Tyler Drama Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 How come Slash never did more singing for GN'R? The only song I've ever heard him sing is that one part in Dust N' Bones (on the album and live), 3:02: I know it would be nearly impossible to sing while he's shredding, but there are definitely times where he could have lent more vocals to the songs. In fact, I've never heard Slash sing on anything with any band or project besides that one part in Dust N' Bones. You can hear him a little bit here at 0:51 but barely:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0rRd5UiTPw&feature=relatedYou can tell, though, that he has pitch and sounds pretty damn good. And no, he did not sing on the Sentimental Movie demo or that one time they played It's So Easy without Axl. Those were both Duff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think it has something to do with he fact can't sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 His lung capacity must have diminished over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 He has a cool voice so I'd be interested in hearing how he'd handle a lead vocal. I'm surprised he's never at least tried it, but maybe he just isn't comfortable singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only song I've ever heard him sing is that one part in Dust N' Bones (on the album and live).Check out Dust N' Bones, St. Louis '91 or Paradise City Indiana '91. I think he only sang because he was too drunk, in Paradise City he could barely talk.He has a cool voice so I'd be interested in hearing how he'd handle a lead vocal. I'm surprised he's never at least tried it, but maybe he just isn't comfortable singing.+1. Probably too shy to stand in front of a mic but yeah, he has a cool voice.

Probably too shy to stand in front of a mic but yeah, he has a cool voice.If you watch the live DVD with Myles, even when Slash talks to the crowd you can sense a bit of nervousness at the mic. I think he's just more comfortable behind the guitar.I'm the same way I suppose. I rarely sing when I play even though people have asked why I don't. I'm happy enough just playing.Well, that and I think my voice is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuddMckagan Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 He's always said that he doesn't feel comfortable singing. Would be cool to hear a full song with his vocals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Who does the respective skill better? Axl playing guitar or Slash singing? I think Axl but Slash does a mean talkbox. Edited February 9, 2012 by RandallFlagg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole 'I wear sunglasses 'cause the lights can't let me see clearly' is bullshit, we all know he does 'cause he's shy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Drama Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 He seems so into it here, 2:57: And looks like Axl's really tryin' to push that whole 'Axl and Slash singing at the same mic' thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Drama Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Oh, and apparently he's singing lead here: Not like I can hear him over Axl though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
