sweetness Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I don't know. The solo is good but I feel like some people really exaggerate how good it is, I've seen people say it's the best thing he's done since he left GNR.... pffff no
pugachev Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Song is just OK but the solo is his best since Guns in my opinion. Only the Live Era version of NR is better in all of his solos.
bacardimayne Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) The solo is alright, hardly groundbreaking. Typical Slash bendy-blues notes kinda stuff. Edited November 2, 2012 by bacardimayne
Free Bird Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Song is okay, but the solo is very powerful and emotional. It's absolutly one of his top 20 guitar solos post GNR ;-)
moreblack Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Exactly. The solo is everything. "Groundbreaking" has absolutely nothing to do with something being good. Edited November 3, 2012 by moreblack
vaida Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 Because the solo, that's why.+1..to add to that, the song isn't my sort of thing either.
izzydoezit Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 The solo is alright, hardly groundbreaking. Typical Slash bendy-blues notes kinda stuff.What makes you think that a solo needs to be groundbreaking to be good? BBF plays "groundbreaking" guitar but his music is unbearable to listen to.

Typical Slash bendy-blues notes kinda stuff.What makes you think that a solo needs to be groundbreaking to be good? BBF plays "groundbreaking" guitar but his music is unbearable to listen to.It's an expression. All I meant was that it was hardly amazing. Just a decent blues solo, hardly worth the mountain of praise it gets. Christ.
Estranged Reality Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Street Child O' Mine.Can you believe I'd never heard this until now? Why has this never been mentioned to me until now? Hmm...I still think Mother Maria is one of the most underrated Slashman tunes in recent time. Would have preferred to hear him do a whole album with Beth Hart rather than Myles, tbh. Her Janis Joplin blues-rock vocals are a perfect match for him. He needs to stray away from the sleaze-metal shit.
Free Bird Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Agree. Mother Maria is an amazing song. I would love to hear him do more with Beth.
Crash Diet Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 why do people think this is so goodWhy not?
