I could see them opening with this actually. The intro on the song would be a great start to a show with that riffing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn_It_Up Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Is that Todd doing backing vocals on the chorus with LIAR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Riff and chorus totally stuck in my head. Exactly what you want from a lead off single. Good point,completely agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Could easily be about Myle's (or anyones') conviction to face their addictions head on.I think Myles said in the radio interview that it was about that little voice of self doubt that constantly pops into his head.

jmapelian Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I doubt the album will be full of 3.5 minute songs of this ilk (at least I hope not) so I'm going to give it some leeway and accept it as a fun addition to the album that will be cool blaring on my car stereo.In an interview somewhere a while ago Slash did say there are alot of longer "musical journeys" on the album.I think this literally was picked because it is radio friendly from start to finish and is the length a radio edit would most likely be anyway.Slash has settled on a lead singer to front the songs from his upcoming ‘Apocalyptic Love‘ album, and the chemistry with Myles Kennedy is unmistakable on ‘You’re a Lie,’ the album’s first single.The necessarily loud and tightly produced recording is amongst his best post-GNR works.The biggest challenge for a guitarist releasing a solo project is finding a balance with the vocalist that features the man who’s name is stamped on the album jacket without castrating his singer. ‘You’re a Lie’ begins with almost 40 seconds of Slash in the driver’s seat a la Ryan Gossling in ‘Drive,’ but when it’s time he lets Kennedy shine.“You’re a voice of reason that I can’t escape / Cut me down a thousand times a day / I don’t need you anymore / I don’t need you anymore,” he sings to open the lyric.The two — along with the other Conspirators, who’s contributions shouldn’t be overlooked — weave around each other like circus performers. Slash’s technical noodling only compliments Kennedy’s lyrics. It’s a brilliant balance they hold on to for almost four minutes.“‘Cause you’re a liar, liar / All my faith has been wasted, wasted / ‘Cause you’re a liar, liar / I don’t need you to save me anymore,” Kennedy sings during the chorus.‘You’re a Lie’ never lets up, moving from chorus to verse to guitar solo without space for a breath or even a pause for emphasis. It’s pedal-to-the-metal rock and roll from start to finish. Perhaps only ‘Black Betty’ by Ram Jam will be the cause of more speeding tickets.http://ultimateclassicrock.com/slash-youre-a-lie-song-review/that's a great song review! and so in-depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Wasn't sold on the sample, but hearing it in full, I like it! Nothing groundbreaking but could have fit in nicely on the last album. Looking forward to the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naupis Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Heard this in my new vehicle today, I must say if this song is an indication of the record I am sold the radio dude loves it too. Sounded rad to me It is kind of generic, but looking around at the reviews I have seen and youtube comments and stuff it seems to be going over pretty well because it is catchy and a definite foot tapper. I guess for a first single that is all you can hope for really as opposed to everyone hating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tat2d1 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 There's nothing wrong with a "generic" rock tune. Some bands have been quite successful at making "generic" rock tunes. AC/DC comes to mind.....Not everyone wants to make an album with 13 layers of guitars, 6 layers of piano and keyboard, etc.... some guys just want to rock out.

Even a simple 3 chord song can have personality, but this song simply lacks that, IMO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, some cool riffing goin' on, the solo has some cool moments and that's pretty much it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA_0013 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Sounds like another heavy drop-D tuning riff. Slash kinda likes these riffs these days (eg Slither, Watch This). CatchyLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
