niceguy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The honky-tonk piano is truly horrible. It's like having a 4th grader smear amateur piano shit all over an incredible work of art----you end up with shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 What's wrong with honky tonk piano in a ROCK N' ROLL band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The songs which needed keys (Estranged, NR), Axl plays them. Dizzy plays on all of the songs that didn't need keys (BO, 14 Years, DNB, Bad Apples). I have been listening to a lot of boots from the '91 tour and have decided that I prefer Bad Obsession without, harmonica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All are Stonesy honky tonk songs by nature. Also, Axl plays piano on 14 Years, not Dizzy. Dust N' Bones sounds better with the organ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgunblues1978 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Never understood the piano gripe. Gave some of the songs a very Stonesy vibe, helped differentiate UYI from the previous albums. However there's a large faction of the GnR fanbase that would've loved to see them become AC/DC, making the same album over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I feel like Matts drumming gets too much shit. I think whoever said it above is right, it was more the mixing than his drumming. I liked him live. Great technical drummer but does lack a sort of swagger. He was perfect for the types of albums the illusions were trying to be.

Guns possessed, ehh. Darren Reed: big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Slash had decided to do most of the guitars and have as little Izzy as possible.This. Slash is an extremely jealous person.sup volcano? Btw yes, the UYI's needs more Izzy, but i hear some stories about a raw, much more energic version of the album. Unfortunately, Slash lost the tapes It's a totally shame that 14 years doesn't got the extended guitar solo at the end. That solo is amazing Btw i like the pianos etc. but a little too much of the effects... Yeah Sorum is pretty mechanic, but overall i deal with it Edited April 28, 2013 by Crash Diet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaider Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I would like the Illusions to have more Izzy, but they sound fine to me... pianos and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I dont have a problem with the piano. My guess is Bill Price mix, he did Nevermind the bollocks i think. So sparse guitar. Pistols meets Queen. It works on some songs. Some songs they just didnt seem to work on enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
