KiraMPD Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Here's a good review...http://ultimateclassicrock.com/slash-youre-a-lie-song-review/Still can't bring myself to listen to it so I'll just wait for it to come on the radio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol_Dave_Kushner Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Very cool riff and solo.I like Myles but I think he brings the song down this time.But it's definitely some great stuff to look forward too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original GNR Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I think it's a good straight up rock n roll tune. Not particularly elaborate but it's got a quality riff and oozes melody. The guitar solo could have been a it better, but nothing wrong with this as the first single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingB2179 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I have given it multiple listens and I am not too impressed...Hoping the rest of the album is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 http://ultimateclassicrock.com/slash-youre-a-lie-song-review/It's not a bad song but it CERTAINLY does not deserve 5 stars. It's an average song. Wouldn't even be a single if it were from the last album (which was a very average album), IMO. That site's licking some serious balls there.

BetterRocks Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It's just getting better the more I listen to it. I find that a lot of singles from upcoming albums are that way after a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have anything against the solo apart from the way it ends. IMO, the song's biggest flaw is the chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that person reviewing does think it's that good. If thats the case, it's not ball licking. You saying that makes it sound like your opinion is right and anyone that loves it is wrong.

Music is subjective.You're right about reviews being opinions but unless the guy thinks You're a Lie deserves the same grade as songs like Nightrain, PC, SCOM, or any other legendary song that deserves 5 stars, he kinda overrated the song there. Not saying it's not a good song. It's actually a grower but let's be honest - 5 stars are for generation-defining/hit-of-the-year/artistic-masterpiece songs in my book.

Irish Rose Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The song reminds me of a cross between Get Out the Door / American ManI think its solid i'll reserve judgement til I hear in full quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It's not bad, but it's not great either. I really dug the Slash record, but compared to that it seems a bit....mediocre. Still got good hope for this thing though. Some of the tracks on Slash needed to grow on me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterRocks Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 If you haven't listened to it in high quality, I suggest doing that, it sounds completely different in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I guess I can see why people think it's mediocre. But I really like the chorus. I like the entire song the more I listen to it and it's been stuck in my head all day.It has me pumped for the record, more so than before.
