hatchet - I doubt that will ever happenpersonally i think Axl needs to grow up a little and let go of the past but it doesnt seem like that will happen as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Both are awesome songs. Bucket's solo on Sorry is on par with David Gilmour's on Comfortably Numb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plonker88 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Both are really great songs, Sorry clinches it for me though, I love how it treads this very fine line between ballad and rocker yet it still maintains this very powerful intensity,. Crucify has some really nice moments, the vocals and melody leading into the solo and the solo itself are great but at the same time itdoesn't really try to be anything more than it can be, it sticks to its foundation which is a shame because there were clearly a lot of avenues that song could have gone down. Instead it sticks to a straight line policy, if that makes any sense. That's the one thing that bugs me about Slash at times, he doesn't seem to be willing to go too far enough out of his comfort zone which I think is a shame. Promise is still the best song he has done since leaving Guns though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian0612 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Crucify the Dead is the worst song on Slash's record in my opinion. Sorry is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlCorp Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Crucify The Dead would have been good in the early 90's ..now it seems musically irrelevant. Whereas, Sorry still feels new, although it draws from alot of classic rock influences. Slash' entire album is okay, but seems to lack direction for me, maybe it's cause there isn't just one lead singer...never been a big fan of these types of Albums.

Whereas, Sorry still feels new, although it draws from alot of classic rock influences. Slash' entire album is okay, but seems to lack direction for me, maybe it's cause there isn't just one lead singer...never been a big fan of these types of Albums.I think Ozzy's post-Sabbath stuff has had a 90s feel even before the 90s. Crucify sounds like a song that would be on Ozmossis, which is my favourite Ozzy album. 'Sorry' is a 70s song. It's nothing new. The thing with a lot of young GNR fans (I was once like you) is they listen predominantly to GNR and GNR-member related music. You think because Axl adds some synths to a hard rock sound, it's new and modern? A band called The Tea Party started doing that in 1994. They were/are an amazing band that basically picked up where Zeppelin left off with Kashmir, and threw in some electronica. They also have really good rockers.CD didn't impress me at all, because everything on that album sounds like 70s, 80s and 90s music with protools plugins. It was terribly produced. There are audible track cuts, badly mixed overdubs... it was a disaster. I have over 10,000 albums in my collection, and I think I have to say, CD was probably one of the worst mastering disasters. (Probably not Axl's fault)Slash's CD, has a cohesive sound, despite the changing singers. I wasn't a fan of the production on VR's albums, but Slash's is great I find. At least it speaks to my ears. I've never really said it on these boards before because I'm supposed to be a huge Slash fan, but Snakepit wasn't really my thing aside from two or three songs of 5 o'clock and VR was semi-exciting, but I literally cannot stop listening to the new cd. It's brilliant and has concretely proven to me that Slash doesn't need Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Slash's album is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plonker88 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 both songs are great, but sorry is a bit more epic so id have to go with that, but if Slash was to play over Sorry, oh man....be kinda ironic tho...If Slash played on that song it wouldn't sound anything like the one we have at the moment. I doubt Slash would have gone for it if Axl pitched an early demo to him, too far out of his comfort zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn_It_Up Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Was really hoping Ozzy would deliver and this track exceeds expectations from awesome lyrics, to vocals to music/solo. Killer track and another that would do well as single on Rock Charts(but not as well as Promise).... Edited April 14, 2010 by Turn_It_Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe how anyone can listen to it. It is absolute trash.I was 9 years old so no I wasn't, don't see how that makes my opinion any less valid. I don't agree with you on the quality of Sorry as a song, it has nothing to do with age, it's just a clash of viewpoints. Funny that considering this is a fourm that revolves around music, one of the most subjective mediums on the planet.Puberty? OMG has been out for about 10 years correct? He hadn't hit puberty yet, that was the middle of his teletubby stage.I was more of Thomas the Tank Engine kind of guy.
